\n\tBattle like Beckham.<\/p>\n
\n\tFor years, rumors have abounded that Brooklyn Beckham \u2013 the oldest son of David and Victoria Beckham<\/a> \u2013 and his wife Nicola Peltz were feuding with the soccer icon and the Spice Girl. So what happened?<\/p>\n \n\tBrooklyn \u2013 who now goes by Brooklyn Peltz Beckham on social media<\/a> \u2013 proposed to his then-girlfriend, the daughter of billionaire Nicolas Peltz in 2020. Fast-forward to their April 2022 nuptials in Palm Beach, Florida, which \u2013 according to People<\/a> \u2013 included celebrity guests like Mel C, Serena and Venus Williams, Eva Longoria and Gordon Ramsay, as well as a performance by Marc Anthony<\/a> (which will come into play later).<\/p>\n \n\tThe pair then renewed their vows more than three years later in August 2025 \u2013 and neither Victoria nor David were in attendance. Notably, Brooklyn also skipped his father\u2019s 50th birthday celebration earlier that year.<\/p>\n \n\tThen, Brooklyn went nuclear in January 2026, posting a series of Instagram stories confirming much of the gossip that had plagued the family. \u201cI have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI do not want to reconcile with my family. I\u2019m not being controlled, I\u2019m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cFor my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into,\u201d he continued. \u201cRecently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they\u2019ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tScroll below for everything we know for sure about the family\u2019s fall out \u2013 including the accusations Brooklyn has made against his parents.<\/p>\n \tJuly 11, 2020: The Engagement Announcement<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cTwo weeks ago I asked my soulmate to marry me and she said yes xx I am the luckiest man in the world.
