Brooklyn Beckham returns to the kitchen amid ongoing family feud

Brooklyn Beckham has returned to the kitchen with his first cooking video since his scathing statement on his ongoing family feud.

The eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham, 26, took to Instagram on Thursday with a new clip of himself preparing his ‘special spaghetti bolognese’.

Donning a grey top and a black snapback, Brooklyn shared the steps he took to create the dish.

The video marks his first cooking post since he released a bombshell statement about his family.

He publicly denounced his family last week in a scathing six-page statement where he accused his parents of 'controlling' him, trying to ruin his marriage and humiliating him.

Among the long list of claims he made was that Victoria pulled out of designing his bride's wedding dress at the 'eleventh hour' and then 'hijacked' the first dance at his wedding and 'danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone'.

Victoria is said to be 'feeling betrayed' by Brooklyn's bombshell statement and dancing revelations after her years spent protecting him from 'dark stories'.

The Daily Mail's Katie Hind previously explained how the Beckhams' camp 'leapt into overdrive in Brooklyn's defence' when stories such as kiss and tells and tales of him being 'involved him with the wrong crowd' surfaced.

His parents have often instructed expensive lawyers to protect him against such stories.

David and Victoria would 'take Brooklyn back in a minute' and are said to be 'horrified' by events this week, according to another source.

The video comes after Brooklyn and wife Nicola towards one another in a series of Instagram posts, where they documented their luxury stay. 

Brooklyn shared some pictures from the wine cellar of the five star hotel, including one of the world's finest, and most expensive dessert wines, worth £17,000 a bottle.

It is not known if the Peltz-Beckhams bought the 1831 Château d'Yquem or the 1811 vintage next to it, which last sold at auction in 2012 for around £75,000.

Although if reports of Nicola's £1million-a-month allowance from her billionaire father are to be believed, they could no doubt afford both.

Whatever they drank, the couple put on a show of unity - and romance - with a new set of Instagram photos of their stay at San Ysidro.

As well as a number of images from dinner, Nicola was also shown lying in bed and walking the grounds with their dog, Lamb. Foodie Brooklyn also shared pictures of the impressive kitchen garden allotment.

More than 5,700 miles away in Paris, Brooklyn's parents David, 50, and Victoria, 51, and siblings Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14, have put on their own show of unity at Haute Couture Fashion Week.

Victoria won the prestigious Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters and praised her family just a week after her eldest son said he will never 'reconcile' with his family, especially after the treatment of his wife and rows over their wedding.

The award recognises the individual contributions of artists, writers, and cultural figures to the arts and literature, and previous recipients include Zoe Saldaña, Selena Gomez, Jude Law and Denis Villeneuve.

And in her acceptance speech, the Spice Girl made a special mention to her children, as she thanked them for 'always believing in my vision', despite Brooklyn's recent vitriolic claims against her.

Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz share photo of the 'world's most expensive wine'

The addition of Victoria's name to the Order of Arts and Letters will be the latest significant family event to be snubbed by Brooklyn, whose recent statement confirmed any residual ties with his family have been severed.

The influencer had previously skipped his father's milestone 50th birthday celebration and the London launch of his mother's Netflix show.

Perhaps more significantly, both he and Nicola were absent as David - accompanied by Victoria, his own parents and three remaining children - travelled to Windsor Castle for his long awaited investiture on November 4.

The family have maintained a stoic silence since Brooklyn released a damning statement in which he outlined his reasons for cutting ties with his family.

Brooklyn Beckham's statement in full  

I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.

I do not want to reconcile with my family. I'm not being controlled, I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life. For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.

Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they'll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.

My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn't stopped. My mum cancelled making Nicola's dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress. 

Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children.

They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated. My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since. 

During the wedding planning, my mum went so far as to call me "evil" because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra, and Nicola's Naunni at our table, because they both didn't have their husbands. Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours.

The night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was "not blood" and "not family." Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I've received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders.

Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last Summer. 

My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song. In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead. 

She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I've never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life. We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment.

My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we've tried to come together as one. My mum has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable.

Despite this, we still travelled to London for my dad's birthday and were rejected for a week as we waited in our hotel room trying to plan quality time with him. He refused all of our attempts, unless it was at his big birthday party with a hundred guests and cameras at every corner.

When he finally agreed to see me, it was under the condition that Nicola wasn't invited. It was a slap in the face. Later, when my family travelled to LA, they refused to see me at all.

My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first. Family "love" is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo opp, even if it's at the expense of our professional obligations.

We've gone out of our way for years to show up and support at every fashion show, every party, and every press activity to show 'our perfect family.' But the one time my wife asked for my mum's support to save displaced dogs during the LA fires, my mum refused.

The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards. I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared.

I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief. My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family."
