‘I was at Brooklyn Beckham’s wedding – I know truth about Victoria’s ‘inappropriate’ dance’

Brooklyn Beckham has fired a series of explosive allegations at his parents in a shocking six-page statement – including the claim that his mother Victoria danced ‘inappropriately on him’ after ‘hijacking’ his first dance with new wife Nicola Peltz

Brooklyn Beckham’s feud with his family exploded on Monday night when he took to Instagram to make a series of blistering allegations against his parents – and now one guest at his now-contentious wedding has spoken out.

The 26-year-old shared a six-page statement laying out in extraordinary detail his anger with David and Victoria. His allegations include claims that his parents tried to derail his wedding to Nicola Peltz, that his fashion designer mother “cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour”, and that his family values “public promotion and endorsements above all else”. He wrote: “Brand Beckham comes first,” adding that “family ‘love’ is decided by how much you post on social media”.

Perhaps one of the most extraordinary allegations is that not only did Victoria hijack his first dance with Nicola at their wedding, but that she “danced very inappropriately” on her son. “My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song,” Brooklyn claimed.

“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. She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life. We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment.”

Now a guest who was present at the nuptials – held in April 2022 at Nicola’s family’s Oceanfront Palm Beach estate – has revealed their account from that moment. And they are backing Brooklyn.

Stavros Agapiou (right in the photo) is the partner of top British DJ Fat Tony (left), who was asked to perform at the reception. He spoke about the much-talked about dance in an Instagram comment, writing: “I was there and she did, he’s telling the truth.” The bombshell comment has since been deleted and Stavros has instead posted, “Good on him for finally speaking out!”

It’s not the first time Brooklyn and Nicola’s wedding dance has made headlines. A report from People in May 2025 claimed that Victoria made Nicola cry after taking over the dance. “Marc Anthony, who is a friend of the Beckhams, offered to perform as a gift at the wedding.

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!'” a source said. Another source added: “It was such a jaw-dropping moment that it left the whole room in absolute shock — you could hear a pin drop.”

According to the report, guests were in shock when Victoria started slow dancing with her son. “It wasn’t appropriate,” one source said, while another claimed they saw “Nicola run from the room crying”. A source added: “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.”

However, Vogue has contradicted the claim – stating that the newlyweds’ first dance was to South African singer Lloyiso’s rendition of Elvis Presley’s Can’t Help Falling in Love and that Marc Anthony took to the stage much later at 11pm to perform his track I Need To Know. It says that’s when “Brooklyn invited his mother on stage for a dance and they were joined by David and their 10-year-old daughter, Harper.”

David and Victoria are yet to comment on Brooklyn’s allegations, but sources close to the couple have told the Mirror that Victoria has been left heartbroken by their son’s actions, while David is ‘angry’. “Victoria is on the floor, shocked to pieces that her son would do this. Everyone is in shock,” they said. “But Victoria is totally in pieces over this. But, she is worried, as is David, that this will be the end of Brand Beckham, with the claims of the falseness and pretend relationships; they are worried about what else he is going to come out with.”

Brooklyn’s explosive statement reads in full: “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. Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.

“My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped. My mum cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress. 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 were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated. My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since. During the wedding planning, my mum went so far as to call me “evil” because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra, and Nicola’s Naunni at our table, because they both didn’t have their husbands. Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours.

“The night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was “not blood” and “not family”. Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I’ve received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders. Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last Summer. My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to 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. She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life. We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment.

“My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, 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. My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first. Family “love” is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo op even if it’s at the expense of our professional obligations.

“We’ve gone out of our way for years to show up and support at every fashion show, every party, and every press activity to show “our perfect family!” But the one time my wife asked for my mum’s support to save displaced dogs during the LA fires, my mum refused. The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards. I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life.

Cruz Beckham breaks silence after Brooklyn’s brutal family allegations

After his older brother Brooklyn earlier this week made a number of allegations against the family, Cruz Beckham has broken his silence.

Cruz Beckham has addressed his brother’s ongoing conflict. Brooklyn took to social media to express his entire family’s furor less than 24 hours later.

