Brooklyn Beckham’s explosive claims about his wedding to Nicola Peltz have sent shockwaves through social media, clashing with Vogue’s official coverage of the nuptials.
While Brooklyn alleges that his mother, Victoria Beckham, “hijacked” his first dance with his wife, Vogue paints a different picture of the same moment.
The April 2022 wedding, celebrated in lavish style, was covered extensively by US Vogue.
According to the publication, the newlyweds shared their first dance to South African singer Lloyiso’s rendition of Elvis Presley’s Can’t Help Falling in Love.
The evening later featured Marc Anthony, a close friend of David and Victoria, performing his song I Need To Know.
It was during this performance, Vogue says, that Brooklyn invited his mother to join him on stage, alongside his father David and their 10-year-old daughter Harper.
Brooklyn’s Version: A Wedding Memory Hijacked
Brooklyn’s recollection starkly contrasts Vogue’s narrative.
In a dramatic statement shared on Instagram, he said, “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.”
He described feeling “humiliated” as Victoria supposedly “danced very inappropriately” in front of the wedding guests.
He also revealed that he and Nicola decided to renew their vows the following year without family presence, aiming to “create new memories… that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment.”
Brooklyn’s grievances extend beyond the dance, pointing to an ongoing family divide that has seen the couple skip major family celebrations, including David Beckham’s 50th birthday and knighthood.
Allegations of Family Control and Wedding Dress Drama
Brooklyn’s social media post further alleged that Victoria canceled making Nicola’s wedding dress at the “eleventh hour,” forcing the bride to find a new gown.
He painted a picture of a family prioritizing public image over personal relationships, claiming he had been “controlled by a family that values public promotion above all else.”
However, reports from the time tell a different story.
Nicola’s stylist, Leslie Fremar, told Vogue that the dress had been a year in the making, with multiple fittings in the US and trips to Valentino’s headquarters in Rome.
Nicola herself confirmed in interviews that she had initially hoped to wear Victoria’s design but ultimately opted for a couture Valentino gown due to timing issues—not conflict.
Top Table Traditions and Family Dynamics
Brooklyn also addressed seating arrangements at the wedding, noting that his and Nicola’s grandmothers sat at the top table because their spouses weren’t present—a break from traditional etiquette, which usually places the couple at the center with parents flanking them.
Meanwhile, David Beckham faced awkward questions about Brooklyn’s public statements during the World Economic Forum in Davos.
He dodged inquiries about the family feud while participating in a podcast discussing “resilience, failure, regret, and disappointment.”
Social Media Echoes and Public Reactions
Reactions to Brooklyn’s statement have been swift.
Rebecca Loos, David’s former PA, praised Brooklyn for speaking out, saying she felt bad for Nicola and echoed the sentiment that “the truth always comes out.”
On a lighter note, Victoria’s internet fame soared again after memes circulated referencing Brooklyn’s claim that she danced “inappropriately,” with throwback tweets highlighting her lifelong love of the dance floor.
Closing Thoughts: A Family Divided
The Beckham saga highlights the tension between personal memory and public narrative.
While Brooklyn paints a picture of family control, humiliation, and anxiety, accounts from Vogue and Nicola’s stylist suggest a more nuanced story of timing, tradition, and wedding logistics.
Regardless, the drama continues to dominate headlines, leaving fans debating who is telling the truth about one of the most high-profile weddings of the decade.
