Brooklyn Beckham’s latest kitchen video hints at thawing family tensions after David and Victoria's subtle support

Brooklyn Beckham returned to the kitchen this week to show off his culinary skills and appeared to receive a subtle nod of approval from one of his family members.

The 26-year-old aspiring chef posted a video of himself preparing an “amazing” beef Wellington.

In the video shared to Instagram on Tuesday, Brooklyn documented the detailed step-by-step process, seasoning and searing his fillet beef before layering it with mushrooms, prosciutto, and spinach, and wrapping it neatly in pastry.

The former photographer, who is now focusing on cooking content, proudly revealed the golden-brown result, cutting into the dish to show the perfectly pink centre.

Fans were quick to compliment his latest culinary creation, flooding the comments with messages calling the dish “absolutely incredible.”

Among them was one particularly meaningful comment — from his grandmother, Jackie Adams, Victoria Beckham’s mother — who wrote: "That looks amazing Brooklyn. Lots of love xx”.

The family interaction comes just days after both Victoria and David Beckham liked Brooklyn’s recent video making buttermilk pancakes, a move many interpreted as a quiet gesture of reconciliation amid ongoing reports of tension between the Beckhams and their eldest son.

Rumours of a family rift have followed Brooklyn and his wife, actress Nicola Peltz, since their 2022 wedding.

The couple’s absence from several Beckham family events including Victoria’s Paris Fashion Week show, the premiere of her Netflix documentary and David’s 50th birthday, fuelled speculation of distance between them.

However, recent social media engagement from the Beckham parents suggests a thawing of relations may be underway.

Both David and Victoria have continued to publicly support their son’s culinary ambitions, often liking or sharing his cooking posts despite reports of strained family dynamics.

The olive branch comes as Victoria said she’s a “girl’s girl” and you would have be a “real a*****e” for her not to get along with.

Victoria, 51, made the comments on Andy Cohen's radio show on Sirius XM, which have raised a few eyebrows given the rumoured feud between the designer and her son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola.

The comments were in response to Andy asking if Victoria got on with other WAGs early in her career.

“I did,” she said. “I’m a girl's girl. I mean you've got to be a real a*****e for me to not get on with you if you're a woman.”

She continued: “Because I love, I love women, you know, and that's part of the reason why I do what I do with fashion and beauty.”

“I want to empower women. Yes. And I want to share my tips and tricks with women.”
