Cruz and Romeo Beckham appear to have taken a swipe at their estranged brother Brooklyn, as they hit Paris with their girlfriends on Monday.
Taking to TikTok, the youngest Beckham boy, 20, was joined by his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, alongside brother Romeo, 23, and his partner Kim Turnbull as they filmed themselves in a car alongside the caption: 'Imagine hating and we’re just here like'.
The sweet display of brotherly love comes in stark contrast to 26-year-old Brooklyn's profession of his feelings towards his parents, who he denounced last week in the shocking statement and blasted his family's 'inauthentic' way.
The aspiring chef published a scathing six-page statement about his family where he said he has no interest in reconciling with them, including dad David, yet his brothers Romeo and Cruz, and sister Harper, 14, have been kept out of his narrative.
Despite this, Cruz seemed keen to make the statement through his playful Instagram post about resistence towards haters.

Cruz, Jackie, Romeo and Kim have been inseparable during their Paris trip for Fashion Week, with the foursome enjoying dinner over the weekend.
After his TikTok went live, Cruz was later seen hitting the streets in a trendy ensemble comprising an over-sized leather bomber hacket and huge tan bag.
By his side was his stunning girlfriend - who is 10 years his senior - as she strutted in the Parisian streets in a blazer dress and black tights.
Last week, Cruz threw his support behind his mum Victoria as the British public launched a campaign to propel the star to number one.
After Brooklyn broke the internet with his allegations - including a bizarre claim that Victoria 'danced inappropriately on him' at his wedding - Posh Spice fans rallied to get the star her first ever solo spot on the charts.
In the wake of a huge campaign among her fans, on Thursday afternoon Victoria bagged her first ever solo number one - with her 2001 single Not Such An Innocent Girl has shot to number one on the iTunes chart in the UK and Ireland.
Taking to his Instagram stories, Cruz shared a picture of a drink while subtly adding Not Such An Innocent Girl over the top as the song soared the charts.

Days after Brooklyn's scathing six-page statement announcing he would not be reconciling with his parents, Victoria has the last laugh as an extraordinary social media campaign has given one of her solo songs a huge chart boost.
Victoria's 2001 single Not Such An Innocent Girl has shot to number one on the iTunes chart in the UK and Ireland.
The chart positions have been driven by a campaign which is determined to 'fix the national tragedy' that 'Victoria is the only Spice Girl without a solo #1.'
'Nothing says "British Culture" like collectively deciding to send Posh to the top of the charts because her son roasted her on Insta. Imagine both their faces,' reads a viral post on Instagram which has been shared by the likes of Katherine Ryan and Luisa Zissman.
The Instagram account Our_dream_house writes: 'I've seen more VB music promo in the last 24 hours than in the last 20 years and I am obsessed. Let's get her that #1 for the plot twist of the year.
Back in Paris, the two couples appeared to be closer than ever and putting on a united front as they all celebrated Romeo's appearance at the Willy Chavarria fashion show, in which he appeared as a model.

Brooklyn's humiliating post accused his parents of prioritising 'Brand Beckham' over all else and his mother of 'hijacking' his and his wife's first dance at their 2022 wedding and dancing with him 'inappropriately'.
He went on to accuse them of 'disrespecting' his wife and being concerned with 'promotion and endorsements above all else'.
He slammed the 'performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships' that had been a 'fixture of the life I was born into'.

Victoria, meanwhile, turned attention away from the family beef when she shared a snap while celebrating her bandmate Emma Bunton's milestone birthday.
Sharing a snap showing her with fellow Spice Girls Geri Horner, Mel C and Emma, she set tongues wagging away from her family woes.

Brooklyn Beckham's statement in full
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."
