David Beckham makes Victoria giggle singing with son Cruz as they reveal glimpse of holiday on £16 million superyacht
VICTORIA Beckham has shared an insight into her family's private getaway – and her husband David's singing abilities. David and Victoria, as well as sons Cruz and Romeo, are currently enjoying some downtime on board their £16million superyacht. 9 Cruz showed off his singing skills while relaxing on their yacht Credit: victoriabeckham/Instagram 9 David couldn't resist crooning along with his son as Victoria filmed it. Credit: victoriabeckham/Instagram 9 David has been making memories with sons Romeo and Cruz Credit: cruzbeckham/Instagram 9 David even shaved Romeo's head on the trip Credit: Instagram While out at sea, budding musician Cruz showed off his musical talents by picking up his acoustic guitar and performing a rendition of Something Stupid by Frank and Nancy Sinatra. But it was giving a little extra flair when his dear old dad decided to step in and be the youngster's version of Nancy. Victoria was heard stifling a giggle as David interjected in the song, and later posted the clip and writing: "With backup like this @Cruz Beckham… you're destined for great success! @David Beckham xx" The sweet moment comes as the family enjoy time away together – with eldest son Brooklyn continues to miss out. With a feud dividing the family, Brooklyn has distanced himself from the Beckham clan in favour of his wife Nicola Peltz, and her family. He even missed out on multiple celebrations to mark David's 50th birthday – snubbing a lavish bash, a father-son fishing trip and a calm retreat in Bordeaux. They've even started a 'boat war' by showing off their time on Nicola's family's £85million superyacht in Saint-Tropez that comparitively dwarfs the Beckhams' . Brooklyn and Nicola also renewed their wedding vows after three years of marriage – with the Beckhams not in attendance. At the end of May, Brooklyn shared a video of him and Nicola riding on his motorbike, captioning it: 'My whole world. I will love you forever. I always choose you baby.' They'll also be missing from Victoria's upcoming Netflix documentary. Inside Brooklyn Beckham's 'financial flex' in feud with dad David as his £85m superyacht dwarfs family's £16m vessel Even Romeo, the family's second eldest son, seems to have got involved, getting a pointed sounding tattoo as well as blocking his big bro on Instagram. But over recent weeks, it seems David and Victoria are both keen to bury the hatchet, making small but meaningful olive branches on social media to let their son know they're thinking of him. They're also making sure to spend time with the rest of their children – with David and Romeo even deciding to get matching buzzcuts for their time in the sun. 9 Brooklyn is continuing to stay away from his family on his wife's family's yacht 9 The luxury boat is valued at £16million Credit: cruzbeckham/Instagram 9 The family have been making the most of their time on the boat Credit: Instagram 9 The family have been fine dining at truffle restaurants Credit: davidbeckham/Instagram
