Cruz Beckham shares heartwarming snaps with girlfriend Jackie Apostel and sister Harper amid ongoing family feud with brother Brooklyn
Cruz Beckham looked in good spirits as he shared a series of snaps with girlfriend Jackie Apostel and his family and friends.
The 20-year-old put on an animated display as he posed alongside Jackie, 29, in a bathroom selfie.
Cruz sported a cream jumper and a whirt shirt while Jackie cut a trendy figure in a grey blazer with a white shirt and yellow tie.
In another shot, Cruz posed alongside his younger sister Harper, 13, in a large outdoor area with a patio.
Harper let her blonde locks fall loose down her shoulders and sported a purple jumper.
The aspiring singer also shared a photo of himself in a bathtub as he playfully sipped on a drink while wearing a pair of sunglasses.
The post comes amid an ongoing feud with Cruz's older brother Brooklyn, his wife Nicola Peltz, and the rest of the family.
David and Victoria are understood to be devastated following a fall-out with their eldest, who lives in the United States with his wife and her wealthy family.
Brooklyn was back in London this week to shoot a campaign for the fashion company Moncler but opted to stay in a hotel rather than in the Beckham's family home in Holland Park which was close by.
He also didn't meet his father David who was just half a mile away attending the Chelsea Flower Show.
Taking to Instagram on Monday, Victoria, 51, appeared to offer an olive branch by sharing a group photo of their four children alongside her father, Tony Adams - who celebrated his birthday over the weekend, with the accompanying message: 'We both love you all so much!'
The undated photo also features Victoria's mother Jackie, flanked by Brooklyn and his siblings Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13.
David is allegedly 'desperate to make amends with his son as he fears history is repeating itself' following his bitter fall out with his father Ted in 2005.
In the latest evidence of this, David included Brooklyn in a post about Mother's Day in the U.S. as he dedicated a post to the mother of his children, Victoria.
Over the weekend, David reached out to his son on social media as rumours of their family feud continue to bubble.
A sweet black and white photo showed Victoria cuddled up with her four kids, soon after welcoming their daughter Harper.
Alongside the photo, David wrote: 'Happy Mother's Day to the best mommy. To all our friends in the U.S. Happy Mother's Day.'
Meanwhile, Victoria shared a photograph of a beautiful bouquet of flowers she had been sent by Cruz and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 29.
While David and his dad Ted, 77, now share a close-knit relationship, the father-son duo were once not even on speaking terms.
After Ted suffered a near-death health scare in 2007, it sparked the pair to make amends and get back in touch - and they have been close ever since.
And now David is reportedly worried 'history is repeating itself' amid his rift with his and Victoria's eldest son Brooklyn.
A close friend of David reportedly told The Sun: 'David and the family genuinely fear Brooklyn could be lost to them forever.
'The word "lost", here, is especially poignant as it was the exact sentiment used when David fell out with his dad.
'Ted believed his son would never speak to him again, and he was heartbroken. It was an extremely tense few years, and devastated the whole family.'
The Mail's Katie Hind revealed that Brooklyn has ditched his old pals in the UK and has followed Nicola's lead when it comes to mixing in new LA circles.
It comes following a slew of lavish celebrations to honour David's 50th birthday, all of which were not attended by his son Brooklyn and his wife.
David hosted an early birthday party in Miami in April, as well as a fishing trip with his sons in Scotland, an intimate dinner at his Cotswolds mansion, a trip to France for a vineyard tour and finally a big bash in London to round off the week.
The couple's absence at the events is said to have cemented the divide between them, with The Mail revealing that Romeo's girlfriend Kim Turnbull has been made the 'scapegoat' in the feud.
A Mail Plus report also revealed Victoria's heartbroken verdict on the row, claiming that she feels 'betrayed' by Brooklyn and thinks Nicola is a viper. Read the full story here.
A source said: 'Victoria is fairly open among her close friends about what a viper Nicola is and how she feels betrayed by Brooklyn, so the mask has fully dropped.'
The Beckhams have been hit by fears they won't be able to heal their rift with Brooklyn as Victoria has been having 'sleepless nights' over the feud.
The fashion designer and her husband David are said to have been left heartbroken at the distance that has grown between them and their eldest son.
A source told The Sun: 'This is Victoria's worst nightmare. The thought of any of her children falling out gives her sleepless nights.
'It's been difficult with Brooklyn since he met Nicola, and there's no denying that there was a family fallout over their wedding.
