Real reason Brooklyn Beckham renewed vows after tears at first wedding

Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz have renewed their wedding vows just three years after their 2022 bash was said to have been the catalyst for a major rift between David and Victoria

Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz.

Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz have renewed their wedding vows in a lavish ceremony, attended by members of the bride’s family.

As the Beckham feud hits an all time low, fans were shocked to see that neither David or Victoria, their other three children or extended family were invited to the ceremony. Sources have now revealed that the family were not even told about the vow renewal.

Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, have only been married three years. Their last $3million wedding hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons, after a series of revelations about their special day came to light.

Nicola was said to have been left in ‘tears’ by one upsetting moment. In a perceived dig at Victoria second time round, Nicola opted to wear her own mother’s wedding dress after u-turning on her decision to wear one of Victoria’s designs at her first wedding.

Drama was bubbling under even before Nicola and Brooklyns said ‘I do’ in 2022, when Nicola opted to wear a Valentino Couture gown in an apparent snub to her mother-in-law.

Tensions between the couple finally came to a head after Victoria, 51, allegedly ‘hijacked’ a dance at Brooklyn’s 2022 Palm Beach wedding to actress Nicola Peltz, 30. The move went down like a lead balloon in the room sources claimed, seeing as though it was the song the happy couple had planned to dance to together.

“Marc Anthony, who is a friend of the Beckhams, offered to perform as a gift at the wedding,” a source told People at the time. “Before the song began, Marc Anthony asked Brooklyn to come to the stage, and then announced, ‘The most beautiful woman in the room tonight, come on up…. Victoria Beckham!'”

The source claims that the new bride allegedly “felt that Victoria ruined her wedding, and couldn’t understand why.”

A second insider said the entire room was so shocked that Anthony called Victoria’s name over Nicola’s that a complete silence followed.

“It was such a jaw-dropping moment that it left the whole room in absolute shock — you could hear a pin drop,” the second source adds.

Guests at the $3million bash went into a deeper tailspin when Victoria insisted on a slow dance with her son. It wasn’t appropriate,” the source says of the alleged moment, adding that everyone then saw “Nicola run from the room crying.”

“Nicola felt like Victoria did this on purpose, when she knew it was a pre-planned romantic dance meant for Brooklyn and Nicola. What she couldn’t understand was why.”

Another guest at the wedding had a differing version of events, saying the newly weds had their first official dance earlier in the evening to Elvis Presley’s Only Fools Rush In as they had wanted. While Nicola had a separate dance with her father later in the evening.

They say Marc Anthony – a close friend of David and Victoria – played a song as Brooklyn danced with his mum and ‘everyone had a great time.’

As the rumours about a wedding night upset continued to swirl, Nicola spoke out on the rumours herself – and defended the Beckham clan.

In an interview with The Sunday Times, Peltz Beckham said: “It’s not a feud! I keep seeing everywhere that word, ‘feud, feud, feud’.

“I don’t know why they say feud. I mean, maybe they picked up on something? And now they’re labelling it ‘feud’?”

She added: “No family is perfect!”

Nicola also directly addressed the claims that she decided not to wear a dress specifically designed for her by Victoria

Peltz Beckham said: “I think it all started because I didn’t end up wearing Victoria’s wedding dress.

“But the real truth is, I really, really wanted to wear it and I thought it was so beautiful that Brooklyn’s mom got to make that for me! And I was really excited to wear it! And I didn’t end up wearing it.”

Skin-firming £10 serum-moisturiser called ‘alternative to Botox’ now down from £30

Boots’ popular £10 Tuesday deals are back for another 24 hours, and this two-in-one anti-wrinkle cream with hundreds of five-star reviews is our top pick to buy today

Beauty fans know that Tuesdays are the best days to shop for top-ups or new treats, because it means that Boots’ much-loved £10 Tuesday offers are running, with hundreds of products reduced down to £10 for one day only. And if you’re wondering what’s worth buying from the high street retailer today, we think this two-in-one, wrinkle-reducing moisturiser is one not to miss.

For today only, Boots has slashed the price ofOlay Regenerist 2in1 Anti-Wrinkle Active Firming Serum & Cream down from its usual £30 to a tenner – although as it works as your serum and moisturiser in one, you’re potentially saving even more compared to buying two separate products.

Why we think it’s worth adding to your shopping basket today is the vast number of impressive customer reviews, with many repeat customers, and one person even calling it “an alternative to Botox” and saying that it has them “looking a decade younger”.

This lightweight serum/moisturiser hybrid contains peptides to help to visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles, niacinamide to boost surface cell renewal, and hydrating, moisture-locking glycerin. Olay reports that 97% of testers reported smoother feeling skin after one day, while over time fine lines and wrinkles are visibly reduced.

Remember that you’ve only got today (Tuesday 12 August) to buy it for £10 at Boots. If you do miss this deal, the next cheapest place you’ll find it is at Amazon, where it’s currently £15.50.

It’s the shopper testimonials, however, that really won us over, with many reporting how they always stock up on this when it’s in the Boots £10 Tuesday sale.

