Cruz Beckham shared a family photograph from backstage at his recent performance at Leeds Festival, which some interpret as a subtle jab at his estranged brother, Brooklyn. The post emerged just hours after Brooklyn publicly supported his wife, Nicola Peltz, at her Venice Film Festival debut.
Peltz, 31, was set to receive the Rising Star award at the festival. Brooklyn, 27, accompanied her to a Golden Globes x Aman Beverly Hills cocktail party in Venice. Meanwhile, Cruz, 21, showcased a united Beckham front in his Instagram post, featuring parents David and Victoria, brother Romeo, 24, and sister Harper, 15, backstage at the Leeds event. Cruz's girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, 30, and Romeo's girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, 24, were also included in the image, which Cruz captioned with a simple red heart emoji.
Cruz and his band, The Breakers, performed at Leeds Festival last Sunday, following a family appearance supporting him at Reading Festival the day prior. Following the festival shows, Cruz reflected on his career on Instagram, thanking his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, who also manages him. He expressed gratitude for the people around him, calling them his "best friends" and "family." He specifically acknowledged Apostel's role in managing the band's creative direction, strategy, and management.
David and Victoria Beckham were present to congratulate Cruz after his performance. David, 51, was seen embracing his son backstage, telling him his band's performance was "amazing." Victoria, 52, expressed her pride, and Harper also praised the gig, having joined Cruz on stage to distribute T-shirts to the audience. Victoria also commented on Cruz's stage attire, an orange crop top and jeans.
Concurrently, Brooklyn was with Peltz in Venice. Peltz, who has a 20-year acting career, was honored at The Kineo Awards, an event separate from the main Venice International Film Festival. The award citation noted Peltz's early start in acting as a child. Her past work includes writing, directing, and starring in the self-funded film "Lola," as well as roles in "The Last Airbender," "Transformers: Age of Extinction," "Bates Motel," "Holidate," and "Welcome to Chippendales."
Peltz is being recognized alongside actress Faye Dunaway, who will receive a lifetime achievement award and co-stars in Peltz's new film "Prima." The Kineo Awards, celebrating their 25th anniversary, are organized by the Kinéo Cultural Association and have been held during the Venice Film Festival period since 2002, though they are not directly affiliated with the main festival.
