Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, the 26-year-old CEO of Cloud 23 hot sauce, is in the middle of a family conflict that has spilled onto social media. After his mother, Victoria Beckham, posted a recap of a Paris trip, Brooklyn shared a TikTok montage celebrating his marriage to Nicola Peltz Beckham. The clip came a week after he publicly accused his parents of trying to create a rift between him and his wife.
Family Tensions Surface
On Jan. 19, Brooklyn posted a series of Instagram Stories in which he alleged that his family has been attempting to drive a wedge between him and Nicola for years. He said the Beckhams’ image as a “perfect family” was a façade and that his wife has been “consistently disrespected” by relatives who claimed she was “not blood.” He also claimed that Victoria “hijacked my first dance with my wife,” a romantic moment planned weeks in advance to a Marc Anthony love song.
A source familiar with the situation told News Of Los Angeles that Brooklyn and Nicola are the only ones who have access to the video of the alleged dance. The source added that the couple would be mortified if the footage ever became public.
Brooklyn’s statements have sparked mixed reactions from family members. “Victoria and Nicola got along in the first few months, but then Victoria started acting like a jealous girlfriend,” a Peltz family source told News Of Los Angeles for this week’s cover story. “She seemed so jealous of Nicola.” A Beckham insider countered, “Nicola is the one who is jealous of Victoria. She wants to be famous.”
Victoria Beckham Receives French Honor
On Jan. 26, Victoria, 51, posted an Instagram carousel announcing that she was named a Chevalière de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture. The 17-photo post featured cameos from former Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour and French Minister of Culture Rachida Dati, among others. Family photos showed Victoria with husband David Beckham, daughter Harper, 14, and sons Cruz, 20, and Romeo, 23, along with their girlfriends Jackie Apostel and Kim Turnbull.
The timing of the honor coincided with Brooklyn’s public accusations, adding a layer of public scrutiny to the family drama.
Brooklyn’s Social Media Montage
On Monday, Jan. 26, Brooklyn uploaded a TikTok video titled “I love you,” tagging Nicola. The montage shows the couple, married in April 2022, enjoying moments together with their dog. Scenes include:
- A bathroom where Nicola smiles while holding their pup and Brooklyn kisses her.
- A beach where they watch waves before sharing red wine at dinner.
- A scenic rustic property where Brooklyn admires Nicola walking beneath a floral canopy.
- A final hug that caps the video.
The clip was posted the same day Victoria celebrated her French honor, creating a stark contrast between the family’s public celebration and Brooklyn’s private display of affection.
Reactions and Sources
Reps for David and Victoria have not returned News Of Los Angeles‘s request for comment. A separate source told News Of Los Angeles that David and Victoria have repeatedly asked Brooklyn and Nicola to meet and talk in order to move forward. The insider added, “David loves his kids. They are his everything.”
Brooklyn’s social media statement also claimed that he and Nicola traveled to London for David’s 50th birthday last year but were “rejected” by Victoria and David. Despite this, a family source told News Of Los Angeles that “David and Victoria believe that over time Brooklyn will come back,” adding, “But they can’t do anything until then.”
Brooklyn previously said on Jan. 19 that Victoria “danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone,” adding, “I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.”
The ongoing feud has drawn attention from both fans and family members, each offering their own perspective on the situation. While some call for reconciliation, others emphasize the need for privacy and respect within the family unit.
