- Why it matters: The public rift could reshape the Beckham brand’s image
Brooklyn Beckham has accused his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, of sabotaging his 2022 wedding to Nicola Peltz Beckham by backing out of making the bride’s dress days before the ceremony. The claim, posted to Instagram Stories on January 19, marks the first time he has publicly detailed the rift.
The Dress Dispute
“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,” Brooklyn wrote. The couple wed at Nicola’s family estate in Palm Beach in April 2022; she ultimately wore Valentino Haute Couture.
Nicola told Vogue at the time that choosing Valentino was “a no-brainer.” She later told Variety that Victoria’s atelier “couldn’t do it,” adding, “She didn’t say you can’t wear it; I didn’t say I didn’t want to wear it.”
New Insider Account
A family source told News Of Los Angeles in May 2025 that Victoria initially promised to design the gown but later called Nicola’s mother to say she would not. “Nicola was painted as a brat for not wearing Victoria Beckham at the wedding,” the insider said, noting Nicola had worn the designer’s pieces to multiple events, including the premiere of her film Lola.
Broader Allegations
Brooklyn also alleged his parents offered him money to “sign away the rights” to his name ahead of the wedding. He wrote that they have tried “endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped.”
Parents’ Response
A representative for David and Victoria did not respond to News Of Los Angeles‘s request for comment. A source close to the couple said earlier in May 2025 that David and Victoria “love and are always there for Brooklyn” but are “hurt and disappointed that he’s now playing no part in family life.”
Reconciliation Hopes
Despite the couple’s absence from David’s 50th birthday, a source said, “The relationship is definitely not beyond repair.” David and Victoria have “repeatedly asked Brooklyn and Nicola to meet and talk in order to move forward,” according to another insider.
