Father and son David and Brooklyn Beckham are reportedly still at odds, with tensions deepening after Brooklyn’s decision to leave the U.K. behind and settle permanently in Los Angeles with his wife, Nicola Peltz.
A Family At Odds
Brooklyn, who married the influencer and actress in 2022, has now planted roots in L.A., where the couple recently purchased a lavish mansion estimated to cost about $13 million, according to The Blast.
The Sun reports the new property boasts five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a state-of-the-art home cinema, private gym, and a stunning infinity pool.
This isn’t their first Los Angeles property either, suggesting the pair is fully committed to West Coast living. And while the move marks an exciting chapter for Brooklyn and Nicola, it’s also said to have further strained his relationship with his famous father.
Not much detail has been revealed about the new mansion. Prior to the purchase, Brooklyn was living in Peltz’s apartment house hunting, according to Hello Magazine.
Before getting married, the couple had listed their previous L.A. home that is a 7,700-square-foot five-bedroom, five-bathroom, two-half-bath mansion called the OM House, for about $11 million in 2022, having purchased it for $10 million less than a year earlier in 2021, according to People Magazine.
Former soccer player David and his son have not been on good public terms since Brooklyn married Peltz.
At their Palm Beach wedding in April 2022, Peltz was supposed to wear a wedding dress designed by David’s wife, Victoria, which Peltz did not, and the decision was last minute.
With rumors that Victoria felt betrayed, while Peltz felt like the situation was not being dealt with properly, the beef spilled over to their husbands.
The aftermath of the dress scandal has had people speculating on the relationship between David and Brooklyn, with Brooklyn and Peltz being photographed together more often in the United States than in the U.K. People were already suspecting there was a rift.
Between May and June, David turned 50 years old, a milestone celebration that his son was not present for on May 2, and when the famed athlete became a knight — an honor bestowed upon him by the King Charles III — in ceremonies over June 12 through 13 that Brooklyn apparently was unaware of and learned about on social media.
