Cruz Beckham has admitted he wants to repair the relationship with his older brother Brooklyn Beckham amid their family’s ongoing feud.
In video footage published by TMZ and HELLO! on Thursday, March 5, Cruz was approached by a reporter who asked the youngest Beckham brother if he had any well wishes for his older sibling who turned 27 on Wednesday, March 4.
Looking at the camera, Cruz, 20, replied, “Happy birthday.”
Although Cruz ignored further questions about Brooklyn, including whether he had spoken to his brother recently, he gave a small insight into his hopes for their relationship moving forward.
The reporter asked Cruz, “Any chance you guys will repair the relationship? Are you hopeful for that?” In response, Cruz said, “I hope so.”
Cruz previously extended the olive branch to Brooklyn on his birthday. Posting via his Instagram Story, Cruz shared a photo of himself as a baby in the arms of his brother as a child. “I love you,” Cruz wrote alongside the childhood snap.
David and Victoria Beckham also shared touching Instagram posts to send well wishes to their estranged son on his special day. (As well as Cruz and Brooklyn, David and Victoria also share Romeo, 23, and Harper, 14.)
“Happy Birthday Bust,” David, 50, wrote alongside a throwback image of the pair, referring to his nickname for Brooklyn. “Love you x.”
For her part, Victoria shared two posts featuring photos of Brooklyn as a child to celebrate her son’s birthday.
“Happy birthday Brooklyn, we love you so much,” the fashion designer, 51, wrote alongside an old photo of herself and David with Brooklyn in the pool.
In the second post which showed herself holding Brooklyn as a baby, Victoria added, “Happy 27th birthday Brooklyn, I love you so much.”
Brooklyn did not publicly acknowledge his family’s Instagram posts about him, but was seen celebrating with his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham.
Nicola, 31, shared a video via her Instagram of Brooklyn blowing out candles on a box of donuts.
“Happy birthday baby… I hope all your dreams and wishes come true!” she gushed. “You light up every room you walk into and anyone who knows you loves you… you’re the most special human and I love being your wife. I love you I love you I love you.”
The birthday tributes come after Brooklyn slammed his family in a scathing social media post earlier this year.
“I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private,” Brooklyn wrote on January 19. “Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.”
In the lengthy post, Brooklyn added, “I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.”