“I have been using Olay Regenerist Serum for years! I’m not sure if it can reduce wrinkles, but using it daily has certainly helped to protect my skin in the ageing process (I’m now 63, looking a decade younger),” one person wrote. “Definitely an alternative to Botox, which has worked for me!”

It’s worth flagging here that no topical product can replicate the muscle-freezing results of Botox, and the phrase ‘Botox in a bottle’ should be treated simply as a catchy marketing term. What skincare products can do is plump, smooth and soften the appearance of lines.

“So easy to apply, smells very pleasant,” another customer wrote. “It’s non-greasy and leaves skin feeling smooth, light and firmer. Noticed a difference after six days – less fine lines and skin is firmer.”

“This is absolutely amazing, I’ve tried loads of different serums but this by far is the best. My skin is so soft now, I absolutely love it,” reads a third review.

One people, however, found it to not quite be a thick enough texture for their liking: “I liked this serum, not as good as my usual product so wouldn’t buy again. Feels a little sticky on my skin initially but once dry is smooth. I prefer a little thicker cream but does make skin look plump and even,” they wrote.

If you too would like a moisturiser with a slightly thicker consistency, there are two that our beauty editor Laura Mulley can’t recommend highly enough, and regularly rebuys: Medik8 Total Moisture Daily Facial Cream, from £20, and Skin Rocks The Moisturiser, £58. Although slightly pricier – and you possibly will also need to use a targeted serum underneath – Laura says they’re well worth the money, and as near to ‘perfect’ face creams as you’ll find.

PSG vs Tottenham: UEFA Super Cup – teams, start, lineups

Who: Paris Saint-Germain vs Tottenham Hotspur
What: UEFA Super Cup
Where: Bluenergy Stadium in Udine, Italy
When: Wednesday, August 13 at 9pm (19:00 GMT)

How to follow: We’ll have all the build-up on Al Jazeera Sport from 5pm (15:00 GMT) in advance of our live text commentary stream.

The first major trophy of the season is up for grabs and UEFA Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain will be targeting a fourth title in the calendar year when they face Europa League champions Tottenham Hotspur.

Luis Enrique’s Parisians swept all before them on home soil and in Europe last year, although success wasn’t to follow on the global stage in the summer.

Tottenham manager Thomas Frank inherits a side that secured their first European trophy in more than four decades. The north Londoners, however, finished only one place above the relegation zone in the English Premier League.

Al Jazeera Sport takes a closer look at the match being played at the home of Italian side Udinese.

What is the UEFA Super Cup?

The competition pits the winners of the previous season’s UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League competitions.

How did PSG and Tottenham qualify for the Super Cup final?

PSG hammered Inter Milan 5-0 in the final of last season’s UEFA Champions League.

French teenage sensation, Desire Doue, scored twice and provided an assist as the Italians were swept aside in Munich.

Tottenham overcame Manchester United 1-0 in the final of the UEFA Europa League.

Brennan Johnson scored the only goal of the game in the first half. It wasn’t enough to save Ange Postecoglu’s job as manager, as the Australian was sacked two weeks later following the 17th-place finish in the Premier League.

What trophies did PSG win in their treble last season?

PSG sealed the 2024-25 Ligue 1 season by an incredible 19 points – despite easing off for the final three-winless matches.

The Parisians also sealed the French Cup, beating Reims 3-0, a week before the Champions League final.

What happened to PSG at the UEFA Club World Cup?

Following their treble, PSG had the chance to follow in the footsteps of Manchester City, who lifted five trophies in a calendar year in 2023.

Pep Guardiola’s side followed up the domestic and European treble with wins in the Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup (CWC) that year.

PSG’s chance to replicate that unique achievement was ended by a shock 3-0 defeat by unfancied Chelsea in the final of this year’s expanded CWC.

Who are the UEFA Super Cup holders?

Spanish giants Real Madrid beat Italian side Atalanta 2-0 in the final in Monaco last year.

Real were the Champions League holders, having overcome Germany’s Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in the final the previous season.

Atalanta also topped a German side in the Europa League final the year before, as they beat Bayer Leverkusen 3-0.

Are Real Madrid the record UEFA Super Cup winners?

Yes. The Spanish giants’ victory against Atalanta in 2024 was a record-extending sixth Super Cup victory. It was also the fifth time in 11 years that Los Blancos lifted the trophy.

What happens if you win the UEFA Super Cup?

Both finalists have already qualified for this season’s UEFA Champions League based on their European victories last season.

UEFA retains the official trophy, but a replica, alongside 40 gold medals, are presented to the winners to keep.

How much money does the UEFA Super Cup winner get?

The winners will receive a cheque for 5 million euros ($5.8m) in prize money.

The runners-up don’t fare too badly, receiving 4 million euros ($4.64m).

PSG team news

Midfielder Joao Neves is suspended following his red card in the FIFA World Cup final defeat by Chelsea.

Conversely, Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernandez were both suspended for that final but are free to return for this match.

Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma has been left out of the squad amid increasing reports he will leave the club.

PSG named its squad on Tuesday. Goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier, who recently joined from Lille for just more than 40 million euros ($46.4m), was included along with backup goalie Matvei Safonov.

