Victoria Beckham shows support for her son, Cruz.
On Friday, Jan. 23, the fashion mogul, 51, shared a tribute to the musician, 20, on her Instagram Stories. The post came just five days after her eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, dropped major allegations against her and his dad, David Beckham.
Family Drama Surges
Brooklyn, 26, had been silent for months amid speculation about a rift within the family. He finally spoke out, posting a series of messages that claim his parents are trying to “endlessly ruin” his relationship with his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, in the name of publicity. He also accused them of attempting to “bribe” him into signing away the rights to his name before his and Nicola’s wedding, and said Victoria “hijacked” their first wedding dance.
The backlash was immediate. A source close to the situation told News Of Los Angeles that Brooklyn and Nicola, 31, “never wanted any of this.”
Victoria and David Show Support
In the wake of Brooklyn’s accusations, Victoria posted over a repost of Cruz’s Instagram announcement that he is going on tour with his band. The caption read: “So proud of you Cruz!!” She added in the comments, “We r all so proud of u Cruz ❤️.”
David, 50, mirrored his wife’s support by reposting the announcement on his Instagram Stories and adding, “🩷🩷🩷🩷.” The couple’s unified front highlights the stark divide between the two sons.
Cruz’s Tour Announcement
Cruz’s post, shared on Friday, read: “I’m so excited to announce the first mini tour. It’ll be my dream to play you the music I’ve been working on. see you there? 🙂 let’s av a good time shall we,” with a note that tickets go on sale Friday, 30th of January at 10 AM.
The announcement comes at a time when the family’s public image is under scrutiny. Cruz, who has already faced media attention for his music career, appears to be navigating the storm with confidence.
Social Media Echoes
Cruz’s presence on social media has not gone unnoticed. On Thursday, he shared a snapshot of himself holding a can of Guaraná Antarctica, a popular Brazilian soft drink. The accompanying music was the 2001 song “I’m Not Such an Innocent Girl” by Victoria, which many fans speculate is part of a campaign to boost the track to No. 1 on the charts.
While no context was provided for the post, the choice of song has led some to believe it references the long-rumored feud between Victoria and Nicola. The timing of the post, amid the family drama, suggests a deliberate message to the public.
