Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz have renewed their wedding vows in an intimate ceremony, three years after their 2022 marriage. The couple returned to their original wedding outfits to pledge their love once more in a private celebration that has sparked significant attention from fans.
David and Victoria Beckham were conspicuously absent from their son's vow renewal ceremony, with followers quickly spotting what they interpreted as a significant family snub. As Metro reports, Nicola's father Nelson Peltz took on the symbolic role of officiant for the ceremony, reading from cards as the couple stood opposite each other.
The choice of Nelson Peltz as officiant has been viewed by fans as particularly pointed, with one Instagram user commenting that the final ceremony picture would be "a stab in your father's heart". Metro reports that while some fans praised Brooklyn for "putting his wife first", others expressed sadness about the apparent family division.
Brooklyn's vow renewal enthusiasm
Brooklyn expressed his deep enthusiasm about the vow renewal in comments to People magazine. "To be honest, I could renew my vows every single day with her," he said, emphasising that "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 Daily Mail said his new vows were much longer than those from three years ago, with Brooklyn describing the ceremony as "really, really cute" and "really fun". The couple shared intimate photographs from their ceremony on Instagram, prompting mixed reactions from their followers.
Separate Mediterranean holidays
The vow renewal came just 48 hours after David and Victoria shared glimpses of their own Saint-Tropez getaway with children Cruz, Romeo and Harper. As Metro reports, Brooklyn had been vacationing in the same French resort with Nicola just days earlier, creating a near-miss between the estranged family members.
Social media investigation revealed that Brooklyn no longer follows his brothers Cruz and Romeo on Instagram, whilst the siblings have also unfollowed Nicola. The Daily Mail confirmed that insiders suggested the brothers may have blocked Brooklyn and Nicola, rather than the couple unfollowing them.
Victoria's selective social media behaviour
The Daily Mail reports that Victoria Beckham has been selectively engaging with Brooklyn's social media posts, liking only those that don't feature Nicola. This behaviour pattern has been interpreted by observers as another indicator of the ongoing family tensions.
The reported rift began in 2022 when Brooklyn married Nicola, with initial tensions focusing on the relationship between Nicola and Victoria. Metro reports that speculation intensified again when Brooklyn missed David's 50th birthday celebrations in May, despite previous attempts to downplay family tensions.
Family reconciliation hopes
Victoria is reportedly "desperate" for reconciliation within her once-close family, according to sources speaking to Metro. The fashion designer "hates to think about her family being so divided, especially with it involving one of her children", though the exact reasons behind the estrangement remain unclear.
The three-year timeline of family estrangement shows escalating tensions from the 2022 marriage through missed birthday celebrations to the current symbolic vow renewal. As Metro reports, the choice of Nelson Peltz as officiant while David and Victoria remained absent has been widely interpreted as the most visible sign yet of the deepening family divide.
