Another Brooklyn Beckham ex speaks out about his famous family: 'A lot of warning signs'

One of Brooklyn Beckham's former girlfriends has spoken out about his feud with his famous family and the "warning signs" she encountered during the relationship, which caused her "anxiety".

English-born model Hana Cross, who dated the eldest Beckham child for nine months from November 2018, looked back on her time with the family during an interview with Hello!.

"My time with the family caused me a lot of anxiety, in all honesty," she said, per Page Six.

"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."

Cross, 28, grew up in the Cotswolds district, about two-and-a-half hours outside London. She was discovered by a modelling agency at 18 while shopping with her mother, and later moved to London.

She reportedly met Beckham through fashion industry connections in late 2018, when she was working as a model and he was breaking into photography.

They were first photographed together at a British Fashion Awards after-party in London on December 10, 2018, when he was 19 and she was 21.

It thrust the young model into the Beckham family orbit and she admitted this week the fame came with a lot of pressure.

She told the outlet she didn't look back on their nine-month relationship "as a fond time".

"I was only 20, 21 when we dated, and I had just started modelling, and I came from living on a farm to moving to London and being thrown into a relationship like that," she said.

"It's hard to know what's best to do in that situation."

Cross modelled in high-profile campaigns for New Look, Topshop, Nasty Gal, Mango and Bersha.

She has graced publications such as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar and L'Officiel, and modelled for luxury brands Valentino, Missoni, Gucci Beauty and Hugo Boss, while her campaign for Fendi went viral.

Yet despite her own success, she has been forever linked to the Beckham name, with his feud with this famous family, which escalated in January when he released a public statement, reigniting interest in their relationship, despite her desire to "move on" from the chapter in her life.

"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," she said.

While Cross admitted she at first found Brooklyn's spray "shocking", she thought it "summed up a lot of [her] own experiences as well and the way that their family as a brand does act".

After months of speculation about the strained relationship of Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz with his family, Brooklyn took to his Instagram Story in January with a sensational six-page statement in which he said he did not want to reconcile with his family.

He accused his parents of "controlling narratives in the press" through "performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships", and accused his parents of "trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding".

His mother copped the biggest spray. He said she cancelled making Nicola's dress "in the eleventh hour" and later hijacked his "first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song".

"She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I've never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life."

Since then, several of Brooklyn's former girlfriends have spoken out, including singer Tallia Storm, who told The Mirror she was "100 per cent Team Brooklyn", and accused Victoria of interfering in their relationship.

But another of his exes, LA-based model and influencer Lexi Wood, previously spoke out in support of the family.

When asked about the then rumoured feud in 2025, she told the Daily Mail, "I think that you never know what happens behind closed doors [but] all I know is my experience and my experience was amazing.

"My experience was really great."
