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.
The Spice Girls reunited in 2007 for a UK tour, much to fans’ delight. However, while performing with Sporty, Baby, and Ginger Spice, Victoria revealed bandmate, Scary Spice, aka Melanie Brown, left her “upset”.

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.
Since Brooklyn slammed his parents and said he does not “want to reconcile” with Victoria and David, bombshell after bombshell has fallen.

In 2022, Brooklyn and Nicola wed.
The Beckham family war continues to wage, with shocking details about the feud emerging overnight. When Brooklyn, 26, issued a six-page statement on his Instagram breaking down – in gory detail – his side of the Beckham family row, it sent the internet into a frenzy.
From the now-infamous “inappropriate” dance Victoria, 51, is alleged to have performed that saw her “grinding” and “nuzzling” her eldest son at his wedding to Nicola Peltz, 31, to claims his family tried to get him to sign away the rights to his own name, one thing was made abundantly clear by the amateur photographer: he has no intention of reconciling with his family anytime soon.
Brooklyn also claimed his brothers of being “sent to attack” him on social media last year and accused his parents of caring more about “Brand Beckham” and presenting a picture-perfect image over their internal relationships. But whether the family’s brand can weather this new storm remains to be seen, with new allegations from both camps emerging constantly.

The Mirror takes a look at the latest claims in the raging family feud that’s captured the public’s attention…
Brooklyn was “turned against his family,” Nicola said.
In his explosive public statement, which one expert dubbed a “last resort” move amid the ongoing estrangement, Brooklyn accused his family of trying to sabotage his relationship with Nicola from the start – but insiders close to the Beckhams insist that Nicola is to be found at the root of all the turmoil.
Since before my wedding, Brooklyn alleged that “my parents have tried incessantly to break us.” It hasn’t stopped, either. ” He insisted the “narrative” that he is being “controlled” is totally incorrect, and alleged that, “Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children.
They resisted me signing before my wedding date because that would set off the agreement’s terms. The payday was affected by my holdout, and they haven’t treated me similarly since. ” “
However, sources reportedly revealed that Brooklyn’s statement implied that the trademark fiasco was not as black and white. According to The Mail, Sir David and Victoria made the request as part of a new agreement that the footballing legend was entering that would see him sell more than half of DB Ventures to Authentic Brands Group for £200 million and that would give his new partners “some rights over their surname.”
An insider told the outlet, “The agreement that Brooklyn was asked to sign was to protect his rights because his parents have commercial partners who have some rights over the Beckham name, and so it ensures that the kids are carved out of that. “Brooklyn was “turned against” signing on the dotted line, according to sources who also claimed Nicola helped persuade him it was a bad idea.
Brooklyn’s wedding was “nuzzling and grinding,” according to Victoria.
After Brooklyn claimed that Victoria ‘hijacked’ his first dance and grooved “very inappropriately” on him, making him “uncomfortable” during his wedding reception, memes and jokes went viral in their thousands on social media. According to a source, Victoria, a fashion designer, is “really embarrassed” because she is being mocked online. “It’s just devastating to her,” the source said.
According to Brooklyn, “My mother allegedly snuck my first dance with my wife, which had been scheduled weeks in advance of a romantic love song.” “In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead. In front of everyone, she danced very inappropriately on me. In my entire life, I have never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated. ” “
He continued, adding that he and Nicola renewed their vows last year to “create new memories” separate from the Beckham clan. According to The Sun, Nicola was upset and “upstaged” by the fact that during the dance, Victoria was “grinding” and “nuzzling” Brooklyn.
It has since been counter-claimed that Brooklyn and Nicola had already had their first dance hours before and that boogie with Marc Anthony, which is also said to have involved David and their youngest Harper, was a ‘wholesome family dance’.
Victoria, a fashion designer, is said to have been “a little tipsy and having fun,” but “there was no malice there”; quite the opposite . ” The source added the fall out with her son has “utterly broken her”. According to Nicola, a different source claimed she had a “tantrum” and cried throughout the reception, which “soured the entire evening.” She expressed her emotions in a very, very clear way on the day.
