Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Brooklyn and David Beckham for comment.

In the wake of the feud, even Brooklyn's brother Cruz has been channeling his family's woes into his music, with a new track seemingly savaging his sibling for 'breaking mama's heart.'

The new single, titled Loneliest Boy, suggests the widening rift between eldest brother Brooklyn and the influencer's immediate family has lit Cruz's creative spark. 

The currently unreleased track includes lyrics about 'breaking mama’s heart' -and fans are convinced they were inspired by Brooklyn and his ongoing estrangement. 

In one scathing verse, he sings: 'Loneliest boy, place all your bets on him, To find something bad in somebody good, he always does, Loneliest boy, I hope that you’re listening, Don’t push all your friends away, when we’re tryna show you love.'

Elsewhere, the chorus reads: So tell me you’re scared, and that you need someone to hold. Cause you’re in the room but really, does it even show?' 

'But, why can’t they see that you’re a million miles away, They’ll never know, when you look so close.' 

Even closer to the knuckle, a second verse reads: 'Loneliest boy, mama don’t talk too much, It’s breaking hеr heart.

While Nicola and Brooklyn live in LA, and attended Elton John's Oscars party on Sunday, the chef failed to cross paths with his estranged father

'It shows in the small things that you don’t do, I guess in thе end that it’s you, yourself, and you. Tell me how do you live, when you’ve got nobody to lose?'

Over the weekend, Brooklyn dealt his parents another blow by - but wasted no time in sharing a tribute to his mother-in-law on social media.

, Brooklyn, 27, shared a photo of himself alongside Claudia Heffner Peltz and his wife Nicola, with the accompanying caption: 'Happy birthday to the best mother-in-law. Love u so much and hope u had the most amazing day.'

With Claudia's birthday falling on March 12 - three days earlier - it seemed a particularly calculated move.

The eldest son of Victoria and David turned 27 earlier this month and blasted the 'performative posts' which included loving messages, according to reports.

An insider told ET that Brooklyn wants to .

A source told the publication: 'Brooklyn and Nicola are disheartened they chose to make public Instagram posts for his birthday.

'These are the exact type of performative public actions that Brooklyn has been trying to put an end to, to no avail.

'Last summer they issued a legal letter to his parents requesting that any correspondence go through lawyers.'

Brooklyn spent the day with Nicola who shared a video of her husband blowing out his candles on a box of doughnuts.

The aspiring chef only took to Instagram during the day to thank his wife for her gushing social media post, brushing aside his family's olive branch.

He was given another opportunity to reconnect with his estranged family after his parents attempted to build bridges by sharing a series of birthday tributes.

But while he failed to acknowledge their nostalgic throwback photos, birthday messages and repeated use of his affectionate nickname - Buster - he wasted no time in responding to Nicola.

The most recent reports He's reportedly been in regular contact with them.

I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.

I do not want to reconcile with my family. I'm not being controlled, I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life. For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.

Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they'll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.

My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn't stopped. My mum cancelled making Nicola's dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress. 

Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children.

They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated. My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since.

During the wedding planning, my mum went so far as to call me "evil" because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra, and Nicola's Naunni at our table, because they both didn't have their husbands. Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours.

The night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was "not blood" and "not family." Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I've received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders.

Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last Summer. 

My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song. In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead. 

She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I've never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life. We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment.

My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we've tried to come together as one. My mum has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable.

Despite this, we still travelled to London for my dad's birthday and were rejected for a week as we waited in our hotel room trying to plan quality time with him. He refused all of our attempts, unless it was at his big birthday party with a hundred guests and cameras at every corner.

When he finally agreed to see me, it was under the condition that Nicola wasn't invited. It was a slap in the face. Later, when my family travelled to LA, they refused to see me at all.

My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first. Family "love" is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo opp, even if it's at the expense of our professional obligations.

We've gone out of our way for years to show up and support at every fashion show, every party, and every press activity to show 'our perfect family.' But the one time my wife asked for my mum's support to save displaced dogs during the LA fires, my mum refused.

The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards. I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared.

I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief. My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.
