Brooklyn had previously praised his mother as the ‘best mum in the world’ in a post shared with Instagram followers on Wednesday.  

The photographer has largely been separated from his family during the coronavirus pandemic and has spent much of the last 12-months with his fiancée, the American actress Nicola Peltz.  

It’s understood that the couple are living together after their wedding, originally planned for 2021, was postponed until 2022.
