Cruz Beckham post heartbreaking family snap after brother Brooklyn tells them he ‘wants no contact’
CRUZ Beckham has shared a throwback family snap amid the ongoing family feud between the Beckhams.
The youngest son of David and Victoria appeared to be looking back at happier times in the family as he shared an old snap of the three brothers with their mum after she had just given birth to daughter, Harper Seven.
The snap, believed to be taken in 2011, showed the three boys beaming down the lens of the camera as they snuggled up to their mum.
Victoria tenderly held her daughter in the heartwarming picture.
Cruz’s decision to upload the image is very telling amid ongoing tension in the family after Brooklyn decided he no longer wanted contact with his famous family.
Cruz did not add any captions nor did he tag his family members in the snap.
Earlier today, it was revealed that Brooklyn is refusing to reply to messages amid the bitter feud, according to reports.
The 26-year-old, who lives in LA with wife Nicola Peltz, 30, has no desire to speak to his parents or siblings after only learning about his dad’s knighthood in the press, an insider has told Page Six.
The sourced said: “Brooklyn told his family he wants no contact and he’s not responding to those that try to connect.”
However, a source close to Brooklyn denied this and said, “this seems to be another deliberate attempt to misrepresent the truth, and it only serves to distract from this honor being bestowed on Brooklyn’s father.”
The Sun has contacted representatives for Brooklyn and the Beckhams for comment.
England legend David will be knighted as part of King Charles‘ birthday honours.
It’s a title he has coveted for some time and it means Victoria will be come Lady Beckham.
David was first put forward for a knighthood in 2011 after helping to secure the London 2012 Olympics.
But he was blocked from getting the title by the Honours Committee after becoming caught up in a tax avoidance scheme, along with many other stars.
His finances were cleared by the taxman at least four years ago – paving the way for him to finally get the coveted honour.
Just weeks ago we revealed how David and Victoria feel there might be no way to reconcile with their eldest child.
Brooklyn, who was a no-show at David’s star-studded 50th birthday celebrations last month, shared a video of himself and Nicola riding on his motorbike and wrote: “My whole world. I will love you forever. I always choose you baby.”
Those close to the Beckhams said the message seemed “very pointed”.
A source added: “It shows how much this situation with his family has escalated.
“It’s very sad for everyone involved, especially David and Victoria who love him very much. This isn’t the Brooklyn his family knows and loves.
“This post was like a dagger to their hearts but they will always be there for Brooklyn.”
Tensions became public when Brooklyn did not publicly acknowledge fashion designer Victoria, 51, on Mother’s Day. He then failed to show at any of David’s 50th birthday parties.
His mum and dad have continued to acknowledge him on social media, but pals of Brooklyn and Nicola suggested that was for show.
The Sun revealed that the couple recently had dinner in California with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who were “very empathetic”.
Harris Yulin dead aged 88: Emmy-nominated Scarface star and Ghostbusters actor dies after heart attack
THE celebrated actor Harris Yulin who starred in Scarface and Ghost Busters, and was a Braodway legend, has died at the age of 88.
He died in New York on Tuesday, as announced by his family and manager Sue Leibman.
Yulin was an icon of Broadway, treading the boards in Hedda Gabler, The Price, The Visit and Watch on the Rhine, among many other productions.
Born November 5, 1937, in Los Angeles, Yulin made his New York stage debut in 1963 in James Saunders’ Next Time I’ll Sing to You.
It wasn’t until 1980 that he broke into the Broadway circuit in a revival of Lillian Hellman’s Watch on the Rhine.
A slew of Braodway appearances followed – including The Visit, The Diary of Anne Frank, The Price and, his final one, Hedda Gabler in 2001.

Michelle Keegan lands six-figure deal to become new face of Sky in her first job since having baby Palma
FORMER Corrie star Michelle Keegan has signed a six-figure advertising deal to become the new face of Sky.
She is set to film a series of promo clips — which will be shown around the globe — with fellow British actor, Luther star Idris Elba.
The deal is Michelle’s first major job since she gave birth to her daughter Palma in March.
She landed the deal after becoming a major player for Sky, with her comedy-drama Brassic one of the most popular series to air on the platform.
A source said: “Michelle has really been enjoying maternity leave with Palma, but she’ll be back to work soon to film these new adverts for Sky.
“She has signed a six-figure deal for the job and is thrilled to have been chosen to appear alongside Idris, who has been their ‘face’.
