Three years after their wedding, Brooklyn claims his parents David and Victoria Beckham “ruined” their vow renewal ceremony.

Three years after their wedding, Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham exchanged vows.
Many people were left stunned this week as Brooklyn Beckham launched a scathing online attack on his famous parents in a blunt six-page Instagram statement. Brooklyn, 26, accused his parents David and Victoria Beckham of controlling him his entire life, ruining his wedding and putting “Brand Beckham” above him and his wife Nicola Peltz, 31.
In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Brooklyn claimed that his parents had been “trying endlessly to ruin” their relationship with billionaire Nicola. He added that despite his fashion designer mother’s exuberant design, Nicola’s dress was “cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour.” ”
On top of this, Brooklyn alleged mum Victoria, 51, humiliated him at his wedding by dancing “inappropriately” during their first dance.
In Palm Beach, Florida, in April 2022, a famous wedding took place. 500 people attended the lavish ceremony, which also included many celebrities.

Brooklyn and Nicola recited their vows in August of 2025, just three years after their initial wedding. With less than 20 guests, the celebration at Nicola’s family home in Westchester, New York, was much smaller, more intimate.
The ceremony was officiated by Nicola’s father, Nelson Peltz, and Nicola even donned a replica of her mother’s wedding dress from 1985.
Notable: Brookyn’s brothers Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and his sister Harper, 14, neither attended the ceremony nor did David and Victoria.
The vow renewal, according to Brooklyn and Nicola, was about renewing their romance and creating beautiful memories of their lives.
Without prior authorization, content cannot be displayed.
A touching two-word statement, “Only love,” was posted alongside photos from the ceremony at the time. “
This statement seems to point out that the vow renewal was meant to be about the couple exclusively, not about drama, speculation, or other forms of noise. It purposefully shifts focus away from gossip to intimacy.
Brooklyn’s reference to emotional strain in some of their previous wedding may point out that “only love” existed at this time.
He titled the post, “Forever my girl,” to express his support for his wife in a separate post about the ceremony, which Brooklyn only shared.

According to reports, Victoria has been ‘in bits’ over Brooklyn’s statement this week, with sources close to the Beckhams telling The Mirror: “Victoria is on the floor, shocked to pieces that her son would do this.
Everyone is shocked, they say. However, Victoria is completely unmoved by this. She worries, too, that Brand Beckham’s career will end with accusations of falsehood and pretended relationships, just like David. They are concerned about what else he will release. “
The news has been flooded with the feud between Brooklyn Beckham and his parents David and Victoria Beckham after his scathing statement this week – but do you think they will reconcile?

Brooklyn Beckham has seemingly cut ties with his parents Victoria and David Beckham – but is it for good? The amateur chef issued a scathing rant at his parents this week, with ‘Brand Beckham’ unlikely to ever be the same again.
In a lengthy statement, Brooklyn wrote: “I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private. Unfortunately my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.
“I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life. For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.”
He later added that his parents had been “trying endlessly to ruin my relationship” since before his wedding and claimed that his parents “repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name”,

In his statement, he backed his wife Nicola Peltz and said she was “consistently disrespected” by his family. He added: “No matter how hard we’ve tried to come together as one. My mum has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable.
“Despite this, we still travelled to London for my dad’s birthday and were rejected for a week as we waited in our hotel room trying to plan quality time with him. He refused all of our attempts, unless it was at his big birthday party with a hundred guests and cameras at every corner. When he finally agreed to see me, it was under the condition that Nicola wasn’t invited. It was a slap in the face. Later, when my family travelled to LA, they refused to see me at all.”
David has since broken his silence following Brooklyn’s statement, where he did an interview about social media and using his platform. In it, he said: “I have tried to do the same with my children, to educate them.
“They make mistakes, but children are allowed to make mistakes. That is how they learn. That is what I try to teach my kids.’ You sometimes have to let them make those mistakes as well.”

Victoria has also posted for the first time since the comments made by Brooklyn but she made no reference to the ongoing family feud as she wished her Spice Girls bandmate Emma Bunton a happy 50th birthday.
Cruz Beckham’s gigs sell out instantly following his big brother’s bombshell statement on Instagram as he continues his dream to become an indie rockstar

Budding indie rockstar Cruz Beckham’s upcoming tour sold out on Wednesday morning mere minutes after it went on sale, which the singer proudly shared on his Instagram stories.
The youngest of the Beckham clan, who performs with his band Bruz Beckham and the Breakers, is kicking it off with an intimate gig at London’s 150-seater Courtyard Theatre on March 27 – and excitement for the live gigs, particularly amid the furore surrounding the Beckham family, is clearly sky high.
Just hours before Brooklyn’s explosive post dropped, Cruz announced on his own social media that he was going on tour for the first time , and would be performing a special one-night-only gig at London’s The Courtyard Theatre.

