Brooklyn Beckham gets back to the grind: Glum hot sauce salesman joins Nicola Peltz shopping and heads for a family lunch with the in-laws
The budding chef, 26, and his in-laws have returned to the US after narrowly avoiding a run-in with Brooklyn's family amid their ongoing rift.
It comes as Brooklyn, who is the founder of hot sauce brand Cloud23, shared 'glum' photos from a changing room while waiting for Nicola on a shopping trip following their return from the south of France.
The Peltzes holidayed off the French Riviera on a £85million yacht, which dwarfs the £16million vessel - Seven - owned by the Beckhams.
The two families were spotted in the same port just days apart, however pictures now reveal that Brooklyn and his wife have now left Europe for a stay in the Big Apple.
The eldest Beckham child was seen lunching in SoHo with Nicola, Claudia and his friends Jeremy Clerc and Pamela Anderson 's son, Brandon.
Brooklyn was wearing a graphic print navy T-shirt with beige shorts and Vans trainers, adding a backwards cap and shades to his look.
Meanwhile, Nicola looked typically stylish in a white crop top and baggy jeans, completing the outfit with with a slouchy black Chanel bag.
New pictures shared to Brooklyn's Instagram showed him looking glum as he waited for his wife to try on clothes during a recent shopping trip.
He posed for selfies in a changing room while waiting for Nicola, wearing a white printed T-shirt which featured his brand's logo.
He also sported a backwards black cap again as he showed off his array of arm tattoos in the snaps.
Alongside the photos, shared to Instagram, he wrote: 'Me waiting for my Mrs to try on clothes haha'.
Brooklyn has just spent the week on a superyacht called Project X, which is chartered for £1.2million per week.
The 260ft luxury vessel was rented by Nicola's billionaire parents, who holidayed with the couple and the rest of the Peltz clan.
Just days after the family jetted back to the US after their European getaway, Brooklyn's parents arrived in the same dock on their own vessel.

David, 50 and Victoria, 51, bought their 130ft boat in 2022, after previously buying a smaller vessel by the same name the year before.
Speaking about the financial rivalry, a source told The Sun: 'Brooklyn's yacht dwarfs the one owned by David and Victoria. It's a financial flex.
'Their relationship is beyond soured now but Brooklyn has really landed on his feet. Nicola and her parents, Nelson and Claudia, are his family now. And he's clearly enjoying the spoils.'
Project X boasts a master suite, a VIP cabin, five double rooms as well as two twin cabins, while being able to hold a crew of 28 to run the boat.
Special features include a huge glass-sided swimming pool, a wellness suite, a spa and a jaw-dropping 360-degree sundeck.
Meanwhile, the Beckham's smaller yacht has five cabins in comparison, sleeping ten people and seven crew members.
Their boat features a spa bath on the upper deck, as well as 65ft garage, plenty of water toys and a jet ski to keep the family entertained.
Seven is named after David's iconic football shirt number as well as their daughter Harper's middle name.

Brooklyn's return to the US comes as his family continue their annual St Tropez getaway
David and Victoria are away with their other three children, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14
They previously owned a £5million boat but upgraded it less than a year later.
David and Victoria are away with their other three children, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20 and Harper, 14.
They narrowly avoided an awkward run-in with estranged son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola in the celebrity hotspot.
They arrived in the south of France for their annual summer break, where their eldest son had been spotted holidaying on his billionaire father-in-law's boat nearby.
David and Victoria were joined on the lavish getaway by the rest of their children; Harper and Romeo while youngest son Cruz soaked up the sun elsewhere in St Tropez with girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 30.
Romeo and Harper were first of the family to be spotted in St Tropez on Thursday, just 48-hours after Brooklyn met with godfather Elton John, who was also holidaying in the South Of France, for lunch where the singer 'attempted to end ongoing family feud'.
The once close-knit Beckham family has been thrown into turmoil in recent months, amid claims Brooklyn has become increasingly estranged from his famous parents after failing to attend any of his father 50th birthday celebrations in May.
It was also revealed that Brooklyn and Nicola's Instagram accounts no longer follow his younger brothers in the latest family drama.
Taking to Instagram the heiress shared a slew of loved up snaps
Sir Elton, who has been friends with the Beckhams for three decades, reportedly took the opportunity to 'say his piece' about the feud as he wined and dined the young couple.
According to The Sun, Sir Elton 'briefly' spoke about the family's feud in the hope Brooklyn would patch things up with his parents, and footage of the outing shared on social media showed the pair shaking hands.
Speaking about Elton's attempts to play peacekeeper in the row, a source said: 'Elton is the showbiz equivalent of Switzerland. He's utterly neutral in this row.
'Elton of old may have relished in taking sides - in this case his young godson, Brooklyn - but two years off his 80th birthday, he's a man who has seen and done it all. He just wants everyone to be happy.
'There is no side-taking as such; he simply adores his godson, and really has a laugh with Nicola who he thinks has a great sense of humour. He wants to look after them in his role as 'spiritual adviser' as a godfather, it's a role he takes seriously.
'Elton and David think the situation is terribly sad, and has gently suggested to all involved that life is short - to patch things up.'
The source added Elton is 'adamant he doesn't want to stick his nose in' the feud, he just simply 'wants peace'.
Sir Elton is also said to have generously picked up the entire bill, after dining on the restaurant's signature lobster linguine which comes in at an eye-watering £190.
Nicola shared a slew of final holiday snaps from the couple's lavish trip before heading home to the US.
In a snap shared to her Instagram Stories Nicola threw her arms around Brooklyn's neck as they smooched while watching a sunset.
She later stunned in a black mini dress as she strutted her stuff on the dance floor before enjoying a lavish fireworks display.
The heiress later showcased her jaw-dropping figure as she headed ashore and turned heads in a Chanel crop top which she teamed with a fluffy shrug, despite the scorching weather.
Meanwhile another source has claimed that Nicola and Brooklyn will not feature in his mother forthcoming documentary series.
The former Spice Girl will take centre stage in a new Netflix docuseries about her day-to-day life as creative director of the eponymous fashion and beauty brand she originally launched in 2008.
The source told The Sun: 'The children hardly feature — it's simply not a case of Brooklyn and Nicola being cut, as they weren't in it to start with.
'This is very much a project focussing on Victoria's transaction from pop star to businesswoman and designer.'

