A smiling Brooklyn Beckham whisked his wife Nicola Peltz off for dinner in Beverly Hills on Wednesday, a week after he publicly denounced his family.
The eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham, 26, looked very happy with himself as he held hands with the actress, 31, at Japanese restaurant Matsuhisa.
Brooklyn severed all ties with his family in his scathing six-page statement, where he said he has no wishes to reconcile with his parents and called them ‘controlling and manipulative’.
It certainly looked like a weight had been lifted off Brooklyn’s shoulders, after he revealed he had ‘stayed silent for years’ on Brand Beckham.
The couple, who fled in the midst of the furore to $2,595 a night hotel, the San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, put on a loved-up and united display as they made one of their first public outings.
Dressed in a white shirt, jeans and a light brown jacket, Brooklyn cut a casual figure alongside Nicola, who looked stylish in a black halterneck top, indigo jeans and towering heeled stiletto boots.

The couple’s outing comes after they shared their devotion towards one another in a series of Instagram posts, where they documented their luxury stay.
Brooklyn shared some pictures from the wine cellar of the five star hotel, including one of the world’s finest, and most expensive dessert wines, worth £17,000 a bottle.
It is not known if the Peltz-Beckhams bought the 1831 Château d’Yquem or the 1811 vintage next to it, which last sold at auction in 2012 for around £75,000.
Although if reports of Nicola’s £1million-a-month allowance from her billionaire father are to be believed, they could no doubt afford both.
Whatever they drank, the couple put on a show of unity – and romance – with a new set of Instagram photos of their stay at San Ysidro.
As well as a number of images from dinner, Nicola was also shown lying in bed and walking the grounds with their dog, Lamb. Foodie Brooklyn also shared pictures of the impressive kitchen garden allotment.
More than 5,600 miles away in Paris, Brooklyn’s parents David, 50, and Victoria, 51, and siblings Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14, have put on their own show of unity at Haute Couture Fashion Week.
Victoria won the prestigious Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters and praised her family just a week after her eldest son said he will never ‘reconcile’ with his family, especially after the treatment of his wife and rows over their wedding.

The award recognises the individual contributions of artists, writers, and cultural figures to the arts and literature, and previous recipients include Zoe Saldaña, Selena Gomez, Jude Law and Denis Villeneuve.
And in her acceptance speech, the Spice Girl made a special mention to her children, as she thanked them for ‘always believing in my vision’, despite Brooklyn’s recent vitriolic claims against her.
The addition of Victoria’s name to the Order of Arts and Letters will be the latest significant family event to be snubbed by Brooklyn, whose recent statement confirmed any residual ties with his family have been severed.
The influencer had previously skipped his father’s milestone 50th birthday celebration and the London launch of his mother’s Netflix show.
Perhaps more significantly, both he and Nicola were absent as David – accompanied by Victoria, his own parents and three remaining children – travelled to Windsor Castle for his long awaited investiture on November 4.
The family have maintained a stoic silence since Brooklyn released a damning statement in which he outlined his reasons for cutting ties with his family.
The influencer went as far as to say he has been ‘controlled by a family that values public promotion above all else’ and that since being with his wife Nicola, he has found ‘peace and relief’ after battling crippling anxiety.
