Brooklyn Beckham and wife Nicola Peltz have revealed intimate photographs from their secret wedding vow renewal ceremony on 2 August, with the couple’s billionaire father-in-law Nelson Peltz officiating whilst David and Victoria Beckham holidayed on their luxury superyacht in the French Riviera.
The 26-year-old son of the former England captain and Spice Girl posted a series of romantic snaps on social media captioned “Only love” with a white heart emoji, calling his actress wife “Forever my girl” three years after their £3 million Palm Beach wedding. The low-key ceremony at the Peltz family’s Westchester County estate in New York saw Nicola swap her original Valentino gown for a vintage-style dress with puffed sleeves and floral details.
Sources close to the couple confirmed between 100 and 200 guests attended the celebration, but notably absent were any members of the Beckham family. David, 50, and Victoria, 51, were instead cruising French waters aboard their £16 million Riva 160 Bellissima yacht with sons Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and daughter Harper, 14, as family tensions continue to escalate.
Peltz Patriarch Steps In as Beckham Parents Stay Away
Nelson Peltz, the American billionaire businessman worth an estimated £1.5 billion, took centre stage by officiating his daughter’s second ceremony to Brooklyn. A source told People magazine the event was about “honouring the love and commitment they’ve built together over the years,” though insiders revealed no Beckhams received invitations.
“It was all about the feeling of love and people who were sharing in it, and everyone was from America,” a source close to the couple told the Daily Mail. The insider stressed there was “no ulterior motive” behind the Beckham family’s absence, adding: “Obviously, there were things about the first wedding that were not positive, but this was about positivity.”
Brooklyn later described the ceremony as “really beautiful” in an exclusive interview with People, revealing: “To be honest, I could renew my vows every single day with her. I think the most important thing that someone can do is find that person that they’re going to spend the rest of their life with.”
The Cloud23 hot sauce founder, who famously has his 2022 wedding vows tattooed on his body, admitted he would need to “find space” to add his renewed promises to Nicola.
Victoria Posts Loved-Up Yacht Photos as Son Reaffirms Vows
As Brooklyn and Nicola exchanged vows for a second time in New York, Victoria shared a series of photographs aboard their superyacht, including romantic snaps cuddling her “hunky hubby” David. The fashion designer captioned the post “Kisses @DavidBeckham” with sun and love heart emojis, tagging her husband but making no mention of her eldest son’s ceremony.
The timing appeared particularly pointed as Victoria posted thirst trap photos of shirtless David playing football with Cruz and embracing Harper, whilst Brooklyn was notably absent from all family holiday snaps. The former Spice Girl did add “Miss you @brooklynpeltzbeckham @nicolaannepeltzbeckham xx” to one post, though sources suggest this was merely for public appearances.
The Beckhams’ £16 million yacht, named Seven after David’s shirt number and Harper’s middle name, boasts five cabins, a spa bath, jacuzzi and 65-foot garage for water toys. The vessel represents a significant upgrade from their original £5 million yacht purchased in 2022.
Brothers Unfollow as Feud Deepens
The family rift has dramatically widened with Romeo and Cruz Beckham reportedly unfollowing Brooklyn and Nicola on social media, with friends claiming the younger brothers actually blocked the couple. The social media snub came after Brooklyn posted a birthday tribute to Harper featuring a family photograph that conspicuously excluded his brothers.
“David and Victoria had no idea whether Brooklyn, who Harper has idolised since she was a little girl, would message her privately or publicly on Instagram because they have no communication with him,” an insider revealed.
Brooklyn’s only public contact with his family came on 10 July when he wished Harper happy 14th birthday, writing: “Happy birthday harper we love u x.” Sources close to the Beckhams dismissed this as a “publicity stunt” given the lack of other communication.
The eldest Beckham son missed his father’s landmark 50th birthday celebrations in May and reportedly only learned about David’s knighthood through press reports. Brooklyn and Nicola were even filming an advert just over a mile from the Beckhams’ London home but made no effort to visit Harper.
Wedding Drama Sparked Three-Year Feud
Multiple sources trace the family tensions back to Brooklyn and Nicola’s original April 2022 wedding at the Peltz estate in Palm Beach, Florida. The £3 million celebration reportedly went awry when singer Marc Anthony introduced Victoria as “the most beautiful woman in the room” before her mother-son dance with Brooklyn.
“Nicola and her family were left in tears,” an insider revealed. “They thought the remark was astonishingly rude, odd, and in bad taste.” The situation worsened when Nicola publicly revealed Victoria’s fashion house couldn’t design her wedding dress, forcing her to wear Valentino instead.
“There were other tensions too, over everything from security to the seating plan,” another source disclosed, noting the Beckhams weren’t given a top table at the reception. TMZ reported Victoria “felt Nicola stole her son from her” and allegedly interrupted the couple’s first dance by “running up to the dance floor and basically pushing Nicola away.”
Elton John Attempts Peace Mission
Sir Elton John, Brooklyn’s godfather and longtime Beckham family friend, recently attempted to mediate the family feud during a meeting at La Guerite beach club in the South of France. The music legend, who will turn 80 in two years, spent time with Brooklyn and Nicola whilst maintaining neutrality.
“Elton is the showbiz equivalent of Switzerland. He’s utterly neutral in this row,” an insider told The Sun. “Elton of old may have relished in taking sides, in this case, his young godson Brooklyn, but two years off his 80th birthday, he’s a man who has seen and done it all.”
Despite the reconciliation attempt, the gesture appears to have failed with Brooklyn allegedly telling his parents he wants “no contact,” though his representatives deny these claims, insisting media reports misrepresent the situation.
Married Life as ‘Never-Ending Play Date’
Brooklyn revealed intimate details about his marriage to Nicola, describing their relationship as “a never-ending play date.” The couple, who began dating in late 2019 and got engaged after seven months, prefer quiet nights at home with their four dogs over socialising.
“We don’t like to go out for dinner, really. We don’t like to party or anything like that,” Brooklyn explained. “When we are together, which is a lot of the time, we just hang out with our four dogs, and drink wine at home.”
Relationship expert Sunaree Ko suggested the early vow renewal could symbolise deeper emotional currents: “A vow renewal this early in a marriage can often be a way of reinforcing commitment during times of uncertainty. It’s not uncommon when external pressures like public scrutiny or family tensions are in play.”
As the Beckham family sailed through Saint-Tropez posting glamorous holiday photos, Brooklyn and Nicola’s intimate ceremony without a single Beckham present speaks volumes about the state of what was once Britain’s most united celebrity family. With brothers blocking social media accounts and parents learning of major life events through newspapers, the gulf between Brooklyn and his birth family appears wider than ever.
