\n\u201cIt Caused Me a Lot of Anxiety\u201d<\/p>\n

Hana didn\u2019t hold back when describing the impact their relationship allegedly had on her mental health<\/a>. \u201cMy time with the family caused me a lot of anxiety, in all honesty,\u201d she told HELLO!\u00a0\u201cThere were a lot of warning signs and things that happened during the relationship that, in hindsight, should have made me think and maybe end the relationship or walk away from it a lot sooner than I did.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Hana, going from farm life to the global spotlight was sudden and overwhelming. \u201cI was only 20, 21 when we dated, and I had just started modeling,\u201d Hana explained. \u201cI came from living on a farm to moving to London and being thrown into a relationship like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said that the rapid shift from a quiet upbringing to constant public attention left her puzzled. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to know what\u2019s best to do in that situation,\u201d she continued. \u201cNo one really knew, and I didn\u2019t, really. It wasn\u2019t something that I was super-open about, so advice from outside was hard to take.\u201d<\/p>\n

Years have passed, but Hana is still has a clear vision of that period of her life. \u201cI had that chapter in my life and wanted to move on from it,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s hard not to be mentally drawn back into that part of my life, especially with all this feud stuff coming out. It\u2019s hard because I don\u2019t look back on that as a fond time, on reflection.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite her anxiety claims, Hana emphasized that she was never silenced by Brooklyn\u2019s parents. \u201cI\u2019ve never been pressured or received any warning from them not to speak out about it or say anything about the relationship,\u201d she clarified. \u201cAfter it happened, I just wanted to move on and make my own life and my own name for myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hana even said she has empathy toward the ongoing situation between Brooklyn and his family.<\/a> \u201cIn terms of reconciling, I hope that they do, purely because they\u2019re a family and I think family is extremely important,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m sure that whatever happens can be healed over time. That\u2019s all I can really say on that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the drama, David and Victoria have reflected on sweet memories<\/a> with Brooklyn. When British photographer Platon posted \u00a0throwback photos from 2006, featuring the former footballer with Brooklyn’s name tattooed on his back<\/a>, David replied underneath the post: “Good memories.” \u00a0The former Spice Girl wrote: “Brings back great memories!”<\/p>\n

\"David\u00a9 Justin Goff PhotosDavid Beckham led the birthday tributes with a touching Instagram post that praised his youngest son while subtly acknowledging his estranged eldest, Brooklyn. <\/p>\n

According to the photographer, “Victoria arrived with Brooklyn, who was seven years old, Romeo, who was four and Cruz, who was just a baby. Brooklyn and Romeo charged into the studio wearing football kits, kicking balls, doing headers and other tricks.”<\/p>\n

He continued, “While Victoria was busy with the children, I started work with David. At one point, Brooklyn ran on set with his football under his arm and hugged his dad’s right leg. Then, Romeo joined his older brother. Then, Victoria also appeared with baby Cruz in her arms. The whole family turned away from us for a private heartfelt group hug. It was a poignant thing to see\u2014this spontaneous moment of affection happening on a giant photography set in front of 60 people.”<\/p>\n

The photographer concluded his caption by writing, “In this picture, although David stands alone<\/a>, we see the love of his children tattooed onto his back. Family is everything. David Beckham, I salute you.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brooklyn Beckham\u2019s ex-girlfriend, Hana Cross, is finally addressing her past relationship with the eldest son of Victoria and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":200459,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,3247,100,99,1214,79571,3998,191,3295,6716,2190,9,24,3248,63,3246],"class_list":["post-200458","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-beckham","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-celebrities","tag-celebrity-breakup","tag-celebrity-families","tag-celebrity-news","tag-celebrity-splits","tag-david-beckham","tag-mental-health","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nicola-peltz","tag-nyc","tag-victoria-beckham"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200458","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=200458"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200458\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/200459"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=200458"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=200458"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=200458"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