“Brassic is ending after the seventh series and Michelle is keen to still be a part of the Sky brand.
“Landing this ad is huge for Michelle, as she’s fast becoming a brand in her own right.
“Everything she touches seems to turn to gold.”
The actress, 38, found fame as Tina McIntyre on Coronation Street after joining the ITV soap in 2007.
But it was after she left in 2014 her career really took off, with hits such as BBC military drama Our Girl from 2016 to 2020, playing Georgie Lane.
Last year, she had the starring role as Maya Stern in Netflix’s Harlan Coben thriller Fool Me Once — which racked up more than 100 million views globally.
The show became the streaming service’s most watched series of 2024, beating Bridgerton and Baby Reindeer.
Michelle also stars in the BBC’s Australian drama Ten Pound Poms.
The Sun revealed last year that the Manchester-born actress, who is married to Heart radio DJ and former The Only Way is Essex star Mark Wright, 38, was sitting on a £3.6million fortune.
Michelle admitted leaving Coronation Street after six years had pushed her onwards to succeed with her career.
She said: “For me, it was a massive learning platform.
“I took a long, long time to decide to leave. It was very hard.
“And then, when they told me they were killing off my character and there was no going back, I thought I would never work again.
“My security was ripped away, which made me push forward and work harder.”

England footie ace Millie Bright misses OBE ceremony with Prince William as she’s on crutches with knee injury
LIONESSES ace Millie Bright missed a date with Prince William yesterday — as she is on crutches.
The England defender, 31, is recovering from surgery to fix a knee injury which forced her to pull out of the Euro 2025 squad.
It also meant she missed her investiture at Windsor Castle, where she was due to receive an OBE.
Instead, the Chelsea player hobbled along with her pet dog yesterday near her Surrey home.
It comes after The Sun revealed she had split from her fiancé.
An onlooker said: “Millie’s had a chaotic few weeks with news of her split and pulling out of the England squad.
“But she’s as tough in real life as she is on the pitch.”
We revealed on Saturday how Millie had fallen for a personal trainer, and named him yesterday as married dad-of-seven Dave Zetolofsky, 39.
England’s World Cup captain last week made herself unavailable for this summer’s Euros — stating she was unable to “give 100 per cent mentally or physically”.
She was said to be in turmoil after splitting from hubby-to-be Levi Crew and growing close to tattooed martial arts enthusiast Dave, who has been seen moving into her property.
However, she has told friends her new romance has nothing to do with her squad withdrawal. There is also no suggestion that the pair cheated on their partners. Dave’s wife Katie is said to be “devastated”.
A source said yesterday: “Millie and Dave’s relationship has rocketed.
“They are smitten. It’s tough on their former partners but they are trying to navigate through the turbulence as best they can and concentrate on a future together.”
Millie was awarded her OBE after winning the 2022 Euros and captaining England to the 2023 World Cup final.
Everton manager David Moyes was among those to receive the gong yesterday, and revealed he and Aston Villa fan Wills discussed football.
Family stunned to find their pet Joey the tortoise is actually a girl after 95 YEARS
A PET tortoise thought to be a boy for 95 years turned out to be a girl.
Joey finally came out of her shell at a vet’s examination shortly before her death from a stomach tumour last week.
The African spurred tortoise was bought from high street chain Woolworths in 1930 by Louise Dimmock, as a gift for son Alan.
Joey spent the next nine decades being passed down through the family — ending up with Alan’s granddaughter Lorraine Steward.
The cabin crew trainee, 43, said: “We always thought he was a boy until we took him to the vets to be examined before his death.
“We knew something was wrong as he wasn’t taking his food.
“He had never needed to go to the vet before and it’s difficult to check the gender. They were stunned he had done so well.
“They were examining him and revealed, ‘I’m led to believe he’s actually a girl’.
“We couldn’t believe it. Maybe he was more of a Josephine than a Joey all this time. But after knowing him as a boy for 95 years, we’re not going to change now.”
Joey, who ate lettuce and strawberries, was well-known among locals in Whitwell, Herts.
Lorraine added: “We will all miss him greatly. He lived a simple life. He was very low maintenance and happy as anything.”
21 PMs AND NINE POPES
OVER her 95 years Joey never strayed any further than her home village, even surviving a German shell landing in the garden during World War Two.
She also lived through:
- Twenty-one prime ministers.
