Jarrod has been enjoying a relatively low-key stag ahead of his wedding to his former Love Island star fiancée Dani Dyer, 28, on Saturday.
Sources said that after arriving on the Spanish party island clad in fancy dress on Monday, the group spent £2,000 on a boozy lunch at the swanky Nassau Beach Club.
Jarrod was seen leaving the bar topless with a bucket hat and shorts and looked to be enjoying himself with close pals.
The group, who are staying in a luxury private villa, climbed into a blacked-out Mercedes Sprinter after their lunch.
An onlooker said: 'Jarrod seemed to be having a great time and looked really relaxed ahead of his big day.
'They kept things respectable and didn't hit it too hard at the beach club.
'There's no doubt the lads have got plenty in store for Jarrod over the next couple of days so it's bound to get messy.'
The lads, along with Jarrod's dad, had set off in style on a private jet from Stansted Airport on Monday morning - all clad in fancy dress, with Jarrod in a wedding dress.
But their trip has so far paled in comparison to Dani's hen do - with the girls partying hard over the weekend.
Her hardman actor dad Danny, 47, had been expected to be part of the stag-party - with Dani confirming he was joining Jarrod and his pals earlier this year.

But there has so far been no sign of him.
Sources previously told The Sun that Dani and her friends splurged around £20,000 on her hen do - with the group flying out with British Airways last week.
Dani, who shares twins with Jarrod, flew back in a West Ham kit with his number 20 and the words 'Mrs Bowen to be' emblazoned across the back.
They had spent their time partying at hotspots including super-club Ushuaia.
One source said: 'Dani might have flown on a commercial flight but they splashed the cash when they landed.
'She spent Friday night at Ushuaia where they were on a VIP table with a minimum spend of £8,000.
'The next day they hired a boat to go around the coast before spending the rest of the time chilling at the Hard Rock hotel.

Ferocious matador feud that's reviving fortunes of bullfighting

A rivalry worthy of a Goya etching is breathing life into Spanish bullfighting just as its fortunes are waning. The centuries-old art was supposed to be dying but the dramatic comeback of a bullfighter who had quit on mental health grounds, his feud with a fellow torero and the goring of them both in the past week have had a reinvigorating effect. At the heart of the revival is José Antonio Morante de la Puebla, 45, the grand señor of understatement and unflinching faithfulness to tradition, who is pitted against Andrés Roca Rey, 28, a Peruvian daredevil showman. For weeks, Morante, who withdrew from bullfighting last year after depersonalisation disorder floored him, has packed plazas from Pamplona to Seville, giving performances that have prompted critics to hail him as one of the 'historic greats', or even the best-ever matador. His success has goaded Roca Rey, who, not to be cast into his shadow, has repeatedly staged increasingly breathtaking feats in front of bulls. Tension between the two has crackled for months but reached a new pitch two weeks ago when Roca Rey refused to allow Morante to share a bill with him. The rivalry boiled over last week at the corrida at El Puerto de Santa María in Andalusia. Morante criticised the younger torero over a supposed breach of bullfighting rules. Roca Rey's retort was dismissive and flamboyant, telling him to chill out. 'Maestro, smoke a cigar slowly,' he said, a phrase now famous. Witnessed by a full house, the confrontation has added spice to an ebullient season and drawn comparisons with the great rivalries of the past, such as that witnessed by Ernest Hemingway between his friends Luis Miguel Dominguín and Antonio Ordóñez in 1959's 'dangerous summer'. Antonio Lorca, the bullfighting critic of El País, wrote that the rivalry was proof there is still life in the old tradition. The feud 'is excellent news for bullfighting', he stated, adding 'not even in their worst dreams could anti-bullfighting activists have imagined that the art in 2025 would enjoy the vigorous health it boasts today, with queues at the box office at the call of two undisputed leaders who, moreover, provide ample grounds for discussion over morning coffee'. Morante's season has been historic. In June he was carried aloft by a crowd out of Madrid's Las Ventas bullring and has since then been re-crowned as the torero of his generation. But then he suffered a serious goring in Pontevedra on August 10 — two wounds, 20 centimetres deep, to the right thigh. It was his second in as many days. The night before, in Marbella, Morante was tossed heavily by the bull and finished with a cut to the head before raising the crowd with a sparkling, risky flourish that earned him the two ears and the tail of a bull as trophies. Roca Rey's summer has been just as notable. This week he was also gored but but fought on, bloodied, and triumphed. 'He is a fearless bullfighter, with admirable pride and boundless dedication; prodigious, spectacular, overwhelming, risking his life every afternoon and triumphing with all honors,' Lorca observed. 'A figure of today's bullfighting, from his shoes to his hat.' But the political current is against them. Ernest Urtasun, the culture minister from the populist left-wing Sumar alliance, scrapped the National Bullfighting Prize last year and set about abolishing the sport outright, calling it a spectacle based on 'animal torture'. Public sentiment is turning against it too. In February, a BBVA Foundation study reported that roughly seven in ten Spaniards oppose bullfights with disapproval strongest among the young and university-educated. An initiative backed by 665,000 signatures will force parliament to vote on removing bullfighting's national cultural protection later this year. Yet the audience is not simply fading away. As one matador told La Vanguardia last year, 'What is forbidden attracts', and a tranche of twenty-somethings is drifting back to the tendidos for the thrill. The industry's own figures suggest 2 million spectators attended bullfighting events last year. • Is Spain really falling out of love with bullfighting? Morante is swiftly recovering from his wounds and is due back in the bullring in the autumn in Madrid. The appetite for him is reaching fever pitch. Lorca wrote: 'Morante is a genius, a being born to make beauty dream; a revolutionary, a complete artist, pure feeling, brave, master of a prodigious technique and a dazzling capacity for inspiration.' The bullfighter has said that Roca Rey had extended the hand of friendship but that no conversation had yet taken place. A rapprochement perhaps would be bad for business.

