David Beckham enjoys a slap-up lunch at down-to-earth Parisian restaurant – as Brooklyn and Nicola brag about their £17,000 bottle of wine at £9,000-a-night hotel

David Beckham had a simple lunch at a local restaurant in Paris on Wednesday. Meanwhile, his son Brooklyn and wife Nicola Peltz were sharing photos from a recent luxurious vacation, including a picture of a very expensive £17,000 bottle of wine they enjoyed during dinner.

The 50-year-old former soccer player was spotted at La Petite Chaise in Paris during fashion week, where he enjoyed a €28 steak tartare and €8 fries.

Following a surprising public statement where he criticized his family last week, Brooklyn spent the weekend at the luxurious San Ysidro Ranch hotel with his wife, Nicola.

While David enjoyed a reasonably priced lunch, Nicola and Brooklyn’s accommodations were considerably more extravagant. Rooms there cost anywhere from £2,245 to £9,069 per night.

David also had lamb chops for lunch, along with a €15 soup and a €45 beef tenderloin with creamy sauce, which he raved about and shared photos of on his Instagram Story.

David seems to be a frequent customer at the restaurant, as evidenced by a photo of him with an employee that’s pinned to the top of their Instagram page.

This photo was taken last year when David Beckham returned to La Petite Chaise. The restaurant shared a welcome message for him.

Over the weekend, Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz enjoyed a very expensive bottle of wine – costing a remarkable £17,000.

The popular food blogger announced his split from his parents, David and Victoria, last Monday. He shared a detailed, six-page statement about the breakup on social media.

He seemed content to enjoy some downtime with his wife, actress Nicola, at the San Ysidro Ranch – a hotel favored by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle – located in their Montecito neighborhood.

During Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week, where Victoria Beckham received an honor on Monday, Brooklyn and Nicola Beckham took the opportunity to relax at a lavish hotel, with rooms costing between £2,245 and £9,069 per night.

The couple shared details of their luxurious trip to California on Instagram, including a peek at a very expensive and rare bottle of wine they chose. While it’s unknown if they actually drank it, they did post pictures of the wine bottles, which appeared to be aged.

Oh my gosh, the 1831 Château d’Yquem… it’s not just wine, it’s history in a bottle! They say it’s unbelievably rare, a true vintage, and honestly, I’d do almost anything to get my hands on it. It usually goes for around $23,000 – yeah, you read that right! – and the price just soars whenever one comes up for auction because, well, there’s just so little of it left. It’s a dream bottle, honestly, a total obsession!

A rare bottle of wine, once sold at auction for a remarkable £75,000 in 2011, is available. This sale was believed to be the most expensive single bottle of wine ever purchased.

On Tuesday evening, Brooklyn was enjoying a romantic dinner with his wife and their dog, Lamb, and he had two rare bottles of wine to share.

Nicola, age 31, receives a generous monthly allowance of around $1 million from her father, billionaire Nelson Peltz, so finances aren’t a concern for her.

The generous sum she receives is a sharp contrast to the financial help her husband reportedly got from his parents, who both made millions in football and fashion.

Although he’s not as famous as David and Victoria Beckham, Nelson Peltz is actually wealthier. His net worth is an impressive $1.6 billion, compared to the Beckhams’ $680 million.

On the podcast ‘The Rest Is Entertainment,’ Marina Hyde shared that the Beckhams reportedly provide financial support to their son Brooklyn, but it’s not an unlimited amount. They apparently hope he’ll eventually become self-sufficient and independent.

Nelson Peltz might disagree with this report, but sources say he once told someone he gives his daughter a monthly allowance of one million dollars.

Honestly, it’s just so Beckham, isn’t it? I mean, I’ve been following them forever, and the idea that their kids would be the ones needing a prenup… it’s wild! They always seemed so sure their children would be the ones giving the security, not needing it themselves. It’s a total role reversal, and I can’t stop thinking about it!

I’m hearing that Nicola and her husband are having a wonderfully romantic time in Malibu! It sounds like they’re really focusing on each other right now, especially after he recently made the difficult decision to distance himself from his family. It’s lovely to see them prioritizing their relationship and enjoying some much-needed downtime.

David and Victoria Beckham’s oldest son recently shared a critical six-page statement where he publicly accused his parents of being controlling, interfering with his marriage, and causing him embarrassment.

Everyone except Brooklyn Beckham traveled to Paris this week to celebrate Victoria, 51, receiving a prestigious award for her contributions to the arts, but Brooklyn showed his support in a different way.

I was really struck by how quickly Brooklyn posted a video of his Malibu trip. It felt like it happened almost immediately after his family showed a united front at their first public appearance since he publicly criticized them. It’s definitely been a complicated time, and seeing him share those happy moments so soon after everything felt… pointed, honestly.

With Coldplay’s “Yellow” playing in the background, Brooklyn Beckham reaffirmed his love for Nicola Peltz, writing, “I love you Nicola Anne Peltz Beckham.”

Oh my gosh, you guys, I was stalking—I mean, admiring from afar—and I saw them! They were walking their adorable dog, Lamb, along Malibu Beach, and it was just…perfect. Then, I heard they were having dinner somewhere nearby, and later, pictures surfaced of them doing a champagne toast! Seriously, they are relationship goals, and Lamb is the cutest accessory ever!

