As Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz consider surrogacy or adoption, how Victoria and David are hitting back… with Project Cruz

Beckham’s youngest child, Cruz, has a fun-loving and ambitious spirit, and it seems like nothing can stop the party, not even a painful family feud.

On Thursday night, 250 posters featuring a dazzling display of crotches on Navy ‘budgie smugglers’ were plastered across London.

These were accompanied by slogans bordering on obscene.

‘Cruz Beckham is coming, are you coming?’ someone shouted.

As always with the Beckhams, there was something to sell; in this case, the aspiring singer’s upcoming single, For Your Love, out this Friday.

To ensure this, the entire family was called into service, including grandparents and cousins.

There’s no time to cry over Beckham’s oldest, Brooklyn, and his extraordinary public claim that he doesn’t want to reconcile with parents David, 50, and Victoria, 51.

Instead, now it’s all about the 20-year-old Cruz and helping him launch his career.

Brooklyn Beckham and wife Nicola Peltz are said to be considering adoption or surrogacy

Cruz was even strumming his guitar on Instagram this week as former Spice Girl Victoria sang around the dinner table, bringing Mel C, Emma Bunton and Geri Halliwell along.

There was nothing she could do that would be more impactful than reuniting the Spice Girls, the most successful female group in pop history, in the service of her mustachioed neophyte son.

Middle son Romeo, 23, commented in the caption: ‘Looks like they’ve done something like this before,’ and Cruz replied: ‘They sound like Little Mix, don’t they?’

Victoria responded immediately: ‘I love you all.’

Here the Beckhams are at it again. All of this reminds you of Brooklyn’s explosive statement two weeks ago, where he complained that ‘Brand Beckham should be first’ and that ‘family love’ should be determined by ‘how much you post on social media’.

Amid rumors that he and Nicola may be about to adopt, he may now be feeling vindicated by the way his family has chosen to move forward.

His father-in-law, Nelson Peltz, this week shared his advice to his family amid the current outrage: ‘Stay away from the press.’

What a contrast to the Beckhams. One online commentator observed: ‘As Brooklyn says, it’s all for the publicity and money making machine and this proves it once again.’

Cruz is said to be his father’s son, as he appears to share the anger David complains he inherited from his father Ted, a retired gasfitter from East London.

Another said:'[Victoria] it just needs to manage its social media footprint and increase its legitimacy for the new generation. What Brooklyn said is true. ‘The family is obsessed with highlighting themselves in the media.’

Naturally, the Beckhams don’t see it that way. So how do they feel?

Earlier this week a family friend told me that Victoria was already ‘back’ and was actually ‘in a very positive mood’; I had a hard time appreciating this, but judging by all his social media activity it may be true.

‘They have the feeling that people are on their side and that puts them at ease,’ the friend said.

‘Most people agree that Brooklyn is cruel, they think so. Most people are on Team Beckham, not Team Brooklyn. Victoria values ​​opinions.’

He also cares deeply about being successful, and it’s strange but true that his personal crises are good for business. Her long-forgotten solo single, Not Such An Innocent Girl, briefly rose to No. 1 following the Brooklyn reveal.

The make-up brand has also experienced a huge increase in sales, particularly its foundation, which sells for an eye-watering £104.

Meanwhile, the Alina Jeans she wore in the Netflix documentary are flying off the shelves, especially in the USA.

On Thursday night, 250 posters featuring a dazzling display of crotches on Navy ‘budgie smugglers’ were plastered across London.

Not that it’s been an easy time. Lady Beckham will have needed all her reserves of composure to cope with the outburst following Brooklyn’s January 19 Instagram outburst, in which she said she was “humiliated” after he “danced” on her “inappropriately” at his wedding to Nicola Peltz in 2022.

And David will be very upset when he finds out his son got inked over his ‘Dad’ arm tattoo.

This isn’t the only tattoo that needs to be replaced or removed, and it looks like Brooklyn will try to purge his family from his body; This is quite a difficult task when you have over 100 tattoos.

