Brooklyn Beckham 'blindsided' as row takes turn after 'clear sign' of no return
The Beckham family feud appears to have worsened, with Romeo and Cruz reportedly blocking their older brother Brooklyn on social media, and it's a move insiders are calling the 'Gen Z version of World War Three".
Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, are said to be 'blindsided' by the fallout, which suggests a deepening rift between the couple and Brooklyn's family.
'Blocking or unfollowing someone on Instagram is like the Gen Z version of World War Three,' a source told The Sun. 'It's a sad new low.'
According to insiders, Brooklyn has become increasingly distant, not only from parents David and Victoria but also from his siblings. 'Even when the family have reached out to Brooklyn they have been ignored,' the source added. 'He's not had contact for months and it feels clear to them that he doesn't want to make amends.'
Initially, it was reported that Brooklyn and Nicola had unfollowed Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, but a friend of Brooklyn's said that wasn't the case. 'Brooklyn had no idea until he read about it online. It's possible Romeo and Cruz blocked them, which would make it appear as him no longer following the brothers.'
Shortly after news of the snub broke, Romeo shared Justin Bieber 's Walking Away on his Instagram Stories, captioning it: 'Yup.'
Meanwhile, Brooklyn had posted a photo with Nicola and their sister Harper for her birthday, prompting speculation it was an olive branch to the family, a claim denied by a friend: 'There is too much water under the bridge.'
Brooklyn's strained relationship with his parents has played out publicly. He skipped David's 50th birthday and didn't acknowledge Victoria on Mother's Day.
Despite visiting London in May for a Moncler campaign, Brooklyn didn't contact his family, even though he was just minutes from their Holland Park home. 'It felt like a low blow,' said one source.
The feud reportedly has roots in a long-standing issue involving Romeo's ex-girlfriend Kim Turnbull.
There were rumours of past romantic links between her and Brooklyn, which all parties have denied. Kim recently addressed the speculation: 'I have never been romantically involved in any capacity at any point with the person in question.'
The emotional toll is clear. 'It's all been incredibly painful,' said a family source. 'David and Victoria worship the ground Brooklyn walks on and will always be there for him.'

I sleep in a separate bedroom to my boyfriend. It doesn't mean the romance has disappeared
Does Brian Cox have the perfect marital set-up? Brian Cox the actor, I mean, not Brian Cox the physicist. In a recent interview, the former discussed his sleeping arrangements with his wife. The pair have separate homes in North London, a nine-minute walk apart, and they 'visit' one another from time to time but sleep entirely separately, as they do in their other homes, in Brooklyn and upstate New York. Brian Cox the physicist may have this arrangement with his wife, too (so he can look up at the stars at night?), but we can't know that for sure because he hasn't recently discussed this intimate subject in a newspaper interview. Granted, few people in this country can afford one property in chi-chi Primrose Hill, where Cox and his wife have their homes, let alone two. But it doesn't sound a bad arrangement, does it? It struck a chord with me, because I've been dating a man for some time now and we sleep in separate bedrooms. He also has a flat in North London, as it happens, and I sleep in the spare room whenever I stay there. But it can't just be a peculiarly North London habit, this sleeping apart thing, because we also do it when he comes to see me in south-east London. Neither of us are great sleepers. He snores (a tiny bit, but let's keep that between us), and also our body clocks are different. My circadian rhythms aren't unlike those of a medieval peasant – at this time of year, I fade as it gets dark but wake early with the light. He goes to bed sometime after midnight and wakes later. It's simply easier and more conducive to both of us actually sleeping to spend the night apart. We've tried the same bedroom a handful of times, and at one stage he invested in a roll of a something called Hostage Tape (who came up with that brand name?), a thick, black, sticky tape plastered over the mouth in an effort to prevent the odd snore escaping. But still we're light sleepers, prone to waking up at the slightest movement, so different rooms it is. Especially if I have Dennis, my terrier, with me, because his determination to be larking about in the park by 6am only complicates matters. Dennis would also have made a good medieval peasant. Towards the start of our relationship, the romantic in me bridled at this. Hardly love's young dream to steal off to separate bedrooms like Victorians. Is this what I'd held out so long for, saying goodnight and closing my bedroom door to sleep alone? Except neither of us is that young, and we're both fortunate to have spare rooms, so why not? Practically it simply makes sense. More laundry, yes, but at least we don't wake in the morning wanting to murder one another. None of that passive aggressive 'You snored terribly last night.' 