The Beckhams seemed focused on celebrating Victoria’s honor – a prestigious award from the French Ministry of Culture presented on Monday – and didn’t let any family issues distract from it.

This award honors artists, writers, and cultural leaders for their impact on the arts and literature. Past winners include well-known names like Zoe Saldaña, Selena Gomez, Jude Law, and Denis Villeneuve.

During her acceptance speech, the Spice Girl lovingly thanked her children, saying they always supported her dreams, even after her son Brooklyn recently made some harsh comments about her.

Victoria’s recognition with the Order of Arts and Letters is just the newest event Brooklyn is choosing to ignore, following his recent announcement that he’s completely cut off contact with his family.

The influencer had missed both his father’s 50th birthday and the premiere of his mother’s Netflix series in London.

Notably, both he and Nicola were missing when Beckham, with Victoria, his parents, and their three children, finally received his honor at Windsor Castle on November 4th.

Since Brooklyn publicly explained why he was ending his relationship with his family, they haven’t said anything publicly. They’ve remained silent.

The influencer claimed he was heavily influenced by his family, who prioritized appearing successful over everything else. He also stated that his wife, Nicola, has brought him much-needed calm and helped him overcome severe anxiety.

He wrote: ‘I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private.

My parents and their representatives have repeatedly made statements to the media, so I feel I need to respond and clarify what isn’t true about the things they’ve said.

I’ve decided not to try and make things right with my family. This isn’t about being controlled; it’s about finally asserting my own needs and boundaries, something I haven’t done before.

‘For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family.

I grew up surrounded by showy social media posts, obligatory family gatherings, and relationships that often felt fake.

I’ve recently witnessed how far some people will go to spread lies through the media, often harming innocent individuals, all to maintain a false image. However, I’m confident that the truth will eventually be revealed.

He explained that his parents have consistently tried to sabotage his relationship, starting even before his wedding, and they still haven’t stopped.

Oh, it was a total fashion emergency! My client, Nicola, was so thrilled about a dress my mum had promised to make for her. She’d been dreaming about it! But, right at the last minute, my mum had to cancel – it was heartbreaking. Nicola was left scrambling to find something else to wear with almost no time to spare. It really highlighted how important having a backup plan can be, even for something as special as a custom-made outfit!

In the weeks leading up to my wedding, my parents kept trying to get me to legally change my name – offering incentives and repeatedly pressuring me to do so. This change would have impacted not only me, but also my wife and any children we might have.

They insisted I sign the agreement before my wedding, as that would start the deal’s official process.

‘My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since.’

To make matters worse, he explained that his mother even called him ‘evil’ during wedding planning. This was because he and his wife, Nicola, decided to seat his grandmother, Sandra, and Nicola’s grandmother at their table, as both women were widowed.

‘Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours.

The night before the wedding, some of my family members made it clear that they didn’t consider Nicola to be one of us – that she wasn’t related by blood and therefore wasn’t truly family.

Ever since I began asserting myself with my family, my parents have relentlessly attacked me, both in private and by leaking information to the press.

It was really hurtful when even my own brothers turned on me online, launching attacks before completely cutting me off last summer. It came so unexpectedly, and honestly, it was a tough time.

My mom unexpectedly cut in on my first dance with my wife. We’d carefully planned it for weeks, choosing a beautiful, romantic song.

During our wedding reception, with 500 guests watching, Marc Anthony invited me onstage. I was supposed to have my first dance with my wife, but surprisingly, my mother was there waiting to dance with me instead.

She danced suggestively on me in public, and it was incredibly embarrassing and upsetting. I felt deeply uncomfortable and humiliated.

We decided to renew our vows hoping to create happy new memories of our wedding day, replacing any past stress or awkwardness with joy.

Despite our best efforts, my family has repeatedly shown a lack of respect towards my wife.

My mother has consistently invited women I used to know into our family life, and it’s obvious she’s trying to make both of us feel awkward.

Even though things were difficult, we still went to London to celebrate my dad’s birthday. Unfortunately, we ended up stuck in our hotel room for a week, unable to spend the quality time with him we’d hoped for.

Honestly, it was infuriating! He wouldn’t give us the time of day, not for anything… unless it was at his huge birthday bash, the one with a hundred people and cameras everywhere. It felt so… staged. Like he needed an audience even for a simple hello!

He only agreed to meet with me if I didn’t bring Nicola, which really hurt. Then, when my family visited Los Angeles, they wouldn’t even see me.

‘My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first.

These days, it seems like ‘family love’ is measured by how active you are on social media or how readily you rearrange your life for family photos, even if it means neglecting work or other commitments.

Honestly, I’ve been going to everything for years – every fashion show, every single party, all the press events – just to catch a glimpse of them and show the world what I see: the perfect family. I’ve really made an effort to be there for them, always.

My wife once asked my mother to help rescue dogs affected by the Los Angeles fires, but my mother said no.

It’s a misunderstanding to say my wife controls me. Actually, I’ve been the one controlled for most of my life – by my parents.

I used to struggle with really intense anxiety, it felt like it controlled so much of my life. But honestly, since I made the decision to move away and create my own path, separate from my family, it’s like a weight has been lifted. I haven’t felt this peaceful and free from worry in as long as I can remember.

‘I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief.

My wife and I simply want a peaceful, private life, and happiness for our family – we don’t want to be defined by what people think or what the media says.
