Brooklyn’s yacht outing with his godfather took place as parents Victoria, 52, and David, 51, vacation across the Mediterranean Sea in Formentera, a small island in Spain, with their other three children, per The Sun.

Along with their sons Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 21, and daughter Harper, 15, the couple was joined by Romeo’s girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, for their own yacht vacation, the outlet reported.

Brooklyn is involved in a public fallout with his parents. He has been notably absent from events like Harper’s 15th birthday party in July and David’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in June.

Rumors surrounding Brooklyn’s strained relationship with his family were heightened after he shared a series of bombshell Instagram Stories posts in January, accusing his parents of trying to sabotage his marriage to Nicola, whom he wed in 2022.

Brooklyn claimed in the explosive posts that his parents had been trying “endlessly to ruin” his relationship with Nicola in the name of publicity and valued “public promotion and endorsements above all else.”

He also claimed his parents tried to “bribe” him into “signing away the rights” to his name before his wedding and that Victoria “hijacked” his first dance with Nicola and “danced inappropriately on me.”

“I do not want to reconcile with my family,” he said at the time. “I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.”

Victoria spoke out for the first time following Brooklyn’s claims to the WSJ. Magazine in April. Not naming him directly, she told the outlet, “I think that we’ve always — we love our children so much.”

“We’ve always tried to be the best parents that we can be,” Victoria added at the time. “And you know, we’ve been in the public eye for more than 30 years right now, and all we’ve ever tried to do is protect our children and love our children. And you know, that’s all I really want to say about it.”

David also declined to comment on the “vicious” coverage surrounding his household’s “strife” and the toll it has taken on those close to him while speaking with Variety in June.

“To be honest, I’m sorry to stop you there, but that’s a private matter,” he said at the time, adding, “That’s the one thing that I don’t want to talk about.”
