Cruz Beckham Appears to Take Another Swipe at Estranged Brother Brooklyn Beckham in New Cooking Video

Cruz Beckham’s latest social media post is being interpreted as another public sign of ongoing family tension.

The 21-year-old, known for music rather than cooking, shared a short video of himself preparing a simple dish. The clip features quick edits and a casual, joking tone. The format closely mirrors the cooking content regularly posted by Brooklyn Beckham.

Cruz captioned the video with a joking line, “wanna see the best cooking video ever? don’t watch this then,” before presenting a dish he admitted “looks gross” but tastes “actually decent.” The format closely mirrors Brooklyn’s own food videos, which have received mixed feedback online.

Brooklyn has spent the past few years moving into food content through online series and social media clips. His videos have faced criticism, often focused on their production style and his lack of formal training. Against that background, Cruz using a similar format while undercutting it with humour is widely seen as deliberate mockery.

The Beckham family has been dealing with a public rift since early 2026, when Brooklyn Beckham accused his parents, David Beckham and Victoria Beckham, of controlling how he is portrayed publicly. Multiple reports indicate he has since distanced himself from both his parents and siblings.

Cruz has previously made indirect references to his brother, including dismissive replies to comments about career changes, which have also been interpreted as indirect criticism. At the same time, he has publicly shared birthday messages and expressed hope that their relationship can improve.

The video remains unclear in intent. It is playful enough to dismiss, but specific enough to raise questions. Rather than directly escalating the situation, it reflects how the family situation is playing out publicly through posts and comments that attract immediate scrutiny.

Whether intended as humour or something more intentional, the reaction highlights a wider change. What might once have been seen as typical sibling behaviour is now analysed more closely because of the strained relationship, with even casual posts sparking public discussion.