The whole problem, one person close to the Beckham camp claimed, was that Nicola and her family did not want Brooklyn to dance with his mum, despite it being a tradition in the US and her dancing with her billionaire dad, Nelson Peltz. Nicole was so upset about it that she didn’t want him to dance with his mother at all. However, everyone in the room enjoyed themselves and were enjoying themselves. It was a brilliantly fun moment and no one there raised any concerns. It seems strange that it is now out.
‘Video evidence’ is held by Brooklyn.
One guest seemed to confirm Brooklyn’s version of events when it comes to the “inappropriate” dancing of his mother – and it’s been reported that only two people have access to evidence that of exactly what happened: the bride and groom.
Guests at the glitzy wedding were forced to hand over their smartphones, so only the official videographer took any footage of the night itself. This means that only Brooklyn and Nicola have the power to confirm once and for all exactly what this “inappropriate” dance looked like. A source told the Mail that the 26-year-old feels “pushed to breaking point” and if the feud goes much further, it could see him and his wife release the tape once and for all, but he might not want to “relive” the embarrassing moment.
“Brooklyn has the upper hand when it comes to the video of Nicola’s wedding to him, where she dances inappropriately.” You can completely understand why Brooklyn would never have wanted the footage made public. He has remained silent about his experiences with his family and, in particular, how deeply depressed his wedding day was by his mother. He is now speaking out about it.
The release of the footage could provide the ultimate proof that everything Brooklyn has claimed is completely accurate because “countless people are now speculating about how inappropriate Victoria’s performance really was.” The only person who can lawfully release that footage is Brooklyn himself. And despite being clearly pushed to the breaking point, he may still feel uncaring, especially on such a public level. ” “
One guest seemed to confirm Brooklyn’s version of events, Stavros Agapiou, the husband of celebrity DJ Fat Tony who was in attendance on the big day. He reportedly stated in a since-deleted comment that he was telling the truth when he went there and that he was. The only thing that can be seen right now is, “Good on him for finally speaking out!” ” “
The “toilet outburst” of Nicola’s father
At their wedding, where it appears that Nelson Peltz, Nicola’s billionaire father, had a sort of temper tantrum, new reports have emerged.
One of the guests at the lavish ceremony nipped inside the mansion to use the facilities, which is alleged to have annoyed the billionaire, who “ticked off” the guest in question for not making use of the temporary portaloos that were there for the occasion.
David and Victoria are said to be quite shocked by this. “The Beckhams kept themselves to themselves,” at the wedding, a source told the Mail, “as there were tensions. By that point, their ties to Nelson and Claudia had begun to deteriorate. ” “
In the build up to the wedding, Nelson fired a wedding planner after only nine days of employing them, just weeks before the big day. He allegedly claimed to the Financial Times that the nickname was “probably true” and that they had sued him.
Nicola snubbed Roma’s girlfriend.
One person in particular reportedly had a pretty miserable time at the nuptials – Romeo Beckham’s girlfriend at the time, Mia Regan.
After Nicola allegedly took her place, she was made to feel completely unwelcome, according to sources. A source close to the Beckhams told the Mail that “Nicola appeared to have a real problem with Mia.” “She just didn’t seem to like or warm to her – and at the wedding it seemed to be very obvious. Mia is a lovely girl, and she’s just getting started.
The source continued, “It’s very unfair to assume that Brooklyn and Nicola were the victims that day.”
Brooklyn’s personal crisis
Brooklyn has been a bright light since he was born, with everything from good photo shoots to cute red carpet poses with his mother to no denying that the 26-year-old has faced serious scrutiny from a young age. He has tried various avenues, including photography, fashion, and cooking, and has frequently been criticized for his efforts as an adult.
Finding yourself in the public eye leaves little room for error – and Victoria and David are reported to be feeling “quite an element of guilt” by insiders for their role in keeping their eldest son in the spotlight.
