Cruz Beckham gets emotional and says ‘life is too short to not talk things through’ as he reflects on brotherly love amid feud with brother Brooklyn
Cruz Beckham seemed to be sending an olive branch to brother Brooklyn amid the family feud, as he shaed a cryptic message about ‘talking it out’ and ‘brotherly love’.
The aspiring singer, 20, shared a picture of himself looking emotional alongside a crying face emoji.
He wrote: ‘Life is too short to be silent, at least talk it out’.
Cruz also shared a sweet video of a brother gifting his sibling a guitar and wrote ‘brotherly love’.
Cruz is the youngest son of David and Victoria, who are also parents to Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 23, and their only daughter, 14-year-old Harper.

Brooklyn has been engaged from his family for some time, with tensions coming to a head in May when he and wife Nicola Peltz, 30, snubbed his father’s 50th celebrations and Cruz and Romeo unfollowed him on Instagram.
Speaking on James Corden‘s This Life of Mine podcast released on Tuesday, David spoke about his ‘soft’ parenting style in an emotional interview about his home life with his wife, Victoria, and their children.
The football legend, 50, revealed he takes the opposite approach to his dad’s ‘tough love’ method. David said: ‘I would like to say that I brought my children up with the same values as what my dad and mum taught me and my sisters…
‘My kids are very polite. My kids are very well mannered. My kids are humble and they all have the same values as what I have and my wife has. That’s the proudest thing that we have as parents, in all honesty.’
‘I am different with my kids – I’m a lot softer than my dad was,’ David added. ‘But there’s certain traits that I do have the same as my dad.’
The interview was recorded last year but released this week amid continued tension between David and Brooklyn, who was notably absent from his father’s knighthood ceremony at Windsor Castle last month.
The aspiring chef reportedly did not reach out to congratulate his father on achieving his life’s dream, instead choosing to promote his hot sauce brand Cloud23 while the ceremony took place.
David was joined at the historic occasion by his wife Victoria, 51, parents Ted and Sandra, and his three youngest children.

Brooklyn’s absence spoke volumes about the state of their relationship, with sources claiming he has become increasingly estranged from the family since marrying American actress Nicola.
David added: ‘Family has always been important and the greatest thing [Victoria] has ever given me is my four children. We created this life with four amazing children which are the most important things in our life.
He also said that although he’s not as strict as his dad, he uses his own method to keep them in check.
Asked how he has reacted when his sons – all of whom have played football with the Arsenal Academy – didn’t perform well on the pitch, he replied: ‘I go quiet, actually. And then the boys know exactly whether I’m happy or not happy.’
He recounted how during one match, he told his youngest son Cruz that if he played well and worked hard, they would stop at McDonald’s on the way home.