But for sensitive Brooklyn, this step was necessary. “There is so much hurt and pain on her part that it would be unrealistic to pay such tribute to her body,” a source says.

The Brooklyn side’s view is that this was not intended to be a public insult. But how could his family’s situation be otherwise?

However, things are not as dire as you think.

It’s easy to forget that the Beckham family has known and grasped the depth of this separation for months; yet the world has only confirmed this for a few weeks.

Brooklyn sent a ‘cease and desist’ letter to the Beckhams’ lawyer last July, demanding no contact whatsoever, including on social media.

It’s easy to forget that the Beckham family has known and grasped the depth of this separation for months; yet the world has only confirmed this for a few weeks.

This was revealed only last month in my Friday column in this newspaper. However, he is said to still be upset.

Sources say the last few weeks have been very difficult for Victoria’s parents, especially Tony and Jackie.

Last month, it was revealed that although Brooklyn had cut off contact with his immediate family, he still texted his grandparents (Jackie, Tony and David’s parents, Ted and Sandra) on occasions like Christmas and birthdays.

But it may now emerge that he is ‘out of contact’ with Tony and Jackie, and they fear the family feud may never be resolved.

They believe she dazzled her in-laws, the Peltzes, and ‘bought’ her with their wealth.

My source says: ‘They are devastated and what little contact they had had ceased before he made the announcement. It looks like that now.

‘Apparently the Peltzes wouldn’t have done this if they didn’t have money, but Brooklyn jumped from a pot of gold into a pool of gold.’

His grandparents noted some American language in the 1,200-word statement and feared Brooklyn might have been encouraged by American therapists to blame his parents for his anxiety problems.

Cruz, who nurtures his passion for music with his girlfriend, music producer Jackie Apostel (30), puts the Beckham family in the spotlight once again as he begins his career.

They note that before he met and married Nicola, he always seemed happy to be photographed and attend family events.

But Brooklyn’s friends say talk of therapy is ‘ridiculous’ and the idea that he was ‘bought’ by the Peltzes is completely false and insulting.

Brooklyn and Nicola’s case is that their parents have hurt them deeply, both by their refusal to accept the marriage and by what has been described as ‘controlling’ behavior towards the young couple over a long period of time.

It may be revealed that Brooklyn felt that some aspects of his upbringing were ‘not ideal’ and that he was not helped with some elements of his life as a young man, and as a result fell victim to anxiety.

As he said in his statement, remaining ‘no contact’ brought him peace.

As for what’s next for him and Nicola, there’s talk of adoption and surrogacy, although there’s no news to share yet.

Meanwhile, Brooklyn dropped a big hint in a statement last month: ‘All we want is [is] Peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.’

The Beckhams will carry on as if nothing happened, except for Brooklyn. Last week, there was another one of the famous ‘queuing’ photos in Paris to celebrate Victoria being given a national honour, featuring her daughters Harper and Cruz, as well as Romeo’s girlfriends.

And of course, Cruz, who nurtures his passion for music with his girlfriend, music producer Jackie Apostel (30), brings the Beckham family to the fore as he begins his career.

A. The source says: ‘They’re all focused on Cruz right now with his tour and his girlfriend. It has now become the center of all things family for the Beckhams.

‘Cruz’s girlfriend models Victoria Beckham’s underwear, and Cruz’s cousin Libby is also into his band, and she talks about her grandfather Tony being in a band. ‘The waters closed over the crater.’

We have no doubt that we will get to know him better as his success increases. He’s nothing like Brooklyn, a shy and sweet young man.

Cruz is a sparkling and fun party boy. David is also his father’s son and appears to share the anger David says he inherited from his father Ted, a retired gas fitter from East London.

This was evidenced in December when Cruz angrily declared that he too had ‘woke up blocked’, as did his parents, following reports suggesting they had blocked Brooklyn and not the other way around before Christmas.

‘He’s a ‘talk first, think later’ kind of person,’ says a source.

An interesting process is now beginning for the family. Although the connection with Brooklyn seems to have been completely severed, the brand continues on its profitable path.
