THE Beckham brothers are in the "Gen Z version of World War Three" after Romeo and Cruz blocked Brooklyn on social media.
The younger boys are accused of turning their backs on Brooklyn for good, and sending the family deeper into crisis.
Model Brooklyn, 26, and wife Nicola, 30, are said to be "blindsided" after learning of the snub.
A source said: "Blocking or unfollowing someone on Instagram is like the Gen Z version of World War Three. It's a sad new low.
"But the truth is, Brooklyn has cut out his parents David and Victoria from his life and it's the same with Romeo and Cruz.
"Even when the family have reached out to Brooklyn they have been ignored.
"He's not had contact for months and it feels clear to them that he doesn't want to make amends."
The feud, which The Sun understands started over money, has been bubbling for several months.
Yesterday it was initially reported that Brooklyn and Nicola had unfollowed Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20.
But those close to Brooklyn said this was not true.
A friend said: "Brooklyn had no idea until he read about it online. It's possible Romeo and Cruz blocked them, which would make it appear as him no longer following the brothers
"He and Nicola certainly didn't unfollow them or block them — they're as confused as anyone else.
"The first they heard about it was when it was being reported on."
Shortly after Brooklyn learned of his brothers' snub, Romeo reposted Justin Bieber's new song Walking Away on his Instagram stories with the caption: "Yup."

A day earlier Brooklyn posted a photo of him, Nicola and sister Harper for the latter's 14th birthday.
Those close to Brooklyn denied this was partly meant as an olive branch to his parents. One friend said: "There is too much water under the bridge."
Brooklyn had publicly snubbed Victoria on Mother's Day this March, and failed to attend any of David's 50th birthday celebrations in May.
Brooklyn's pal insisted: "Just because he and Nicola love Harper and want to show their affection, it doesn't mean they're trying to make amends with the family."
A separate source said: "Brooklyn was always very close to Romeo and Cruz. They'd stay in touch even as they grew up and started following different career paths and travelling.
"It has been very difficult for David and Victoria to watch their sons grow apart as family means everything to them."
'Low blow'
The Sun understands that incorrect allegations regarding Brooklyn and Romeo's ex-girlfriend Kim Turnbull have caused issues.
Brooklyn was rumoured to have previously dated Kim as a teenager.
This led to speculation that Nicola did not want him spending time with Romeo when he was with Kim. This was denied by all sides.
Last month Kim released a statement saying: "I've avoided speaking on this topic to prevent adding fuel to the fire, however it's come to a point where I feel the need to address it so I can move on.
"I have never been romantically involved in any capacity at any point with the person in question."
Romeo and DJ Kim split shortly before she posted the statement.
Those close to the Beckhams say Brooklyn has not seen or spoken to his family in months.
He flew to London in May to shoot a new campaign with Nicola for clothing brand Moncler.
But he failed to inform his family despite being ten minutes from their Holland Park home.

People close to Brooklyn insisted his schedule did not allow for a meeting. But it is understood David and Victoria were saddened not to have heard from their son.
At the time, a source close to the family said: "It feels like Brooklyn has cut out the entire family.
"Not to contact them when he was in London felt like a low blow." Brooklyn and Nicola, who wed in 2022, have bought a £10.5million home in the States.
Close pals claimed David and Victoria were "tight" and had not helped out financially.
But those close to the Beckhams claimed this was "nonsense," adding: "David and Victoria will always support Brooklyn if and when he needs it."
In May we told how Brooklyn and Nicola dined with Prince Harry and Meghan at their Montecito home — then reportedly hired the same crisis lawyer.
A source added of the rift: "It's all been incredibly painful.
"David and Victoria worship the ground Brooklyn walks on and will always be there for him."
