Sources have claimed Nicola Peltz was reduced to tears watching Victoria Beckham ‘grind and nuzzle’ Brooklyn Beckham at their wedding reception during what was meant to be the couple’s first dance.
The reports come after Brooklyn, 26, broke his silence on the nature of his relationship with his parents this week, accusing them of being ‘controlling’ and repeatedly disrespecting Nicola, 31.
Taking to Instagram, Brooklyn wrote a long diatribe describing years of manipulative behaviour from Sir David Beckham, 50, and Victoria, 51.
He also came out in full force to defend wife, whom he married in 2022, and shared shocking details of alleged events at their wedding, writing: ‘My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song.
He continued: ‘In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead.
‘She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone, I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.’
Now, an insider has told The Sun: ‘Brooklyn was so embarrassed and his wife so humiliated and furious to have been upstaged.
‘She made her feelings very, very clear on the day. It soured the whole evening.’
The insider continued: ‘There was absolutely no malice there; quite the opposite.’
Meanwhile, a different source said Brooklyn’s parents are ‘baffled’ by Brooklyn bringing up the wedding dance, as guests were ‘having so much fun’ and ‘lapping it up.’
They said Victoria was just a ‘tad tipsy and having fun’ while ‘Nicola didn’t want him to dance with his mum at all – so kicked off about it’.
Page Six reported Nicola was so horrified by her first dance being taking away she burst into tears, especially after Victoria ‘wrapped her arms around Brooklyn and nuzzled into his neck.’
A source said: ‘She [Victoria] was dancing with him very inappropriately. She took that moment from Nicola, that is the god’s truth.
‘Nicola ran out crying. The Beckhams’ side of the room was cheering and the Peltz side was quiet.
‘Nicola’s friends were saying “You have to go back down.” Her face was swollen. She finally came down and was sad the entire evening, it was so heartbreaking.’
Another insider told The Mirror of Brooklyn’s decision to finally speak out: ‘He thought the abuse towards his wife would never stop until he said something in his own words. He was sick of the lies, and there was no changing his mind….and nor did anyone want to. He was fixated on ending the b******t which he claims his mum and dad are behind.’
These latest details come after Sir David spoke out yesterday on live TV.
Speaking live on CNBC’s financial program Squawk Box, he said: ‘I have always spoken about social media and the power of social media . . . For the good and for the bad.
‘What kids can access these days, it can be dangerous. But what I have found personally, especially with my kids as well, use it for the right reasons.
‘I’ve been able to use my platform for my following, for UNICEF. And it has been the biggest tool to make people aware of what’s going on around the world for children.
‘And I have tried to do the same with my children, to educate them.
‘They make mistakes, but children are allowed to make mistakes. That is how they learn. That is what I try to teach my kids, you sometimes have to let them make those mistakes as well.’
Brooklyn’s rift with his family was initially said to have begun when he failed to attend his dad’s 50th celebrations, but he has now said in his Instagram post he initially wished to keep matters private.
he claims his parents have left him with ‘no choice’ but to ‘tell the truth’ after allegedly trying to peddle a certain narrative in the media.
Brooklyn Beckham’s explosive statement in full
‘I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.
‘I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.
‘For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into. Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.
‘My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped. My mum cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress. Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children. They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated. My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since.
‘During the wedding planning, my mum went so far as to call me “evil” because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra, and Nicola’s Naunni at our table, because they both didn’t have their husbands. Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours.
‘The night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was “not blood” and “not family”. Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I’ve received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders.
‘Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last Summer.
‘My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song. In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead.
‘She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone, I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life. We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment.
‘My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we’ve tried to come together as one. My mum has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable.
‘Despite this, we still travelled to London for my dad’s birthday and were rejected for a week as we waited in our hotel room trying to plan quality time with him. He refused all of our attempts, unless it was at his big birthday party with a hundred guests and cameras at every corner.
‘When he finally agreed to see me, it was under the condition that Nicola wasn’t invited. It was a slap in the face. Later, when my family travelled to LA, they refused to see me at all.
‘My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first. Family “love” is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo opp, even if it’s at the expense of our professional obligations. We’ve gone out of our way to show up and support at every fashion show, every party, and every press activity to show our “perfect family”. But the one time my wife asked for my mum’s support to save displaced dogs during the LA fires, my mum refused.
‘The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards, I have been controlled by my parents for most my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. For the first time in my life since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared. I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief.
‘My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press or manipulation. All we want [is] peace, privacy, and happiness for us and our future family.’
The last time Brooklyn and Nicola were pictured with the family as a whole was Christmas 2024.
Beginning his social media statement, Brooklyn, who lives in the States now, wrote: ‘I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.
‘I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.
‘For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into. Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.’
Now, the world waits with bated breath to see how – if at all – David and Victoria will directly address their son’s accusations.