- Five monarchs, stretching back to George V, left.
- Sixteen Presidents of the US.
- Nine popes.
- World War Two.
- Twenty-one England football managers — and one World Cup victory.
- And 22 Olympics.
I tested flavoured ciders… fresh-flavoured £2.75 winner tasted just like a can of Lilt and would be great with cheese
WITH a whopping 324million pints sold last year, cider is now the most popular alcoholic drink after beer.
And it’s not just classic versions we are enjoying – because premium fruit-flavoured options account for 72 per cent of orders.
As pub gardens gear up to supply us with refreshing summer pints, Alex James – Blur bassist, Big Feastival founder and now cider maker – gives his verdict on an array of the flavoured tipples.
Rattler Pineapple Cider
500ml, 3.4%, £2.75, Tesco
IT’S perfectly possible to make cider from just apples and nothing else.
Apple skins carry natural yeasts that will cause juice left in a barrel over the winter to ferment and magically transmogrify into cider by spring.
This minor miracle has always been more than enough for me, but I can see the appeal of adding exotic flavourings to spice things up a bit.
Unsurprisingly, this one tastes a bit like Lilt. It’s full of fresh pineapple flavour and would be great, Hawaiian pizza-style, with cheese on toast.
Also makes me think I’d love to try an alcoholic drink made purely from fermented pineapple juice.
That really would be something.
RATING: 5/5
Alska Strawberry & Lime Cider
500ml, 3.4%, £1.99, Aldi
A SWEDISH cider with an eye-catching label bursting with colourful illustrations of fresh strawberries and limes.
It’s almost like they’re tricking you into thinking you’re buying a yoghurt of some kind, rather than a bottle of booze with added sugar and flavourings.
It must be hard enough growing apples and strawberries in Sweden, let alone limes, but we’ll skim over that.
It tastes exactly like a “red” flavour freeze pop. It’s too overwhelmingly sugary to pair with a lot of foods or other drinks.
But pouring it over ice would dampen the sweetness and make it a decent lunchtime aperitif.
On a boiling hot day, upgrading from a crafty Mr Freeze to one of these in the garden wouldn’t be a bad idea.
RATING: 2/5
Crumpton Oaks Strawberry Fruity Cider
568ml, 4%, £1.50, Tesco
A MIGHTY, pint-sized can of cider. It’s very pink and very sweet and it’s among the stronger offerings in today’s field at four per cent alcohol by volume.
It tastes of strawberry flavour rather than actual strawberries, but is by far the cheapest of the bunch.
If it’s value you’re after, you could easily add a shot of strawberry syrup to your favourite cider, but if it’s strawberry flavour convenience that you want, then look no further.
Syrupy sweet, so might be nice as a pudding wine alternative.
Try it with ice cream or apple pie, or maybe even delivered lovingly to the wife while she’s halfway through a long soak in a bubble bath.
RATING: 3/5
Old Mout Kiwi & Lime Cider
500ml, 4%, £2.38, Asda
IF the idea was to train your children in how to drink alcohol, this would be the perfect way to get them started.
It might be an alcoholic tipple, but it smells like a bag of Jelly Babies and tastes like an exotic species of Fanta. I have to say I rather liked it.
I can see it going down really well at a barbecue as it’s full of fizz, with enough zest and fruitiness to square up to the traditional burned sausage.
That said, I’ve also got a feeling you could get something very similar for much cheaper by adding a shot of already-open booze, like vodka, to a glass of your favourite fruity fizzy pop.
RATING: 4/5
Pulpt Melba (White Peach & Scottish Raspberry) Cider
500ml, 3.4%, £2.65, Tesco
THIS cider reminds me of the rhubarb-and-custard chews I used to enjoy on my Saturday morning trips to the sweet shop as a child.
It looks like a glass of plain old cider but then, when you try it, you get a good biff of raspberry flavour. Any peachiness was harder to detect.
As with most of these cheap and cheerful drinks, I think older teens would love it, but whatever your age, it would work best served as cold as possible on a swelteringly hot sunny day.
You’re basically getting a two-for-one alcohol and sugar hit.
It would also ride very nicely alongside a pork pie or a Scotch egg at a picnic.
RATING 2/5
Woodgate Blood Orange Cider
(4x440ml), 3.4%, £2.99, Lidl
THERE are so many things I like about cider. Apple orchards are enchanting places – the Biblical Garden of Eden, which was a paradise, was an orchard, after all.
