Nicola Peltz shares racy bath snap after she and Brooklyn ‘discuss family feud with Sir Elton John'
Nicola Peltz stunned fans by sharing a daring photo from the bath that left little to the imagination, following a lunch outing with her husband Brooklyn and his godfather, Sir Elton John. The 30-year-old Transformers actress posted the jaw-dropping snap as part of a carousel of images from her lavish trip to St Tropez. 'Best memories,' she captioned the post. As a nod to the music legend, Nicola set the mood with Elton John and Dua Lipa's hit collaboration Cold Heart as the soundtrack. Brooklyn cheekily revealed in the comments, 'I took the photo in the bath,' followed by a red heart emoji. It came after reports that Sir Elton invited the couple to enjoy a lavish lunch with him at La Guerite beach club in Cannes, hoping to ease tensions amid the ongoing family feud. The Rocketman hit-maker, who has shared a close friendship with Brooklyn's parents David and Victoria Beckham for over three decades, played host to the aspiring chef and his other half at the exclusive South of France venue. The Beckhams have recently been embroiled in a public family dispute, with Brooklyn and Nicola reportedly at odds with other family members, including his brothers Romeo and Cruz. According to The Sun, Sir Elton 'briefly' spoke about the family's feud in the hope Brooklyn would patch things up with his parents. A source said: '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 ''damant he doesn't want to stick his nose in' and just simply 'wants peace'.

A Beckham peace deal? Elton John acts as mediator in Brooklyn's family feud as he shakes hands with his godson after 'saying his piece' on row while treating him and his wife Nicola Peltz to a swanky lunch in St Tropez
Footage has emerged that showed the moment Elton John sat down for lunch with godson Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz, in a bid to calm the family's escalating feud. The legendary musician, who has been friends with David, 50, and Victoria Beckham, 51, for over 30 years, treated Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, to a swanky lunch at fancy La Guerite beach club in the South of France. New pictures show the couple wining and dining with Sir Elton and his husband David Furnish where the hitmaker reportedly took the opportunity to 'say his piece'. The Beckham family have been at the centre of a feud that has pitted Brooklyn and his wife Nicola against the rest of the family. 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'. MailOnline has contacted the Beckhams and Elton's representatives for comment. Nicola couldn't wipe the smile off her face during the lunch as she sipped on Aperol Spritz at the fancy beach club. 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 went onto pay tribute to Elton in a new Instagram post, as she stripped naked for a racy bath snap, while his song Cold Heart played over it. David affectionately calls the musician 'Uncle Elton' after becoming friends in his football heyday. Sir Elton was due to perform at the Beckhams wedding in 1999 before suffering a heart attack that prevented him from playing. He later sang at one of the children's christenings. Meanwhile Victoria once disclosed that it was Elton who inspired her to say goodbye to the Spice Girls, penning an emotional letter to her older self where she confessed that watching her friend perform made her realise that her true calling lay beyond singing. It comes after Nicola doubled down on the family feud as she declared Brooklyn 'her everything' on Instagram last week during their luxury St Tropez trip. Nicola took to her Instagram Stories with snaps of the pair embracing during their sun-soaked getaway on board her billionaire father's yacht in St Tropez. The couple only had eyes for each other as she wrapped her arms around his neck while he pulled her in close. She wore a bikini top and skimpy white shorts while her husband shielded his eyes behind shades and a baseball cap and cheekily squeezed her bottom. Nicola captioned the post: 'My everything @BrooklynBeckhamPeltz' with Brooklyn later resharing it with his followers. Last week, it was revealed that Brooklyn and Nicola's Instagram accounts no longer follow his younger brothers Cruz, 20, and Romeo, 22, in the latest family drama. Nicola doubled down amid her and husband Brooklyn's feud with his family as she declared him 'her everything' last week However, Brooklyn's friends told MailOnline on Friday 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, 51 and David, 50. Cruz and Romeo were still following Brooklyn and Nicola earlier this month but appeared to take action after Brooklyn posted a birthday tribute to sister Harper, sharing a family photo without them in it – which Nicola reposted. There was much speculation whether Brooklyn would reach out to Harper on her 14th birthday on Thursday, but despite him doing so, it seems all is not well in the camp. Brooklyn's birthday tribute to Harper marked his first public interaction with his family since he paid tribute to his grandmother Sandra on June 26, despite remaining silent and shunning his father's 50th birthday earlier that same month. Sources close to the family have told MailOnline of their fears that Brooklyn and his wife Nicola have also distanced themselves from Harper after they failed to visit her when they flew into London in May to film an advert for French-Italian clothing brand Moncler just over a mile from the family home in Holland Park. David and Victoria had no idea whether Brooklyn, who Harper has idolised since she was a little girl, would message her privately or publicly on Instagram because they have no communication with him.

