Hulk Hogan's daughter opens up on feud that tore her family apart following father's death
Hulk Hogan 's daughter, Brooke, has opened up on her troubled relationship with the wrestling legend in a candid statement in the wake of his death. The WWE icon died at the age of 71 on Thursday after suffering a cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater, Florida. Emergency services rushed him to a local hospital but Hogan was ultimately declared dead at the medical facility. His passing came just months after his bitter family feud with his daughter and ex-wife Linda took a deep emotional toll on him. Linda accused the former wrestler of tearing their family apart as she claimed Brooke had cut off both parents over Hogan's actions. However, Brooke, in a heartbreaking and emotional statement, candidly reflected on her relationship with her father, insisting that despite their differences, their bond had never been broken. In a six page social media statement posted on Tuesday she wrote: 'My dad's blood runs through my veins. His eyes shine through my children. And our bond has never broken, not even in his final moments.' Brooke continued: 'We had a connection deeper than words, one that spanned lifetimes. I am so grateful I knew the real version of him. Not just the one the world viewed through a carefully curated lens. We shared a quiet, sacred bond, one that could be seen and felt by anyone who witnessed us together. When he left this earth, it felt like part of my spirit left with him. I felt it before the news even reached us.' In an astonishing video on social media shared in March, Linda first accused her former husband of being a 'complete liar' and 'sex addict'. She also claimed their family is 'in the worst mess' after Brooke cut both parents out of her life. Brooke later retaliated, hitting back at her mom by alleging that her dad was not the only reason behind the family divide, claiming she was 'verbally and mentally abused' during her childhood. Brooke alleged: 'Sadly, it would frequently turn physical. And sometimes it's not by the person you would assume, abuse comes in all shapes and sizes.' After Brooke's stunning response, Linda then took a dramatic U-turn by defending Hogan and branding her daughter a 'narcissist.' Following the star's passing, Brooke said she felt the need to clarify the narrative surrounding their relationship, claiming that she had to 'step away to protect my heart.' She wrote: 'We never had a "big fight." My father and I never "fought." It was a series of private phone calls no one will ever hear, know, or understand.' Brooke continued: 'My father was confiding in me about issues weighing on his heart, both personal and business. I offered to be a life raft in whatever capacity he needed. I told him he had my support. I begged him to rest, to take care of himself. He had nothing else to prove to the world or anyone.' The 37-year-old, who welcomed twins with her husband, former NHL star Steven Oleksy, in January, went on to reveal the real reason behind their rift. Brooke explained that she felt her father begin to pull away as he no long wanted her by his side throughout surgeries and shuttered her out on an emotional level. 'He was telling me these things, being so vulnerable with me and heard my pleas, then suddenly something shifted, and he made a choice to walk the path that clearly tore at his spirit,' she continued. 'I felt a disconnect. What followed were respectful disagreements that took an emotional toll on me.' 'During the last two years, I had to step away to protect my heart. My husband stayed open, quietly reaching out to my dad without me knowing, trying to find a safe way back in for me. After my father passed, I read those messages, some answered, some ignored... but all of them broke my heart.' Even amid their estrangement, Brooke and her husband Steven found a touching way to honor the wrestling icon. The couple included a sweet nod to Hogan in the name of one of their twins, it was revealed last week. Their daughter's full name is Molly Gene Olesky - with the middle name being the same as the late wrestler's. Brooke wrote: 'I know in my heart I did everything I could,' Brooke concluded. 'He knew I would run through a burning building for him. And in many ways, along the path of life, I did. He knows how deeply, how hard and how purely I loved him. I am at peace knowing this. 'All I ever truly wanted from my father was love, honesty, and a deep connection. And for a few special years, I had that-with memories that will last a lifetime. 'My world is forever changed. But I'm deeply blessed with a loving husband and two beautiful children who remind me every day of life's greatest gifts.' Oleksy, who is spent known for his stints with the Washington Capitals and rival Pittsburgh Penguins, married Brooke in 2022 and spoke out about the loss of his father-in-law on Tuesday. Sharing a photo of himself with Brooke and her father, he wrote: 'My wife and I have not released any official statement about the death of my father in law. 