Hana Cross, who dated Brooklyn Beckham from late 2018 to September 2019, has been contacted directly about the book but is not talking yet, according to multiple reports. The book aims to include insights from various figures connected to the family, though it remains uncertain whether Cross will ultimately contribute. Cross's relationship with Brooklyn Beckham placed her in the inner circle of the Beckham family, with her being the only non-family member invited to Victoria Beckham's birthday party in 2019.
According to Metro - Main, Hana Cross described her time with the family as causing her a lot of anxiety, noting that there were warning signs in the relationship that should have made her end it sooner. She also described coming from living on a farm to moving to London and being thrown into a high-profile relationship, which made it hard to know what was best to do, and she wasn't super-open about it. Since the breakup, Cross has not spoken out about Brooklyn or her time with the family until now, according to multiple reports.
The Beckhams won't be happy. Some of their once-closest allies have been contacted. Even members of their family have had a knock on the shoulder to see if they'll talk.
According to Metro - Main, Hana Cross described how the constant press linking her name back to the Beckhams makes it hard to move on. Previous reports claimed she considered speaking out in another exposé but ultimately backed out, with a source indicating she wanted to tell her story but received heavy messages from the Brooklyn side warning her about being indiscreet, so she backed out. Brooklyn Beckham has publicly accused his parents of trying to 'control the narrative' and prioritising 'Brand Beckham' over everything, according to multiple reports.
He claimed his parents attempted to ruin his wedding to Nicola Peltz and pressured him into signing away the rights to his name. Brooklyn is now estranged from his parents and does not wish to reconcile, though the full extent of the tensions and whether reconciliation is possible is unclear. Tensions arose between Hana Cross, Brooklyn Beckham, and his family when he was asked to get her to sign a non-disclosure agreement but refused, according to multiple reports.
Brooklyn was the black sheep of the family, and that would have been her story. There were problems with him and the family even back then.
In another incident, Cross read Brooklyn Beckham the riot act after he sank a few beers at a Yungblud gig in London, leading to a row. Reactions to the book include insights from sources, with one noting that Cross was shocked by Brooklyn Beckham's Instagram outburst but not entirely surprised by its contents. According to Metro - Main, a source described how the Beckhams won't be happy that some of their once-closest allies and family members have been contacted for the book.
Another source described Brooklyn as the black sheep of the family, adding that would have been Cross's story in another exposé. The identity of these sources and their relationship to the Beckham family or Hana Cross remains unknown.
Hana wanted to tell her story, but she had some heavy messages from the Brooklyn side warning her about being indiscreet, so she thought better of it.
My time with the family caused me a lot of anxiety, in all honesty. 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.
I came from living on a farm to moving to London and being thrown into a relationship like that.
No one really knew, and I didn't, really. It wasn't something that I was super-open about, so advice from outside was hard to take.
There's been a lot of press and a lot of talk. I haven't really spoken out about Brooklyn or my time with the family since then; I had that chapter in my life and wanted to move on from it. But with the constant press that comes out, and with my name always being linked back into it, it's hard not to be mentally drawn back into that part of my life, especially with all this feud stuff coming out.
It's hard because I don't look back on that as a fond time, on reflection.
