Brooklyn Beckham modelled a new pair of glasses in his latest cooking video after more details about his family feud emerged.
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 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.
Yet the aspiring chef, 26, did not respond to the reports when he took to social media shortly afterwards, instead uploading a video of himself cooking lobster mac and cheese.
In the clip, Brooklyn looked in good spirits as he demonstrated how to peel and boil a lobster before displaying it over a pot of macaroni.
The former photographer also plugged his Cloud 23 hot sauce by wearing one of the brand’s baseball caps in the video.
Brooklyn’s wife Nicola Peltz also took to Instagram to share a snap of Brooklyn cooking for her in the kitchen.
The couple’s posts followed reports that Brooklyn has kept in regular contact with his grandparents – Victoria’s parents Tony and Jackie, and David’s parents Ted and Sandra.
A source told The Sun: ‘Brooklyn absolutely adores them, and knows how much pain this is causing everyone.
‘So he has reached out in his own time, but tried to keep it low-key so as not to drag them into it.
‘Brooklyn is navigating this soul-crushing family feud as best he can but it isn’t easy on anyone. Nicola remains his absolute rock.’
The Daily Mail has contacted Brooklyn’s representatives for comment.
It has also been revealed that he instructed his parents to only contact him through lawyers.
There was an exchange of legal letters between son and parents — or rather, between their respective legal teams at Schillings and Harbottle & Lewis.
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.