'But Victoria and David have worked hard to get things back on track, so this is a real blow.
Brooklyn has reportedly got closer to Nicola's family amid an ongoing rift with his parents (pictured with Nicola's billionaire father Nelson)
The Beckham family have been at the centre of a feud that has pitted Brooklyn and his wife Nicola on one side, and the rest of the family on the other (pictured in 2023)
Victoria's social media was filled with photographs from various parties held to celebrate David's 50th birthday this month, including a bash at their Cotswolds home.
The fun-filled celebrations culminated with a massive party held at London's esteemed Michelin-star restaurant Core on Saturday night.
It was claimed Brooklyn and Nicola pulled out of attending the Met Gala with the intention of attending David's birthday party, but were no shows at both events.
Brooklyn was reportedly planning to attend, but felt too uncomfortable to come after he felt Nicola was being blamed for the rift with his family.
Claims that Brooklyn and Nicola were rebuffed when they asked David and Victoria to celebrate David's birthday privately were also said to be untrue.
Sources close to Nicola told TMZ they wanted 'to get together privately' to avoid Romeo's girlfriend Kim as the couple are said to 'have a problem' with her.
Following the birthday party snub, it was revealed Brooklyn also declined an invitation by his father to join him and his brothers on a 'boys' fishing trip to celebrate his 50th.
The Mail revealed David invited Brooklyn on a short break six months ago when he began planning, yet his son failed to go despite arriving in the UK the day he went with Romeo and Cruz.
Brooklyn was a noticeable no-show at the footballer's 50th birthday celebrations earlier this month
Sources have suggested that Brooklyn's decision was influenced by his wife.
'Brooklyn was asked to join them ages ago,' one claimed.
'Then he came to London in time but he didn't go. Once again David made the best of things and had a great time with Cruz and Romeo.'
David still offered an olive branch to his son as he shared snaps from the trip, as he captioned one of his posts: 'You were missed @brooklynbeckham.'
The Mail revealed Romeo's girlfriend Kim is being made the 'scapegoat' in the feud between Brooklyn and David - with Nicola 'at the centre' of the rift.
Kim and Brooklyn were undeniably close for a brief period – as photographs of them together in 2016 show - but suggestions that they were ever an item are wide of the mark, according to well-informed sources who spoke to The Mail.
In fact, younger brother Cruz, personally shut down the gossip recently when he responded to an Instagram post showing a picture of Romeo and Kim together.
In a now-deleted message, one user commented: 'It's appropriate to date your brother's ex too? Cool.'
Cruz replied: 'Brooklyn and Kim never dated.'
One friend told the Mail's Katie Hind: 'This is nothing to do with Kim and is all about Nicola.
As Brooklyn's relationship with his in-laws get stronger, it appears his once un-breakable bond with his parents have become strained (last time Brooklyn and Nicola were pictured with the Beckham clan)
'All David and Victoria want is their son back – and they will be there to welcome him any time.'
Family friends claim Brooklyn's wife has a pattern of 'starting an argument' before family events and then preventing her husband from attending.
Some believe that friends of Nicola have been behind the briefings about Kim being the cause of Brooklyn's rift with his family, some of which went so far to claim that he had told them he refused to come to any event at which Kim was present.
A source close to the family told MailOnline: 'Brooklyn was close to Kim because she was dating Rocco and they all hung out in a tightknit friendship group. But that was years ago. Brooklyn and Kim were close, but there was never any romance.
'It seems Nicola doesn't like Brooklyn spending any time with the Beckhams full stop and is using his previous closeness to Kim and her getting in with the family as a reason to not be around them.
'She denies it, but Nicola has been controlling him since the wedding. The family - including the brothers - have had enough of it.
'This is the narrative that's been put out to other news outlets, that Romeo is dating his brother's ex-girlfriend - and that's really weird, so that's why they wouldn't want to be around the family when she is there.
'But none of this is true. And it's really upset Romeo and his parents because Kim is seemingly being used by Nicola as a reason to start the rift. Romeo is furious at the suggestion that he would bring an ex-girlfriend of Brooklyn into the family when there never was any romance.'

The 1% Club eliminates 15 players on difficult letters question – but are you smarter and can answer in under 30 secs?
