The infamous Beckham family feud is back in the headlines, and this time, the drama has only intensified following the vow renewal of Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz-Beckham. Just three years into their marriage, on August 2, 2025, the couple celebrated with a lavish yet intimate ceremony at the Peltz family’s sprawling Westchester estate. Nicola turned heads in her mother’s vintage bridal gown as her billionaire father officiated the event. The photographs, now circulating online, look like they were lifted straight from a glossy magazine or a Pinterest-worthy vintage wedding board.
But amid the champagne toasts and picture-perfect moments, one glaring detail stood out: not a single member of the Beckham family was there. Fans quickly noticed that, alongside the expected absence of Brooklyn’s parents, David and Victoria, given recent tensions, there was also no sign of Romeo, Cruz, or even little Harper in any photos or videos from the night. Their absence wasn’t just noticeable, but it was impossible to ignore.
Now, insiders are spilling the tea on why Brooklyn and Nicola seem to have shut the door on the Beckham family for their special day. From constant social media trolling and vow-renewal drama, here’s everything we know about the Beckham family feud that’s been brewing behind the scenes and why it seems to be only getting messier.
Why the Beckham family was left off the guest list
According to insider reports by The Mirror, besides his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, tensions between Brooklyn and his brothers have been simmering for months. His younger siblings, Cruz and Romeo Beckham, have allegedly been seen trolling Brooklyn in public comments on social media, with sharp digs like “You’re a fraud” and “Ur dead to me.”

As per a report by TMZ, Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Perez, had reached out to the Beckhams in private in an attempt to shut down the online bashing, but they felt nothing they did could stop the negativity. A part of the report stated:
“We’re told Brooklyn and Nicola want to squash the longstanding family feud … But…they feel no matter what they do, they get attacked in the press and online. Brooklyn and Nicola feel the family infighting is counterproductive, and the preferred path forward is focusing on both families’ accomplishments and positive news.”
The Wedding-day incident that started the Beckham family drama
For years, there had been whispers of tension simmering inside the Beckham household, though the family still appeared together in public. But according to multiple reports, everything changed in 2022 when Brooklyn and Nicola tied the knot. What exactly happened at that wedding that could push the eldest Beckham sibling to consider cutting ties with his famous family?
If insider reports from various sources are to be believed, the alleged turning point in the Beckham family drama came during Brooklyn and his bride Nicola’s first dance. As singer Marc Anthony began performing for the couple, instead of inviting Nicola to join Brooklyn, he called out Victoria Beckham. Adding to the drama, Victoria reportedly took the dance floor with her son, making things even more awkward with the guests present.
Since it was supposed to be their first dance as a married couple, Nicola was humiliated and felt her mother-in-law had ruined the most special moment of the wedding. As the Spice Girl star joined Brooklyn on the dance floor, the bride was left in tears. A source close to the family bluntly shared:
“It wasn’t appropriate. Nicola ran 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.”
Brooklyn and Nicola’s rumoured tensions with the Beckhams
After that day, Brooklyn has allegedly tried to create ‘space’ between himself and his famous parents to maintain family boundaries. On the other hand, David and Victoria allegedly blame Nicola for the rift, calling her ‘controlling’. However, others who know Nicola have strongly defended her against these claims and called her protective and loving.
Several other rumours have since surfaced online, including one about the stark differences in how the Beckhams and the Peltz family approach raising children. The Beckhams, reportedly worth around GBP 500 million, which roughly translates to around USD 672.6 million, are said to maintain a ‘working-class’ style of parenting despite their wealth. In contrast, the Peltz family, worth more than twice as much, allegedly expected the Beckhams to match their lavish spending when it came to luxuries for Brooklyn and Nicola.
While the rift was mostly behind closed doors, it has now spilt into public events as well. Before the vow renewal ceremony, Brooklyn and Nicola had skipped Victoria’s 50th birthday in April 2024 and David’s 50th in May 2025. Some reports claim that Brooklyn has severed all online contact with the Beckhams, even blocking his brothers on Instagram.
As for now, Brooklyn and Nicola seem to have finally gotten the wedding of their dreams with their renewed vows. Do you think the family rift will be mended anytime soon? Let us know!
