Cruz Beckham Reacts to Brooklyn Beckham’s Victoria Beckham Dance Claim

Cruz Beckham isn’t dancing around the family drama.

Following his brother Brooklyn Beckham’s claims of a strained relationship with their family – including an account of his mother, Victoria Beckham, behaving inappropriately at his 2022 wedding to Nicola Peltz Beckham – Cruz Beckham appeared to playfully tease his brother about the story.

A 20-year-old user reacted to an Instagram post from January 19th—confirmed by TopMob News—that playfully suggested Victoria’s supposed wedding dance moves resembled her performance of the song “Not Such An Innocent Girl” at the TMF Awards in 2001. Footage from that performance shows the former Spice Girl dancing suggestively on stage, wearing leather pants and a bra top under a see-through black tank top.

As a lifestyle observer, I’ve noticed a lot of chatter online about the Beckhams! It seems Cruz, one of Victoria and David Beckham’s four children, has been actively engaging with some funny content. He recently liked an Instagram Reel from comedian Olly Hume where Olly playfully acted like the DJ at Brooklyn and Nicola’s wedding, jokingly announcing a song requested by Nicola’s mom for her first dance with her son. It’s a sweet and humorous take on their special day!

When the song “Pony” by Ginuwine started playing, Olly pretended to be shocked and impressed, and jokingly commented, “Interesting moves Victoria.”

As a huge fan, I was really shocked to hear Brooklyn speak out about the dance with his mom. Apparently, it wasn’t the sweet moment everyone thought it was. He claims she actually took over his first dance with his wife, which they’d carefully planned for weeks to a special love song. Sources said it originally made Nicola cry, and now hearing his side of things is just… a lot to process.

In a post on Instagram from January 19th, the 26-year-old explained that Marc Anthony unexpectedly called him onstage during his wedding reception. He thought he was supposed to have a dance with his wife, but his mother was waiting to dance with him instead, in what was planned to be that romantic moment in front of their 500 guests.

Brooklyn explained that the woman danced suggestively on her in public, leaving her feeling deeply uncomfortable and humiliated. She said it was the most embarrassing moment of her life.

The influencer said he and Nicola, 31, decided to have a vow renewal in August because they wanted to make happy new wedding memories, replacing the ones that caused them stress and discomfort.

Victoria and David Beckham, who also have children Romeo, 23, and Harper, 14, haven’t commented publicly on the ongoing family issues. However, their son Cruz has been willing to address the situation directly. Last December, he clearly denied reports that he and other family members had unfollowed Brooklyn and Nicola on Instagram.

Senator Cruz responded to a claim on December 20th via Instagram Stories, stating it was false. He shared a screenshot of a Daily Mail headline and explained that his parents would never unfollow him. He clarified that they—and he—had been blocked, not unfollowed.

For a deep dive into all the drama among the Beckhams, keep reading.

While there wasn’t an official requirement, many people expected Nicola Peltz Beckham to wear a wedding dress designed by her future mother-in-law, Victoria Beckham, when she married Brooklyn Beckham in April 2022. The wedding took place at Nicola’s family’s estate in Palm Beach, Florida.

So when she didn’t, going with Valentino Couture instead… Bad blood alert!

Nicola kept quiet about the issue for months, but eventually confirmed there wasn’t any major conflict about the dress. She did admit to being a little upset that she wouldn’t be able to wear a custom Victoria Beckham design.

In August 2022, Nicola told Variety that she had initially planned to wear a dress by this designer and was very excited about it. However, a few months later, the designer informed her that her workshop couldn’t fulfill the request, forcing Nicola to choose a different gown. Nicola clarified that the designer never prohibited her from wearing the dress, and she never expressed a lack of interest in it. This misunderstanding was the origin of the rumors that followed, which were then exaggerated by the media.

Brooklyn said she’s realized people will always try to be negative or bring others down. However, she’s happy that everyone on the team gets along well.

Speaking to Grazia the following month, Nicola called the Beckhams “great in-laws.”

Victoria, who rarely addresses gossip, finally described the Peltz-Beckham wedding as “beautiful.”

“Seeing my son so happy is incredibly meaningful to me,” she shared on TODAY that October. “You can’t ask for anything more than that.”

Oh my gosh, you will NOT believe who was at Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday! It was insane – Tom Cruise was there, and all the Spice Girls! Emma, Geri, Mel B, Mel C – the whole crew! It was a dream come true. Honestly, the only one missing was her daughter-in-law, which was a little weird, but still…Tom Cruise! I’m still losing my mind thinking about it!

Nicola shared on Instagram that she was visiting her grandmother, who sadly passed away less than a month later.

As many of you know, I wasn’t able to make it to Victoria Beckham’s birthday party, and I was so bummed to miss celebrating with her! I sent her a message on Instagram letting her know I was thinking of her and sending all my love from me and my little one. I really miss the whole family! Of course, I also wished her a happy birthday on the day itself – April 17th – sharing a sweet photo of us and telling her how much I love her and how much fun we have dancing together. It’s always tough when you can’t be there in person, but sending love is the next best thing!

Naunni’s death deeply affected Nicola, and many others shared their grief. Brooklyn posted a heartfelt tribute on Instagram, remembering Naunni’s joyful spirit and infectious laughter. They expressed how much they missed her and would love her forever, and sadly reflected on the fact that their future children wouldn’t have the chance to know her. Brooklyn described Naunni as a truly unique and irreplaceable person, dearly missed each day.

