Speculation is swirling among fans who believe Romeo and Cruz Beckham mocked their sister-in-law, Nicola Peltz, online.
Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, are the younger brothers of Brooklyn Beckham, who many believe to be in a feud with the rest of his family, including parents Victoria and David.
On April 7, Romeo shared a series of photos to Instagram, prompting Cruz to comment, ‘So beautiful Romeo ✨🩷.’
Moments later, Cruz followed up with several laughing emojis, which many fans interpreted as a hint of sarcasm.
Online sleuths quickly pointed out the similarity to a comment Nicola Peltz made just two days earlier.
On April 5, model Mia Regan posted photos from a POP Magazine shoot, to which Peltz had commented, ‘So beautiful mia 🩷✨.’

The near-identical wording and timing have led some followers to wonder whether the Beckham brothers were subtly mocking Peltz’s post.
The speculation comes amid ongoing rumours about the Beckham family having some inner turmoil after Brooklyn was notably absent from his dad David’s big 50th birthday celebrations at the weekend.
Not only did he miss the party, but he wasn’t on David’s ‘boys’ fishing trip with Cruz and Romeo – something the former footballer acknowledged on social media, tagging Brooklyn in pictures from their trip and saying: ‘You were missed.’
Over the past few weeks it’s been suggested that Kim Turnball, Romeo’s new girlfriend, dated Brooklyn before she got into a relationship with Romeo, which has caused a rift between the brothers – however, Cruz has denied this claim.
Speaking to Metro, a source explained that Victoria is hoping that Brooklyn will ‘come around’ as she has found the mysterious fallout ‘devastating’
‘Victoria hates to think about her family being so divided, especially with it involving one of her children. Brooklyn’s absence at David’s 50th birthday party was noticeable and she desperately wished he would have been there,’ said the source.
