It’s been a tough year for Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz, not just because of the ongoing family tensions, but also as they mark the anniversary of a deeply personal loss.
Brooklyn recently opened up on Instagram about his feelings on the one-year anniversary of Nicola’s grandmother Bunny’s passing, sharing a touching tribute that reveals a softer side amid all the public family drama.
Brooklyn’s Loving Tribute to His Grandmother-in-Law
Brooklyn, 26, who is the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham, posted heartfelt words alongside a collection of sweet photos with Bunny.
Nicola’s grandmother Bunny, who was not only a cherished family figure but also Nicola’s maid of honor at their 2022 wedding, passed away last May at the age of 95.
Brooklyn expressed how much he misses her, especially the thought of their future children never having the chance to meet her.
His post read, “Can’t believe it’s been a year without you naunni x you were always so happy and always made me laugh.
I miss you and will love you forever x. It makes me so sad to think of our future kids not being able to know you x you were one of a kind and we miss you every day.”
Nicola’s Emotional Reflection on Losing Her ‘Naunni’
Nicola also took to Instagram to share her own heartfelt message about Bunny on the anniversary of her passing.
She posted photos of herself and Brooklyn smiling alongside Bunny and wrote about how life feels much less bright without her.
“I can’t believe it’s been a whole year without my naunni on earth.
I miss her laugh so much,” Nicola shared. “I miss her happiness, her love, her everything.
Her magic runs through my mom, and I’m so lucky to know the feeling of that love.
I am so lucky she was my naunni – I miss her every single second. Life is not as bright without her here.”
The Beckham Family Feud Casts a Shadow
While Brooklyn and Nicola publicly honor Bunny’s memory, the couple’s personal lives remain complicated.
Brooklyn has become estranged from his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, amid an ongoing family feud.
Notably, Brooklyn and Nicola didn’t attend David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations last month — an event that saw Brooklyn’s siblings Romeo, Cruz, and Harper all present.
David Beckham’s Attempts to Mend Bridges
Reports suggest David Beckham is desperate to repair the rift with Brooklyn, worried that history might repeat itself after his own troubled relationship with his father back in 2005.
Victoria Beckham has reportedly been losing sleep over the ongoing family tensions, showing just how seriously the couple is taking the situation.
New Friendships Stir the Pot
Adding another twist, Brooklyn’s growing friendship with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle — once close friends of David and Victoria before a public falling out — has reportedly blindsided his parents.
Sources say the Sussexes have been quietly supporting Brooklyn and Nicola through their similar family struggles.
The couples recently shared a dinner at the Sussexes’ mansion in Montecito, California, where Meghan and Nicola had a deep and meaningful conversation, bonding over being unfairly labeled as “homewreckers” by the media.
Beckham Parents Feel Betrayed by the Sussex Connection
This newfound alliance has reportedly hurt David and Victoria, especially amid accusations that led to the Beckham family falling out with the Sussexes — allegations they strongly denied.
Friends close to David and Victoria told The Sun that they were caught off guard by Brooklyn’s friendship with Harry and Meghan.
Despite the tension, David reportedly still maintains a polite relationship with Harry and communicates with him occasionally, even though Victoria’s connection with the Sussexes has soured.
The Public Stance
At the time these stories broke, representatives for Brooklyn, Nicola, and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were contacted by MailOnline but did not provide comments.
