Brooklyn Beckham enjoyed dinner at Sushi Park in West Hollywood with singer Cody Simpson after missing out on an LA reunion with his dad David.
Now based in the United States with his wife Nicola Peltz, Brooklyn recently outlined his desire to distance himself from his family in a six-page Instagram statement filled with lurid allegations.
And Brooklyn narrowly missed coming face-to-face twice with his estranged dad, for the first time since May, after they both visited the same hotel on Monday. You can read the full story here.
But the eldest Beckham son, 27, brushed off the near miss as he headed to a celebrity hot spot in LA on Friday.
Joined by Australian singer Cody, 29, who released his first album when he was just 15 years old, Brooklyn went for dinner at Sushi Park – an unassuming strip mall sushi spot popular with celebrities.
Brooklyn kept it laid-back for dinner in a simple white T-shirt paired with a dark baseball cap, light brown shorts, and white socks.

Addressing social media followers in January, Brooklyn claimed his parents had tried to sabotage his marriage to wife Nicola and have always prioritised public branding over their family relationships.
‘For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family,’ he wrote.
‘The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.’
He added: ‘Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade.
‘But I believe the truth always comes out.’
Taking to Instagram last week, Brooklyn shared a photo of himself alongside Claudia and Nicola, just hours before the advent of Britain’s Mothering Sunday.
Captioning the post, he wrote: ‘Happy birthday to the best mother-in-law. Love u so much and hope u had the most amazing day.’ Claudia’s birthday fell on March 12.
It seemed a particularly deliberate move considering most in the UK celebrating Mother’s Day would wake up to the post – and Claudia’s birthday was four days ago.
Meanwhile, snaps posted by Nicola, 31, showed the pair celebrating with Claudia Heffner Peltz for her big day. In a tribute, Nicola penned: ‘Happy Birthday to my mom! The pure fact that i get to call you mom makes me truly the luckiest ever.
‘I’m so happy I got to spend your special day with you. I love celebrating you – your light is so bright you make everything better in this world. I love you more than you will ever understand. i hope all your dreams and wishes come true!’
It came as David shared a gushing tribute to Victoria on Mother’s Day morning, featuring a throwback picture of her while she was pregnant.

He captioned the image: ‘Happy Mother’s Day to the most amazing mummy….. You are an inspiration in all the ways a mum should be to our 4 amazing children… We love you so much and I’m so thankful for the family we have created. Have a special Mother’s Day because if there’s one person that deserves it it’s you. I love you @victoriabeckham.’
Brooklyn has grown close with Nicola’s parents and spent last Christmas celebrating with the billionaire brood, including her brother Bradley.
Brooklyn is said to have been ‘disheartened’ that his parents publicly wished him a happy birthday and broke their communication agreement.
The eldest son of Victoria and David turned 27 earlier this month and blasted the ‘performative posts’ which included loving messages, according to reports.
An insider told ET that Brooklyn wants to put an end to any attempt from his parents to contact him, including on social media, following their bitter fallout.
Victoria, 51; David, 50; and his brothers Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 21, all shared heartfelt posts honouring Brooklyn’s birthday, but they were apparently unappreciated.
A source told the publication: ‘Brooklyn and Nicola are disheartened they chose to make public Instagram posts for his birthday. These are the exact type of performative public actions that Brooklyn has been trying to put an end to, to no avail.
‘Last summer they issued a legal letter to his parents requesting that any correspondence go through lawyers.’