In a June 2024 interview with InStyle, Brooklyn reflected on his upbringing – growing up with a famous football player for a father and a Spice Girl for a mother – and shared, “I was so happy.”

Honestly, things were a little crazy, but I have to say, I’m so lucky to have the most amazing parents. Despite the busyness, it was genuinely a really fun experience!

Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz spent some of the 2024 holidays with Nicola’s family, and photos shared by David and Victoria Beckham showed the whole family enjoying time together in the present, proving everyone was united during the season.

Victoria shared a series of photos and expressed her joy at spending the holidays with her family, writing, ‘Being together for the holidays makes me so happy. I love you all so much!’ She also tagged each of her children and her daughter-in-law in the post.

It’s unclear why, but Brooklyn and Nicola weren’t in any of the photos David Beckham’s parents shared from his 50th birthday celebration with family and friends in London in May 2025.

According to a source at TopMob News, the couple traveled to England, choosing to miss the Met Gala on May 5th, because they wanted to visit David and celebrate his birthday with him that week or weekend.

According to a source who spoke with People magazine, Brooklyn Beckham decided against going to David’s party because he didn’t want to encounter his brother Romeo’s girlfriend at the time, DJ Kim Turnbull. Turnbull had been increasingly present at family events, like the Victoria Beckham show during Paris Fashion Week in March 2025, ever since Romeo and she began dating publicly in November 2024.

When someone on Instagram wondered why Brooklyn Beckham chose to be with Kim instead of attending his dad’s party, Cruz Beckham, Brooklyn’s younger brother, quickly responded to clarify that Brooklyn and Kim were never a couple.

TopMob News reported in June 2025 that Romeo and Kim have split up, suggesting a possible reunion between Romeo and his brother could be on the horizon.

The wedding is facing even more drama now that reports have surfaced about a problem during the couple’s first dance. It’s still unknown exactly what happened, but things clearly didn’t go as planned.

According to a source who spoke with TopMob News in May 2025, Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz expected Marc Anthony to perform their first dance. However, Anthony surprised everyone by announcing, “Please welcome to the stage the most beautiful woman in the room—Victoria Beckham.” This left Brooklyn feeling confused and put him in an uncomfortable position.

Nicola briefly left the wedding reception in tears, but she returned and was able to regain her composure to enjoy the rest of the celebration.

While the situation was upsetting, it didn’t stop David from being a best man at Marc’s wedding to Nadia Ferreira in January 2023. However, it’s easy to see why Nadia might have found it more difficult to move past.

According to a source, Brooklyn and Nicola have tried to build a relationship with his family over the years, but currently, they’re not on good terms.

In a May 2025 Instagram post, Brooklyn affectionately called Nicola his “whole world,” expressing his deep love with a message saying he always chooses her and considers her the most amazing person he knows, promising a future together.

When accusations arise, those accused usually hire lawyers. The recent story about Nicola being upset at her wedding three years ago might be a sign of further issues to come.

After reports surfaced that Brooklyn and Nicola Beckham had hired a lawyer previously known for working with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, a source confirmed to TopMob News that the couple does have legal representation, but it’s not related to managing their public image.

Instead, they’ve brought in Jenny Afi, a lawyer from the U.K. firm Schillings, to correct inaccuracies and fight the spread of false information.

Although the law firm represents the Sussexes – and their 2018 wedding included David and Victoria Beckham – a source confirmed there’s no link to Meghan and Harry in this particular case. The source emphasized that Schillings is a well-regarded firm with many different clients.

The source pointed out that this situation perfectly illustrated the need for a lawyer – to correct false information and ensure the truth is known.

Neither Brooklyn nor Nicola publicly acknowledged David’s knighthood in November 2025. They were also missing from the celebration when his soccer team, Inter Miami CF, won the MLS Cup in December 2025. Only Victoria, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper were there to cheer the victory.

In late December 2025, rumors spread that David and Victoria Beckham had blocked their son Brooklyn on Instagram. However, Cruz Beckham quickly dismissed these claims.

He denied the claims on Instagram Stories, stating, “My parents would never unfollow me.” He clarified that his parents and he were all blocked on the platform, and that’s what people were seeing.

Brooklyn Beckham chose to spend Christmas 2025 with his wife Nicola’s family, including her parents Claudia Heffner Peltz and Nelson Peltz, rather than join his own family. His younger brother, Cruz, stayed home for the holidays with their parents.

David recently shared a look back at 2025, posting photos with loved ones throughout the year. Notably absent from the pictures were his oldest son and Nicola, Brooklyn’s wife, fueling speculation about a family disagreement.

An hour later, David posted old photos of himself with each of his and Victoria’s children, sharing a sweet message with a black-and-white picture of Brooklyn: “I love you all so much.”

In January 2026, Brooklyn posted a detailed message on Instagram explaining his difficult relationship with his family.

He stated he doesn’t want to make amends with his family. He explained that he’s asserting his independence and finally prioritizing his own needs, something he hasn’t done before.

In a recent post, Brooklyn accused his parents of manipulating the media to shape the story of their family. He also claimed they prioritize the “Beckham brand” over everything else and have actively attempted to sabotage his relationship with Nicola.

He mentioned struggling with anxiety throughout his life, but says he now feels peaceful and relieved since creating distance from his family.
