Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz are said to be considering adoption as they plan to start a family together, according to friends close to the couple.
Sources claim the pair, who wed in 2022, have held numerous discussions about welcoming a child who is not biologically theirs.

| PAA friend told The Sun: "This is a subject Nicola and Brooklyn firmly align on. They both want a brood of children, and for at least one to be adopted."
The insider added that both the 26-year-old and his 31-year-old wife recognise their extraordinarily privileged upbringing and wish to provide opportunities for a disadvantaged child.
Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz have torched their ties to the Beckhams | GETTY"They both know they come from a place of unimagined privilege and therefore strongly want to give back; offer a disadvantaged baby or child the best possible life," the source alleged.
The adoption plans carry particular significance given Brooklyn's ongoing estrangement from his parents, Sir David and Victoria Beckham.
The couple's eldest son has not had any meaningful contact with them for more than eight months, leaving the former footballer and fashion designer facing the possibility of becoming grandparents to a child they may never see.
Friends say the prospect would be devastating for the pair, who have long cherished hopes of welcoming grandchildren.

| GETTY"David and Victoria adore the idea of becoming grandparents," the source revealed.
"As two hugely family-oriented people, it would cut them deep not to have a role in a prospective grandchild's life."
The insider added grimly: "The prospect of reading about an adopted baby on Instagram does not bear thinking about for them, but sadly, it is a very real prospect."
Brooklyn's explosive six-page Instagram statement released last month made pointed references to his "future family" with Nicola, which friends say were deliberate signals of the couple's intentions.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
The eldest Beckham child accused his parents of 'controlling' behaviour | PAIn the lengthy post, he concluded: "My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family."
The statement also levelled serious accusations against his parents, claiming they had "controlled narratives in the press" throughout his life and alleging his mother danced "inappropriately" on him at his wedding.
Sources suggest a biological child may not be immediately possible, as Nicola has reportedly dropped to 90lbs while preparing for her latest film role.
The couple have previously expressed their desire for a large family, with Nicola telling The Times in 2022: "He wants kids yesterday."
Victoria Beckham 'hijacked' Nicola's first dance with her new husband, according to Brooklyn | GETTYThe family rift has manifested physically through Brooklyn's tattoos, with recent photographs revealing he has covered up inkings dedicated to both his parents.
An anchor design on his upper right arm that once prominently featured the word "dad" has been replaced with nondescript shapes, while the accompanying text "Love you Bust" — Sir David's affectionate nickname for his firstborn — has faded significantly.
Brooklyn previously had a chest tattoo reading "mama's boy" concealed beneath artwork depicting Nicola's wedding bouquet.
The timing proves especially poignant given Sir David was spotted in Doha just days earlier with his own "Buster" neck tattoo, inked in 2015 as a tribute to Brooklyn, still clearly visible.
Reports also suggest Brooklyn has drawn lines over tattoos bearing his brothers Romeo and Cruz's names on his fingers.
