Victoria Beckham Sizzles on Superyacht as David Digs Into Thrilling Reads
SPICE UP THE SUMMER OF LOVE: BECKHAM BROMANCE CRUMBLES AS DAVID AND VICTORIA ENJOY YACHT LIFE WITH KIDS WHILE BROOKLYN REMAINS OUT IN THE COLD
It's a case of "same old, same old" for the Beckhams as they continue to enjoy their sun-kissed summer getaway aboard their £16 million superyacht in Capri. But amidst all the tranquility and romance, the family drama is far from over.
While David Beckham, 50, was too busy getting lost in the pages of psychological thriller "The Crash" by Frieda McFadden to notice his wife Victoria's sunbathing skills, the Spice Girl, 51, was soaking up the rays in a chic black swimsuit, her face shielded from the Mediterranean heat by a massive straw hat. But who needs a tan when you've got Apple earphones and an endless supply of music or audiobooks to keep you company?
The loved-up couple were spotted lounging side by side on sunbeds, chatting and laughing together like they're still in that adorable phase of newlyweds. David even took a moment to strip down to his birthday suit and dive into the sea, showing off those chiseled abs that have been making waves for decades.
But don't be fooled – this family vacation is far from carefree. The Beckhams' summer break comes amidst an ongoing rift between Victoria and David's eldest son Brooklyn, 26, who recently made another thinly veiled jibe at his family during a video with renowned chef Michel Roux Jr.
Brooklyn's snub to his parents is nothing new – the couple was last pictured together on Boxing Day last year, and he's since been keeping a safe distance. His wife Nicola Peltz, 30, has been accused of "isolating" him from both his family and friends, leaving Brooklyn "heartbroken" over the way she's being portrayed.
But it seems like Brooklyn is using this time to focus on his own happiness – or so we thought. During a clip shared to his Instagram page, he couldn't resist taking another swipe at his estranged family, insisting that the only thing worth flying back for was a plate of gammon and chips from the Wigmore restaurant.
The cheeky remark has left many wondering if Brooklyn is using food as a coping mechanism for the pain of his family feud. After all, we know Victoria's been sticking to her trusty steamed fish and vegetables diet for decades – but David's a dab hand in the kitchen, so maybe he whipped up some gammon and chips for the kids?
The Beckham clan has been left reeling after Brooklyn's latest jibe, with sources claiming that no one from the family was invited to his second wedding ceremony with Nicola on August 2. The leak of Brooklyn's speech at the ceremony has only added fuel to the fire – in it, he reportedly spoke "movingly" about his love for the Peltz family and his wife.
But what really gets under Victoria and David's skin is that no such tribute was given to them during the ceremony. A source close to the family told The Scholarly Note: "It breaks Brooklyn's heart to see his wife being painted as this vixen and viper. Everyone seems to forget that Brooklyn is an adult man and fully capable of speaking out. Nicola would have respected all that he chose."
As the Beckhams try to navigate their complicated family dynamics, it's clear that love is in short supply – at least, not between Victoria and David, who seem to be enjoying each other's company despite the drama. But will this summer break be a chance for them to heal old wounds or simply a temporary reprieve from the heartbreak?
Only time (and possibly another plate of gammon and chips) will tell.