In a scathing Instagram post, the wannabe chef claimed that his family had attempted to control the narrative surrounding their relatives, as well as attempted to “ruin” his relationship with his wife, Nicola Peltz.

Brooklyn, 26, also asserted that Cruz and Romeo, his brothers, had blocked him on social media over the summer before unblocking him. Cruz has now spoken out despite his parents, Lady Victoria and Sir David Beckham, who have remained silent.

The 20-year-old budding musician appears to be thinking about the ongoing family drama as he posts to his own Instagram page. Cruz isn’t working as hard as he does as he gets ready for a number of intimate shows.

Before the gigs, he revealed that he had taken a photo of his guitar and was nestled in the recording studio. I do not want to reconcile with my family, Brooklym said on Monday. For the first time in my life, I’m standing up for myself instead of being controlled.

My parents have controlled the stories about our family that have been published in the press for my entire life. I was born into a life filled with performative social media posts, family events, and fake relationships. Recently, I’ve seen with my own eyes how frequently they lie in the media, largely at the expense of innocent people, to maintain their own image. But I think truth always emerges.

His family claimed that Nicola was “not blood” and “not family” the evening before his wedding to billionaire Peltz in 2022. “Brooklyn added: “I’ve been receiving endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press at their will,” since I started standing up for myself and my family. My brothers were sent to me on social media, but they never managed to stop me from happening this summer.

He continued, claiming that his family had allegedly “invited women from his past” into their lives and that they have consistently disrespected his wife. No matter how hard we’ve tried to come together as one, my wife has consistently been disrespected by my family. My mother has repeatedly eluded my past by inviting women into our lives in ways that were obviously meant to unease us both.

Victoria Beckham admits she hates ‘nasty children’ in unearthed interview and shares Brooklyn hopes

An unearthed interview with Victoria Beckham reveals her heartbreaking hopes for her now-divorced son as the Beckham family feud escalates due to a public statement and shocking allegations.

Following months of rumors about a serious family feud, Brooklyn Beckham has ruled out any chance of reconciliation with his famous parents. The 26-year-old accused Victoria and David of “controlling” him his entire life and making an effort to “endlessly ruin his relationship” with Nicola Peltz-Beckham, his wife, on Monday.

An unearthed interview from April 1999, the month after Brooklyn was born, reveals how far things have gone for the family while the former Spice Girl and England football ace have been silent about his bombshell statement.

Brooklyn, who was born in 1942 as “Britain’s most famous baby,” and the pop singer, then known as Victoria Adams, and her footballer boyfriend were living in a penthouse apartment in a 100-year-old block in rural Sussex.

In the exclusive interview and photo shoot with OK! They shared their hopes and aspirations for their precious newborn, who Victoria insisted was “not a money-spinner,” and said they felt “so complete” as a family of three.

“It’s just amazing how much you can love another person,” Victoria said. “And I feel really protective of him. When I was in hospital I didn’t see all the people that were outside… I was just in there in my own little world, with Brooklyn, and it was lovely.”

Assistant chef Brooklyn claimed in a lengthy statement that he had been given “no choice” but to “speak for himself and tell the truth and accuse his parents of leaking information about the family. He wrote that “my parents have controlled narratives about our family in the press for their entire lives.” The life I was born into was characterized by the performative social media posts, extended family events, and unauthentic relationships.

In her historic OK, the subject of selling photos of her children was also brought up. Victoria reveals during the interview that she revealed that she “always believed that I was selling pictures of him and that I was doing that.” That was simply cynical behavior.

Brooklyn is the one thing that is completely private for us, which is why I said that right away, which is why we aren’t in the pictures that we have today. He doesn’t spin money. People were complaining that they had “their little asset” when they left the hospital, which was very unfortunate.

In April 1999, Victoria, who turned 25 years old, stressed the value of keeping her and David “level-headed” was paramount. She revealed that many people have said, “Oh Brooklyn’s going to be a very spoilt little boy.”

But I detest evil children. You don’t need to have well-behaved, polite children; I like them. He won’t be spoilt unless he has a good heart. He will be a polite little boy, but it will be obvious that his life will change.