The close Beckham family friend who pals say has ‘replaced' Brooklyn in his brothers' lives as bitter feud rumbles on

A FRIEND close to the Beckham family has 'replaced' Brooklyn in his brothers' lives, according to pals. The Beckham family feud has reached a new low after Brooklyn and Nicola tied the knot for a second time. 6 6 6 Nicola, 30, and Brooklyn, 26, said "I do" for a second time earlier this month after keeping their distance from his famous family. The happy couple were surrounded by Nicola's family for the lavish ceremony, with Brooklyn's family nowhere to be seen. But pals have speculated that footballer Mitchell Curry has filled the void of Brooklyn. Mitchell posed with Romeo and Cruz recently, as they all spent time on the Beckhams' £16 million yacht. They've been heading out for lunches together, and joined the family for an evening out. Romeo also referred to Mitchell as 'my brotha' back in June, as they attended a tennis match in France. He's a pal of Romeo's as they both played for Inter Miami together, and currently he plays for Premier Division club Whitby Town. Mitchell previously spoke to the Northern Echo about his close friendship with Romeo, 22, saying: 'We'd do everything together. Watch the moment Brooklyn Beckham 'proposes' to Nicola Peltz before vow renewal 'I remember the first time I met David, the heart rate was going through the roof 'He'd come and watch training a lot but the first time I met him properly, me and Romeo met him at Chipotle and then we went back to their house, and then it just became more and more regular. 'They were so good to me when I was over there and it's the same since I've come home, the full family, I can't thank them enough.' Even though Mitchell has left Miami, his friendship with the Beckhams has endured. 'He and Victoria live very busy lives but they're both so genuine and to let me stay with them in their house means a lot and they are always there.' The Beckham Family Feud April 2022: Brooklyn marries Nicola Peltz. Wedding Dress Controversy: Rumours begin circulating that there's tension between Nicola and Victoria Beckham after Nicola chooses not to wear a Victoria Beckham -designed wedding gown. Nicola later clarifies in August 2022 (and again in March 2023) that Victoria's atelier couldn't make the dress in time, but reports in May 2025 suggest Victoria actually changed her mind about making the dress. Post-Wedding (2022 onwards): Minimal interaction between Nicola and Victoria on social media, and noticeable absence of Nicola at key Beckham family events. Alleged Wedding "Hijack": In May 2025, a source claimed Victoria "ruined" part of the wedding by allegedly hijacking a dance with Marc Anthony, which was meant for Brooklyn and Nicola. Nicola reportedly ran from the room crying. March 2025: A resurfaced TikTok of Romeo and Cruz mimicking a "baby voice" (which fans associate with Nicola) sparks speculation of sibling shade. April 2025: Brooklyn and Nicola are reportedly absent from Victoria Beckham's 51st birthday celebrations in Miami and her Paris Fashion Week show. May 2025: David Beckham's 50th Birthday Snub: Brooklyn and Nicola are notably absent from David Beckham's 50th birthday celebrations in London, despite being invited. Reports suggest their absence was due to Brooklyn not wanting to be in the same room as Kim Turnbull, the girlfriend of Romeo who had previously been reported to have been dating Brooklyn, who David allegedly opted to have at the party over Nicola. Rumours emerge of a falling out between Brooklyn and his younger brother Romeo, reportedly due to Romeo's new girlfriend, DJ Kim Turnbull, who allegedly had a past connection with Brooklyn. Reports surface that the Beckham parents are "hurt and disappointed" that Brooklyn is "playing no part in family life." Sources claim that tensions between Brooklyn and Nicola and his parents are "definitely not beyond repair." June 2025: Brooklyn and Nicola reportedly enlist a "crisis team" similar to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for "reputation management" due to the growing media scrutiny. Cruz Beckham posts cryptic lyrics on Instagram that some interpret as a swipe at Brooklyn. July 2025: Reports indicate David and Victoria are "desperate" to reconcile with Brooklyn. Brooklyn publicly wishes his sister Harper a happy 14th birthday on Instagram, tagging Nicola, which is seen as a potential "olive branch" and a rare public message to his family amid the rumored rift. Brooklyn UNFOLLOWS his brothers Romeo and Cruz just 24 hours after his birthday message to Harper. Nicola quickly follows suit and also ditches the Beckham bros from her Instagram following. Romeo and Cruz are now also no longer following Brooklyn. Calling David 'down to earth,' the footballer added: 'He'll just sit and have normal conversations about footy or whatever. Like you would with one of your mates.' Meanwhile, the Beckhams were not invited to Brooklyn and Nicola's ceremony on August 2, and only found out about the nuptials online. None of the photos from the lavish ceremony, which was attended by most of Nicola's family, have been liked on social media by any of the Beckham family. There are also no comments from the Beckhams on the snaps, acknowledging the ceremony or congratulating the couple. Brooklyn's nan, David's mum, usually comments on photos on social media - but this time she has not. The couple, who first got married in April 2022 after dating for three years, said "I do" again at the start of August 2025 in a vow renewal ceremony. In the photos shared by the couple on Instagram, they are surrounded by Nicola's family and friends. The ceremony was even officiated by Nicola's father, Nelson Peltz, 83. Rumours of a rift between the couple and The Beckhams have been rife ever since Nicola and Brooklyn failed to attend his dad David's 50th birthday party earlier this year. 6 6 6
