A newly liberated Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz have emerged on the shores of Malibu for the first time since the eldest son of David and Victoria released a bitterly honest statement pledging he “does not want to reconcile” with his estranged parents.

Brooklyn, 26, and Peltz, 31, were spotted walking their rescue dog Lamb along the shores of the affluent Californian dwelling, with the married pair trading smiles as the amateur chef rested his arm on his wife’s shoulder.

Rumours had circulated for years that Brooklyn’s relationship with his parents had become strained, confirming in his social media essay early this week their rift was due largely to his parents’ disapproval of Nicola and repeated attempts to split the pair.

“My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped,” Brooklyn said.

Peltz — an aspiring actress — is the daughter of billionaire fund manager Nelson Peltz.

The couple married in 2022 at the Peltz’ waterfront estate in Florida, with Victoria having allegedly “hijacked my first dance with my wife”, and cancelling “Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design”.

Brooklyn said he’d been “silent for years” in the hopes of keeping family disputes private, and felt compelled to go public recently due to his parents’ “countless lies” and control of a narrative seeking to “preserve their own facade”.

“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,” Brooklyn explained.

David, a former soccer star and businessman, and Victoria, also known as Posh Spice of the Spice Girls, have cultivated respectable global brands, with Brooklyn claiming their public images do not truly represent the behaviours governing their personal lives.

They are yet to comment on their eldest son’s sensational declaration of disharmony.

 Despite keeping a low profile, they appeared to be in good spirits, spending nearly 30 minutes walking down the shoreline.
