Victoria Beckham has given a rare insight into her feelings about estranged son Brooklyn with a telling social media move.
The former Spice Girl, 51, and husband David, 50, are currently locked in a bitter feud with their eldest son, 26, and his heiress wife Nicola Peltz, 30, amid claims he has become increasingly estranged from the family after failing to attend any of his father 50th birthday celebrations in May.
Yet Victoria has proved she is still keeping tabs on her eldest son's moves by 'liking' several of his social media facts.
Notably, in the three-weeks spanning July 5 and July 26 - she liked every single one of his posts that didn't feature Nicola.
All posts in which he was seen with his wife, were not acknowledged by Victoria. It is possible that these posts - four out of the 16 - were simply not seen by her.
Victoria has not liked any of Nicola's posts in the same time period. Nor have the Lola actress and Brooklyn liked any of Victoria's.
Brooklyn did, however, open up about the only thing he and wife Nicola argue over amid the ongoing feud with his famous family.
Despite their troubles, the hunk suggested the couple, who wed in 2023, are still very much in the honeymoon stage and only disagree over the thermostat.
He told GQ: 'By the way, that's the only argument me and my wife have, the temperature in the room. She loves it'.
'She runs cold, so she always wants it all hot all the time. I always run hot, and I like to have it a little bit colder, so we meet in the middle.'
In the cookery clip Brooklyn paid a sweet tribute to late Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away last week aged 76, by adding the singer's banger No More Tears as the backing track to the video.
He geared up to prepare his 'favourite' dish, a fish and chip sandwich, as he proceeded to show the steps of his recipe.
'My favourite thing to make x fish and chip sandwich with of course @cloud23,' he captioned.
It comes after Victoria and David narrowly avoided an awkward run-in with estranged son and daughter-in-law in sun-soaked St Tropez last week.
Brooklyn has been flexing the Peltz's wealth during a St Tropez getaway with his in-laws - dwarfing his family's current getaway in the same location.
The eldest Beckham son spent the week on a £85million superyacht called Project X, which is chartered for £1.2million per week.
The 260ft luxury vessel was rented by Nicola's billionaire parents, who holidayed with the couple and the rest of the Peltz clan.
Just two days after the family jetted back to the U.S. after their European getaway, Brooklyn's parents arrived in the same dock on their £16million yacht, Seven.
David, 50 and Victoria, 51, bought their 130ft boat in 2022, after previously buying a smaller vessel by the same name the year before.
Speaking about the financial rivalry, a source told The Sun: 'Brooklyn's yacht dwarfs the one owned by David and Victoria. It's a financial flex.
'Their relationship is beyond soured now but Brooklyn has really landed on his feet. Nicola and her parents, Nelson and Claudia, are his family now. And he's clearly enjoying the spoils.'
Project X boasts a master suite, a VIP cabin, five double rooms as well as two twin cabins, while being able to hold a crew of 28 to run the boat.
Special features include a huge glass-sided swimming pool, a wellness suite, a spa and a jaw-dropping 360-degree sundeck.
Meanwhile, the Beckham's smaller yacht has five cabins in comparison, sleeping ten people and seven crew members.
Their boat features a spa bath on the upper deck, as well as 65ft garage, plenty of water toys and a jet ski to keep the family entertained.
Seven is named after David's iconic football shirt number as well as their daughter Harper's middle name.
They previously owned a £5million boat but upgraded it less than a year later.
David and Victoria are away with their other three children, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20 and Harper, 14.

They were joined on the lavish getaway by the rest of their children; Harper, 14, and Romeo, 22, while youngest son Cruz, 20, soaked up the sun elsewhere in St Tropez with girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 30.
Romeo and Harper were first of the family to be spotted in St Tropez on Thursday, just 48-hours after Brooklyn met with godfather Elton John, who was also holidaying in the South Of France, for lunch where the singer 'attempted to end ongoing family feud'.
It was also revealed that Brooklyn and Nicola's Instagram accounts no longer follow his younger brothers in the latest family drama.
Sir Elton, who has been friends with the Beckhams for three decades, reportedly took the opportunity to 'say his piece' about the feud as he wined and dined the young couple.
According to The Sun, Sir Elton 'briefly' spoke about the family's feud in the hope Brooklyn would patch things up with his parents, and footage of the outing shared on social media showed the pair shaking hands.
Speaking about Elton's attempts to play peacekeeper in the row, a source said: 'Elton is the showbiz equivalent of Switzerland. He's utterly neutral in this row.
'Elton of old may have relished in taking sides - in this case his young godson, Brooklyn - but two years off his 80th birthday, he's a man who has seen and done it all. He just wants everyone to be happy.
'There is no side-taking as such; he simply adores his godson, and really has a laugh with Nicola who he thinks has a great sense of humour. He wants to look after them in his role as 'spiritual adviser' as a godfather, it's a role he takes seriously.
The family arrived in the swanky south of France for their annual summer break on £16M yacht, while their eldest son holidayed on his billionaire father-in-law's boat nearby (pictured)
'Elton and David think the situation is terribly sad, and has gently suggested to all involved that life is short - to patch things up.'
The source added Elton is 'adamant he doesn't want to stick his nose in' the feud, he just simply 'wants peace'.
Sir Elton is also said to have generously picked up the entire bill, after dining on the restaurant's signature lobster linguine which comes in at an eye-watering £190.
David affectionately calls the musician 'Uncle Elton' after becoming friends in his football heyday.
Sir Elton was due to perform at the Beckhams wedding in 1999 before suffering a heart attack that prevented him from playing. He later sang at one of the children's christenings.
Meanwhile, Victoria once disclosed that it was Elton who inspired her to say goodbye to the Spice Girls, penning an emotional letter to her older self where she confessed that watching her friend perform made her realise that her true calling lay beyond singing.
