Brooklyn sparked renewed speculation of a family rift after making a brief, under-the-radar trip to West London without seeing his parents.
Sources told Page Six that the 26-year-old skipped any contact with David and Victoria while visiting the UK capital over the weekend to shoot a campaign for Moncler, part of the brand partnership he shares with wife Nicola Peltz.
