It’s been three years since Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz said ‘I do’ in an eye-wateringly expensive wedding with Hollywood guests that left even Posh and Becks stunned

It was the celebrity wedding of the year, packed with glamour, designer fashion, and a price tag that reportedly left even the Beckhams stunned.

But behind the scenes of Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz’s eye-wateringly expensive nuptials, rumours of a rift have continued to swirl after the couple failed to attend David Beckham’s 50th birthday party – despite the rest of the family putting on a united front.

Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, said “I do” in April 2022 in a jaw-dropping £3 million ceremony at the Peltz family’s £76 million Palm Beach estate. The A-list bash included a Valentino couture gown, a Dior tux, Hollywood stars like Eva Longoria and Serena Williams, and a performance by Snoop Dogg.

It was a party to rival any royal wedding – and far more expensive than the £750,000 Posh and Becks splashed out in 1999 on their own famous big day.

But it wasn’t long before whispers of a Beckham-Peltz family feud began making headlines. Nicola and mother-in-law Victoria Beckham were said to be at the heart of it, with sources claiming tension brewed in the lead-up to the big day.

Reports at the time claimed that Victoria was disappointed Nicola chose to wear a Valentino dress rather than a dress designed by her own label.

Nicola later denied the rumours, calling them “hurtful”, but fans noticed the frosty vibes when neither side publicly posted photos together after the ceremony.

“I was going to [wear Victoria Beckham] and I really wanted to, and then a few months down the line, she realised that her atelier couldn’t do it, so then I had to pick another dress,” she told Variety at the time.

“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.”

Brooklyn, now going by Peltz-Beckham, has insisted that “everyone gets along”, but speculation hasn’t stopped – especially after the couple skipped the 2025 Met Gala, one of fashion’s biggest nights, after backlash over not attending David Beckham’s 50th birthday party.

Insiders claimed the pair pulled out due to renewed scrutiny over the alleged family drama.

The Beckham family had celebrated the footballer’s birthday on three occasions – an intimate family event at their Cotswolds home, a trip to France and the final event – a boozy dinner party held in Notting Hill, London.

Brooklyn and Nicola had jetted into London for the final night of celebrations but ultimately failed to turn up, allegedly leaving David heartbroken. It’s claimed that Brooklyn did not want to be around his brother Romeo’s girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, who Brooklyn had a brief relationship with.

Despite the supposed rift, their wedding was nothing short of spectacular. Nicola’s gown was hand-crafted in Rome, and Brooklyn’s emotional vows left not a dry eye in the house.

David’s heartfelt speech and Victoria’s elegant silver gown were also standout moments in a wedding dripping with designer flair. There were said to be around 500 high-profile guests attending the big day.

Nicola also opted to have her grandmother as her maid of honour, while the groomsmen were kitted out in Dior suits. Nicola’s stylist, Leslie Fremar, said that the bride’s wedding gown, with its spectacularly ornate French lace veil, was the most beautiful dress she had ever seen.

Brooklyn was seen tearing up as his wife-to-be walked down the aisle, while Nicola said it was her mother who “really put this whole thing together” during a speech.

The couple, who started dating in 2019 and got engaged the following summer, are said to be positioning themselves as a next-gen power duo.

EXCLUSIVE: Liam Gallagher’s sweet adoption story of a street dog from Thailand melted the hearts of the public last year and now the man who rescued the animal has opened up on the moment

Niall Harbison’s stories of street dogs in Thailand have been keeping social media users enthralled since his move to the Asian country in 2022. The Irish native upped sticks and set up a charity in a bid to help the thousands of animals in need.

Its rapid growth now sees his Happy Doggo organisation to sterilise 7,000 dogs and feed 300,000 each month. However, it’s his rescue stories that continue to capture the attention of his audience.

With around five million followers across platforms, with 1.3million watching his Instagram content, Niall boasts a number of high-profile names as his followers, including Gemma Atkinson, Sam Fender, Charlie Lawson and Ruth Langsford.

But it was when one certain name reached out to him in an adoption enquiry that Niall thought someone was on a wind-up. Speaking exclusively to the Mirror, Niall admitted Britpop icon Liam Gallagher’s online form surprised him.

And he admitted within minutes he knew the type of person he was dealing with – and was more than happy to let dog Buttons “win the jackpot”.

After explaining the surreal moment of seeing the Gallagher household looking to adopt Buttons, Niall confessed it seemed strange talking to Liam on a Zoom call to vet his character. “Up popped Liam Gallagher on the screen with his partner,” Niall said. “I’m asking him questions, thinking ‘this is nuts’, but was really funny was, I thought ‘it must be the wife that’s watching this on Instagram and she’s dragged him in to make sure they get the dog’.

“But then he started to open up [about the other dogs on Niall’s social media]. It was a real mind blower to be honest.

“He’s a real funny, just genuine dog lover, you know? He’s just very, very funny and loves the dogs.”

The former head chef went on: “It would have been tricky if you got a celebrity and they weren’t [suitable]. We’d have to say no. But with him, it wasn’t even a question. The only question was they had a couple of cats so we had to test Buttons with a couple of cats to make sure, but he was the ideal owner, I’d say.”

And he joked that he felt like saying to Liam that he is “softening” his reputation. “I think people who like dogs just melt. It makes you see a different side to people, absolutely.”

And Niall’s link-up with Liam didn’t end there, with the singer playing his part in helping to keep the organisation carrying out its work. Last year he made an impressive £25,000 donation.

“I’ve never asked him to do anything,” Niall revealed. “But they have donated to the hospital. He did a tour and they had a big ball on the middle of the tour, like a globe, and they auctioned that off at the end of the tour for £25,000, which was just mind blowing and they donated the money to the hospital.

“In terms of adopting, it wasn’t just adopting the dog, it was everything else they’ve done and they’re very nice people.”

At the time of the adoption, Niall shared Buttons’ journey on social media. He wrote: “I get messages from him and his lovely partner and they are besotted by little Buttons….Well done little Buttons. You were brave enough to invite yourself in looking for a better life and look at you now on the telly with a rock star dad.”

Niall was talking to the Mirror ahead of the launch of his second book titled Tina: The Dog Who Changed the World. His first book, Hope: How Street Dogs Taught Me the Meaning of Life, became an international best seller.

His latest offering follows the story of a dog Niall came across that was shackled to a short chain and in a poor state of health. It was a scenario that reminded him of his personal battle with addiction and he knew he had to rescue her immediately.

Despite her terrible treatment at the hands of humans, she refused to distrust them and only opened her heart wider. Following her death last year, Tina has inspired Niall to create a sanctuary for dogs to recuperate, and the idea for Tina’s hospital was born.

The book also touches on other heartwarming stories from Niall’s time in Thailand, including with Internet famous pooches, Alba and Cindy Crawford. Both animals went viral as Niall shared their story with his followers.

All proceeds from the book will go towards continuing to build the hospital. Speaking of the set-up, Niall said: “Tina was a great part of my life. We’ve actually got the hospital working at the moment. The big hospital is being built.

“But the field hospital is up and running and operating on dogs in there. But it’s built all around Tina’s grave. It’s been very hard to get it this far, but Tina’s right there beside it so I just look at her every day. There’s dogs being treated right beside where she used to hang out in the hammock so it’s come full circle and I’ve kept my promise to her.”

Tina: The Dog Who Changed the World is available to purchase from May 8.
