Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham surprised fans by sharing intimate photos from their secret vow renewal ceremony held on August 2 in Westchester County.
The couple, who originally tied the knot in 2022, chose to reaffirm their love in a much smaller, more personal setting surrounded by family—and some very special guests.
A Vintage Wedding Dress and a Meaningful Ceremony
For this heartfelt occasion, Nicola made a poignant choice by wearing her mother Claudia’s vintage 1985 bridal gown.
It was a beautiful nod to family tradition, especially given the ongoing tensions with Brooklyn’s famous parents, David and Victoria Beckham, who were notably absent from the event.
Adding to the family feel, Nicola’s father Nelson, 83, took on the special role of officiating the ceremony.
The day was filled with candid, joyful moments—Nicola even posed topless alongside her glamorous mother while getting ready in matching white robes.
Family Feud Overshadows Big Celebrations
The Beckhams’ absence continued a well-publicized rift that has been brewing since before the couple’s lavish £3 million wedding in 2022.
Back then, Nicola famously declined a dress designed by Victoria Beckham, opting instead for a Valentino gown—a choice that didn’t sit well with her in-laws.
Since that time, relations between the two families have remained strained, with Brooklyn and Nicola rarely seen with the Beckhams and missing major family events like David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebration in May.
Intimate Moments Shared on Social Media
Despite the family drama, Brooklyn and Nicola shared their vow renewal moments with fans on Instagram, posting photos with the caption “only love.”
Nicola dazzled in her mother’s vintage gown and showed off her original $1.8 million engagement ring set, complete with a glimmering filter.
They also posted a relaxed video of their casual proposal on TikTok, set to the song “Lost in Your Eyes” by Ysabelle Cuevas, showcasing their affectionate bond.
Brooklyn Opens Up About the Vow Renewal Experience
Speaking candidly for the first time about the ceremony, Brooklyn described the day as “a really beautiful experience” and admitted he’d happily renew his vows every single day if he could.
He told People magazine that the event was all about creating “a really cute memory” to treasure forever, and joked that exchanging longer vows this time might pose a challenge for the tattoo of his original promises already inked on his arm.
From Lavish Parties to Cozy Nights In
The vow renewal was a world away from their first extravagant wedding bash.
Brooklyn revealed that he and Nicola prefer quiet evenings at home, sipping wine and cooking together, often accompanied by their four beloved dogs.
Brooklyn’s Surprising Hot Sauce Business Journey
Away from the spotlight, Brooklyn has been exploring his passion for food.
He credits Nicola for encouraging him to dive into his hot sauce venture, Cloud23, which started after a drunken kitchen experiment.
Today, his brand offers two popular flavors—Hot Habanero and Sweet Jalapeño—and recently featured in a special Airbnb Originals Experience event in Los Angeles, where guests enjoyed cocktails infused with his sauce and cooking classes led by celebrity chef Aaron May.
Cooking Secrets and Entertaining Tips from Brooklyn
Brooklyn shared that cooking is his favorite hobby, whether for Nicola, friends, or their pets.
His signature dish is spaghetti bolognese—but with a twist.
He adds a whole bottle of cheap red wine, ten bay leaves, and even the wine cork to the pot, marinating it for five hours.
When entertaining, he insists on the perfect atmosphere with candles, good music, and low lighting.
The Beckham Family Rift Deepens Amid Lavish Lifestyles
While David and Victoria Beckham enjoy their annual summer getaway on a £16 million yacht in Europe, Brooklyn and Nicola have kept a lower profile, spending time on their own £85 million yacht nearby.
The family drama has intensified recently, with reports that Brooklyn has grown increasingly distant from his parents.
Brooklyn and Nicola no longer follow his younger brothers on Instagram, though it’s believed Cruz and Romeo blocked them first.
Brooklyn’s silence on his parents’ birthdays—especially David’s milestone 50th—is a marked departure from the usually loving public family posts.
A Loving Tribute to His Father-in-Law Amid the Family Drama
In contrast, Brooklyn recently posted a heartfelt birthday message for his father-in-law Nelson Peltz, writing, “Happy birthday Nelson x We love you,” alongside a sweet photo of the couple with the billionaire.
