- Why it matters: The post breaks months of silence on a family feud that began over a wedding dress
Brooklyn Beckham has broken his silence on his estrangement from parents David and Victoria Beckham with a series of explosive Instagram Stories posts shared January 19. In the messages, he accused his mother of hijacking his first dance with wife Nicola Peltz Beckham at their 2022 wedding and detailed a series of alleged slights that he claims have driven a wedge between the families.
The First Dance Incident
Brooklyn, 26, wrote that the couple had planned a romantic first dance weeks in advance. Instead, singer Marc Anthony called him to the stage where Victoria, 51, was waiting.
“My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song,” he posted. “She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I have never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.”
The couple later renewed their vows in August 2025 to replace what Brooklyn called “anxiety and embarrassment” with “joy and happiness.”
A source close to Nicola’s family backed up the claim, telling News Of Los Angeles last year that tensions peaked when Victoria allegedly took over the dance. The source said Anthony announced, “The most beautiful woman in the room tonight, come on up… Victoria Beckham!”
The bride reportedly felt Victoria had “ruined her wedding.” A second insider said the room fell silent: “You could hear a pin drop.”
Dress Drama and Name Rights
Brooklyn alleged the discord began long before the wedding day. He claimed Victoria cancelled plans to design Nicola’s gown at the last minute, forcing a rushed search for a new dress. A Peltz family insider previously gave News Of Los Angeles a similar account.
He also wrote that family members told him the night before the wedding that Nicola was “not blood” and “not family.” He accused his parents of trying to “ruin” the relationship ever since.
Weeks before the ceremony, Brooklyn said his parents “repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name.” He claimed they wanted the deal signed before the wedding, and his refusal changed how they treated him.
Ongoing Fallout
Representatives for Brooklyn, Nicola, David and Victoria did not immediately respond to News Of Los Angeles‘s requests for comment on the new posts.
Multiple sources have told News Of Los Angeles that David and Victoria have tried to reconcile. Earlier this year an insider said the couple had “repeatedly asked Brooklyn and Nicola to meet and talk in order to move forward.”
“David loves his kids,” the insider added. “They are his everything.”
Another source said in May that David and Victoria were “hurt and disappointed” by the rift but that “the relationship is definitely not beyond repair.”
