Victoria Beckham is “feeling hurt” as son Cruz is “hell-bent” on dropping his famous surname in his music career.

An insider claims Cruz, 19, wants to carve a career in the spotlight away from his mum and dad, fearing people will see him as part of brand Beckham. Cruz is already reportedly set to make an album after signing a management deal on the back of his social media presence.

Cruz is said to “loathe” the idea that he has “bagged a record deal” because of David and Victoria. His mother is also said to be fearful that he will join older brother Brooklyn and relocate to the USA in a bid to break out stateside.

According to Closer, former England star David, 49, has reassured Victoria that their son won’t “go off the rails” should he attempt to conquer the US chart.

The insider said: “Victoria is really concerned about Cruz’s next move because he seems hell-bent on detaching himself from the family in an effort to be a success in his own right. Of course, she understands and is incredibly proud of him for wanting to do it all on his own and not ride on his parents’ fame.

“But she feels he is taking it too far – particularly talk about dropping the ‘Beckham’ from his name and just going by ‘Cruz’. He’s also said to be feeling hesitant about her or David being at his album launch and not wanting them to be involved.

“Victoria is feeling hurt and dismayed about Cruz growing more and more distant from their family unit and rebelling against them – though she does get how important it is for him to attempt to prove himself.”

While details of Cruz’s upcoming album are being kept under wraps, it is understood his parents “spent a fortune” getting it produced. Although Cruz is said to be attempting to enter the world of rock, his mum is no stranger to the charts.

Victoria, 50, had nine UK number one singles with the Spice Girls. Two of their albums – Spice and Spiceworld – topped the album charts.

The Beckhams are said to appreciate how difficult carving their own career has been. Oldest son Brooklyn has previously been mocked online for his attempts to break into the world of photography and cooking.

Last month it was reported by the Mail on Sunday that Cruz split from his music management firm partly over his parents’ insistence he use his famous surname. He left Tap to sign with another firm, C3.

Romeo Beckham meanwhile is following in his father’s footsteps, currently signed to Brentford’s B team. He has previously played for Inter Miami, which is part-owned by his father.

Express.co.uk has approached Victoria’s representatives for comment.