Alongside a snap of a ” Cruz Beckham and The Breakers” poster including details of the London date, the 20-year-old wrote: “First of many gigs go on sale at 10 Am on Wednesday, A night of new music, and a few you know (tickets in bio) can’t wait to see ya there.”
The post, which received a notable ‘like’ from his mum Victoria – now the focus of intense speculation after Brooklyn slammed her ‘embarrassing’ and ‘inappropriate’ dancing at his 2022 wedding to Nicola Peltz, came after a post released the previous day.
It teased a “show announcement on Monday” and featured a slew of photos of the band in a recording studio.
But some of Cruz’s fans have hit out at his big brother, saying his six-page missive against his family had ‘overshadowed’ the budding singer’s big moment.
The 26-year-old aspiring chef has been embroiled in rumours of a family feudwith Victoria and David Beckham for over a year, but he broke his silence on Monday, January 19, and insisted he “does not want to reconcile”.
The shock statementincluded a string of accusations and damning claims about the former Spice Girl and pro footballer, and Brooklyn said he had “no choice” but to “tell the truth about only some of the lies” that have been circulating.
He said his parents had “controlled narratives” about the Beckham family for his “entire life”, and had tried to “endlessly ruin his relationship” with his now wife, Nicola Peltz-Beckham since before their 2021 wedding.
But the timing of the post caused outrage with fans of his younger brother Cruz, 20, and some of them have accused Brooklyn of trying to steal the musician’s thunder.
One person wrote: “Brooklyn knew exactly what he was doing dropping that story at the same time as this. #overshadowed”, and another added: “Your brother is ruining everything your family worked for over a dance and it’s so sad. I’m so sorry he chose today to do this.”
Another suggested Brooklyn was “jealous” of Cruz, adding, “He can talk about it earlier but he chose Cruz’s important moment”.
“He had a lot of time to talk and coincidentally Brooklyn does it at Cruz’s moment,” said another fan.
On X, there were similar sentiments. One user wrote: “Interesting how Brooklyn Beckham tried to overshadow Cruz’s band news by releasing his petty statements just a few hours after Cruz’s announcement. He really is a bitter and petulant person!”
While Brooklyn’s statement was mostly directed at his parents, he seemed to be ruling out any peace-making with any of the family, including his brothers. “I do not want to reconcile with my family,” he wrote. “I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.”
Having trained for years in guitar, piano, drums, and mandolin, Cruz – who decided a career in football like his dad wasn’t for him – began performing with his rock/indie outfit in late 2025, and recently completed 15 unannounced “secret” gigs across the UK to hone his craft.
Reports last year suggested Victoria and David had spent ‘a lot of money’ getting him into the right rooms with movers and shakers of the industry, and in mid-November, Victoria and the family attended one of his low-key gigs in London for friends and family, where they admitted they shared ‘tears of joy and pride’.

Reception for Cruz’s music has largely been positive, with his girlfriend musician Jackie Apostel previously explaining how they first met when put in a studio together to write songs together.
She said: “I went in with an open mind and had no idea what to expect. I left that day knowing you were an unbelievable musician but most importantly that you loved it so much from the bottom of your heart and you would never stop, regardless of what anyone else thought.”
Victoria Beckham, who became famous with the Spice Girls, has been accused by her son Brooklyn of dancing “inappropriately on him” at his lavish wedding to Nicola Peltz.

During the Spice Girls reunion tour, Victoria Beckham acknowledged that her bandmate’s “cruel comment” had left her speechless.
Despite shooting to fame as one fifth of one the biggest girlband’s the UK has ever produced, Victoria Beckham will be the first to admit she’s been awkward and uncomfortable performing in front of judging eyes.
After joining Mel B, Geri Horner, Emma Bunton and Mel B on one reunion tour, the fashion designer said she knew wasn’t at home on stage and has snubbed further live performances. Victoria admitted she was left crushed by one ‘cruel comment’ made during the Spice Girls’ first comeback.
Posh Spice, 51, who has been slammed by her son, Brooklyn, 26, in a seething statement in which he accuses his mum of ‘hijacking’ his first wedding dance, shot to fame with the Wannabe stars before marrying former footballer, David Beckham, making them the ultimate power couple.

Opening up about her music career in her Netflix documentary, Victoria said Mel’s comments made her realise she “didn’t belong on stage.”
She claimed that Melanie B, who had said to me, “Don’t forget where you come from,” and that one of the girls actually said that, which did both upset me.
Then, she continued, “I have never forgotten where I’ve come from.” Posh Spice is always the reason I’m sitting here, and I never forget that. She was great, even if she may have been a little grumpy.
While Victoria acknowledged that the girl group’s return during the tour made her realize that she “didn’t belong on stage,” she said it was “good to be back.”
The mum-of-four was said to be “in bits” after Brooklyn launched his blistering attack on his famous family on Monday. In a six-page public rant, the hot sauce enthusiast made a jaw-dropping claim about Victoria’s behaviour at his wedding to Nicola Peltz.
He claimed that my mother “hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance of a romantic love song, and that he had done it inappropriately” at his wedding.
Marc Anthony called me to the stage in front of our 500 wedding guests, which was scheduled for my wife’s romantic dance, but instead my mother was seated nearby and waited with me. In front of everyone, she danced very inappropriately on me. In my entire life, I have never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated.
Fans discovered footage of Victoria dancing at a number of family gatherings after the bombshell. The mother-of-four appears to be in great spirits when she is seen letting loose at the beach with son Cruz and even daughter-in-law Nicola.
Posting the carousel of clips on Instagram, one fan wrote: “It just doesn’t make sense to me that VB is out there dancing inappropriately. The woman is your average mother after a few too many vinos.”

They continued, “Make it make sense??????” as the rest of us were clearly perplexed by Brooklyn’s comments. What’s happening here? VB will comment, right? The Beckham-Peltz first dance footage is it visible? Will I ever be able to fall asleep? !!!
Another person agreed and said, “Her little dances are a whole vibe, he needs to stop!” I have no idea how much she hurt her son, but she was probably drunk at the wedding.