'We are grieving and processing privately and ask for the respect to do so. If you see or hear something it did not come from us. There are many disturbing AI videos circulating that do not represent our family, feelings, or opinions. Thank you very much for the love, support, and understanding.' Hulk welcomed Brooke as well as son Nick, 35, with Linda - whom he was married to from 1983 to 2009. He later wed Jennifer McDaniel in 2010 until their divorce in 2021. Two years later, the WWE legend married Sky Daily and the pair remained together until his death. Brooke and her father last spoke nearly two years ago in September 2023 only weeks before he married his third wife Sky. On that call, Brooke expressed love and concern for her father - telling him that he shouldn't be working so hard due to his declining health. Despite her pleas for him to enjoy more of his life, those requests fell on deaf ears. The pair didn't speak again. The outlet also claims that Hogan apologized to Brooke on the call, but it wasn't clear what the apology was for. TMZ also reported this week that Brooke was concerned with what was going on in her father's life and was protective of him. However, their relationship wasn't reparable. Despite multiple attempts from her husband to fix their relationship, including when Brooke almost died in childbirth, Hogan 'responded coldly and never made an effort to meet Brooke's kids,' per TMZ. The outlet added that the wrestler seemingly 'only wanted a relationship with her under his terms.' Back in April, Daily Mail exclusively revealed that Hogan was 'heartbroken' about his ongoing family feud - specifically with Brooke. An inside source said: 'The massive uphill battle might finally be taking place.' The insider continued: 'Hogan is finally hearing and listening to those that have been thrown in different directions by his behavior. He is looking to make up for past bad decisions.' While it's said that Hogan wanted to stay as 'far away from Linda as possible', our source said: 'He's heartbroken that he doesn't have a relationship with his daughter and would love someday to rectify that. 'As this current drama has occurred and all the s*** that he has gone through piles on to itself, he is finally looking to see if he can make amends and help rather than hurt. 'He knows that many will think it is a boy who cried wolf situation, and it will be hard to trust him - but he is looking to do the work.'

Victoria and David Beckham welcome beloved son Cruz and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel onboard their £16M yacht in St Tropez as they enjoy summer break with family friend Eva Longoria... but Brooklyn is still missing
Victoria Beckham looked thrilled to welcome her beloved son Cruz and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel onboard her and David's £16million yacht in St Tropez on Monday. The couple's eldest son Brooklyn, 26, and daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz, 30, continue to be absent from their annual summer break amid an ongoing family feud. The 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 David's 50th birthday celebrations in May. Cruz, 20, joined his parents mid-trip following a romantic break with Jackie, 30, elsewhere. Eva Longoria, 50 - a close family friend of the Beckhams - was also spotted on their multi-million pound vessel with her husband José Bastón, 57. The Desperate Housewives actress, who is godmother to Victoria and David's daughter Harper, was seen relaxing on a sun lounger in a high-leg white swimsuit before greeting Cruz and Jackie. Cruz joined his parents during their annual family getaway following a romantic break with Jackie elsewhere After settling in, Cruz enjoyed a dip in the ocean with his father, 50, before sharing a sweet embrace while chatting to Victoria, 51. Fashion designer Victoria looked incredibly elegant in a black lace dress, teamed with a large sun hat. The couple traded in their £5million yacht for the much bigger vessel last year, and had been pictured on it sailing around Miami. The impressive looking vessel, understood to be worth £16million, was a significant upgrade on the comparatively modest 100-foot yacht reportedly purchased by Beckham in 2022. The football legend was said to have 'treated himself' to his original vessel in 2022 after being inspired by his maritime jaunts with close friends Sir Elton John and David Furnish - who often holiday at sea. A source told The Sun at the time: 'David had a look around some yachts in the summer, and decided to treat himself. He helped design the boat himself, and has been incredibly hands-on with everything. 'It's not an oligarch-style super-yacht, but it's still pretty plush by anyone's standards. He was inspired after holidaying with Elton and David on their boat - and loves life on the water. 