Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz seem to be establishing their own dream life away from the Beckham family, according to the Daily Mail.
The couple has recently purchased their first home together, a luxurious $16 million mansion in an exclusive Beverly Hills neighborhood, as a bold statement amidst ongoing family tensions.
The impressive six-bedroom, seven-bathroom estate is located in the celebrity-laden Trousdale Estates, a neighborhood also home to stars like Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lawrence.
What’s more, the lavish new home puts them steps away from Brooklyn’s famous godfather, Elton John, who owns two properties on the same street.
The move, however, could potentially deepen the bitter rift with his parents, David and Victoria, who are still very close to the British singer.
In fact, earlier this week Elton himself sparked speculation that he may have picked sides in the drama after publicly congratulating Brooklyn and Nicola on their three-year wedding anniversary on Instagram.

The prime piece of real estate – bought in December – marks a major milestone for the couple, who were previously living in a luxury Century City apartment owned by Nicola’s mother Claudia.
As is typical for the rich and famous, the property wasn’t purchased under their names, but via a newly formed LLC linked to Nicola’s entertainment attorney, Robert Benun, DailyMail.com has learned.
The LLC also lists David Basner, the CEO of New York-based wealth management firm Tag Associates, which counts Nicola’s billionaire father, Nelson, as a client.
Since there is no mortgage attached to the property, it means the 6,231 square foot home was paid for in cash.
But it also suggests Nicola’s father – who made his multi-billion-dollar fortune as an activist investor and who owns properties across Palm Beach, New York, and Los Angeles – was likely the financial power behind the purchase.
Brooklyn, whose career resume has ranged over the years from photography to cooking most recently launched hot sauce brand, Cloud 23, though the venture is unlikely to be lucrative enough to stump up such a huge sum.

Meanwhile, wife Nicola, an actress and filmmaker who has had roles in Transformers and Bates Motel, last year directed her first film, Lola, which raked in only $648 at the box office, according to IMDB.
According to property records, the home, which features a swimming pool, fitness center, home theater, and bespoke Italian features, was originally listed last year for $19million – meaning the couple scored a deal by paying $3million under asking price.
Longtime family friend Elton has owned a property on the same road for 13 years, and in September 2024 purchased the home next door for $8.5million.
The rundown house was later razed to the ground before being transformed into a sleek single-story white mansion, complete with pool, and could be used as a guest house.
Meanwhile, the Beckhams, who have been friends with Elton for 30 years, remain in the UK as tensions within the family continue to simmer.
Sources close to the couple claim that Victoria and David have been deeply worried by their son’s level of infatuation with Nicola.

The couple’s proximity to Elton John could potentially deepen the rift between them and Victoria and David Beckham, who have been close friends with the British icon for over 30 years
Rumors of a rift between the eldest Beckham son and his parents began when Brooklyn was noticeably silent on his former Spice Girl mother’s birthday in April.
Neither Brooklyn nor his wife wished Victoria a happy 51st birthday, while dad David, and his younger brothers Romeo and Cruz posted gushing messages.
Then, for his father’s 50th birthday last month, Brooklyn once again snubbed his dad online and was also was absent from all of his birthday celebrations – including a boys’ fishing trip.
Despite flying to London at the time, Brooklyn and Nicola also didn’t attend the big family party at the Beckhams’ Cotswolds home or an idyllic trip to France or a meal at Notting Hill restaurant, Core.
Last month, there was further evidence of the irreparable nature of the rift when Brooklyn and Nicola jetted to the UK from their home in Los Angeles for a joint photoshoot with Italian luxury fashion brand Moncler.
It took place less than two miles away from the Beckham family home in Holland Park, west London.

Taking to Instagram on Monday, Brooklyn shared another gushing post about his wife as he marked five years since proposing to the billionaire heiress, 30.
‘It’s been 5 years since I asked this beautiful woman to marry me xx best decision ever x I love you so much ❤️,’ Brooklyn wrote.
While there were no social media likes from his parents, one of the top comments is from his godfather Elton who tagged the pair and wrote ‘Happy Anniversary to the sweetest, most loving couple.’
