Is this Brooklyn Beckham's most brutal swipe yet amid ongoing family feud?

Brooklyn Beckham made it clear where his loyalties lie this week with a gesture his family are most likely to regard as the most brutal yet.
The eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham shared a public post on his Instagram Stories along with his wife, Nicola Peltz-Beckham (30), wishing his father-in-law, American billionaire Nelson Peltz, a happy 83rd birthday.
'Happy Birthday Nelson x we love you ❤️,' the 26-year-old hot sauce entrepreneur wrote.
It comes after he failed to publicly wish both his parents on their birthdays this year – in stark contrast to his gushing posts in the past.
Brooklyn has reportedly all but cut off his famous family after escalating tension involving his American actress wife.
'Brooklyn told his family he wants no contact, and he's not responding to those that try to connect,' a source told Page Six.
Rumours of a rift stretch back to their 2022 wedding when gossip swirled that Nicola and Victoria fought throughout the lead-up to the nuptials, with Nicola eventually shunning a VB gown for a Valentino one.
Things clearly did not improve in the ensuing years but reached a breaking point when Brooklyn and Nicola did not attend Becks' 50th birthday celebrations in London in May, despite both being in the country at the time.
Brooklyn also reportedly failed to congratulate his dad on his recent knighthood and said nothing on Father's Day despite David including him in his own effusive post about his four children.
In fact, he seemed to double down on where his loyalties lie in a recent post, in which he said asking the blonde beauty to marry him was the 'best decision ever'.

Indeed, there have been concerns, especially from his own family, that Brooklyn is 'infatuated' with Nicola.
'Brooklyn has a tendency to fall head over heels in love with women very fast,' a source close to the family says.
'He is absolutely besotted. They have barely spent a night apart since they have been together. It's like he can't imagine life without her – he will literally do anything she wants him to.'
Sources say while she enjoys his devotion, it's become a key concern for his family, who believe he's become isolated even from friends.

His brothers Romeo (22) and Cruz (20) have apparently taken to calling him 'The Hostage', a dig at how badly they think he's being controlled by Nicola.
A recent post in which he can be seen on his motorbike with Nicola behind him, saw Brooklyn gushing, 'My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you're the most amazing person I know xx me and you forever baby.'

Last month, the two snapped up their first permanent home – a $16 million (R288 million) mansion in an exclusive area of Beverly Hills that counts Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lawrence as residents.
However, insiders say Nicola's billionaire father is probably the one who footed the bill for the jaw-dropping six-bedroom, seven-bathroom luxury pad.
