Brooklyn Beckham has broken his cover days after dropping an explosive bombshell statement about his family.

The 26-year-old was snapped alongside wife Nicola Peltz, 31, with the pair seeming to be in good spirits as they walked their dog.


They were spotted in Malibu, California, where they've been staying since Brooklyn delivered the highly-charged Instagram post on Monday, in which he claimed his parents, Sir David and Lady Victoria, have been "controlling" him throughout his life and prioritise "Brand Beckham" over family relations.

He also claimed his mother ruined his wedding by "hijacking" his first dance with Ms Peltz, adding that she danced "on me inappropriately".

A friend of Brooklyn's suggested the aspiring chef has no regrets about his public claims, stating: "He would do it all again in a heartbeat but now he just wants to live his life with the woman he loves," The Mirror reports.

It is understood that the pair spent 30 minutes walking with one of their rescue dogs, laughing and smiling.

Brooklyn's revelation about Victoria's behaviour at his wedding has made her the source of online ridicule, with endless memes poking fun at the alleged incident.

While some reports have contradicted Brooklyn's accusations against his mother, others have corroborated the claims.

Wedding guests have described Victoria embracing her Brooklyn during his 2022 Florida wedding celebration, allegedly pressing her face into his neck while dancing with him on stage.

According to Page Six, the former Spice Girl "wrapped her arms around Brooklyn and nuzzled into his neck" during the reception.

A source told the publication: "She was dancing with him very inappropriately. She took that moment from Nicola, that is the God's truth."

The insider claimed Ms Peltz left the celebration weeping, with her face reportedly becoming swollen from distress.

The insider claimed Ms Peltz left the celebration weeping, with her face reportedly becoming swollen from distress.

Friends of the bride allegedly urged her to return to the reception, though she remained upset throughout the remainder of the evening.

A friend of Victoria has offered a different perspective on the incident, suggesting the fashion designer was simply "a tad tipsy and having fun" during the celebration.

The insider told The Sun there was "absolutely no malice there; quite the opposite," adding that the current situation has "utterly broken her."

Sources close to David and Victoria have indicated the couple are "baffled" by their son's accusations, claiming attendees at the time were thoroughly enjoying themselves.

According to these sources, guests were "having so much fun" and "lapping it up," with nobody expressing concern about the mother-son dance when it occurred.

The same insider suggested Nicola had objected to Brooklyn dancing with his mother at all, claiming she "kicked off about it."

Another wedding guest also came forward to corroborate Brooklyn's account of events at the 2022 ceremony.

Stavros Agapiou, who is married to celebrity DJ Fat Tony and attended the Florida nuptials, responded to a fan video discussing Brooklyn's statement on Monday.

In a comment that has since been deleted from Instagram, Mr Agapiou wrote: "I was there, and she did, he's telling the truth."
