Brooklyn Beckham appears to be missing the UK as he whips up a traditional Shepherd’s pie in his LA kitchen but fans have the same complaint – after urging him to mend fractured relationship with his parents
Brooklyn Beckham appeared to be missing British cuisine as he whipped up a traditional Shepherd’s pie in his Los Angeles kitchen on Thursday.
The 26-year-old aspiring chef shared the clip on Instagram days after seeing a similar video in which fans begged him to mend his broken relationship with parents David and Victoria ahead of Christmas.
Brooklyn, who lives in the US with his heiress husband Nicola Peltz, 30, seasoned and cooked the meat before preparing the vegetables and making the cake with mashed potatoes on top.
However, some followers pointed out that she used ground beef instead of lamb, making the dish more like Cottage cake than Shepherd’s.
‘Lamb in shepherd’s pie,’ they said: ‘Was this beef? Isn’t that summer cake? Shepherd’s pie has lamb’: ‘Beef is village pastry, lamb is Shepherd’s pastry’: ‘If this is beef, it’s not Shepherd’s pie’: ‘The clue is in the name’.
Brooklyn and his wife are at the center of a spiraling family feud that has resulted in them not attending all of the family’s major events over the past year, including David’s 50th birthday celebrations and the knighthood he received last month.
Brooklyn Beckham, 26, appeared to be missing British cuisine as he whipped up a traditional shepherd’s pie in his Los Angeles kitchen on Thursday.
The aspiring chef shared the clip on Instagram days after seeing a similar video in which fans begged him to mend his broken relationship with parents David and Victoria.
He and his wife, Nicola Peltz, have been at the center of a spiraling family feud that has resulted in them being kept away from all the family’s big events for the past year (the family photo was taken last Christmas).
His absence is said to be ‘damaging’ to David, 50, and Victoria, 51, ahead of Christmas; While Brooklyn is expected to spend the festive period with Nicola and her family in Miami, the rest of the Beckham clan are celebrating together in the UK.
Sources close to the couple say their separation is harder than ever, especially after missing out on watching his father receive a knighthood and his team Inter Miami win the MLS title last month.
Fans rushed to her post to advise her to reach out to him before it’s too late, calling: ‘Go and see your family, you’ll regret it later in life’; ‘Talk to your mother!!!’
‘Call your family’; ‘Call your old man’; ‘Call your mother.. you only get one and life is too short!’; ‘Talk to your family; It’s just one life and it’s so precious’.
This comes after his estranged brother Cruz, 20, extended another olive branch to Brooklyn on Sunday by sharing a home video clip of him and Brooklyn during their childhood.
This was his second reference to the phenomenon in as many weeks; The promising musician previously shared a photo of himself with Brooklyn, their father, and their other brother, Romeo (23), on vacation in 2021 with the following caption: ‘I love you guys’.
David appeared to make an attempt to reach out to Brooklyn on social media last week when he shared a throwback photo with his sons.
Alongside a photo of himself and Victoria with their 14-year-old children, Romeo, Cruz and Harper, and this month’s MLS cup, he added a throwback photo of himself with Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz after winning the same cup as a player for the LA Galaxy in 2011 and 2012.
Brooklyn, who lives in the US with his heiress wife Nicola, seasoned and cooked the meat before preparing the vegetables and prepared the pie with mashed potatoes.
However, some followers pointed out that she used ground beef instead of lamb, making the dish more like cottage pie rather than Shepherd’s.
‘Lamb in shepherd’s pie,’ they said: ‘Was this beef? Isn’t that summer cake? Shepherd’s pastry has lamb’: ‘Beef is village pastry, lamb is Shepherd’s pastry’: ‘If this is beef, it is not Shepherd’s pastry’:
After making history by becoming the first person to win the MLS Cup as both a player and owner, he captioned his collage “Permission to cry” as he celebrated the occasion with his family.
Brooklyn’s grandmother, Jackie, said she wanted Brooklyn to come home with his own personalized stockings for the holidays by hanging them on the fireplace with his other grandchildren.
Victoria shared a video of her mom’s festive display, with the same red stockings pinned over the stove, along with Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper’s many cousins.
These included her younger sister Louise’s children, Liberty, Tallulah, Finlay and Quincy, whom she shares with ex-husband Darren Flood.
Insiders claimed the move was a deliberate attempt to send a message to Brooklyn. Sun: ‘They don’t usually display all their Christmas stockings, but for them it’s a way to show how much Brooklyn is missed…
‘How he has a family that loves him, so whatever is said about him and Nicola’s family, this is not the Beckhams’ story…
‘The message they send is that the door is always open and he is always welcome. They would love nothing more than seeing Brooklyn at Christmas, leaving the past behind and starting over in 2026.
‘What about Nicola? They stopped trying to win him back. It may never happen, he may never warm up to them again. They’re focusing on Brooklyn for now.’
Friends of the Beckham family say Jackie and David’s mother Sandra are ‘very upset’ about the separation, which means they can no longer see Brooklyn, especially since they have always been so close.