David also addressed the issue of “pushy parents,” adding that he and Victoria were “the most important things in his life” and that he planned to imitate Sandra and Ted’s approach when it came to making big decisions in Brooklyn.

My parents have always been there for me and given me helpful advice, but they ultimately said, “What do you want to do? ” He said, “They left the big decisions up to me,” whether to relocate to Manchester or remain in London and join Tottenham or Arsenal. Never was it “We support Man Utd, so you’re going up there.” Because I believe that’s crucial because you tend to turn the other way when you’re pressured into something.

Victoria added that she wanted to encourage their firstborn to show emotion and to be sensitive, and that she thought it was crucial that he feel he can approach us if he had a problem. But because I like well-behaved kids, I’m going to be strict with him.

David, who was playing for Manchester United at the time, also proudly shared that he had secured a signed Ronaldo football shirt for Brooklyn, and it was ready to be hung up in his nursery. “Before the game I said to Victoria, wouldn’t it be really cool if I got Ronaldo’s shirt signed for Brooklyn?’,” he recalled.

But he left before the game’s conclusion, and I realized, “Oh, I have no chance of getting it now.” So I immediately began playing right back so that I was right next to their bench and immediately asked if I could change after the whistle blew. After the game, he approached me and we exchanged a signed Brooklyn card. I’m pleased with it a lot. It’s a nice thing to keep.

As the Beckham family feud ramps up with a public statement and shocking allegations, an unearthed interview with Victoria Beckham reveals her heartbreaking hopes for her now estranged son

Brooklyn Beckham has ruled out any hopes of a reconciliation with his A-list mum and dad following months of rumours of a serious family fall-out. The 26-year-old broke his silence on Monday to accuse Victoria and David of “controlling” him for his entire life and attempting to “endlessly ruin his relationship” with his wife Nicola Peltz-Beckham.

While the former Spice Girl and England footballing ace have remained publicly silent on his bombshell statement, an unearthed interview from April 1999 – the month after Brooklyn was born – reveals just far off track things have gone for the family.

Then known as Victoria Adams, the pop singer and her footballer beau were living in a penthouse apartment in a 100-year-old block in rural Sussex, and were new parents to four-week-old Brooklyn, who was described at the time as “Britain’s most famous baby”.

In the exclusive interview and photoshoot with OK! magazine, they opened up about the hopes and dreams for their precious newborn – who Victoria insisted was “not a money-spinner” – and said they felt “so complete” as a family of three.

“It’s just amazing how much you can love another person,” Victoria said. “And I feel really protective of him. When I was in hospital I didn’t see all the people that were outside… I was just in there in my own little world, with Brooklyn, and it was lovely.”

In his lengthy statement this week, aspiring chef Brooklyn accused his parents of leaking information about the family and said he’d been left with “no choice” but to “speak for himself and tell the truth”. “For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family,” he wrote. “The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.”

The topic of selling photographs of her children also came up in her historic OK! interview, with Victoria revealing: “I obviously did see a lot of newspaper cuttings and there were people saying that I was selling pictures of him and I was doing this and I was doing that. That was just people being cynical.

“The one thing I said, right from the start, which is why Brooklyn isn’t in the pictures that we’ve done today, is that he’s the one thing that is totally private for us. He’s not a money-spinner. People were saying ‘they left the hospital with their little asset’, and that really hurt a lot.”

Victoria, who turned 25 in April 1999, insisted she didn’t want to raise a “spoilt little boy”, and stressed the importance of her and David staying “level-headed”. “A lot of people have said ‘Oh Brooklyn’s going to be a very spoilt little boy’,” she revealed.

“But I hate nasty children. I like well-behaved, polite children, and you don’t have to have money to have those. The only way he’s going to be spoilt is with love. Obviously he’s going to realise that his life is going to be different but he will be a polite little boy!”

The topic of so-called pushy parents was also addressed, and David said he planned to copy the approach taken by his own parents, Sandra and Ted, when it came to Brooklyn making big life decisions, adding that he and Victoria were “the most important things in his life”.

