In early August, Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz renewed their vows and confirmed the news to People Magazine exclusively. At the time, there wasn’t a big clapback from Brooklyn’s parents, David and Victoria Beckham. The British tabloids didn’t turn it into a huge thing, there wasn’t some big Beckham briefing about it. Then, last week, Brooklyn and Nicola posted photos from their vow renewal, and that seemed to shift everything. I guess it’s because it was clear that the ceremony was basically a second wedding, this time without the involvement of Brooklyn’s family. Suddenly, it was a Code Red emergency in the tabloids. The Beckhams have been pushing stories about how Brooklyn is Nicola’s brainwashed hostage, how Brooklyn is evil for going no-contact with his parents, and on and on. Well… Brooklyn was like, wait until you hear this part! Apparently, in his new vows, he thanked the Peltz family for being so welcoming.

David and Victoria Beckham look set to face fresh heartache as new details have emerged of son Brooklyn’s vow renewal speech to wife Nicola Peltz. Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, said ‘I do’ for a second time on August 2 in Westchester County in front of her family, with the Beckham clan notably absent amid their ongoing feud.

His parents David, 50, and Victoria, 51, and his brothers Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and sister Harper, 14, were nowhere in sight at the second wedding, while in contrast, Nicola’s family had key roles at the lavish event. And in an additional blow for the Beckham family, Brooklyn reportedly opened up on his love for the Peltz family, as well as speaking ‘movingly’ of his wife, as he gave his speech in front of the 200 guests.

A source told The Mirror: ‘He spoke from the heart – and at the centre of his heart is Nicola who he loves very dearly, but also the Peltz family who have really stuck by his side. He wanted to recognise them all, and was determined to do them all justice.’

News of the ‘heartfelt tribute’ to billionaire Nelson Peltz, 83, and wife Claudia, 70, will no doubt add to the pain of the Beckham family amid their estrangement from Brooklyn, with it said that no such tribute was given for his own parents.

Billionaire heiress Nicola has previously been accused of ‘isolating’ Brooklyn from not only his family, but his friends too. New sources allege Brooklyn is not being held from making his own decisions and is ‘devastated’ over the way his wife is being portrayed.

A source told The Mirror: ‘It’s so rooted in misogyny that all of the heat for his parents not being invited is on Nicola. Everyone seems to forget that Brooklyn is an adult man and fully capable of speaking out. Nicola would have respected all that he chose. It breaks Brooklyn’s heart to see his wife being painted as this vixen and viper.’

Insiders previously told Daily Mail that Brooklyn’s parents are concerned his wife Nicola holds disproportionate sway in her marriage to their son. They said: ‘They think Nicola is a bit of a horror but she isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Nicola loves having Brooklyn at her side and she loves him very much. But he is also very useful. The wider Beckham family and Brooklyn’s friends – many of whom he no longer sees – take the view that he does what Nicola wants. From Beckhams’ point of view, it’s not nice to watch.’

There’s a huge disparity between “Brooklyn is Nicola’s hostage” and “Brooklyn mostly goes along with whatever Nicola wants.” I think the latter is the case here. I’ve read Brooklyn’s interviews over the years, and one of the nicest things about him is that he seems like a genuinely easy-going guy who just wants to be home with his wife and the dogs. Nicola is more ambitious and driven, which is apparently scandalous to the British tabloids in 2025. I also think that Brooklyn has felt more embraced and welcomed from the Peltz fam versus how his family has treated Nicola.
