Brooklyn Beckham has once again fueled speculation over his ongoing family estrangement after stepping out with wife Nicola Peltz and her relatives in New York while the Beckham family rallied together following England's FIFA World Cup semi-final exit.
The 27-year-old was photographed embracing Nicola's brother, Brad Peltz, outside a sushi restaurant before the family gathering.
Brooklyn appeared relaxed as he spent the evening with the Peltz family, reinforcing his close relationship with his wife's relatives amid reports of continued tensions with his own family.
His outing came just hours after England's dramatic semi-final defeat to Argentina, a match that left David Beckham visibly emotional in the stands.
According to Daily Mail, son Cruz Beckham was seen consoling the football icon with a heartfelt hug after the final whistle, earning widespread praise from fans for supporting his father during the difficult moment.
David later shared a message on social media thanking England's players and supporters despite the heartbreaking loss, while Victoria Beckham, Romeo Beckham and daughter Harper also attended the match.
Moreover, Brooklyn was notably absent from the family gathering.
The latest sighting adds to months of public speculation surrounding Brooklyn's strained relationship with his parents, David and Victoria Beckham.
The eldest Beckham son has missed several high-profile family occasions, including Harper's recent birthday celebrations, choosing instead to spend time with Nicola and her family.