Even relatively recently, cider was used as currency to pay farm workers, so whoever made the best cider got the best workers.
And it helped lead to a revolution in British glass manufacturing that ultimately shaped the drinking habits of the entire world.
This blood-orange tinned tipple actually tastes nothing like cider at all. Instead, it looks, tastes and smells just like a famous orange fizzy drink.
But it would make a decent birthday breakfast substitute for a Buck’s fizz. Or swig it as an accompaniment to a weekend fast food smash.
RATING: 4/5
I took a ride in AI-powered robotaxis set to hit UK – they have more gadgets than James Bond but I missed key element
AS my odd-looking taxi pulled up, it was comforting to know that the driver couldn’t have downed a skinful the night before.
And I was certain this cabbie wouldn’t spend the journey telling me why my football team, Crystal Palace, aren’t as good as I think they are.
That’s because there wasn’t a human behind the steering wheel. I was about to take a ride in an AI-powered robotaxi.
They are coming to Britain next year after driverless vehicles were given the go-ahead. Ride-hailing app Uber will be allowed to put passengers’ lives in the hands of artificial intelligence in London.
For someone who has struggled to comprehend tech since the invention of the SodaStream, this ride was a frightening prospect.
Well, would you get on an airliner without a pilot?
Gazing out on to the busy freeway in Phoenix, Arizona, with giant SUVs motoring past, I had a similar pang of nerves about riding in the driverless contraption that had come to pick me up.
More gadgets than Bond
I had read some horror stories about robotaxies going rogue.
In 2021, a self-driving car in the sunbelt city became confused by traffic cones then drove away from a technician sent to rescue it.
Eventually the Waymo motor had to be disabled so a human driver could get behind the wheel. The passenger filmed the 33-minute debacle and plastered it on YouTube.
Last year a General Motors-owned Cruise robotaxi struck and dragged a pedestrian 20 feet in San Francisco. The woman — who was injured — survived the ordeal.
And in 2018 a cyclist was killed by an Uber cyber car with a safety driver in Phoenix.
The back-up driver had been looking down to watch The Voice TV show which he was streaming when Elaine Herzberg, 49, crossed a darkened road in front of her.
It was the first fatal collision involving a fully autonomous vehicle.
Nevertheless, with self-driving cars being touted as the future of motoring, it was time for a test run.
Booking my ride was simple. I downloaded the app of Waymo One — a self-drive firm owned by Google’s parent company Alphabet — and punched in my details along with where I wanted to go.
With the thermometer hitting 39C in this desert city, I was on the hunt for a nice, cool pint of Guinness and was told Casey Moore’s Oyster House was the place to go.
At least there would be no argument about designated drivers.
Soon I was tracking the Waymo on my phone as it surged to my hotel through the early rush-hour traffic.
And then the gleaming white Jaguar I-PACE came into view — with no one at the wheel. On the roof was something that looked like a giant police blue light with my initials displayed on it.
Unlocking its door with the app, I sat in the back (no one is allowed in the driver’s seat) as the Waymo played calming elevator music.
I pressed a screen between the front seats saying “start ride”. Then, a bit like KITT, the car from Eighties TV series Knight Rider, Waymo began talking.
As we pulled smoothly away from the hotel forecourt, the robotaxi told me to buckle up.
And then, with the steering wheel spinning as if by some invisible force, we eased into the Phoenix traffic as I let out an involuntary “whoaa!”
On the opposite side of the road cars were whizzing towards us but all-electric Waymo deftly navigated the right path before pulling up at a red light.
How did it know it was red? That’s one for the brainiacs. Swinging left into East Apache Boulevard, I caught sight of a couple of pedestrians ahead. How would the cyber motor react?
My Waymo One slowed and made sure to give them a wide berth.
That’s because it is bristling with more gadgets than a James Bond car.
Its sensors include cameras, radars and something called lidars which use lasers to create a 3D image of the vehicle’s surroundings.
The in-car computer then makes sense of all the data that Waymo is gathering.
And, learning to trust the tech, I was soon beginning to relax. All speed limits were observed and driving rules obeyed.
The ride was smooth and felt safe. Perhaps I was better off without a driver after all.
Wayve’s technology operates more like a human driver would learning to drive in one city and then applying that knowledge to drive in new places.
Bill Gates
Britain’s Department for Transport estimates that 88 per cent of road accidents are caused by human error. Soon we were pulling up outside the pub.
