Brooklyn Beckham's ex shares thoughts on his father David being one of world's 'sexiest men'

Brooklyn Beckham’s ex-girlfriend Lexi Wood has shared her thoughts on his father David being one of the world’s “sexiest men”.

The football legend, 50, was named People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2015, prompting him to jokingly thank his parents, his hairdresser, and even Photoshop for the title.

Summer House star Wood, who dated Brooklyn in 2018 when she was 20, shared her thoughts on his dad’s sex symbol status amid rumours of a feud in the famous family.

The model, 26, opened up about the Beckhams during an appearance on The Viall Files podcast and addressed speculation about what they’re really like.

When asked if it was weird that David was one of the world’s “sexiest men”, she laughed and replied: “He was just always Brooklyn’s dad. I feel like immediately I didn’t think anything of it. Then he was just his dad.”

Wood was equally diplomatic when asked who was more intimidating between Victoria and David, saying: “They were just both lovely.”

She reflected on her sense of ease around famous families after dating Brooklyn and Presley Gerber - the son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber - in 2022.

She said she had “never been on dating apps. I genuinely just meet people through friends.” She explained that she met Brooklyn through mutual connections.

Discussing their families, the Bravo star added: “It’s so funny because those are the types of families that I’m used to.

“Like, families that are in the industry, that give each other advice, work with each other where they can, like that are so close, travel together, live together, they do so much together.

“That mindset is your family has your back, period. I do feel like those families are great.”

Since dating Wood, Brooklyn has married US actress Nicola Peltz, 30, and they live together in Los Angeles.

The couple has sparked speculation that they’re feuding with his famous family, having avoided Victoria’s 51st birthday last month and snubbed David’s lavish 50th birthday celebrations last week.

Tensions reportedly flared over his brother Romeo’s relationship with Kim Turnbull, who was close to Brooklyn when they were teenagers and dated his friend Rocco Ritchie.

Brooklyn allegedly questioned the model’s motives for dating his younger brother and he and Romeo, 22, stopped speaking, according to TMZ.

The budding chef and his actress wife Nicola now allegedly refuse to attend any family event where Kim is present.

Brooklyn raised eyebrows when he failed to attend Victoria’s birthday celebrations in Miami.

The former Spice Girls star enjoyed a luxurious yacht trip with David and their children - Romeo, son Cruz, 20, and daughter, Harper, 13.

Similarly, neither David nor Victoria posted congratulations online when Brooklyn and Nicola marked their third wedding anniversary.
