It’s been three years since Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz said ‘I do’ in an eye-wateringly expensive wedding with Hollywood guests that left even Posh and Becks stunned
It was the celebrity wedding of the year, packed with glamour, designer fashion, and a price tag that reportedly left even the Beckhams stunned.
But behind the scenes of Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz’s eye-wateringly expensive nuptials, rumours of a rift have continued to swirl after the couple failed to attend David Beckham’s 50th birthday party – despite the rest of the family putting on a united front.
Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, said “I do” in April 2022 in a jaw-dropping £3 million ceremony at the Peltz family’s £76 million Palm Beach estate. The A-list bash included a Valentino couture gown, a Dior tux, Hollywood stars like Eva Longoria and Serena Williams, and a performance by Snoop Dogg.

It was a party to rival any royal wedding – and far more expensive than the £750,000 Posh and Becks splashed out in 1999 on their own famous big day.
But it wasn’t long before whispers of a Beckham-Peltz family feud began making headlines. Nicola and mother-in-law Victoria Beckham were said to be at the heart of it, with sources claiming tension brewed in the lead-up to the big day.
Reports at the time claimed that Victoria was disappointed Nicola chose to wear a Valentino dress rather than a dress designed by her own label.
Nicola later denied the rumours, calling them “hurtful”, but fans noticed the frosty vibes when neither side publicly posted photos together after the ceremony.
“I was going to [wear Victoria Beckham] and I really wanted to, and then a few months down the line, she realised that her atelier couldn’t do it, so then I had to pick another dress,” she told Variety at the time.
“She didn’t say you can’t wear it, I didn’t say I didn’t want to wear it. That’s where it started, and then they ran with that.”
Brooklyn, now going by Peltz-Beckham, has insisted that “everyone gets along”, but speculation hasn’t stopped – especially after the couple skipped the 2025 Met Gala, one of fashion’s biggest nights, after backlash over not attending David Beckham’s 50th birthday party.
Insiders claimed the pair pulled out due to renewed scrutiny over the alleged family drama.
The Beckham family had celebrated the footballer’s birthday on three occasions – an intimate family event at their Cotswolds home, a trip to France and the final event – a boozy dinner party held in Notting Hill, London.
Brooklyn and Nicola had jetted into London for the final night of celebrations but ultimately failed to turn up, allegedly leaving David heartbroken. It’s claimed that Brooklyn did not want to be around his brother Romeo’s girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, who Brooklyn had a brief relationship with.
Despite the supposed rift, their wedding was nothing short of spectacular. Nicola’s gown was hand-crafted in Rome, and Brooklyn’s emotional vows left not a dry eye in the house.
David’s heartfelt speech and Victoria’s elegant silver gown were also standout moments in a wedding dripping with designer flair. There were said to be around 500 high-profile guests attending the big day.
Nicola also opted to have her grandmother as her maid of honour, while the groomsmen were kitted out in Dior suits. Nicola’s stylist, Leslie Fremar, said that the bride’s wedding gown, with its spectacularly ornate French lace veil, was the most beautiful dress she had ever seen.
Brooklyn was seen tearing up as his wife-to-be walked down the aisle, while Nicola said it was her mother who “really put this whole thing together” during a speech.
The couple, who started dating in 2019 and got engaged the following summer, are said to be positioning themselves as a next-gen power duo.
