The Beckhams' Very Public Family Meltdown
"Most gripping, for those following along online-in the U.K., that was pretty much everyone-he described how his mother "hijacked" the couple's first dance. "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 instead," Brooklyn wrote. "She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I've never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.""
"The intrigue stemmed from Brooklyn's contention that his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, the English former football star and Spice Girl, had tried to ruin his relationship with his wife, Nicola Peltz, before their marriage, in 2022. In his post, Brooklyn accused his parents of pressuring him to sign away the rights to his family name in the weeks leading up to the wedding."
Brooklyn Beckham publicly confirmed a rift with parents David and Victoria Beckham, alleging they pressured him to sign away rights to the family name and disparaged his wife, Nicola Peltz, as "not blood" and "not family." He said Victoria canceled making Peltz's dress at the eleventh hour and described his mother hijacking the couple's first dance, causing humiliation. The experience prompted Brooklyn and Peltz to renew their vows to create happier memories. The wedding acted as a catalyst, and intense social-media attention turned private family tensions into a public spectacle.
