Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz gave fans a glimpse inside their glamorous weekend with his godfather, Sir Elton John, after reportedly coming within close reach of his estranged parents in Nice.
The 27-year-old aspiring chef, who has been spending time aboard Elton’s yacht, was seen unwinding at the music legend’s expansive £15million villa — a French Riviera retreat that has previously welcomed Victoria and David Beckham.
On Monday, Brooklyn and Nicola posted a series of Instagram updates just minutes apart, offering a peek at their stay inside Elton’s elegant Belle Epoque property.
Elton is known to spend much of the summer at Castel Mont-Alban, his hilltop home overlooking Nice, alongside husband David Furnish and their sons, Zachary, 15, and Elijah, 13.
Nicola wore a crisp white minidress as she posed for selfies around the villa’s manicured gardens, while Brooklyn appeared carefree as he played around on the lawn.
Rather than joining the Beckham family’s traditional holiday aboard their £16million yacht, Brooklyn opted to spend the getaway with Elton instead.

Earlier in the day, Brooklyn and Nicola narrowly missed his parents as he stepped out for ice cream in St Tropez.
Posh and Becks were most recently seen on their yacht in St Tropez, 75 miles away from their son, before enjoying lunch at the Cherry Restaurant – just five minutes from the Barbarac ice-cream parlour where Brooklyn dined.
Brooklyn and Nicola looked laid-back and happy for the trip – seemingly unaware they were in such close quarters to his parents.
Christmas 2024 was the last time the Beckham clan were pictured with Brooklyn and Nicola before they lost all meaningful communication.
During his trip, David appeared deep in thought as he wrapped his arm around his beloved son Romeo.
Before arriving in St Tropez, Victoria and David visited different parts of the Balearic Islands with Romeo on their luxury yacht, Seven.
The Beckhams and Elton have been pals for more than 30 years, with David affectionately calling the musician ‘Uncle Elton’ after the pair became friends in his football heyday.

Yet Elton appears to be pledging an allegiance with Brooklyn and Nicola as they enjoyed a luncheon on the sundeck.
Victoria and David recently followed the World Cup around the US with Romeo and his girlfriend Kim Turnbull, 24, Harper, Cruz, 21, and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 30.
Despite living across the pond, Brooklyn has avoided all family outings amid their ongoing estrangement.
In January, Brooklyn released a scathing six-page statement denouncing his parents and declared he was no longer part of ‘Brand Beckham’.
Brooklyn also claimed David and Victoria had controlled him for much of his life, attempted to drive a wedge between him and Nicola and left him embarrassed when his mother danced ‘inappropriately’ with him during the first dance at his wedding.
He has not acknowledged any of his parents’ birthdays or milestones publicly since their rift began, around the time of David’s 50th celebrations, and failed to share a post for Father’s Day this year.
It was previously reported that Brooklyn was ‘furious’ that his parents had included him in a Father’s Day post and wants them to ‘leave him alone’.
Shortly before Christmas last year, Brooklyn blocked his parents on Instagram, while his lawyers later wrote to the Beckhams’ team requesting all communication be conducted through legal representatives.

The Daily Mail contacted Brooklyn’s representatives for comment at the time.
Earlier this year, Brooklyn was accused of selling his family out for a big sum following the release of his two-part DoorDash commercial.
Five months after declaring that he and his wife Nicola want privacy, Brooklyn was savaged by fans, who branded him ‘classless’ after he collaborated with the food delivery firm for the sponsored video.
In the teaser clip for the advert released on June 15, Brooklyn smirks and says: ‘You’re probably wondering why I’m watching the Fifa World Cup 2026 from home… It’s a long story.’
It has been taken as mocking parents David and Victoria with whom he no longer speaks – and profiting off their name, while friends of the Beckhams have said the pair are ‘devastated and inconsolable’ by the jibe.
