Any that hold particularly special meaning for you both?
Brooklyn: A few. I have Nicola’s eyes tattooed on my neck. Our vows, obviously. A Star of David. And one in memory of my grandfather.
You both took each other’s last names—why was that important?
Brooklyn: We thought it was sweet. Especially thinking ahead, to when we have kids. Just imagine a bunch of little Peltz Beckhams running around.
Nicola: For me, it really mattered. Especially as a woman. If you don’t want to give up your name, combining them is a good solution.
Has anything changed between you since getting married?
Nicola: We were engaged for a long time because of COVID. We wanted a big wedding, but we also wanted to protect our grandparents. There were moments when we thought, Should we just elope in Vegas? But people talked us out of it. When you’ve lived together for a while, marriage doesn’t change everything except that it feels really special to say “my husband” or “my wife.”
Brooklyn: Same here. It felt weird saying “fiancée” for so long. I love calling her “my wife” now. Or “my missus.” It just feels better.

How do you protect your relationship in such a public spotlight?
Brooklyn: Ignore the noise. Keep your head down, work hard, be kind. People are always going to talk. What matters is that we’re happy together.
Nicola: It’s not always easy. On TikTok there are always random stories popping up about us. When I see fake news, my instinct is to shut it down. But it’s not worth it. I just scroll past and move on.
What’s your best advice for young couples?
Brooklyn: Always be honest. There’s nothing worse than keeping things from each other.
Nicola: My parents always told me, “Tell us the truth, and we’ll help you.” That mindset has stayed with me. Whether it’s with friends, family, or in a relationship—honesty builds trust, closeness, growth. Real connection only happens when you’re brave enough to be honest.
Do you have nicknames for each other?
Nicola: “Babe” or “Baby.” He also calls me “My bird” sometimes—I’m not a fan.
Brooklyn: Or “Missus” and “Darling.”
What are some low-stakes things you disagree about?
Brooklyn: The temperature in our bedroom. I like it freezing; Nicola likes it warm.
Nicola: Same with lighting! I love it soft and cozy. Brooklyn turns on every light. But marriage is about compromise. He cranks the AC, I layer up under blankets.
Brooklyn, you recently went from pursuing photography to cooking to launching your own brand of hot sauce, Cloud 23—what sparked that?
Brooklyn: Cooking has always been my passion. As a kid and even while traveling, I’d take classes, talk to chefs, try everything. I liked photography, but with food? I felt something deeper. During COVID, I started cooking every day. Nicola encouraged me to share it. But I never wanted to be a traditional chef—I was more interested in the business side. That’s how we launched our hot sauce brand, Cloud 23. The 23 stands for our engagement date and my age back then.
