Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz by cosying up to and amid their bitter feud. The Beckhams have been rocked by the fractious relationship with their eldest son.

He failed to join in David's 50th birthday celebrations, in a move that left the former footballer "devastated" and solidified a rift. Now, even more strain has been put on their relationship as decided to in Montecito, California.

Amid the fallout, Brooklyn and Nicola and now have officially rubbed shoulders with each other. It was claimed Harry, who is also at loggerheads with his father, and brother , was

They were reportedly invited to Prince Harry and Meghan's mansion in Montecito last week, just days after David's birthday celebrations. The meeting is even more sour for David and Victoria,

Posh and Becks were even on the guest list for the royal wedding in 2018 and Victoria supported Meghan as she adjusted to life in the UK. She reportedly gave the royal her "little black book" of contacts while Harry had David join his Invictus Games.

However, it has been said David and Victoria could find some comfort in the fact the soiree was not as cosy as first reported. There were many other guests in attendance, according to sources.

The gathering was instead hosted by CEO of television company Paramount and Nickelodeon Brian Robbins and his wife Tracy, who are Harry and Meghan's neighbours.

According to the there were over 20 people at the party that was actually held at Robbins' $17m villa. Harry and Meghan were flown into the bash in a private jet courtesy of Paramount Pictures.

There has been plenty of speculation as to how Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, landed themselves on the guestlist. Reports claim it all boils down to David, who is starring in football chat show Beckham & Friends Live on Paramount+.

"His wife Nicola is older and confident in her own right, and so there is distance between Brooklyn and his parents."

They added: "It has become a problem and not something they can keep private because of the way the family uses social media. Things have escalated in recent months, and there is a very obvious rift that David and Victoria would love to heal."
