Brooklyn Peltz Beckham has asserted that asking Nicola Peltz Beckham to marry him is the “best decision” he has ever made in a defiant Instagram post amid his rumored feud with his family.

If you need reminding, Brooklyn first started dating billionaire heiress Nicola in 2019, and they got engaged the following year before tying the knot in 2022. While Nicola initially appeared to fit right in with Brooklyn’s family, her relationship with his mom, Victoria Beckham, seemingly soured soon after her and Brooklyn’s wedding.

Throughout 2023, it was widely speculated that Nicola and Victoria were at odds, however, they appeared to put whatever beef they had behind them at the start of 2024, when they returned to being incredibly vocal about how much they adore one another in social media posts.

But this didn’t last very long, with the feud rumors resurfacing earlier this year when it was noted that Brooklyn and Nicola had skipped all three of his dad, David Beckham’s, 50th birthday celebrations, which spanned from March until May. 

A source later told People: "There are tensions between Brooklyn and Nicola and the family,” before insisting that “the relationship is definitely not beyond repair.” 

The insider also said that the couple had been invited to David’s celebrations but chose not to attend, adding that the Beckhams “love and are always there for” Brooklyn, but are “hurt and disappointed that he’s now playing no part in family life.”

Then, last month, it was reported that the tension between Brooklyn and his family all stems from Victoria apparently hijacking his and Nicola’s first dance at their wedding, after family friend Marc Anthony referred to her as “the most beautiful woman in the room tonight.”

According to a source who spoke to People, Nicola left the room in tears and feels as though Victoria “ruined her wedding.” Another insider added to the same publication: “Brooklyn feels torn. It’s his family and blood, but he’s always had a complicated relationship with his dad. A lot of their relationship has felt like ‘business.’”

It’s worth noting that the wedding was three years ago, and it isn’t known why any ill feeling between Nicola and Brooklyn and his family would have resurfaced now. 

While nobody involved has directly commented on any of the reports, Brooklyn’s younger brother, Cruz Beckham, did appear to suggest that the headlines about Victoria hijacking Nicola’s big day weren’t true.

And his cryptic Instagram post came soon after Cruz seemingly sprang to his parents’ defense after Brooklyn called Nicola his “whole world” in a divisive Instagram post that appeared to allude to the family beef. 

“My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you’re the most amazing person i know xx me and you forever baby,” Brooklyn wrote at the time, sparking backlash from followers who accused him of shading his parents. 

But Brooklyn is standing firm, with the 26-year-old shocking people when he completely snubbed David on Father’s Day earlier this month, despite David gushing about all of his children, including Brooklyn, in multiple posts that were shared throughout the day.

Brooklyn also publicly ignored his dad being awarded a knighthood by King Charles III the day before Father’s Day, despite the rest of the family sharing their pride. 

And while Brooklyn pointedly hasn’t acknowledged any of his family members in any capacity of late, he has repeatedly gushed about Nicola. In a recent interview with Glamour Germany, the Brit appeared to double down on his staunch loyalty to his wife as he told the publication that she is his “home.”

After being asked: “What’s something about love you didn’t know before this relationship?” Brooklyn replied: “You should marry your best friend. Someone who feels like home. For me, that’s Nicola.”

He also suggested that he is not interested in the constant scrutiny that their relationship with his family faces when asked how he protects their romance in the public spotlight. He said: “Ignore the noise. Keep your head down, work hard, be kind. People are always going to talk. What matters is that we’re happy together.”

And Brooklyn has once again reiterated his devotion to Nicola in another soppy Instagram post, this time marking the anniversary of when he asked her to marry him.

Sharing a photo of himself kissing Nicola on the cheek as she takes a mirror selfie, Brooklyn wrote: “It’s been 5 years since I asked this beautiful woman to marry me xx best decision ever x I love you so much ❤️”

However, some found this post to be in bad taste as they called Brooklyn out for appearing to choose Nicola over his parents and brothers in the comment section. 

“Not cool how you’re treating your parents and brothers,” one person wrote. Another popular comment advises: “One day, you will realize that your Mum and Dad won't be around forever, and believe me, unless they have done something totally unforgivable, you need to make your peace or you'll regret it until your dying day. I dont know you Brooklyn, but maybe take a little time to assess your values and more importantly, your direction in life.”

“It’s a shame you allowed it to come between you’re parents and siblings. Really sad,” somebody else added, while one more wrote: “You will regret missing out on such wonderful family moments. Falling in love is wonderful! Remember the start of your journey into life.”

Nicola liked Brooklyn’s post but did not comment on it, she also didn’t acknowledge the anniversary on her own social media page. Meanwhile, none of Brooklyn’s relatives — including his grandparents, aunties, and cousin — have acknowledged the post in any capacity.
