While the headlines have been dominated by Brooklyn Beckham’s explosive fallout with his famous parents, the young father seems determined to leave the drama behind and soak in some peace with his actress wife, Nicola Peltz.
The couple recently indulged in a lavish trip to California, savoring one of the rarest and priciest wines in the world, showing that luxury can sometimes be the perfect antidote to family tension.
Brooklyn, 26, officially confirmed last week that his relationship with David and Victoria Beckham is over in a detailed six-page statement, which he shared widely across social media.
The confession, filled with allegations and personal revelations, made it clear that the estrangement is serious.
Yet, just days later, Brooklyn appeared relaxed and carefree, enjoying quality time with Nicola at the San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito—a retreat famously favored by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Indulging in the World’s Most Expensive Wine
The couple’s getaway offered no shortage of extravagance.
Brooklyn and Nicola treated themselves to the legendary 1831 Château d’Yquem, a wine with a historic pedigree.
While an average bottle can cost around $23,000 (£16,687), a rare auctioned 200-year-old bottle once sold for an astonishing £75,000, earning it the title of the world’s most expensive wine.
Instagram glimpses showed the couple enjoying a romantic dinner with their dog Nala, two dusty bottles of the nearly impossible-to-find vintage at their disposal.
Clearly, finances aren’t a concern for the Peltz-Beckham household.
Nicola, 31, reportedly receives a monthly allowance of $1 million from her billionaire father, Nelson Peltz, highlighting a stark contrast to the more modest support Brooklyn received from his own parents.
A Tale of Two Billionaires
While the Beckhams are undeniably wealthy, with a combined net worth of roughly $680 million, Nelson Peltz’s fortune eclipses theirs at an estimated $1.6 billion.
Speaking on The Rest Is Entertainment podcast, commentator Marina Hyde explained that the Beckhams likely wanted Brooklyn to be independent rather than fully reliant on their wealth.
Meanwhile, Nicola enjoys financial freedom from her father that surpasses even that of her husband, illustrating the different worlds they came from.
Luxury Retreat with Celebrity History
San Ysidro Ranch is more than just a luxurious escape; it’s steeped in celebrity and history.
The property has hosted Hollywood stars like Sandra Bullock, Julia Roberts, and Gwyneth Paltrow, as well as political figures including Winston Churchill and John F. Kennedy.
Its connection to Harry and Meghan adds a layer of intrigue—Prince Harry famously gave his tell-all CNN interview here, while Meghan posed for a Variety shoot and discussed her bond with the late Queen.
Brooklyn and Nicola’s choice to stay at the same hotel draws interesting parallels between their own high-profile family conflicts and those of the Sussexes.
It’s a place known for privacy, glamour, and a touch of royal drama—perfect for a couple looking to relax away from the spotlight.
Brooklyn’s Possible Memoir Plans
The Malibu retreat may also be more than a vacation—it could be inspiration.
Sources suggest that Brooklyn has a book deal in the works, modeled after Harry’s memoir Spare, chronicling his experiences growing up under the Beckham brand and the tension with his parents.
The idea is reportedly designed to capitalize on the same audience and publishing success that made Harry’s book a global bestseller.
Nicola’s Career and Personal Triumphs
Nicola, who has been acting since 2006, has gradually built a diverse portfolio, including roles in The Last Airbender and Transformers.
She recently stepped into writing and directing with her film Lola and continues to promote her latest thriller, Pretty Ugly.
Her growing career, combined with her substantial allowance, provides her and Brooklyn with a unique blend of independence and luxury.
Malibu Romance Amid Family Fallout
Brooklyn’s recent Instagram posts showcased romantic strolls along Malibu Beach with Nicola, dinners, champagne toasts, and moments with their dog Lamb.
Despite his recent six-page statement exposing family conflicts, Brooklyn appeared carefree and devoted, reinforcing his public declaration of love: “I love you Nicola Anne Peltz Beckham.”
Meanwhile, Victoria Beckham received a prestigious accolade, being made a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters in Paris.
She acknowledged her children in her acceptance speech, emphasizing her appreciation for their support despite the recent upheaval.
Brooklyn’s absence at the event—and his choice to focus on his new life with Nicola—illustrates just how far the family rift has driven him.
The Beckham Family Fallout Continues
With Brooklyn publicly severing ties and Nicola firmly by his side, the couple’s luxury getaway has become a statement of independence and resilience.
Whether it’s sipping £75,000 bottles of historic wine, walking along Malibu Beach, or planning a revealing memoir, Brooklyn and Nicola are clearly charting their own path, separate from the Beckhams’ glittering but complicated world.
