Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz have been spotted in public for the first time since it was reported he sent a formal legal letter to his parents, David and Victoria Beckham.
Casual Outing Amidst Family Tensions
The couple were seen heading to their car during a low-key outing in Los Angeles. Brooklyn, 26, opted for a casual look of shorts, a white t-shirt and trainers. His wife, the billionaire heiress Nicola Peltz, 31, wore an all-black tracksuit and oversized sunglasses, appearing to keep her head down as she walked with her phone in hand.
This sighting comes just days after news broke that the amateur chef had instructed lawyers to contact his famous parents. The reported letter warned David and Victoria to cease all direct contact with him and to communicate only through legal representatives.
The Legal Request and Mental Health Concerns
According to sources close to the situation, the drastic step was taken to 'protect his mental health' after previous requests for space were ignored. The family rift is said to have begun in May 2025, around the time of David's 50th birthday celebrations, from which Brooklyn was conspicuously absent.
Since then, Brooklyn and Nicola have missed a string of major family events, including both parents' birthdays and Sir David's knighthood ceremony last year. The couple also chose to renew their wedding vows without any of Brooklyn's immediate family present.
Insiders claim David, 50, and Victoria, 51, were 'devastated' by the legal request from their eldest son. Friends of the couple say their continued attempts at contact via social media—such as Victoria liking a post or David sharing nostalgic childhood photos—stem from a 'desperate' hope for reconciliation.' A source stated: "They are only doing what every parent would do in this situation…they love Brooklyn deeply and will always be there for him."
A Public Feud with No End in Sight
Despite the public pleas, Brooklyn is said to have been annoyed by these gestures. The legal letter explicitly warns against any contact, direct or indirect. One source familiar with the feud emphasised that Brooklyn's mental health is the priority, justifying the formal warning after informal pleas failed.
While the Beckhams are described as heartbroken, they reportedly refuse to give up. "David and Victoria will never give up trying to secure a reconciliation between them and their son," an insider said. "Nothing will change that, and they live in hope. He will always be their son, and they are not going to stop putting on record their feelings."
For now, the standoff continues, with Brooklyn and Nicola maintaining their distance in Los Angeles as the Beckham family navigates one of its most public and painful disputes to date.