Flaco Jimenez, Texas accordionist who expanded popularity of conjunto and Tejano music, dies at 86
Flaco Jimenez, the legendary accordionist from San Antonio who won multiple Grammys and helped expand the popularity of conjunto, Tejano and Tex-Mex music, died Thursday. He was 86. Jimenez's death was announced Thursday evening by his family on social media. 'It is with great sadness that we share tonight the loss of our father, Flaco Jimenez. He was surrounded by his loved ones and will be missed immensely. Thank you to all of his fans and friends—those who cherished his music. And a big thank you for all of the memories. His legacy will live on through his music and all of his fans,' Jimenez's family said in a statement. His family did not disclose a cause of death. Jimenez's family had announced in January that he had been hospitalized and had been 'facing a medical hurdle.' His family did not provide any other information on his medical condition at the time. Born Leonardo Jimenez in 1939, he was known to his fans by his nickname of Flaco, which means skinny in Spanish. He was the son of conjunto pioneer Santiago Jimenez. Conjunto is a musical genre that originated in South Texas and blends different genres and cultural influences. According to the Butler School of Music at the University of Texas at Austin, the development of conjunto 'began more than a century ago when Texans of Mexican heritage (Tejanos) took an interest in the accordion music of German, Polish, and Czech immigrants. The ensuing Tejano accordion music, accompanied by the bajo sexto (replacing the European tuba) soon came to represent the Tejano way of life, which was closely associated with working in the agricultural fields. The music remains unchanged and serves as a symbol that binds many Tejano communities in South and Central Texas.' Jimenez refined his conjunto musical skills by playing in San Antonio saloons and dance halls. He began performing in the 1960s with fellow San Antonio native Douglas Sahm, the founding member of the Sir Douglas Quintet. Jimenez also played with Bob Dylan, Dr. John and Ry Cooder. Throughout his career, Jimenez added other influences into conjunto music, including from country, rock and jazz. In the 1990s, Jimenez was part of the Tejano supergroup the Texas Tornados, which included Sahm, Augie Meyers and Freddy Fender. The group won a Grammy in 1991 for the song, 'Soy de San Luis.' Jimenez also won another Grammy in 1999 as part of another supergroup, Los Super Seven. Jimenez earned five Grammys and was awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2015. He was also inducted into the National Hispanic Hall of Fame and NYC International Latin Music Hall of Fame and was named a Texas State Musician in 2014. When Jimenez was named a 2022 National Medal of Arts recipient, the White House said he was being honored for 'harnessing heritage to enrich American music' and that by 'blending Norteño, Tex Mex, and Tejano music with the Blues, Rock n' Roll, and Pop Music, he sings the soul of America's Southwest.' 'Flaco, your legacy will forever be remembered with fond memories. We appreciate the gift of your musical talent, which brought joy to countless fans. Your passing leaves a void in our hearts,' the Texas Conjunto Music Hall of Fame and Museum said in a post on social media. Kyle Young, the CEO of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, Tennessee, said Jimenez 'was a paragon of Tejano conjunto music.' 'Whether he was recording with Bob Dylan, Linda Ronstadt or the Rolling Stones, or working with his own supergroup, the Texas Tornados, Flaco drew millions of listeners into a rich musical world they might not have discovered on their own,' Young said. ___

