Ah, the Beckhams — a family that practically redefined “picture-perfect.” But lately? It’s giving royal family meets reality show — and younger brother Cruz Beckham is officially stepping into the group chat.

In a move that melted hearts and stirred headlines, 19-year-old Cruz took to Instagram to send love to his parents, Victoria and David Beckham, amid a growing (and very public) rift with his older brother Brooklyn. And yes — it’s the same Brooklyn who recently declared undying loyalty to his wife, actress and billionaire heiress Nicola Peltz.

Let’s rewind.

Brooklyn, 25, posted a romantic video of himself and Nicola cruising through palm-lined California streets on a motorcycle. Caption? A full-throttle declaration:
“My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you’re the most amazing person I know.”

Nicola echoed the sentiment with her own repost:
“I’ve always got you baby.”

But not everyone was swooning. Fans weren’t here for the “us vs. them” energy — especially given Brooklyn and Nicola’s noticeable absence from family events, including David Beckham’s 50th birthday bash earlier this month. Many criticized the couple for fueling division rather than connection, calling the posts tone-deaf and — in one fan’s words — “immature.”

That’s where Cruz comes in.

In a heartfelt post that felt equal parts olive branch and mic drop, Cruz wrote:
“I love my family, I love you guys more than anything, mum and dad you gave us life and cared for us no matter what, I cannot tell you how blessed we all are to have you in our lives x.”

Subtle, but powerful. And the cherry on top? The photo included Brooklyn — an unspoken reminder that, despite the drama, he’s still family.

The timing couldn’t be more symbolic. Just days prior, David and Victoria made a united appearance at the TIME100 Impact Dinner in New York, showcasing a family photo from Victoria’s 50th birthday — one that included Brooklyn and Nicola. It was a quiet but intentional move to show there’s still love under the luxury.

Still, Brooklyn and Nicola continue to share defiant couple content, with some fans calling it romantic, and others, well… not so much. The online backlash included comments like:

• “Love should connect, not divide.”

• “You pair need to grow up.”

• “Life’s too short. Family matters.”

No word yet from Brooklyn on Cruz’s message, but in a family as famous — and fashion-forward — as this one, even silence speaks volumes.
