Beckham Family Feud Explained: Why David And Victoria Had A Falling Out With Their Eldest Son Brooklyn Beckham, Nicola Peltz

Ever since they got together in 1997, David Beckham and Victoria Beckham have been hailed as the earliest examples of a power couple. The football star and the former POSH girl expanded their family in 1999, when they welcomed their first son, Brooklyn. Over the years, they welcomed two more sons, Romeo, Cruz and in 2011 became parents to their only daughter, Harper Beckham. Hailed as a one big, picture-perfect and happy family, the Beckhams began courting controversy surrounding their family relations in 2022 when Brooklyn tied the knot with billionaire heiress Nicola Peltz.

Cracks appear in the Beckham family after Nicola and Brooklyn's wedding 

Ever since his wedding to Nicola, Brooklyn has increasingly distanced himself from his parents.  Insiders claim that the strain began around the time of Brooklyn and Nicola’s lavish 2022 wedding. Reports had earlier hinted at disagreements involving wedding arrangements, including creative and logistical decisions, which allegedly led to friction between Victoria Beckham and her daughter-in-law.

One of the most prominently circulated theories suggests that the initial clash between the two ladies of the Beckham family happened over the bridal outfit. Victoria, who is one of the most sought after designer in the USA, was reportedly upset when her daughter-in-law chose to wear a Valentino Couture gown for her big day. Though both sides publicly denied any feud at the time, the cracks now appear harder to ignore. Inmarch 2023, Nicola and Brooklyn even attended Victoria's Paris Fashion Week show, and the former singer took to her Instagram account to share a photo with her daughter-in-law.
