David Beckham’s private pain over his ongoing family tensions is reportedly becoming impossible to hide according to sources close to the ex-footballer.

RadarOnline reports that the former Manchester United and England star “can’t stop crying at the slightest little thing” as the feud with his eldest son Brooklyn Beckham continues to weigh heavily on him.

The emotional strain was reportedly visible during Cruz Beckham’s recent concert with his band named The Breakers.

“Romeo had been perched on a barrier toward the back of the theatre with David and Victoria, quietly watching the set, but as soon as Cruz began performing Loneliest Boy, you could see the change in him,” the source said.

“His expression shifted, and he quickly became overwhelmed, dabbing at his eyes as he tried to hold it together. Victoria immediately leaned in, wrapping an arm around his shoulders in a protective, comforting way,” the insider continued.

The source added that the moment affected the entire family. 

“The song clearly struck a nerve; it’s deeply emotional, and even Cruz looked like he was finding it difficult to get through certain lines without faltering. David stayed close to his wife, even resting his hand on Victoria’s leg, while she kept hold of Romeo’s hand until he started to cry. She pulled both of them in closer. At one stage, she had an arm around David as well, almost holding the family together in that moment.”

According to witnesses the weight of the moment was palpable across the venue.

The source went on to emphasise David Beckham’s emotional state saying “He can’t stop crying at the slightest little thing at the moment. He’s being described as completely overwhelmed by what’s happened with Brooklyn. Seeing Cruz perform that song just brought everything to the surface again.”

Additional sources corroborate that the former footballer’s emotions are unpredictable and “incredibly raw” whenever Brooklyn is mentioned.

Some insiders claim he is “no longer himself” and that both David and Victoria Beckham are struggling to maintain composure amid the ongoing family tensions.