THE 1% Club eliminated 15 players on a difficult letter question - but are you smarter and could you have solved it in 30 seconds? Hosted by Lee Mack, contestants put their logic and common sense to the test in the hit ITV quiz. 3 3 Lee was on top form on the ITV favourite in which he is tasked with finding who is the brainiest of his 100 audience members. Every week, fans see the players whittled down as they fail to advance past the increasingly difficult questions. This time around was no different, as 15 people failed to correctly work out the 70% puzzle. Reading the question to the audience, Lee asked: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. "Is a sentence that uses every letter in the alphabet but which letter appears the most?" Lee then gave the contestants the choice of A, E, I or O. And as the thirty seconds counted down he joked: "The foxes around my way are very cocky. "They knock on the door to remind me to put the bins out - I'm joking, my wife puts the bins out." Once 30 seconds was up, it was revealed 15 people had given the wrong answer and were eliminated. The correct answer was O, as it was explained: "Many people think it's E as it's the most commonly used letter in the alphabet. The 1% Club knocks out 25 players on 'easy' picture question - can you get it? "But it is in fact O which appears four times in the sentence." Since debuting three years ago, the game show is well-known for its tricky puzzles. A previous episode saw a whopping 30 people wiped out on a smiley face brainteaser. The 1% Club's Most Difficult Questions The 1% Club sees 100 contestants try and make it to the 1% question and be in with a chance to win a share of the jackpot. Here are just some of the show's most difficult teasers. Players had to compare and contrast three images of butterflies then explain which of the butterflies were exactly the same on both sides. Find the image and answer here. Players were shown groups of six symbols then asked which were in the same order whether you read them from left to right or right to left. Find the image and answer here. Players were asked how many different combinations were there of displaying four digits on one hand. Find the answer here. Peter had recently found his old diary that he'd written in secret code but he couldn't remember how to decipher what he wrote. Players were asked to crack the code and find out what the bold word was. WH89 I GR1W UP I WA92 21 B8 A 5L1RI72. Find the image and answer here. Players were tasked with working out how many eyes they could see in an image, which was made up of letters, symbols and emojis. Find the image and the answer here. A 1% question was based on a grid of numbers going in ascending order from 1 to 49. Starting on 25, the middle square, SEEN took you to square 27. From there, NEW took you to 20. From there, which square would SEWN take you to? Find the image and the answer here. And finally, an easy one - What common food in bold has had its letters rearranged into alphabetical order? ABDER If you really don't know you can find the answer here. Shown on screen were 18 emoji-style faces arranged in three rows of six. Once the time limit was up, Lee revealed 30 people had answered incorrectly and were therefore out. On another occasion, 18 people went out on a tricky alphabet question. Players were shown four words and asked to spot the one that did not contain three consecutive letters from the alphabet. The options were, Unopenable, Understandable, Unquestionable, and Undefineable. Meanwhile a contestant has revealed a strict rule that might get you kicked off the show instantly. 3 The 1% Club airs on ITV1 and ITVX.

Emmerdale star ‘struggled' filming soap's ‘weird' intimate moments as she breaks silence on sexy scenes
EMMERDALE star Roxy Shahidi has admitted she struggled filming intimate scenes on the soap. The actress - who played Leyla Harding in the ITV soap - has broken her silence on how she felt filming sexy scenes. 3 3 3 Speaking to former co-star Matthew Wolfenden, Roxy opened up about how she felt having to kiss her co-stars - and it's safe to say she's not a fan. Matthew said: "They decided to try to put David and Leyla back together — do you remember? — and we had to do a kissy scene. It was the weirdest thing, wasn't it? "Because it's alright when you're doing those scenes with... (people you don't know so well)." She said on their podcast The Celebrity Side Hustle Roxy said: "I really struggle with them, because I am someone, and I know it sounds daft as an actor because people listening will be saying, 'It's your job.' 'It is, and you do get on with it, but for me personally, I'm so weird about personal space. "I've just never felt comfortable with it." She added: "It's always made me anxious. "I always get a bit awkward, but the best way I found to deal with it is to almost choreograph it like a dance." The actress left the show in 2024, and bowed out after her character, Leyla was killed in the tragic limo crash. A source close to the telly star said at the time: "Roxy has adored her time on the soap and has made so many happy memories since first joining when she was 17. I was stunned when I found out my Emmerdale character Leyla Harding was going to die in limo crash… it was very tough, admits star Roxy Shahidi "The cast have become like family to her and she has grown so much as an actress, but now feels like the perfect time to spread her wings and try something new. "She is really excited about her meaty exit storyline, which will see her character Leyla die on screen. 'She'd rather go out in a blaze of glory and be remembered."