Tottenham team news

James Maddison tore his ACL in the preseason friendly with Newcastle United and is now set to miss most of the forthcoming campaign.

Dejan Kulusevski, Radu Dragusin and Dominic Solanke all remain sidelined, while Destiny Udogie is also a doubt.

Spurs last week waved goodbye to their captain, Son Heung-min, who joined Major League Soccer side Los Angeles.

Paris Saint-Germain predicted starting XI:

Chevalier; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Nuno Mendes; Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz; Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia

Tottenham Hotspur predicted starting XI:

Vicario; Pedro Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence; Bentancur, Palhinha, Sarr; Johnson, Richarlison, Kudus

Brooklyn’s 5 brutal wedding blows to Beckhams from dress to ‘tragic message’

Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz recently decided to renew their wedding vows after three years – and not a single member of the Beckham family was in attendance

The fallout between the Beckhams and their eldest son Brooklyn has reached a new level.

On 2 August, Brooklyn and his wife of three years, Nicola Peltz, renewed their wedding vows – and they didn’t invite a single member of his family in a brutal snub.

Not only were his parents David and Victoria absent on the day, but so too were his three siblings Cruz, Harper and Romeo, as well as his grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles, and UK-based friends. It’s thought that the first everyone knew about the service was when they read about it in media reports. It comes after the couple snubbed dad David’s 50th birthday celebrations.

Following the ceremony, Nicola took to Instagram to share plenty of photos from the day – and it seemed to include some telling barbs directed at the Beckhams…

No invite

The most obvious snub was the fact that the Beckham family were seemingly not even invited to the ceremony. At the time, David, Victoria and their three younger children – Romeo, Cruz and Harper, were enjoying the annual summer holiday on a yacht in Europe. Tellingly, none of the family have ‘liked’ Brooklyn and Nicola’s Instagram posts marking the occasion – and fans have been quick to question their absence on the social media site.

“Heartbreaking for his parents,” one follower wrote, while a second added: “The fact that none of Brooklyn’s family were there or have like this post ..speaks volumes ..x.” A third said: “This comes across as spiteful.”

The dress

Nicola chose to wear a reworked version of her mother’s 1980s wedding dress for the renewal ceremony. The upcycled dress featured an off-the-shoulder neckline, puff sleeves trimmed with floral appliqués, and a corseted bodice.

Of course, rumours of a fallout between Victoria and her daughter-in-law began when Nicola didn’t wear a wedding dress designed by Victoria for her wedding in 2022, opting instead for a Valentino gown.

Not long after their April wedding, Nicola told Variety that there was no clash over the wedding dress whatsoever, despite the persistent rumors.

“I was going to [wear Victoria Beckham ] and I really wanted to, and then a few months down the line, she realized that her atelier couldn’t do it, so then I had to pick another dress. She didn’t say you can’t wear it; I didn’t say I didn’t want to wear it. That’s where it started, and then they ran with that,” she told the outlet at the time.

The officiant

While David and Victoria were thousands of miles away on the day of the vow renewal, Nicola’s own father Nelson Peltz took on a starring role.

Photos show the 83-year-old billionaire actually officiating the ceremony, which was held on his sprawling estate in Westchester County.

It was a poignant message to David, not least because Brooklyn failed to attend any of his father’s 50th birthday celebrations in May. He also didn’t send either his mum or dad a happy birthday on social media – in stark contrast to a post Brooklyn shared recently for his father-in-law, which included the message: “Happy birthday Nelson x We love you.”

A source told The Sun: “This was the final kick in the teeth for David and Victoria. Seeing Nelson having such a pivotal role at the ceremony was heartbreaking for David especially. Not one member of the 30-plus extended family knew about the wedding, or were invited. His grandparents are devastated too as Brooklyn has always been so close to them.”

‘Only love’

Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, posted multiple romantic carousel posts on Instagram on 11 August, revealing what their ceremony looked like for the first time.

In the first series of photos, which they shared as a joint post, the couple included the caption “only love” – something that raised eyebrows amongst fans given the entire Beckham family’s absence on the day. “Imagine being the parents of Brooklyn and seeing this, so heartbreaking,” one follower noted.

The caption

In one of the posts, Nicola shared some photos with family and loved ones from the intimate ceremony, tagging her brother Bradley Peltz and posing with her parents, Nelson and Claudia Peltz. “This day meant so much to us,” she wrote. Once again, there was no mention of the Beckham family. “Its missing Brooklyn’s family. And you know it,” one follower remarked.

In total Nicola has shared six reels of photos from the day – including images from the afterparty.

The real meaning behind the snub?

Many fans are speculating that the snub actually sends a tragic message and signals Brooklyn’s decision to quit the Beckham family in favour of Nicola and her loved ones.

A source told the Sun: ‘It feels cruel and spiteful. This is no longer a game. It has gone beyond all that. This is a family who feel they have lost their precious boy – and see no way back.

“Honestly, they are now questioning why he even wants to keep the ‘Beckham’ surname – will he revert to Peltz? August 2nd 2025 – is this the day Brooklyn formally declared himself no longer a part of the Beckham family? It certainly feels like it.”