Keeping the rear door open a little too long, an actual human called Brian came through on Waymo’s intercom to check I was OK.
He was certainly more amenable than Johnny, the robot driver of the taxi in 1990 sci-fi flick Total Recall, who Arnold Schwarzenegger ripped out of the cab in frustration be- cause he was not listening to his in- structions.
My 14-minute journey over 1.6 miles had cost $9.33 (just over £7). And, unlike most things in America, there was no need to add a tip.
Waymo One serves 180 square miles of Arizona’s capital — that makes Phoenix the largest fully autonomous ride-hail service zone in the world.
After a couple of pints, I decided to summon another Waymo.
Not arriving at the front of the pub as I had imagined, it headed to- wards a park- ing lot at the back. Would the robotaxi be able to navigate this manoeuvre?
In May this year another empty Waymo trying to pick up its ride collided with a telephone pole in a Phoenix alleyway.
No one was injured but pictures show a fire crew attending the scene with the robotaxi suffering a crumpled front grill.
Hunk of metal
Waymo voluntarily recalled its 672-car fleet for a software update in what the company called a “safety-first approach”.
The crash was put down to the robotaxi’s software having “assigned a low damage score” to the pole. It had misjudged the danger because there was no kerb or clear road edge.
My Waymo pulled into the parking lot smoothly and confidently.
But, unlike many humans, could it parallel park? Indeed it could and reversing is no problem either.
And — despite having sampled some local beverages — there was no barked warning: “Mate, you’re not going to be sick in my cab, are you?” Soon this taxi was traversing the two miles to Society restaurant like a London cabbie with The Knowledge.
The 11-minute ride cost $13.31 (£10.25). Again, no tip required by the computer chip and its hunk of metal.
With millions employed as drivers across the globe, tech titans are investing billions in robo vehicle technology for what they see as a lucrative driverless future.
Last year Elon Musk unveiled Tesla’s Cybercab at the Warner Bros studio lot in Hollywood.
The world’s richest man insisted that the sleek, golden two-seater car without a steering wheel or pedals will be on sale “before 2027”.
Meanwhile Amazon-owned Zoox’s self-driving cars will soon be available to the public in Las Vegas.
In Scotland a robobus with a back-up driver plies a route over the Forth Road Bridge. Wuhan in China — where Covid was first detected — has more than 400 self-driving Apollo Go cars taking passengers.
Tech giant Baidu delayed increasing the fleet to a thousand after complaints by human taxi drivers.
A cab firm in the city accused the robotaxis of “taking jobs from the grass roots”.
It will be far from the last time humans protest about losing their jobs to AI-powered robots.
Self-driving cars could bring jobs, investment, and the opportunity for the UK to be among the world leaders in new technology.
Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander
Over here, the UK start-up Wayve will be teaming up with Uber for its taxi service next spring.
If all goes well, the plan is to roll out these services across the country in the second half of 2027 when last year’s Automated Vehicles Act comes fully into force.
Founded in 2017 by New Zealand-born Alex Kendall, Wayve believes it can produce robocars that are safer and cheaper than anyone else by giving the car “its own brain.” Its AI-driven software can be used to make any car self-driving using cameras.
The live images are used to train itself to drive by visual observation.
Microsoft founder Bill Gates went for a ride to get fish and chips in a Wayve-powered motor — with a back-up driver — while in London.
The tech giant said: “Other self-driving technologies work only on specific mapped streets.
“Wayve’s technology operates more like a human driver would learning to drive in one city and then applying that knowledge to drive in new places.”
In May, Wayve raised $1.05billion (£840million) in funding, with Microsoft and Nvidia, a leading chip-maker, among investors.
It is the largest known investment in an AI company in Europe to date.
According to the Department for Transport, the UK cybercar industry could be worth £42billion and create 38,000 jobs by 2035.
This week, Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said: “The future of transport is arriving.
“Self-driving cars could bring jobs, investment, and the opportunity for the UK to be among the world leaders in new technology.”
Back in Phoenix, I summoned another Waymo for a ride back to my hotel.
By now I was relaxed enough to enjoy the experience of being driven through the night-time streets by a machine seemingly with a mind of its own.
Yet, as the journey progressed, I realised I was missing something.
There was no round-up of the Champions League scores and no chat about the most famous person to ride in the cab.
Waymos don’t do banter. You still need a human driver for that.
