Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz almost crossed paths with his parents in Saint-Tropez

Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz were staying on Elton John’s yacht in Saint-Tropez when they decided to walk into town for ice cream on Thursday, accompanied by David Furnish and other close friends. Simultaneously, David and Victoria Beckham were seen dining at a nearby restaurant, accompanied by basketball legend Michael Jordan and his wife Yvette Prieto. The two groups were only a short walk apart, creating a potentially awkward proximity despite the family’s strained relations.

Brooklyn has been absent from the Beckham family’s annual yacht trip, which this year included his brothers Romeo and Cruz, sister Harper, and Romeo’s girlfriend Kim Turnbull. The tension stems from a public Instagram rant Brooklyn posted in January and a failed reconciliation attempt by Harper in June. The incident underscores the continuing feud within the high-profile family.
