Brooklyn Beckham Joins Godfather Elton John and Wife Nicola Peltz for South of France Yacht Outing

The “Your Song” musician is godfather to Brooklyn and his brother Romeo, as well as a close family friend of the Beckhams

Brooklyn Peltz Beckham is spending time with his godfather, Elton John, amid his ongoing rift with his parents, who are close family friends with the musician.

The 27-year-old son of Victoria Beckham and David Beckham and his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, vacationed with John, 79, in the South of France on July 29, photos obtained by PEOPLE show.

The singer-songwriter — who is godfather to both Brooklyn and his brother, Romeo Beckham— and his husband, David Furnish, were seen spending time with the couple aboard John’s yacht near Nice.

The two couples could be seen sitting around a table together on the yacht, and other photos show Furnish, 63, walking hand in hand with John on land while exploring during their French holiday, while Brooklyn and Nicola, 31, held hands exiting the pop musician’s yacht.

Brooklyn wore a white T-shirt, denim shorts, a white baseball cap and sunglasses during the outing, while Nicola wore a white lacy minidress, nude kitten heels, sunglasses and a patterned shoulder bag.

Furnish also opted for a white tee, jean shorts and hat, while John wore a colorful button-up top, purple shorts and a pair of chunky magenta glasses.

Brooklyn’s yacht outing with his godfather took place as parents Victoria, 52, and David, 51, vacation across the Mediterranean Sea in Formentera, a small island in Spain, with their other three children, per The Sun.

Along with their sons Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 21, and daughter Harper, 15, the couple was joined by Romeo’s girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, for their own yacht vacation, the outlet reported.

Brooklyn is involved in a public fallout with his parents. He has been notably absent from events like Harper’s 15th birthday party in July and David’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in June.

Rumors surrounding Brooklyn’s strained relationship with his family were heightened after he shared a series of bombshell Instagram Stories posts in January, accusing his parents of trying to sabotage his marriage to Nicola, whom he wed in 2022.

Brooklyn claimed in the explosive posts that his parents had been trying “endlessly to ruin” his relationship with Nicola in the name of publicity and valued “public promotion and endorsements above all else.”

He also claimed his parents tried to “bribe” him into “signing away the rights” to his name before his wedding and that Victoria “hijacked” his first dance with Nicola and “danced inappropriately on me.”

“I do not want to reconcile with my family,” he said at the time. “I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.”

Victoria spoke out for the first time following Brooklyn’s claims to the WSJ. Magazine in April. Not naming him directly, she told the outlet, “I think that we’ve always — we love our children so much.”

“We’ve always tried to be the best parents that we can be,” Victoria added at the time. “And you know, we’ve been in the public eye for more than 30 years right now, and all we’ve ever tried to do is protect our children and love our children. And you know, that’s all I really want to say about it.”

David also declined to comment on the “vicious” coverage surrounding his household’s “strife” and the toll it has taken on those close to him while speaking with Variety in June.

“To be honest, I’m sorry to stop you there, but that’s a private matter,” he said at the time, adding, “That’s the one thing that I don’t want to talk about.”