Playing Hide-and-Seek With Cézanne in His Hometown
'He didn't know what he was doing,' his wife recalled. 'So odd, so timid,' was Claude Monet's judgment: 'a victim of too much self-doubt.' 'A sphinx,' his childhood best friend, Émile Zola, deemed him. In life, Paul Cézanne was tentative. (Though commanding, too: He spoke so loudly that he made dishes rattle, the painter Mary Cassatt observed.) His paintings followed suit, with such deliberate hesitancy in their brushstrokes that they seemed to destroy the possibility of objective representation. To Braque, Picasso, Duchamp and other 20th-century students of relativity, he was a prophet of doubt. It's funny, then, that he should be the subject of Europe's art pilgrimage of the summer. With the aim of knowing Cézanne better, thousands are heading to Aix-en-Provence, Cézanne's hometown in the South of France, for 'Cézanne 2025,' a regionwide tourist drive with programming running through the fall. It centers on 'Cézanne at Jas de Bouffan,' a smartly chosen exhibition of some 130 Cézanne works, most of them on loan, at the Musée Granet, the former drawing school where he first studied art. The show coincides with a partial reopening of his family retreat west of town. With its aggressive branding, its T.S.A.-style lines and crowds, and its endless commercial spinoffs in the town's shops and galleries, 'Cézanne 2025' offers passing tourists the promise of a scavenger hunt between the works in the museum and the many haunts of Provence's biggest painter. For students of art, though, the question is whether paintings are enriched by an understanding of the environment in which they are made. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Alix Earle and NFL star boyfriend Braxton Berrios reveal surprise friendship with fellow sports star
Alix Earle and her boyfriend Braxton Berrios recently enjoyed some summer travels - and revealed a friendship with an unexpected star athlete in the process. Earle and Berrios, who signed a one-year, $1.8million deal with Houston in March, went to the South of France before the beginning of his Texans training camp. And Berrios' Instagram post recapping the memorable trip shows that F1 star Charles Leclerc was in their group for at least part of the sun-filled vacation. In a group mirror selfie, both Leclerc and his influencer girlfriend, Alexandra Saint Mleux, were spotted in the frame with Berrios (though Earle was not in the shot). In another picture, Berrios and Leclerc could be seen sitting next to each other at a beachfront meal. All-Pro returner Berrios captioned the carousel post 'Couldn't draw it up any better,' as he shared several other pictures from the trip - including a couple of him and Earle. Earle and Berrios started dating in 2023 after the receiver and model Sophia Culpo ended a two-year relationship. And Earle, who attended the University of Miami, was a huge supporter of Berrios while he played for the Miami Dolphins over the last two seasons. Berrios played just six games last season after tearing his ACL in October. Nonetheless, he landed with the Texans over the winter as the former sixth-round pick prepares to head into his seventh NFL season. His fame off the field has certainly risen since he began dating Earle, who boasts 7.5million followers on TikTok. Berrios himself has over 554k followers on Instagram. His Texans will report for training camp on July 23, with their preseason beginning on August 9 against the Jaguars. They'll then open their regular season against the Rams. Leclerc, meanwhile, endured a difficult outing at his last race as he finished just 14th at the British Grand Prix on July 6. The Ferrari driver is fifth in the F1 standings this season, with 119 points and four podium finishes. His next race will come at the Belgian GP on July 27.
