Hana Cross Speaks Out on Brooklyn Beckham Drama

's ex has revealed she was 'shocked' to learn about his public row with his family.

The model, 28, dated the chef for nearly a year between 2018 and 2019, and it's since been alleged that one source of friction came when Brooklyn had refused to get his girlfriend to sign a non-disclosure agreement or NDA.

Hana has now spoken out on her relationship with Brooklyn in the wake of his feud with his parents David and Victoria, and hit back at claims she was pressured into signing an NDA.

Reflecting on the end of their relationship, Hana said there were 'warning signs' in her relationship with Brooklyn she chose to ignore.

Brooklyn cut ties with his family in a scathing social media statement in January, declaring he has no plans to reconcile with his famous parents and accusing them of 'controlling him for most of his life'. 

Hana said: 'I want to say, too, that I've never been pressured or received an warning from them not to speak about it or say anything about the relationship.

'After it happened, I just wanted to move on and make my own life and my own name for myself.'

She went on to tell HELLO! Magazine: 'This whole thing that's happened, with Brooklyn coming out and writing the Instagram Stories and his statement - it was a bit shocking to me that he did that.

'It was a surprise, I guess it shocked his family too... but it summed up a lot of my own experiences as well, and the way that their family as a brand does act.'

Hana went onto share her sadness that the row has unfolded 'so openly and publicly,' and shared her hopes they reconcile in the future as 'family is extremely important.'

Reflecting on their relationship with Brooklyn, she added 'There were a lot of warning signs and things that happened during the relationship that, in hindsight, should have made me think and maybe end the relationship or walk away from it a lot sooner than I did.'

She added that due to her young age, she 'didn't know what do' during the challenges of the relationship.

Hana said that while she has briefly seen Brooklyn's brothers at fashion events, she hadn't spoken to her ex 'for a while'. 

Sources previously told Daily Mail that there were complaints from the Beckhams that Brooklyn was not putting the family first when he was with Hana, that he was neglecting his grandparents and that his girfriend wouldn't sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), preventing her from talking about private family matters.

A friend of the family added that Brooklyn was 'besotted and naive' in the romance with Hana from the very beginning – very much mirroring his relationship with wife Nicola Peltz.

It was previously reported that Hana was asked to feature in an 'eye-watering' tell-all book on his family.

The working title is Brand Beckham, with the subtitle The Fame, the Feuds, the Fallout, billed as 'the inside account of the Beckham family saga.' 

Hana and Brooklyn were first spotted together in December 2018 at the British Fashion Awards afterparty. She spent Christmas and New Year hanging out with the Beckhams.

Brooklyn and Hana were at Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park with Brooklyn's Cousin Libby Adams in February 2019.

But in March they had a bust-up after going to watch the English rock musician Yungblud perform at the Camden Assembly in North London.

A witness said: 'Brooklyn had sunk a few beers and ended up getting into a row with Hana.

'It had been a bit of a wild night out and it got a bit messy.

'Brooklyn got really upset and ended up storming into the street. Hana read him the riot act and told him she didn't like it when he was acting up and drinking too much.'

On Valentine's Day in 2019, Brooklyn and Hana took a trip to Paris.

Brooklyn shared a picture of the couple at the Eiffel Tower with caption: 'Me and my girl. Luckiest man in the world. Love you baby.' 

Hana followed suit writing : 'Thank you for making me the happiest girl in the world. I love you! Happy Valentine's Day xx' They also went to Victoria's fashion show.

She was Instagram pals with the whole Beckham bunch, including Gordon Ramsay's children and actress Liv Tyler, then the wife of David Beckham's best pal and bag carrier Dave Gardner.

She went with the Beckham children - and their security - to Coachella.

In an interview with Tatler magazine in 2019 Hana Cross said of Victoria Beckham: 'We talk about everything.' She was the only non-family member at Mrs Beckham's birthday that year.

In April there was an apparent row outside a restaurant, with Brooklyn's brother Romeo, then 16, putting his hand on her shoulder to try and calm things down.

The young couple adopted a Pomeranian puppy, Soho, but after rows at the Cannes film festival in May, finally split in July 2019.

It was reported that Victoria and David were delighted and that they had quietly suggested he end the relationship months earlier.
