Brooklyn Beckham’s move from London to Los Angeles has stirred a lot of speculation, especially with his brand-new £11 million mansion raising eyebrows amid a family feud.
But what’s really behind his decision to set up home in LA?
Contrary to the rumors about family drama, it turns out Brooklyn’s choice has more to do with where he feels most at home—and where his and Nicola Peltz’s careers thrive.
A Closer Look at Brooklyn’s LA Lifestyle
Brooklyn, now 26, and his wife Nicola have been at the center of tension with his parents after skipping David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations.
Some thought his big investment in a Los Angeles mansion was a statement, cutting ties with the UK.
However, sources close to Brooklyn say this move isn’t about family conflict at all.
Growing up partly in LA during his dad’s time with LA Galaxy, Brooklyn spent years attending school and building friendships there.
Plus, with both his and Nicola’s careers rooted in Los Angeles, the city naturally feels like home.
The Money Matters Behind the Mansion
What has added fuel to the family fire, though, is the financial side of the new home.
Reports say Brooklyn doesn’t own the entire five-bedroom property; Nicola holds the majority stake.
This has reportedly made David and Victoria Beckham worry that Brooklyn is “trapped,” especially since he signed a strict prenup before marrying Nicola in 2022.
Nicola’s billionaire father, Nelson Peltz, is believed to have contributed heavily through her trust fund to buy the mansion, with Brooklyn adding his savings too. The Peltzs expected the Beckhams—who are very wealthy themselves—to chip in more, and this perceived stinginess has caused some friction between the families.
Family Feud or Misunderstanding?
David and Victoria’s camp have dismissed these claims as nonsense, while Brooklyn’s representatives have also pushed back strongly against the idea that he feels “trapped.”
They emphasize that Brooklyn and Nicola’s marriage is built on love, respect, and commitment, and that twisting their home purchase into a negative story is unfair and hurtful.
Signs of Strain in the Beckham Family
The tension seems to have gone beyond just property and money.
Brooklyn notably didn’t publicly acknowledge Father’s Day, despite his parents posting heartfelt messages.
David shared emotional posts celebrating his role as a father and tagging all his children, including Brooklyn, showing he still hopes to maintain close family ties.
The Kim Turnbull Drama Adds Another Layer
Adding to the drama, Brooklyn’s brother Romeo’s ex-girlfriend Kim Turnbull found herself in the middle of a feud after Nicola allegedly felt uneasy around her.
Kim publicly denied ever having a romantic relationship with Brooklyn, calling the rumors “lies” and clarifying their connection was just a school friendship when they were teenagers.
The Missing Birthday Celebrations
The family fallout hit a peak when Brooklyn and Nicola missed all five of David Beckham’s 50th birthday parties last month, held in cities like Miami, London, Paris, the Cotswolds, and even a boys-only fishing trip to Scotland.
This absence deepened speculation about the couple’s relationship with the Beckham clan.
David Beckham’s Emotional Reflection Amid Honors
Despite the personal tensions, David recently shared his pride and emotions over being knighted for his contributions to sport and charity.
He acknowledged the honor as a special moment for his entire family, though it has come during what he admits has been an emotional period for them all.