'There will be an area for the kids to snorkel, and the boat will be a brilliant base for the whole Beckham clan to have magical holidays abroad.' The 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 David's 50th birthday celebrations in May Shirtless David showered off after a dip The couple traded in their £5million yacht for the much bigger vessel last year, and had been pictured on it sailing around Miami The impressive looking vessel, understood to be worth £16million, was a significant upgrade on the comparatively modest 100-foot yacht reportedly purchased by Beckham in 2022 The football legend was said to have 'treated himself' to his original vessel in 2022 after being inspired by his maritime jaunts with close friends Sir Elton John and David Furnish - who often holiday at sea Cruz showed off her skills as he dived into the water from the boat The trio looked in great spirits on the family trip David and Victoria are also away with their other children, Romeo, 22 and Harper, 14. Victoria gave a rare insight into her feelings about estranged son Brooklyn with a telling social media move. The former Spice Girl has proved she is still keeping tabs on her eldest son's moves by 'liking' several of his social media facts. Notably, in the three-weeks spanning July 5 and July 26 - she liked every single one of his posts that didn't feature Nicola. All posts in which he was seen with his wife, were not acknowledged by Victoria. It is possible that these posts - four out of the 16 - were simply not seen by her. Victoria has not liked any of Nicola's posts in the same time period. Nor have the Lola actress and Brooklyn liked any of Victoria's. Brooklyn did, however, open up about the only thing he and wife Nicola argue over amid the ongoing feud with his famous family. Despite their troubles, the hunk suggested the couple, who wed in 2023, are still very much in the honeymoon stage and only disagree over the thermostat. They transferred onto the yacht The trio caught up after a few days away from each other The father-son duo dried off after a fun afternoon in the sea He told GQ: 'By the way, that's the only argument me and my wife have, the temperature in the room. She loves it'. 'She runs cold, so she always wants it all hot all the time. I always run hot, and I like to have it a little bit colder, so we meet in the middle.' It was previously revealed that Brooklyn and Nicola's Instagram accounts no longer follow his younger brothers Cruz and Romeo in the latest family drama. However, Brooklyn's friends told MailOnline 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. 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, 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.

Charles and William should accept Harry's olive branch
There is nothing sadder or more depressing than a family feud; particularly one where a parent, ill with cancer, is estranged from one of their two children. Life is short and precious; the graveyards are full of 'irreplaceable' CEOs, editors, politicians… and kings. The only people we are truly irreplaceable to are our families. That is why King Charles and Prince William should not just accept Harry's olive branch – he offered this weekend to share his official diary with his father and brother so his activities don't unintentionally eclipse theirs on the front pages – but do so quickly. The dreaded 'palace sources' indicate that this gesture by Harry will go some way to mollifying his father (Charles was apparently miffed that Harry's trip to see landmines in Africa this month inadvertently knocked Queen Camilla's birthday portrait off the front pages of the papers, which is why they are going to sync calendars from now on). But all this talk of dovetailing schedules and the King's people talking to Harry's people is ridiculous. Whether we are princes or paupers, family is family: sometimes, our nearest and dearest drive us nuts; sometimes, we may not love their choice of partner; sometimes, they behave in ways which hurt or humiliate. But them's the breaks! Blood is thicker than water. Our kin are our kin. The point of family is we look past faults and embrace the love that binds; that we bite our tongues when we want to yell, and give them a big hug anyway… because they are our brother, or dad, or sister, which matters much more in the long run than feeling piqued. Those of us who live in complicated families learn to lower our expectations and move on, with love. Harry lost his mum as a child, his dad has cancer and hasn't seen his grandchildren for years; his sister-in-law has also been gravely ill. His brother needs him. The cousins should know each other. This is a time for the Royal family to pull together; to let bygones be bygones. Come on, Charles, show some true statesmanship, befitting your role as the head of the Church of England, and forgive Harry and Meghan before it is too late. That is the yardstick by which you will be judged. We may not all be kings, but we all know what family is about. Harry is trying to meet you on the territory that you most care about (your royal image) – it's up to you as King, but most importantly as his father, to bury the hatchet. Come on, Charles, be the grown-up, the paterfamilias, and get off your high horse... There's no time like the present.

