Brooklyn Beckham caused controversy by using seawater to boil pasta for a cooking video filmed on a luxury yacht.
Fans reacted with disgust and concern, highlighting the potential health risks associated with cooking with unpurified seawater due to bacteria.
Scientific research supports these concerns, indicating that seawater contains millions of bacteria, some of which are linked to serious illnesses.
Beckham, who was promoting his hot sauce brand, has a history of receiving criticism for his culinary skills but maintains he is unfazed by negative comments.
The incident comes amid ongoing speculation about discord within the Beckham family, following Brooklyn and his wife's absence from recent family events.

As the Peltz family superyacht dwarfs the Beckahms vessel, a look at the best celebrity yachts (equipped with helipads and hot tubs) that give them a run for their money

Superyacht summer is in full swing, with celebrities soaking up the sun on their luxurious vessels across the world. Brooklyn Beckham has been flexing the Peltz's wealth during a St Tropez getaway with his in-laws - dwarfing his family's current getaway in the same location. The amateur chef, 26, who is embroiled in a rift with his family, spent the week on a £85million 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 two days after the family jetted back to the U.S. after their European getaway, Brooklyn's parents arrived in the same dock on their £16million yacht. And they aren't the only ones who love a luxury break on a yacht, with stars like Leonardo DiCaprio, Conor McGregor and Ronaldo often pictured on them. From sleek sailing vessels to floating mega-mansions complete with helipads and onboard pools, a look at the most impressive celebrity yachts. Beckhams David, 50 and Victoria, 51, bought their 130ft boat Seven in 2022, after previously buying a smaller vessel by the same name the year before. 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. It has five cabins in comparison, sleeping ten people and seven crew members. Seven is named after David's iconic football shirt number as well as their daughter Harper's middle name. They previously owned a £5million boat but upgraded it less than a year later. David and Victoria are currently 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. Seven is named after David's iconic football shirt number as well as their daughter Harper's middle name Cristiano Ronaldo Ronaldo, 40, bought his lavish 88-feet long Azimut Grande for £5.5million in 2020. The legendary footballer, his partner Georgina Rodriguez and their children were recently spotted on the yacht in Mallorca as they enjoyed his summer break. Georgina has previously shared a variety of snaps of their family relaxing on the vessel, as well as sexy bikini snaps. Built in Azimut-Benett's shipyards in Versilia, Italy, it boasts five luxury cabins and six stunningly decorated bathrooms. There's also a modern kitchen onboard, as well as two relaxation areas, a huge lounge, and a lavish dining room. In terms of its specifications, it's capable of reaching 28 knots, thanks to two 1,900 horsepower engines, and is made of carbon fibre, weighing a whopping 93 tonnes. It can accommodate up to eight guests in five luxury cabins, and three crew members. Conor McGregor Conor McGregor regularly showcases his lavish lifestyle and the expensive toys he plays with. In 2019, he bought a Prestige 750 yacht, which has a price tag of around £3m. The 75-foot boat was inspired by Muhammad Ali and features a quote from him that reads: 'He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.' The boat is called 'The 188' which refers to the amount in social welfare Conor used to receive in Ireland before his fighting career took off. Two years later, he also purchased a £2.6m Lamborghini Tecnomar 63 motor yacht, one of only 63 in the world. The boat, dubbed the 'supercar of the sea' can reach a top speed of 69mph (60 knots) and boasts 4,000 horsepower. Inspired by the iconic Lamborghini car, the yacht features an angular and futuristic design. Jeff Bezos Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, 61, bought Koru in 2018 for around $500million, and it is named after the Maori word for 'new beginnings.' The boat comes complete with three decks, a pool, a helipad, three Jacuzzis, and a sun terrace - perfect for the 18 guests it can accommodate. It is the world's tallest sailboat with masts measuring 230 feet. There is also a wooden figurehead that bears a striking resemblance to his wife Lauren Sanchez, though the former journalist insists it was modeled after the Norse Goddess Freyja. Koru was built by Oceanco, with exterior design by Dutch firm Dykstra Naval Architects, and naval architecture by Dykstra Naval Architects and Lateral Naval Architects, per Architectural Digest. Jeff - who is worth $226 billion - is reportedly charged an estimated $25 million a year to staff and operate Koru. Koru's dedicated support vessel Abeona, which cost $75 million, is similarly impressive. The accompanying boat has 246 feet of storage for the tycoon's helicopter, jet skis, and luxury cars. Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Jason and Rosie were seen soaking up the sun on board a superyacht this summer with their two children. The family were cruising in Italy, with the pair sharing a carousel of snaps from the luxurious trip to Instagram, including views of a teak-clad deck, al fresco dining and plenty of space for sunbathing. Jason, Rosie, and their two children have been enjoying the water toys onboard, including a jet ski and waterboard. Yachtspotters believe it is the 28-meter Sunseeker 95 Blue Infinity One, delivered in 2023. With the pair spending a lot of time onboard this yacht, fans were under the impression they own it, but it appears the couple rent it. Steven Spielberg Steven Spielberg, 78, and his wife Kate Capshaw are often seen enjoying their $250 million yacht Seven Seas. The 357-foot superyacht, which was built in the Netherlands by luxury firm Oceanco in 2022, can carry 14 guests in its seven cabins as well as 30 staff across another 15 cabins. The famous filmmaker - whose net worth is $5.3 billion - called the yacht Seven Seas after he sold his decade-old 282-foot yacht with the same name in 2021. He also chose the name in honor of his seven children, per SuperYacht Fan. Seven Seas, which was designed by Sinon Yacht Architecture & Design, boasts a large pool at the rear, a spa pool on the deck, and a crew of 30. There are some reports it also has a helicopter landing pad at the front. The megayacht is powered by twin MTU 20V 4000 M73L diesel engines that can produce 4,813 HP each and propel the vessel to 20 knots, according to Robb Report. Mark Zuckerberg In 2024, Mark Zuckerberg, 41 - who is worth $242 billion - bought himself a $300 million yacht as a 'birthday present' for himself. His 387-foot-long yacht is thought to have not only its own aircraft hangar but also a support boat, called the Wingman, costing an estimated $30 million. The main vessel, called Launchpad, was constructed at the Feadship shipyard in the Netherlands in 2022, and can accommodate 24 guests as well as 48 crew members. It features include a beach club area, beauty center, cinema and helicopter. The Meta CEO's luxury ship's sleek exterior was designed by Espen Øino International and has a steel hull and an aluminum superstructure, according to SuperYacht Times. It is reportedly the 45th largest yacht in the world, per Page Six. The interiors were reportedly designed by Zuretti Interior Design company, a France-based company specializing in unique and custom yacht design. There are multiple levels for sunbathing and indoor spaces with glass paneling allowing for floods of natural light. Sir Elton John Sir Elton John's yacht, the Wabi Sabi, was built to the singer's very own specifications. The yacht is bright white in colour, and is often spotted by yachting enthusiasts and fans. Wabi Sabi can hold up to 18 guests inside its eight luxury cabins, and it is worth $29.1 (£23.48) million. Elton John has welcomed several celebrity pals on his yacht including Bill Gates It has been billed as 'the most extraordinary yacht ever built'. A 390ft (118.8m) vessel – rumoured to be owned by billionaire Bill Gates – boasts a basketball court, beach club–style infinity pool, 15 cabins, a landing area for helicopters and even a private hospital. The ship, named 'Breakthrough', also features multiple libraries, a cinema, several hot tubs and has been hailed as the first hydrogen–powered 'net zero' superyacht. The ultra–luxury boat is about to go up for sale for the first time, at the Monaco Yacht Show in September. But its extravagance demands a hefty price tag of $645million (£476million). The elusive vessel, which took five years to design and build, will be the largest yacht attending the show. It has the capacity to host 30 guests in 15 cabins, who will be looked after by up to 43 crew members. The owner's on–board accommodation, however, extends to a 'completely private' four–story townhouse tucked away inside the yacht. Yacht dealer Edmiston, which appears to be brokering the sale of the ship, said the owner's deck was 'designed for family use' and is essentially an apartment with two bedrooms, twin bathrooms and dressing rooms, a gym, a pantry, two offices each with a fireplace and a living room. It adds that the private living quarters 'includes both a spacious staircase lined with bookshelves and displays nooks and an owner's elevator'. 'At each deck level, there are inviting private lifestyle destinations to savour such as a coffee corner and games niche on the bridge deck, a library on the main deck, and a private dining room with a sea terrace and adjacent ensuite stateroom on the lower deck,' the dealer said. 'It creates, in essence, a secluded four–level townhouse–by–the sea within the much larger yacht.' In total there are five decks above the waterline and two below, with the owner's deck 121ft (37m) above water. There are also 14 balconies that are 'unnoticeable when closed but slide out at the touch of a button, carrying with them their side railings or walls'. Michael Jordan Basketball star Michael Jordan, who is worth an estimated $3.5 billion, owns a yacht called 'M'BRACE' which is valued at a staggering $115 million. The 244-foot long ship, purchased by Michael in 2022, is said to accommodate 12 guests with eight cabins and 24 crew, with an estimated annual running cost of $10 million. The boat, which was first owned by Britain's Sir Lloyd Marshall Dorfman, was built in 2018 by Abeking & Rasmussen. It has a distinctive Atlantic Bow and has its very own pool onboard. Michael, 62, also owns a smaller yacht called Joy which cost $80 million.

Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz renew vows amid bitter family feud

Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz have renewed their wedding vows, three years after tying the knot. The couple has been at the center of a feud with the Beckham family but amid the ongoing drama, the pair proved they are stronger than ever on Saturday as they reaffirmed the promises they made to each other in 2022. A source close to the couple confirmed the news to Daily Mail, saying: 'This is a moment to celebrate their love and commitment, and to create a meaningful memory together.' SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO Brooklyn and Nicola have been together since October 2019, and announced their engagement in July 2020. They then tied the knot in a lavish wedding on April 9, 2022, at Nicola's family estate in Florida. In June, Brooklyn reflected on the day he proposed as he shared an emotional message on Instagram: 'It's been 5 years since I asked this beautiful woman to marry me xx best decision ever x I love you so much.' David and Victoria failed to wished their son and his wife a happy third wedding anniversary in April or even like or comment on the couple's post. In fact, none of the Beckham family publicly congratulated them, including brothers Romeo and Cruz, who Brooklyn is said to have fallen out with. Celebrating three years since they walked down the aisle, the couple posted a throwback photo from their wedding day. Meanwhile, Nicola's post also failed to prompt any congratulations from her in-laws. It was also revealed that Brooklyn and Nicola's Instagram accounts no longer follow his younger brothers. However, Brooklyn's friends told Daily Mail that Cruz and Romeo have actually blocked them on the social media platform. This would make sense given that Brooklyn and Nicola are still following Victoria and David. David and Victoria have reportedly become resigned to the fact that they have become estranged from their son after he failed to attend David's 50th birthday. He also didn't wish either his mum Victoria or dad David a happy birthday on social media.

Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz renew wedding vows after three years of marriage amid family feud

BROOKLYN Beckham and Nicola Peltz have renewed their wedding vows after three years of marriage. Nicola, 30, and Brooklyn, 26, have reportedly said "I do" again after seemingly keeping their distance from his famous family. 4 4 4 Rumours of a family feud have been rife after the loved up couple failed to attend dad David's 50th birthday party. But the couple seem unfazed and have now renewed their wedding vows. The couple, who first got married in April 2022 after dating for three years, reportedly said "I do" again on Saturday. A source told People magazine: "The event is about honouring the love and commitment they've built together over the years, and creating a memory that will stay with them forever." In April, the couple celebrated their third wedding anniversary when they shared gushing tributes to one another online. Brooklyn confessed that he falls "more in love" with his wife with each day that passes. A note from Brooklyn to Nicola was shared at the time, which read: "Dear Nicola, Happy anniversary baby. "I love you so much and I continue to fall more in love with you every second. "You make me a better man and I couldn't ask for a better partner. "You are my soul and my rock. David and Victoria Beckham's agony as family feud explodes into WW3 and pals say 'Brooklyn has totally cut them off' "I love you so much Nicola xx "Love Brooklyn xxxxxxx." Brooklyn's famous parents, David and Victoria Beckham, did not publicly wish the couple a happy anniversary at the time. The couple did not like their post about the milestone either. 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. Brooklyn's siblings Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, who are active on social media, also seemingly snubbed the milestone. Then, in July, Brooklyn unfollowed his brothers Cruz and Romeo on social media. He appeared to make the shock move today just hours after reaching out to sister Harper to mark her 14th birthday. Wife Nicola swiftly followed suit and unfollowed Romeo and Cruz. The brothers also unfollowed Brooklyn and Nicola in return - but were both still following each other at the time. 4