'You should have kicked me,' previous boyfriends have cried, and I've muttered bitterly that I did but it made little difference given that the nighttime orchestra started up again seconds later. In the interests of fairness, I'd like to point out that women snore too (or so I'm told), and my friend Annie and her husband sleep in separate bedrooms now because she can also put on quite the symphony at 3am. How common is separate bedrooms? And I don't mean common like a Nicky Haslam tea towel (for once). How typical is it? Can one chart the timeline of a relationship according to sleep patterns – from amorous 20-somethings entwined like strands of spaghetti, to Sybil and Basil Fawlty sexlessly undressing and getting into their single beds, or beds in other rooms entirely? Or different homes, in Cox's case. This idea, that 'separate' means 'sexless', was why I was saddened by the practice at first. Until recently, I believed one must go through the proper stages, sleeping happily beside one another, finding their hand in the night, before the Fawlty decline sets in down the line. But is this true, these days? When I was small and we lived in West Sussex, we often visited the nearby Weald and Downland Museum. Medieval loos are always quite a gripping subject for a child, but I also vividly remember being transfixed by the grotesque idea of an entire family (plus livestock) bedding down in the same room. Nowadays, happily, we've evolved a bit, so the chickens and the pigs can go outside, and human beings can largely have their own rooms. Progress, I think we call that. So why should couples be the only ones who have to stick together, sweating and farting in close proximity (come on, everyone does it), just as they did in the Dark Ages? Sleeping alone was deemed much more sanitary in the 19th century. In 1861, the American physician William Whitte Hall published a book called Sleep: Or, the Hygiene of the Night. In it, he offered the startling advice that each sleeper 'should have a single bed in a large, clean, light room, so as to pass all the hours of sleep in a pure, fresh air, and that those who fail in this, will in the end fail in health and strength of limb and brain, and will die while yet their days are not all told'. In the early 20th century, according to various historians, society started viewing couples sleeping separately as a sign of a waning marriage. Couples were expected to be more united. According to Marie Stopes, the author and women's rights campaigner, the twin-bed arrangement was 'an invention of the Devil, jealous of married bliss'. In 1961, an organisation called the Bedding Guild surveyed 3,608 women and concluded that 'the double bed is symbolic of marital bliss and closeness. It is also an object of pride and prestige. Most women regard it as a part of a traditional marriage'. Which is exactly the sort of thing you might expect the Bedding Guild to say, and yet so it has remained. A few months ago, I went away with a friend who slept badly every night because she said she found it hard to sleep without her husband beside her. Part of me thought, 'Get a grip'; another part of me thought, 'I'd like that.' But one of the things I've (quite slowly) learnt about relationships is that I can't necessarily have absolutely everything I want. Compromise, in other words. Some couples may sleep terrifically beside one another; others may not. But I wonder how many are reluctant to admit this publicly because it feels like an admission of some sort about their relationship. A failing. I don't mind saying that I'm in Cox's camp, and potentially stronger in limb and brain as a result. On the other hand, if anyone has any tips regarding young terriers snuffling about and causing a disturbance several times a night, I'm all ears.

Snezana Wood's daughter Eve breaks down in heartbreaking viral video as she speaks about her biological dad for the first time: 'He wanted to see my mum suffer'
Snezana Wood 's daughter Eve has opened up about her biological father in a rare and deeply personal public moment that has since gone viral. The 19-year-old daughter of the former Bachelor star broke down in tears during an interview with Dose of Society, which was shared to the popular Instagram page's 1.7 million followers on Friday. In the raw and unfiltered video, Eve was asked: 'What is the most painful thing anyone has ever said to you?' Her candid response left viewers stunned: 'Probably that I don't deserve the life I'm living.' Wiping away tears, the Melbourne-based teen explained it was her biological dad who made the comment. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'I don't know why he said that to me. I grew up just with my mum,' she continued. 'She raised me to be the woman I am today. He wanted to see my mum suffer. And I think when he saw that my mum had built a life for both of us, it was just more of a reaction.' Eve revealed she hasn't seen her biological father in eight years and that he was largely absent from her childhood. 'He was never around when I was little, so it was just my mum and I. I was very close to my mum's side, everyone was there to support me, but I think he just did some things a while back that ended him in places he shouldn't have been in. He just got involved with the wrong people,' she said. The heartfelt clip quickly racked up hundreds of thousands of views and comments, with fans flooding the comments section with support and admiration for Eve's strength. When asked what she would say to her mum today, Eve fought back tears again. 'How proud I am of her,' she replied. 'She's done a lot. She sacrificed a lot. She was working nine to five, and after that going to uni. 'She ended up getting her bachelor's in molecular genetics and biology. Seeing how strong she is, how much strength she's got to keep going through all of this - it makes me proud to be my mother's daughter.' Eve, who has grown up largely in the spotlight after Snezana found love with Sam Wood on The Bachelor in 2015, later commented under the clip, offering further insight into how hard it was to speak so vulnerably on camera. 'Thank you so much for letting me share my story,' she wrote. 