I ditched New York City for upstate and found hundreds of vineyards, NASCAR racing experiences & world famous waterfalls
STANDING on Hurricane Deck with water whipping around me and Niagara Falls thundering behind, I'm experiencing a different side of New York. Most visitors cram into Manhattan, but New York City takes up just 0.56 per cent of the entire state. 6 6 6 Beyond the concrete jungle of America's most populated city lie vineyards, breweries, lakes, a whole lot of classic US charm and, of course, those famous falls. Upstate New York, despite its high-end reputation, is also much kinder on your wallet. The cost of two days in the city is equivalent to about six days outside when it comes to accommodation, dining and activities. My journey began in Syracuse, in the heart of the Finger Lakes region — a lush green area known for its scenic beauty and more than 1,600 vineyards. Without much persuasion, I stopped at a few to sample the local produce — I had a tipple at Anyela's vineyard and the Beak & Skiff brewery, which had very tasty ciders. A half-hour drive away is Skaneateles (pronounced skinny atlas), one of the region's most exclusive spots. Lake Skaneateles is said to be the cleanest in the world, but what really stands out is the shorefront, which is full of sprawling manors with sweeping lawns, guest houses and boat garages. It's a popular place for celebs, with former President Bill Clinton and his family known to holiday there. Just south of Syracuse lies Watkins Glen, which looks like a Hallmark movie set until you hear the roar of engines. The charming village is home to the Watkins Glen International track, where Formula 1 raced for 20 consecutive years from 1961 to 1980 before Nascar took over. Martin Lewis warns about strict passport rule that could see you board your flight - only to get sent home on arrival I had a ride in the back of a pace car for a speedy lap (in motorsport, a pace car leads the racers in warm-up laps). And I saw a bright yellow American school bus — full of grinning students — tear around, too. Turns out that anyone can give it a try. You can even take your own car, or bus, for a spin. Rochester, a mid-sized city on the southern shore of Lake Ontario, was once a boom town built on flour mills and photography — it's the birthplace of Kodak. These days, it's better known for the Strong National Museum of Play, a huge, hands-on museum dedicated to toys, games and childhood. Here, I attempted (and failed) to beat other players at Pac-Man and gazed at an enormous collection of Barbie dolls that my five-year-old self would have loved. From there, I headed west to my final, and favourite, stop: Buffalo. Sitting where the Buffalo River meets Lake Erie, it proved that the state's 61 cities beyond NYC are also well worth exploring. Screams of delight I followed the riverfront past guided missile cruiser USS Little Rock, through Veterans Memorial Park, and on past the restored 1920s carousel at Canalside, where families queued for a ride. The standout spot, though, was RiverWorks — a creative reinvention of old grain silos, now home to ziplines, climbing walls, a big wheel, kayaking and lively bars. Buffalo is also the gateway to Niagara Falls, just a short drive away. I arrived at night to see the illuminations, a spectacle in itself. 6 6 6 But at that point I didn't quite grasp the full power of the famous waterfalls. The next day, I saw them in all their glory. Looking like a blue penguin in my oversized anorak, I boarded the Maid Of The Mist tourist boat to get closer to the thundering cascade. At first, the boat bobs along at a glacial pace. Then, after a light spray of water, the full force of the falls hits. Picture screams of delight, anoraks flapping and thousands of gallons of water crashing into the river below. If you want to feel it properly, head to the top deck. Prefer to stay dry? Stick to the lower level. The boat tour is a must — and so is the Cave Of The Winds. This attraction is a series of wooden walkways leading right to the base of Niagara's Bridal Veil Falls and up to the Hurricane Deck, where the water spray slams sideways and where standing still is a feat in itself. I managed to hold my pose just long enough for a photo, before stumbling away, soaked and buzzing with adrenaline. The Big Apple is a bucket-list must, of course, but don't forget to take a bite out of the rest of New York State, too.

Cruise worker reveals key mistake passengers make
A cruise ship worker has shared a crucial mistake passengers make on embarkation day that has the potential to ruin the entire holiday. Alley Kerr, from California , U.S., has worked as an entertainer on cruises for several years, including the likes of Royal Caribbean International. A cruise ship worker has shared a crucial mistake passengers make on embarkation day that has the potential to ruin the entire holiday. Alley Kerr, from California , U.S., has worked as an entertainer on cruises for several years, including the likes of Royal Caribbean International. She has since transitioned to travel content creating after moving to Japan , where she captures her adventures as a passenger on solo cruises, along with sharing insider tips in videos uploaded to her YouTube channel, @wanderlustalley . In a recent clip, she warned passengers of the hidden traps laying in wait that could hinder their whole experience. According to the seasoned cruise worker, embarkation day, also known as boarding day, can feel chaotic as long lines of guests queue to get on board. Some passengers worry about securing popular activities, restaurants and add-ons - which often leads to panic buying and everything becoming sold out. As reported by Ladbible , Alley said: 'On embarkation day, it is absolutely insane. If you can avoid waiting for embarkation day and get it done in advance, your life is going to be so much easier.' She noted that she often witnessed first time cruisers' disappointment after they realized there were no experiences left to book. Alley added: 'People who have never cruised before often get on the ship and then suddenly at the end of the day, they're like, "Oh, everything's sold out." There's limited availability for a lot of things.' Luckily, cruise passengers can often find cheaper and more varied shore excursions by booking independently through local tour operators at each destination, rather than relying solely on the cruise line's excursions.