Inside story of footy's saddest family feud as Kieren Jack reconciles with his parents: The 'appalling' texts, the snarky club nickname - and the miracle that ended years of silence. But one wound sti
Inside story of footy's saddest family feud as Kieren Jack reconciles with his parents: The 'appalling' texts, the snarky club nickname - and the miracle that ended years of silence. But one wound still hasn't healed... '@kjack_15 so sad. Dad 200 RL you 200 AFL & you don't want us there, your parents. No appreciation for all the yrs helping you get there.' That July 4, 2016, tweet from the mother of former Sydney Swans co-captain Kieren Jack lit a fuse that had been smouldering for years. For two years, a rift had been quietly growing between Kieren and his parents, nurse Donna and rugby league legend Garry. It wasn't a secret to Swans management - but until Donna decided to air the family's dirty laundry, the public had no idea. Within the Jack family, tensions had long simmered over lifestyle differences, the perceived influence of Kieren's then-girlfriend, now-wife Charlotte Goodlet, and what insiders saw as a creeping jealousy from Donna and Garry as their son grew closer to his partner's family. In addition, Swans staff had privately dubbed Kieren's parents 'the Hungry Jacks' for their reputation of always angling for freebies and special treatment from the club. Donna's anguish was clear, even with the clumsy wording. The incident that had cracked open the fault lines in their relationship was Kieren choosing to give club-issued tickets for his milestone 200th match with the Swans not to his parents, but to his future in-laws. Former Sydney Swans co-captain Kieren Jack was estranged from his parents, nurse Donna and rugby league great Garry, for years before their recent reconciliation. Pictured in 2010 The rift was sparked by Donna and Garry feeling bitter that Charlotte was getting priority club-issued tickets to games. (Charlotte is pictured with Brandon Jack, left, at Kieren's 200th game) Donna's anguish at not being at her son's 200th game was clear, even with the clumsy wording The gesture, seemingly small, was seismic in its impact. In an instant, the Jack family feud became headline news, along with the false suggestion that Charlotte was somehow an unsuitable match for the premiership-winning golden boy and responsible for his rift with his parents. In reality, the 'bikini model', as she was often called in the tabloids, had studied law in both Perth and Sydney and was employed as a producer at Channel Nine. She would go on to become a successful news anchor at Ten and now at Seven. The suggestion that Charlotte was a Meghan Markle-like figure driving a wedge between Kieren and his parents was entirely unfounded. There were also reports of Donna, jealous she was no longer the main woman in her son's life, texting 'the most appalling things to Charlotte'. Meanwhile, as the divide deepened, Kieren's brothers Rhys and Brandon were dragged into the mess. Rhys, the middle son, publicly sided with his mum and dad in a searing open letter. Brandon, a fellow Swans star who went on to become a writer, backed Kieren and remains estranged from Rhys to this day. At the time, the Swans would not be drawn on details of the rift - said to have begun in 2014 when Kieren's parents weren't offered club-issued flights and hotel rooms for the AFL grand final but Charlotte was - telling reporters it was a 'private family matter'. Kieren also tried to keep the matter private, but he made it clear where his loyalties lay during a press conference ahead of his 200th game. The eye of the storm: Kieren Jack and then-girlfriend, now-wife Charlotte Goodlet look tense after a Swans game on July 8, 2016. At the time, his rift with his parents was front-page news When the family feud exploded, there were reports of Donna, jealous she was no longer the main woman in her son's life, texting 'the most appalling things to Charlotte'. (Kieren and Charlotte at pictured at the Swans' Brownlow Medal function in September 2014) He confirmed his parents were welcome to attend his milestone game but would have to pay their own way, then went on to defend his girlfriend in unequivocal terms. 'She [Charlotte] hasn't deserved the treatment that she has received, but she is strong, she's an independent woman,' he told reporters. 'She's not just a model - I can tell you that - and a lot of people here know that. I love her very much and I'm very proud of her.' While he acknowledged 'that my family did a lot for getting me to the position where I am', Kieren appeared to criticise his mother for airing their dirty laundry on Twitter. 'I have been pretty disappointed at the way the situation has been put out in the public eye,' he said. 'What I will say is my priorities of support are firmly with my partner and my little brother, who I love and care for very much.' But time, as it often does, softened the edges. Brandon Jack (right), who followed his brother to the Sydney Swans before retiring from football to become a writer, sided with Kieren (centre) and Charlotte (left) over his parents The other Jack brother, Rhys, sided with Garry and Donna in the feud - as shown in this July 4, 2016, tweet. To this day, Rhys remains estranged from Brandon Kieren made it clear where his loyalties lay during a press conference ahead of his 200th game Recent statements by Kieren indicate he has mended his once-fractured relationship with his parents, bringing to a close one of the most bitter family feuds in Australian sporting history. The arrival of Kieren and Charlotte's son, Alfie, sparked a shift in perspective that made reconciliation with his parents possible. '[Alfie] was part of the reason we wanted to reconnect, too,' Kieren told the Sydney Morning Herald earlier this month. 