Cruz Beckham shared a gushing tribute to his dad David after the former footballer turned owner opened his Inter Miami team's new Freedom Park Stadium on Saturday.
The youngest son of David and Victoria, 21, took to Instagram with snaps as he toured the venue, after estranged brother Brooklyn was spotted taking a 'tense' phone call amid their ongoing family feud.
Cruz said he 'couldn't be more proud' of his father as he took in the huge new state of the art stadium before sitting in Lionel Messi's pitch side seat.
He penned: 'Dad I really couldn’t be more proud of you, you have inspired me every day to be a better human and have consistently proved that as long as you work as hard as you can you can achieve your dreams,'
Before adding: 'And today you have made history once again, Vamos Miami, see ya tonight'.
David, 50, replied: 'Thank you mate love you so much, but I have one question , what are you doing in Leo's seat ?? @cruzbeckham Love you'.

The youngest son of David and Victoria, 21, took to Instagram with snaps as he toured the venue, after brother Brooklyn was spotted taking 'tense' phone call amid their family feud
While both mum Victoria, 51, and girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 30, posted a string of love heart emojis.
Brooklyn appeared tense during a phone call outside the Sunset Plaza Hotel in West Hollywood on Friday evening and was spotted pacing and animatedly moving his arms during the lengthy conversation.
He cut a casual figure in a black T-shirt and jeans which he wore with a Nike baseball cap and chunky leather boots.
In January, the aspiring chef released an explosive six-page statement aimed at his parents, where he revealed he did not wish to reconcile with his family.
And with the feud showing no signs of ending anytime soon, fans think Brooklyn's wife Nicola Peltz was throwing more fuel onto fire by throwing subtle shade at his mum Victoria in her latest Instagram post.
Taking to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, the actress, 31, showed off her impressive flexibility as she shared a mirror selfie of her doing the splits.
The heiress has undergone four months of intensive training and a strict diet in order to play a ballerina in upcoming film Prima, which saw her drop to under 100 pounds (45kg).
And she proudly flaunted the results of her hard work as she stretched out her legs into a straddle splits position during one training session.

However, fans couldn't help but speculate that Nicola was also making a dig at her mother-in-law with the snap, by trying to one-up Victoria's famous leg pose.
The fashion designer, 51, has become known for striking the signature pose, which sees her thrust her leg straight in the air while reclining, forming a 90 degree angle.
She first demonstrated her flexibility back in March 2016, when she shared a now-iconic snap of herself with her slender leg lifted high up in the air and her stiletto-clad foot pointed gracefully as she lay on a couch casually filing her nails.
And like Nicola, at the time Victoria credited her impressive posture down to ballet training, captioning the snap on Instagram: 'It's amazing what you can do in culottes...those ballet classes are paying off!'.
The mother of four originally trained as a dance instructor as her family wanted her to have a ‘fall back’ career, and studied tap, jazz and ballet at Laine Theatre Arts in Epsom, Surrey.
Speaking about Posh’s pose, Kirsten McCarron, founder of PureBallet dance classes, said: ‘You need to be dedicated to get results like that.

Earlier this month Brooklyn dealt another blow to his devastated parents as he failed to mention Victoria on Mother's Day, though praised his mother-in-law on social media
Taking to Instagram , he shared a photo of himself alongside Claudia Heffner Peltz and his wife Nicola, with the accompanying caption: 'Happy birthday to the best mother-in-law'
‘She has done ballet since she was young, which helps, but for great flexibility you really have to stick at it.’
Earlier this month Brooklyn dealt another blow to his devastated parents as he failed to mention Victoria on Mother's Day, though praised his mother-in-law on social media.
Taking to Instagram, he shared a photo of himself alongside Claudia Heffner Peltz and his wife Nicola, with the accompanying caption: 'Happy birthday to the best mother-in-law. Love u so much and hope u had the most amazing day.'
With Claudia's birthday falling on March 12 - three days earlier - it seemed a particularly calculated move.
The eldest son of Victoria and David turned 27 earlier this month and blasted the 'performative posts' which included loving messages, according to reports.
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.
