Cruz Beckham appeared to extend an emotional olive branch to his estranged brother Brooklyn on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The musician, 20, took to Instagram to share a close-up photograph of himself looking visibly upset, accompanied by a crying emoji and the words: \u201cLife is too short to be silent, at least talk it out.\u201d<\/p>\n

The youngest son of Sir David and Lady Victoria Beckham also posted a video of his eldest brother, 26, presenting his sibling with a guitar, captioning it \u201cbrotherly love\u201d alongside multiple crying emojis.<\/p>\n

He later shared an image of a guitar with the word \u201cThanks\u201d written across the back.<\/p>\n

The posts come amid the ongoing rift between Brooklyn and the rest of the Beckham family, with the brothers still not following each other on social media.<\/p>\n

The cryptic uploads mark Cruz\u2019s most direct public reference to the family discord since tensions escalated earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Cruz, who recently performed an intimate Notting Hill gig with his band The Breakers, which Brooklyn did not attend, has previously remained silent about the estrangement.<\/p>\n

His appeal comes weeks after Brooklyn\u2019s conspicuous absence from their father\u2019s knighthood ceremony.<\/p>\n

Brooklyn, who has been living in California, did not attend Sir David’s knighthood presentation at Windsor Castle last month, where the football legend received the honour from King Charles.<\/p>\n

Sources suggest he also did not contact his father to congratulate him. Instead, during the ceremony, Brooklyn promoted his hot sauce brand Cloud23 on social media.<\/p>\n

This incident followed earlier absences from several events marking Sir David\u2019s 50th birthday.<\/p>\n

Sources have long suggested Brooklyn has drifted from the family since marrying American actress Nicola Peltz, 30.<\/p>\n

Tensions reached breaking point in May when Brooklyn and Nicola declined to attend David\u2019s 50th birthday celebrations. Soon afterwards, both Cruz and Romeo unfollowed their brother on Instagram.<\/p>\n

The rift is understood to stem from Brooklyn and Nicola\u2019s 2020 wedding, when conflicting versions emerged about a dispute involving the bride\u2019s wedding dress.<\/p>\n

Nicola reportedly rejected a design by Posh in favour of Valentino; others suggested her mother-in-law withdrew the offer.<\/p>\n

Matters worsened when the couple renewed their vows in August, in a ceremony overseen by Nicola\u2019s billionaire father Nelson Peltz. None of the Beckhams were invited.<\/p>\n

Family insiders say Brooklyn has become increasingly isolated from his relatives since the marriage, with the estrangement now appearing more severe than ever.<\/p>\n

Adding further poignancy to Cruz\u2019s posts, a new interview with Sir David was released this week on James Corden\u2019s This Life of Mine podcast.<\/p>\n

In it, the Manchester United legend spoke about how he raised his children with values he inherited from his own parents.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to say that I brought my children up with the same values as what my dad and mum taught me and my sisters,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy kids are very polite\u2026 humble\u2026 and they all have the same values as what I have and my wife has. That\u2019s the proudest thing that we have as parents.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cI am different with my kids, I\u2019m a lot softer than my dad was. But there\u2019s certain traits that I do have the same as my dad.\u201d<\/p>\n

The interview, recorded last year, has been released at a time when tensions between father and eldest son are at their most visible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cruz Beckham appeared to extend an emotional olive branch to his estranged brother Brooklyn on Thursday.