“My mum and dad have always helped me and given me all the advice that I needed, but in the end they said, ‘What do you want to do?’, and they left the big decisions up to me,” he said. “Whether it was the move up to Manchester or whether to stay in London and play for Tottenham or Arsenal. It was never ‘We support Man Utd, so you’re going up there’. I think that’s important because if you’re pushed into something you tend to go the other way.”

Victoria also said she wanted to encourage their firstborn “to be sensitive, to show his feelings”, adding, “I think it’s very important that he feels he can come to us if he’s got a problem. But I’m going to be strict with him because I do like well-behaved children.”

David, who was playing for Manchester United at the time, also proudly shared that he had secured a signed Ronaldo football shirt for Brooklyn, and it was ready to be hung up in his nursery. “Before the game I said to Victoria, wouldn’t it be really cool if I got Ronaldo’s shirt signed for Brooklyn?’,” he recalled.

“But he went off before the end of the game and I thought, ‘Oh I’ve got no chance of getting it now’…So with five minutes to go, I started playing right back so that I was really near their bench and after the whistle blew, I went straight up to him and just asked if I could change. He came up to me after the game and we swapped and we got it signed for Brooklyn. I’m really pleased with it. It’s something nice to keep.”

Victoria Beckham’s unearthed dancing video leaves fans asking same question

Victoria Beckham’s dance moves became the subject of scrutiny when her son, Brooklyn Beckham, accused her of ‘dancing on him inappropriately’ – and now one unearthed video has fans saying the same thing

Victoria Beckham’s dance moves have become the subject of scrutiny since her son, Brooklyn Beckham, accused her of dancing “inappropriately” on him at his wedding to Nicola Peltz. Now, an unearthed video of the former Spice Girl dancing on a beach with her daughter-in-law has everyone asking the same question.

Brooklyn, 26, accused his 51-year-old mum of “hijacking” his first dance at his multi-million dollar wedding to billionaire heiress Nicola, 31, and claimed in a lengthy Instagram post that it left him humiliated and speechless. Brooklyn’s social media post comes after rumours of a feud between Nicola and Victoria, and the news that in August last year, Brooklyn and Nicola renewed their wedding vows without any of the Beckham family present.

While Victoria and her husband, David Beckham, have remained silent about the ongoing family feud, fans on social media have dug up an old post of Posh Spice that features a video of her dancing on a beach with Nicola back in 2024.

The video was posted to celebrate Nicola’s birthday, and in the post, Victoria described her as “the best dance partner and loving daughter-in-law”, leaving fans all asking the same question about their relationship.

Victoria wrote alongside the video: “Happy birthday @nicolaannepeltz… We love you so much!! Your love, kindness, talent and your ability to dance on sand in a major wedge!! The best dance partner and loving daughter-in-law. We love you, have an amazing day!!!!! Xxxxxx [sic].”

Commenters on the video were quick to take sides between Victoria and Nicola, and many pointed out if you believe Brooklyn is telling the truth on his Instagram post about how his parents allegedly control the Beckham family image, then either Victoria or Nicola has to be “acting” in the video that shows them seemingly enjoying each other’s company.

One person asked: “I wanna know who the Brooklyn supporters think is acting here… Victoria or Nicola?”

Another accused Victoria of being a “catty Spice Girl” rather than a mother to her son, writing: “Not so great after all. This girl is definitely the problem, but so are you! You just lost your son because you were being a catty Spice Girl, not a mother!”

A third sided with Nicola, stating: “Nicola is not the problem. She is a young, pretty woman. Perhaps too clever for the Beckhams.”

There were several commenters on the post who sided with Victoria, however, stating her post seemed genuine and that “Nicola is the problem” as a result.

No matter who fans think is right or wrong, though, Brooklyn has seemingly made his decision to stick by his wife and cut off his family. In a scathing Instagram post this week, he said he would never reconcile with his parents.

Part of his lengthy statement read: “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.”

Victoria and David have largely remained silent on the feud, but on Tuesday (20th January), David appeared on a panel in Switzerland to talk about sport as a business, where he said that “children are allowed to make mistakes”.

Speaking about his work as a goodwill ambassador for Unicef, he said: “I’ve been able to use my platform and following for Unicef and it’s been the biggest tool to make people aware of what’s going on around the world for children.
