Brooklyn Beckham and his wife, Nicola Peltz, decided to commemorate their third wedding anniversary with a private vow renewal ceremony – yet the occasion unfolded against a backdrop of deep familial discord.
Despite renewing their commitment near New York City, the couple’s gesture underscored an emotional schism: neither David nor Victoria Beckham and Brooklyn’s brothers – Romeo and Cruz – were present or acknowledged the event publicly.
According to sources, the ceremony was intimate and meaningful, meant to “create a memory that will stay with them forever,” and featured close friends and select family members.
However, none of the Beckhams attended, amplifying questions about the widening rift between Brooklyn’s in-laws and his birth family.
A marriage reinforced
Insiders suggest the fissure began around the original wedding reception in April 2022, when Victoria purportedly overshadowed Nicola during the first dance by interrupting and declaring fresh praise for her son – a moment reportedly upsetting Nicola deeply.
Over time, the tension escalated, culminating in Brooklyn and Nicola unfollowing Romeo and Cruz on social media, which the brothers reciprocated.]
Brooklyn and Nicola have since missed significant family milestones: they did not attend David Beckham’s 50th birthday, refused Father’s Day tributes, and quietly declined involvement in major events Victoria hosted.
The couple maintains they attempted to de-escalate the feud, asking relatives to refrain from sharing private criticism. Nevertheless, conflicted loyalties and public leaks have only worsened the situation.
Despite the feud, Brooklyn has publicly reaffirmed his allegiance to Nicola. On their anniversary, he shared heartfelt messages and gestures – like a large bouquet and loving caption – citing unwavering devotion amid the controversy.
Throughout the turmoil, several attempts at reconciliation have been initiated. Notably, Elton John – who is Brooklyn’s godfather and close to both Beckham and Peltz families – hosted a lunch in Cannes, urging peace and urging all parties to bridge gaps.
Yet, contact remains limited, and Victoria’s upcoming Netflix documentary reportedly omits Brooklyn and Nicola entirely, choosing instead to focus on her own growth and legacy.

A stressful time for the couple
The renewed vows highlight Brooklyn and Nicola’s defiance of external stress, but also underline the personal costs: strained relationships with brothers, parents excluded from milestone events, and a once-united family now divided.
Their vow ceremony – absent any Beckham attendance – served as both a celebration and a statement: their marriage is now their primary allegiance.
As the couple continues to publicly emphasize their partnership, it’s clear they view this gesture not just as romantic reaffirmation, but as a public declaration of loyalty amid familial fractures.
Whether the Beckham family eventually reconciles – or continues drifting apart – these vows may mark a turning point in how Brooklyn and Nicola define their identity as a couple.
Whether the private ceremony brings peace or solidifies the divide, one truth stands: Brooklyn and Nicola have chosen each other first. As reconciliation efforts continue in the background, this event may stand as a defining moment in a saga where love, loyalty, and family boundaries clash.
