HEARTBROKEN David and Victoria Beckham believe son Brooklyn has “quit” the family after he renewed his wedding vows with Nicola Peltz.
None of the Beckhams were invited to the lavish ceremony on August 2 — presided over by Nicola’s billionaire dad Nelson — and only read about it on an US website.

After seeing photos of the happy couple, friends of the couple have asked: “Is the moment Brooklyn declared himself no longer a member of the Beckham family?”
The Beckham family feud has now rumbled on for four years — before Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, originally got married in 2022, The Sun can reveal.
Last night a source said: “This was the final kick in the teeth for David and Victoria.
“Seeing Nelson having such a pivotal role at the ceremony was heartbreaking for David especially. Not one member of the 30-plus extended family knew about the wedding, or were invited.
“His grandparents are devastated too as Brooklyn has always been so close to them.
“At the original wedding, for example, Liberty – the daughter of Victoria’s sister, Louise — was a bridesmaid but even she has been cut off now. The rift runs far deeper than people realise.
“It feels cruel and spiteful. This is no longer a game. It has gone beyond all that.
“This is a family who feel they have lost their precious boy – and see no way back. Honestly, they are now questioning why he even wants to keep the ‘Beckham’ surname – will he revert to Peltz? August 2nd 2025 – is this the day Brooklyn formally declared himself no longer a part of the Beckham family?
“It certainly feels like it.”
In the photos shared by the couple on Instagram, they are surrounded by Nicola’s family and friends.
The actress looked stunning in a repurposed dress which her mum Claudia wore when she married tycoon Nelson in 1985.
She also sported the same original £1.3million ring.
Brooklyn’s original wedding with Nicola took place on Nelson’s estate in Palm Beach, Florida, with Brooklyn’s sister Harper among the bridesmaids.
This time the couple chose Nelson’s Westchester estate in New York as the backdrop.
Alongside the images, the couple wrote: “only love.”
They also posted a video of their very casual proposal on TikTok alongside a song by Ysabelle Cuevas with the words: “Lost in your eyes.”
Brooklyn, who wore a suit with no tie, called the ceremony a “really beautiful experience” which was all about creating a “really cute memory” they would treasure forever.
However his family are understood to be questioning the need to renew his vows after just three years.
One friend said: “They would understand if it was, say, 10 years down the line – maybe even five. But three?! It seems like quite a gratuitous display of obscene wealth. Also, if Brooklyn wanted to create a really cute memory, why couldn’t he have just let his family know their plans first?
“To be honest, although there have been moments of rapprochement, this hostility dates back to 2021, around six months before the original wedding. The dynamics have just never really gelled.
“Of course David and Victoria want Brooklyn to be happy and clearly he is wildly in love still, but a lot of people have been hurt. It is a very sad situation and everyone fears there is no way back now. It is done.”
There had been a lot of tension before the original wedding.

The Beckhams claim Nicola was a “bridezilla” and hard work, while the Peltzes say their in-laws are “tight”.
Nicola also revealed Victoria reneged on a pledge to design her dress, infuriating the former Spice Girl.
There were also claims Victoria hijacked the first dance.
Earlier this year Brooklyn and Nicola were absent from the ex-Man United star’s 50th birthday celebrations.
He also recently U-turned on the inspiration behind his Cloud-23 hot sauce company – insisting it was named after the day he proposed to his US actress wife.
Last year he said it was a nod to the shirt number worn by his dad, who invested heavily in the company.

The aspiring chef has his first set of vows tattooed on his arm and now admits he’ll have to “find space” for more.
He told People magazine: “To be honest, I could renew my vows every single day with her. I think the most important thing that someone can do is find that person that they’re going to spend the rest of their life with.
“It definitely shapes you as a person. It was really, really cute. It was really fun.”
Last night some fans turned against the young couple.
One commented: “If you both really don’t like being part of the Beckhams that much, change your last full name and become Nicola and Brooklyn Peltz. That’s it.”
Another posted: “Wow! Poor Harper! Poor David! Without him you’d have NO Name Brooklyn, and you’d never have had a chance to meet her [Nicola]. Poor Victoria…”

- Post-Wedding (2022 onwards): Minimal interaction between Nicola and Victoria on social media, and noticeable absence of Nicola at key Beckham family events.

- May 2025: David Beckham’s 50th Birthday Snub: Brooklyn and Nicola are notably absent from David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations in London, despite being invited.
