Brookyln Beckham’s ex-girlfriend Hana Cross shocked fans around the world with her most candid confession against the Beckham clan, almost seven years after her relationship with David and Victoria’s son ended.
She said all this while chatting Hello! magazine and her conversation was incredibly candid and shared some shocking parallels.
She started by saying, “My time with the family honestly caused me a lot of anxiety. There were a lot of warning signs and things that happened during the relationship that, in retrospect, should have made me think twice and maybe end the relationship or walk away from it much sooner than I did.”
For those unfamiliar with their history, the couple split in 2019 and when asked about the relationship itself she called it a “fun time” but admitted there was a lot of pressure from the Beckham job as a whole.
She was also quoted saying, “I was only 20, 21 when we dated, and I had just started modeling, and I came from living on a farm to London and ended up in a relationship like that. It’s hard to know what’s the best thing to do in that situation.”
“With the constant press coming out, and having my name always linked to it, it’s hard not to get mentally drawn back into that part of my life, especially with all this feud stuff coming out.”
What did Brookyln Beckham say about his David & Victoria?
He released this statement in an Instagram Stories update, reading: “I have been silent for years and have done everything I can 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 just some of the lies that have been printed. I do not want to reconcile with my family. I am not being controlled, I am standing up for myself for the first time in my life.”
“Throughout my life, my parents have controlled the press stories about our family. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been part and parcel of the life I was born into. Recently, I have seen first-hand the lengths they will go to plant countless lies in the media, usually at the expense of innocent people, to maintain their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.”
“My parents tried endlessly to ruin my relationship even before my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped. My mother canceled the making of Nicola’s dress at 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 tried to bribe me into giving up the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife and our future children. They were adamant that before my wedding date, because the terms of the My delay affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since. During the wedding planning, my mother 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 had no husbands.
“The night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was ‘no blood’ and ‘no family’. Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I have received endless attacks from my parents, both private and public, sent to the press at their behest. Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media, before finally blocking me out of nowhere last summer.”
“My mother hijacked my first dance with my wife, which was planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song. In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where my romantic dance with my wife was scheduled to be, but instead my mother waited to dance with me instead. She very inappropriately danced on me in front of everyone. I have never felt so uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life. We wanted to exchange our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not fear and shame.”
“My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we have tried to get together. My mother has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in a way that was clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable.”
“Despite this, we traveled to London for my father’s birthday and were rejected for a week as we waited in our hotel room to plan some quality time with him. He refused all our attempts unless it was at his big birthday party with a hundred guests and cameras on every corner. When he finally agreed to see me, it was on the condition that Nicola was not invited. It was a slap in the face. Later, when my family traveled 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 determined by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo, even if it comes at the expense of our professional commitments. For years, we have gone out of our way to show up and support every fashion show, party and press activity to show off ‘our perfect family’. But that one time my wife asked for the My mother asked for support to rescue displaced dogs during the LA fires, my mother refused.”
“The story 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 fear. For the first time in my life, since renouncing my family, that fear has disappeared. I wake up every morning grateful for the life I have chosen and have found peace and enlightenment. My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press or manipulation. We only want peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.”