Mayah Riaz, a PR expert, tells the Mirror: “Children raised in well-known families frequently don’t realize where the brand ends and where they begin. That has an impact on one’s sense of self-worth in the future. ” “
A young person’s development of a sense of self that is distinct from public expectations is harder, according to Mayah. “However, participation does not automatically equal exploitation, especially when it’s framed as family rather than commerce. The significance of the story’s nuance frequently vanishes in the news. ” “
Meanwhile, Dr Jane Halsall, a chartered counselling psychologist, believes that Brooklyn’s uncharacteristic outpouring – that is without doubt going to be difficult for his PR-savvy family to receive – will have been borne of a desperate need to take back a sense of control. Speaking out loud after a while of silence is frequently not impulsive, but a last-resort boundary, she tells the Mirror.
Vernon Kay, a presenter for BBC Radio 2, stated that he was “fed up” on Wednesday morning after being wet while driving to work.

After making his way to work on Wednesday, Vernon Kay was left feeling depressed (Image: bbcradio2/Instagram).
Vernon Kay joked he might be committing a “sackable offense” after he considered stripping down to his boxers in the BBC 2 studio. But the 51-year-old concluded “you can’t do that anymore” as he was left feeling “fed up” on air.
Vernon has been a regular fixture on BBC radio since he rejoined the station in 2021 as a cover presenter for Rylan Clark’s Saturday show. He later went on to act as a cover presenter for the likes of veteran broadcaster Steve Wright and breakfast host Zoe Ball.
In 2023 Vernon landed a permanent role on the station, being announced as legendary presenter Ken Bruce’s replacement on the mid-morning slot. On air Vernon likes to share an insight into both his professional and personal life.
Vernon revealed that he had cycled to work on his morning commute on Wednesday morning. The presenter felt as though he needed to cool down and dry off in the studio despite the elements.
He made the revelation after the weather forecast said it was going to be a damp day across the United Kingdom. Vernon said: “It’s going to be awful, I’m freezing.
No, I’m already drained and exhausted this morning. If I took my pants off and sat in my undies because my jeans are wet through, it would be a sackable offense since I cycled in and it’s chucking it down outside.
“Times have changed, and I can’t do that anymore.” I could accomplish that if I had a blanket. I’m soaked to the skin and going to have a cold, to be honest. I need to get my cockles to warm up, that’s what it’s called. Since I’m sat here wearing dreaded jeans and putting on a fire, I’m aware that I’m going to get a sniffle.
Vernon later realized he was traveling with his gym shorts in the studio. At Radio 2, he joked that while his knees were “a little nobby,” his “pins were alright” to leave while his pants dried off.
Elsewhere Vernon revealed earlier this week that he was once snubbed by a BBC legend after he appeared on a hit ITV show. Vernon appeared on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! in 2020.
He finished third on the show ahead of fellow radio presenter Jordan North and author Giovanna Fletcher. The series was filmed at Gwrych Castle in Wales, due to coronavirus restrictions at the time.
Vernon says that during his early days at the BBC, he met Tony Blackburn, the former BBC Radio 1 presenter who appeared on I’m A Celeb himself during the inaugural series in 2002. Speaking during his show on Tuesday, Vernon explained: “I remember when I first joined Radio 2 on a regular basis and Tony was in, I think I was covering for Rylan at the time, and Tony was knocking about. [Mimicking] ‘Hey Vernon, hi, yeah great, saw you on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of here!’
“Yes, I enjoyed it, you enjoyed it too,” I said. I won, but I shouldn’t have mentioned it. I didn’t vote for you despite my best efforts to think of you. Like, Tony, cheers. Thank you, pal. Yes, I did vote against the opposing candidate. Thank you, mate, what a legend Tony Blackburn.
The presenter was referred to as “one of the greats,” according to Vernon. He said, “With Tony, you can just sit and take it in like when you sit with the greats, Bob Harris, Gary [Davies] and Mark [Radcliffe],” “I just sit and take it in.” They have done it, followed the path, and have a wealth of knowledge. Tony was known for playing records on a record player while also speaking. I’m so inept at using a pen that I can’t even talk.