'It's small steps, but we're in a much better place now, which is great.' The tone is markedly different from the fractured days of old. However, fans had already noticed the improvement in relations by looking to Garry Jack's social media posts, which now reflect a softer, more reflective tone. The days of public outbursts over ticket snubs are behind him; now, his posts reflect only pride and affection. In a nostalgic Facebook post from a year ago, Garry shared a clip from a 1989 Today Show segment featuring himself, wife Donna, and a very young Kieren. 'Wow 35 years ago, Liz was right - little Kieren didn't go on to play rugby league,' Garry wrote. 'He went on to win an AFL Premiership, played in 3 grand finals, represented Australia against Ireland, won the Best & Fairest with the Sydney Swans & played 256 1st grade games! 'Kieren had a great career, always his own man.' While not every fracture has been fixed, the mood on Garry's social media is cautiously optimistic - a sign the family is slowly rebuilding the bridges once thought burned forever. Footy fans sensed a reconciliation after Garry began posting warm messages about his son on Facebook, including this throwback video from a 1989 Today show appearance 'Always his own man': The days of public outbursts over ticket snubs are behind him; now, Garry's posts reflect only pride and affection for his son Kieren Kieren's reconciliation with his parents comes as he and Charlotte move from Sydney to Perth, where they recently bought a cottage in the western suburb of Swanbourne for $2.25million Father and son were able to repair their relationship before Kieren moved across the country Family estrangement A 2020 Cornell University study shows the average length of a parent–adult child estrangement is 7.9 years. This is about the length of Kieren and Brandon's rift with their parents. Most estrangements are initiated by adult children. They can be painful and confusing for parents, but research indicates most are not permanent. Reconciliation is possible, but time and family therapy are often required. Now, with Kieren and Charlotte expecting twins and living in Perth - where she works as a newsreader for Channel Seven - the former Swans star appears to be turning the page on one of the most painful chapters of his life. One family wound remains unhealed - the estrangement between brothers Brandon and Rhys. In 2019, Rhys, who once dabbled in both rugby league and Aussie rules at a semi-professional level, blasted his older and younger brother in a Sunday newspaper. Not only had Kieren and Brandon become estranged from their parents, Rhys said, but extended family and close friends, too. 'As much as you may seek to avoid it, or rewrite what happened, you can never deny where you've come from and you can never deny the important role your parents played in your upbringing at every step of the journey,' he wrote. 'Those are the people who are worth just as much as any jersey or premiership cup could ever be.' Even now, Brandon remains estranged from Rhys. 'That's the longest estrangement, and one that I just don't really have any thoughts on at the moment,' Brandon recently told the SMH. As for his parents, Brandon, like Kieren, has healed the estrangement. In an interview promoting his second novel, Pissants, he recalled returning to his family home in Wollongong for the first time in six years. As Garry opened the front door to greet him, both men cried.

David and Victoria Beckham narrowly avoid awkward run-in with estranged son Brooklyn and wife Nicole Peltz in sun-soaked St Tropez - following Elton John's 'attempts to end ongoing feud'
David and Victoria Beckham narrowly avoided an awkward run-in with estranged son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz in sun-soaked St Tropez last week. The former footballer, 50, and fashion designer, 51, arrived in the swanky south of France for their annual summer break on a £16M yacht, while their eldest son, 26, holidayed on his billionaire father's boat nearby. David and Victoria were joined on the lavish getaway by the rest of their children; Harper, 14, and Romeo, 22, while youngest son Cruz, 20, 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. 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. 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. Soaking up the sunshine on their £16 million vessel, David and Victoria were seen making the most of the picturesque French weather. Every the doting dad, David embraced his daughter Harper as they boarded a speedboat to take them to the shore. While her second son Romeo enjoyed jet ski ride in the sunshine, Victoria opted for a spot of downtime on the yacht, before changing into a chic yellow satin dress and a matching hat for the outing. The couple traded in their £5million yacht for the much bigger vessel last year, and had been pictured on it sailing around Miami. Amid his own lavish getaway Brooklyn embraced his billionaire father-in-law in snaps from the family getaway to St Tropez, while estranged mum Victoria snubbed him from her own family tribute. He enjoyed a friendly beer with Nelson Peltz, 83, before packing on the PDA with wife Nicola, 31, onboard the businessman's superyacht. Meanwhile back home Victoria honoured her own father-in-law Ted Beckham on his 77th birthday with a family snap, that did not include her eldest son and his wife. She captioned the post: 'Happy birthday @tedbeckham kisses' before going on to tag sons Romeo, Cruz as well as daughter Harper. 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.'