'My friends, family, and people around me know I've never really taken things too seriously, especially growing up in the public eye. 'At such a young age, I think I learned to protect myself by just laughing things off because it was easier than actually addressing them. 'But the question really caught me off guard. It had been such a long time since I'd been that honest with myself, and I didn't expect to get that emotional. 'I was nervous about how this would be received, especially being vulnerable on social media, knowing how harsh it can be. But the kindness and messages I've received have meant more than I can explain.' Eve was just nine years old when her mum Snezana appeared on season three of The Bachelor, where she met and eventually married fitness entrepreneur Sam Wood. The couple, who tied the knot in 2018, now share three daughters together - Willow, Charlie and Harper - with Sam embracing a father role to Eve from the start. The unlikely sighting comes just weeks after the model revealed she has split with boyfriend Ben Silvagni. Less than one year after going public with their romance, it appears the couple have now parted ways, following a very telling Instagram post from Eve. Eve took to the social media platform to share a promo 'questionnaire' from camera company 35mm Co. The image showed Eve as a '35mm Co muse' providing answers to a series of questions. Eve seemingly put paid to her romance with Ben with just two simple words. Answering the question about her 'relationship status' with 'happily single.' Also tellingly, both Eve and Ben have unfollowed each other on Instagram and apparently scrubbed all evidence of their romance from their respective pages. However, Snezana and her husband Sam Wood are still following their daughter's former flame. While there has been no other word from Eve or Ben about the split, it could be a case of tyranny of distance. Just one month after they confirmed their relationship, Eve revealed that she had moved to New York to study fashion. The teenager is currently studying at the Parsons School of Design.

Charlotte Tilbury warns against beauty dupes - 'they steal from your skincare'
Charlotte Tilbury has shared her thoughts on the various beauty dupes of her iconic products and slams the alternatives for "duping the consumer" and "steal[ing] from your skincare" Charlotte Tilbury spoke candidly about the rise of beauty dupes of the products from her celebrity-approved brand, Charlotte Tilbury Beauty. The beauty CEO took to the Shameless Podcast to air her true thoughts about the alternatives, which are often cheaper that the original product. "When I look at some of the dupes out there, I get really upset," she said. "As a creative, I want to empower the consumer." The 52-year-old, who's brand is loved by Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and Jennifer Lopez, said that when she's examined the products with her "expert eye and tested with scientists," she claims the dupes "will dehydrate your skin." "They do everything I didn't dream for them to do. Whether I wanted it to smooth [the skin] or not sit in any lines or pores or dehydrate your skin or steal from your skincare that you had on beforehand," she expressed. "That for me was like no, that's not what I want to do." Charlotte doubled down, explaining that she owns the formulas, intellectual property and technology of her brands' formulas, therefore, "duping is basically trying to sell people something that it doesn't do, they're duping the consumer." However, not all listeners of the podcast were on side with Charlotte. Some took to the comments to share their views, with one writing: "Maybe she needs to realise the price with a struggling economy and a struggling society, that's why people buy dupes because they can afford them." For more stories like this subscribe to our weekly newsletter, The Weekly Gulp, for a curated roundup of trending stories, poignant interviews, and viral lifestyle picks from The Mirror's Audience U35 team delivered straight to your inbox. Another commented on the "eyewatering" price of Charlotte's products, adding: "Make it affordable then people won't make or buy dupes. Some of the prices are eye watering." A third typed: "Maybe she should get herself in tune with the budget of the average woman which clearly isn't her and make her products affordable then perhaps the dupes wouldn't be so popular." What's the deal with beauty dupes? Cosmetify beauty editor Maria Mukaranda tells The Mirror that due to the rising cost of living, we've entered "a phase where almost any product, no matter how iconic or expensive, is open to being 'duped'". The trend is unsurprisingly driven by Gen Z, who refuse to gatekeep their hidden gems and see "discovering a dupe as something to celebrate rather than keep to themselves." "Spending £40 on a foundation or £60 on a serum isn't realistic for many, so dupes give people the chance to try similar products without breaking the bank," she adds. But Maria explains that not all dupes are created equal. "A lower price doesn't always mean lower quality, but it can be a risk if the formula or ingredients haven't been properly tested. There are also concerns about overconsumption and the environmental impact of buying trend-led products just because they're cheap." 'It's also worth noting that not every dupe is a direct copy. There are plenty of well-formulated alternatives on the market that don't imitate packaging or branding, but still offer similar shades or skincare benefits at a more affordable price. These kinds of dupes can be a smart way to get the results you want without compromising on cost or quality.' Help us improve our content by completing the survey below. We'd love to hear from you!
