Cruz Beckham shared a childhood picture of his estranged brother Brooklyn this weekend – despite his older sibling blocking his whole family and reportedly demanding he is kept off their social media On Saturday Cruz shared a new Instagram without a caption which featured recent holiday pictures with Romeo, as well as a throwback picture with BrooklynOther images from the album showed the family in Italy, enjoying a mozzarella making workshop and soaking up the sun.The Beckhams were famed for their close bond as a family before Brooklyn denounced his family with an explosive statement in January.Their firstborn told the world he wanted nothing to do with ‘Brand Beckham’ in a scathing statement, to which the Beckhams have never replied. David and Victoria have been soaking up the sun with their family on a European jaunt this summer. Yet the pair stole some time to themselves away from three of their four children, with estranged son Brooklyn notably absent from the family trip, as they enjoyed a date night in Portofino at a swanky hotel on Saturday night. The couple revealed they were returning to the hotel 29 years after they first visited, before their relationship was common knowledge in 1997. The footballer added a caption on the shot reading: ’29 years ago we came to portofino to this hotel before anyone knew we were dating and here we are back again @victoriabeckham Portofino 97.’ Victoria sent temperatures soaring during the night out as she sizzled in a black lace gown which flashed her perky bottom and lingerie underneath.She then cosied up to David for a snap, in which she also showed off her cleavage in the plunging gown – leaving very little to the imagination. Other images from the album showed the family in Italy, enjoying a mozzarella making workshop and soaking up the sun Cruz was also taking time to practice his music during the European trip with his family Cruz also shared a funny selfie with his girlfriend Jackie Meanwhile this weekend Nicola Peltz took to Instagram to share a picture of her husband Brooklyn as she documented her summer Meanwhile Jackie was also sharing snaps from the trip as she posed in a blue bikini Her and Cruz also packed on the PDA during a beach trip She also posed in a gorgeous blue cut out dress as the family enjoyed a swanky dinner outThe couple began dating in 1997, after David requested to meet her having seen her in a leather catsuit in the Spice Girls’ Say You’ll Be There video.Then known to her legions of fans as Posh Spice, Victoria admitted that nobody even wanted to date her before she was eventually introduced to David in 1997 – at his request – after his team’s charity football match.’That’s the girl for me and I’m going to get her!’ David told The Sun of a conversation he had with a pal as he watched the star strut her stuff onscreen. ‘She’s my idea of perfection. I knew that if she wanted me, we would be together forever.’Just over a year after meeting, in January 1998, the couple, now affectionately dubbed Posh and Becks, ended weeks of speculation over whether they’d taken their romance to the next level, when they announced that they were engaged to marry. Later speaking to Vogue in 2016, Victoria said: ‘Love at first sight does exist. It will happen to you in the Manchester United players’ lounge – although you will get a little drunk, so exact details are hazy.’The Beckhams famously married in a spectacular ceremony, costing a reported £800,000 in which they both donned bold ensembles. Images from the big day featured in an OK! spread and front cover story. Brooklyn Beckham’s January statement in full ‘I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life. For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped. My mum cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress. Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children.They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated. My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since. During the wedding planning, my mum went so far as to call me ‘evil’ because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra, and Nicola’s Naunni at our table, because they both didn’t have their husbands. Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours.The night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was ‘not blood’ and ‘not family.’ Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I’ve received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders.Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last Summer. My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song. In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead. She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life. We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment.My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we’ve tried to come together as one. My mum has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable.Despite this, we still travelled to London for my dad’s birthday and were rejected for a week as we waited in our hotel room trying to plan quality time with him. He refused all of our attempts, unless it was at his big birthday party with a hundred guests and cameras at every corner.When he finally agreed to see me, it was under the condition that Nicola wasn’t invited. It was a slap in the face. Later, when my family travelled to LA, they refused to see me at all.My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first. Family ‘love’ is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo opp, even if it’s at the expense of our professional obligations.We’ve gone out of our way for years to show up and support at every fashion show, every party, and every press activity to show ‘our perfect family.’ But the one time my wife asked for my mum’s support to save displaced dogs during the LA fires, my mum refused.The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards. I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared.I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief. My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.’
