Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz broke cover on Monday – just after the reason he sent a legal letter to his estranged parents David and Victoria was reportedly revealed.
Last week the Daily Mail revealed that Brooklyn instructed his parents to only speak to him through lawyers.
The aspiring chef, 26, said he didn’t want his parents to contact him, or make public statements about him on social media.
It has since been reported that the letter was intended to protect his mental health, as online posts from David and Victoria in which he was tagged or mentioned had affected him.
After the claims Brooklyn and actress Nicola, 31, were seen out in West Hollywood together as he picked her up from a friend’s house in his swanky Porsche.
On the low-key outing Brooklyn kept things casual in shorts and sneakers while Nicola wore a black co-ord and appeared to be wearing a facemask.

It is said that Brooklyn wants any attempts at reconciliation to happen ‘privately’ rather than on social media.
A source familiar with the row told the Mirror that the situation escalated after his ‘requests to stop’ had gone ignored.
‘It had been leading to issues with his mental health….it was to protect himself,’ they told the publication.
The source explained that Brooklyn reportedly believes his parents still see him as a child and not as an adult.
The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Brooklyn and his parents for comment.
The row escalated on Saturday when Nicola wiped all traces of the Beckhams from her Instagram.
In contrast, Brooklyn has not followed suit.
The actress, 31, removed all traces of the Beckham family from her social media after her husband Brooklyn blocked his parents and brothers.
She notably deleted a post which included a birthday tribute to her mother-in-law Victoria, among others.
Brooklyn’s younger brother Cruz previously confirmed that Brooklyn had blocked his entire family on social media following reports they had unfollowed him.

And soon after Nicola made it clear her own family were her priority and sticking by her side as she called them ‘her crew’ and posted sweet snaps with them.
Over the weekend Nicola erased all content of the Beckham family from her Instagram account.
Back in 2024, when Victoria turned 50, she was greeted with a slew of incredibly sweet messages from family, friends and fans alike, with Nicola being one of them.
Nicola penned: ‘Happy birthday to my beautiful mil @victoriabeckham I love you so much and love being your dance partner forever’, to which the Spice Girl swiftly responded: ‘Love you so much!!!!! xxxxxxx kisses xxxxxxx.’
At the time, the post silenced rumours of ill-feeling between the pair, however Nicola has now removed it from her profile.
The Daily Mail has contacted Nicola’s representatives for comment.
Rumours of fallout between the actress and Victoria emerged after Nicola’s multi-million-dollar wedding to Brooklyn in April 2022.
Whispers of ructions launched when it was claimed that Nicola refused to wear one of Victoria’s eponymous designs – instead opting for various designs from Valentino, Christian Dior and Versace.

As the wedding plans were underway, insiders alleged Victoria was displeased with Nicola’s reluctance to involve her in the plans for the lavish affair.
It was claimed the Beckhams took a backseat on the big day – leading to yet more fury from Victoria, with a source telling Daily Mail: ‘The top table was all Peltzs and it really felt as though the Beckhams were not at the forefront…
‘There was a feeling that the wedding was all about the Peltz family, as you can imagine, as it was their house and their daughter and their son making the speeches.’
Nicola later confirmed the rumours had begun after she didn’t wear Victoria’s design. While she denied there was a ‘feud’, she explained that Victoria’s atelier simply hadn’t had time to make the dress, as she insisted: ‘No family is perfect.’
Nicola said: ‘It’s not a feud! I keep seeing everywhere that word, “feud, feud, feud!?” I mean, maybe they picked up on something? And now they’re labelling it feud?’
‘I think it all started, and I’ve said this before, because I didn’t end up wearing Victoria’s wedding dress, but the real truth is, I really, really wanted to wear it and I thought it was so beautiful that Brooklyn’s mom got to make that for me!…
‘And I was really excited to wear it! And I didn’t end up wearing it. But I, truthfully, was really excited to wear her dress. It makes me sad when I read things that people say I was never planning on wearing it. That’s just not true.’
Nicola and Brooklyn were hardly seen with the Beckham family in the months that followed but continually quashed any speculation of a row – until recently.
Last month, Cruz confirmed that Brooklyn had blocked his entire family on social media following reports they had unfollowed him.
In an update, he wrote: ‘My mum and dad would never unfollow their son… Let’s get the facts right. They woke up blocked… as did I.’
The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for Brooklyn for comment on Cruz’s claims.
It was the most public sign yet that there is no communication between them amid their spiralling family feud.
Then, on Thursday, the Daily Mail revealed that relations between the Beckhams broke down so completely last summer that at one point, Brooklyn asked his parents David and Victoria to contact him only via his lawyers.
It was also claimed that despite his feud with his parents, he has been in regular contact with four family members – both sets of his grandparents.
Brooklyn said he didn’t want his parents to contact him, or make public statements about him on social media.
There was no legal action between them – and no legal basis for the letter, which was simply a request.

But it followed what Brooklyn considered to be a series of ‘nasty’ briefings about his wife Nicola, including the suggestion that he was a ‘hostage’ being ‘controlled’ by his wife.
This week, publicists and friends on both sides refused to discuss the matter, still hoping that things will calm down and be resolved.
However, one source said: ‘David was told to speak to them via Schillings. That was the only way for them to communicate.’
The ‘talk to my lawyers’ move might explain why Brooklyn opted to block his parents – and siblings Romeo, Cruz and Harper – on social media just before Christmas.
The family had been viewing and liking his cooking posts. And it was felt this was contrary to Brooklyn’s wish they would leave him and his wife alone.
It comes as Brooklyn appeared to copy estranged dad David while celebrating wife Nicola’s 31st birthday on Friday as their family feud rages on.
He lavished the heiress with a bouquet of white roses, identical to the blooms Victoria was sent by her husband when turning 51 last April.
Brooklyn also treated Nicola to a £5,000 bottle of his mum’s favourite Screaming Eagle wine, sharing a snap of them enjoying a glass with the caption: ‘Special bottle for a special day.’
Back in 2017, Victoria posted her own photo after cracking open a bottle of the wine with David and Brooklyn, before their bitter estrangement.
Meanwhile on Monday David reflected on his ‘amazing’ weekend in the countryside after his daughter-in-law Nicola deleted all traces of her in-laws from her social media.
Following the move, David, 50, took to Instagram as he shared snaps from his weekend in the countryside, away from the noise and bustle of the city.
The dad of four put on a brave face amid the family turmoil as he shared wholesome snaps from his walks in the snow while bringing his dogs along for the stroll.
David could be seen wrapped up in two selfies, wearing a tweed jacket and hat to keep his head warm.
He also held onto his walking stick as he trekked through the blanket of snow at his lavish Cotswolds mansion.
Alongside the snaps, he captioned the post: ‘Amazing weekend in the country and nice and chilly Simba not so happy.’
While fans commented on David’s picturesque view, others mentioned his estranged son Brooklyn.
One wrote: ‘Oldest son, someday he’ll regret (be strong)’; ‘Stay strong papa’;
‘So much peace in the countryside. Nothing like it’; ‘TEAM DAVID’.
