Team Beckham's deafening silence as Brooklyn's wedding speech sparks fresh heartbreak
Brooklyn Beckham's gushing speech to wife Nicola Peltz at their wedding vow ceremony will have provided fresh heartache to his parents, David and Victoria Beckham.
Now, the rest of the Beckham family's telling silence is apparent on social media as they avoid liking any of Brooklyn or Nicola's posts or even tagging them in new pictures and online updates.
In several posts from their family holiday, Victoria only tagged Romeo, Cruz, Harper and David. Likewise, David posted snaps with Romeo. Before the rift, both parents still used to tag Brooklyn in their captions even if he was absent from the pictures.
This comes straight off Brooklyn's 'moving' speech at his wedding. Insiders had said the former aspiring photographer "spoke movingly" of the Bates Motel actress during the event at Nelson Peltz's estate at the beginning of August.
A source close to the couple said: 'He spoke from the heart - and at the centre of his heart is Nicola who he loves very dearly, but also the Peltz family who have really stuck by his side. He wanted to recognise them all, and was determined to do them all justice.' The speech will be a 'dagger' to the Beckham family's hearts, who has been left out of the couple's lives.
It will be especially painful as it it understood that there was no similar tribute to his own parents, David, 50 and Victoria, 51. It comes after David Beckham ditches his iconic tiny trunks on yacht trip with Gordon Ramsay's family.
This month, the rift escalated as Brooklyn Beckham and wife Nicola Peltz renewed their wedding vows in the US – without inviting any members of the Beckham clan along.
Brooklyn and Nicola have been sharing the gorgeous snaps from the event, which was reportedly attended by 200 guests. However, the Beckham family were nowhere to be seen.
'Victoria's heart is breaking behind closed doors,' our source recently said. 'Brooklyn is her firstborn and she's worried she's never going to get him back. Seeing him and Nicola renew their vows without her and David was tough. They have missed out on some big family moments already and Victoria is afraid that the longer this goes on, the less chance there is of it being resolved.'
David seemingly offered an olive branch to Brooklyn when he liked one of his posts where he filmed a cooking tutorial using his hot sauce brand, Cloud 23.
It comes after Brooklyn snubbed a number of big family events. In April, he failed to publicly acknowledge his mother's 51st birthday and later snubbed David's milestone 50th birthday in May.
David celebrated with intimate events in Cotswolds, a quick trip to Paris and a lavish birthday party with celebrity guests in Notting Hill. However, Brooklyn and Nicola wasn't seen at any of the events.
He also stayed silent on Father's Day in June, seemingly ignoring his parents' 26th wedding anniversary, and he also failed to acknowledge David's recent knighthood on social media.
It's understood relations were souring even ahead of Brooklyn and Nicola's wedding three years ago. As well as an alleged disagreement over the design of the bride's wedding dress, there were rumours that Nicola felt 'upstaged' by Victoria at times.

St. Patrick's Cathedral unveils its largest mural in 150 years, dedicated to NYC's immigrant communities
It's not every day that New York's most famous house of worship gets a glow-up. But this fall, St. Patrick's Cathedral, the 146-year-old Gothic Revival landmark on Fifth Avenue, will unveil its largest commissioned artwork since the cathedral first opened. And yes, it's a showstopper. Cardinal Timothy Dolan announced that Brooklyn-based artist Adam Cvijanovic has been tapped to create a monumental mural that stretches 25 feet high and wraps around the cathedral's entrance vestibule. Titled What's So Funny About Peace, Love and Understanding (Elvis Costello fans, take note), the work will be officially dedicated during Mass on Sunday, September 21. Cvijanovic's sweeping tableau pays tribute to the generations of immigrants who have made New York City what it is today, while also tipping a hat to the city's first responders. Inspired by the Apparition at Knock in Ireland—a vision witnessed in 1879, the same year St. Patrick's was consecrated—the mural marries sacred imagery with the very secular hustle of New York's history. Think saints and angels hovering above, while Irish immigrants stream ashore on one panel and modern-day arrivals from every corner of the globe take their place on another. The cast of characters is vast, realistic and larger than life. Saint Frances Cabrini, patron saint of immigrants, makes an appearance, as does Dorothy Day of Catholic Worker fame, New York's first Archbishop John Hughes and Al Smith, the former governor and first Catholic presidential nominee. There's also Pierre Toussaint, the Haitian-born philanthropist buried in the cathedral's crypt, plus Saint Kateri Tekakwitha, the first Native American saint. It's basically a who's who of New York's immigrant and Catholic history, all rendered in Cvijanovic's luminous, sky-filled style with rays of gold leaf tying the eras together. Cvijanovic, a self-taught painter known for sprawling, site-specific works, says the mural intentionally flattens time: 'Everything exists at once in a heavenly realm where there is no passage of time.' In other words, saints, first responders and everyday New Yorkers all stand shoulder to shoulder.

Exclusive: RHONY star accuses iconic artist ex-fiancée of sexual harassment and millions of dollars in theft
In honoring Mickalene Thomas this spring as one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people of 2025, 16-time Grammy-winner Alicia Keys called the celebrated American contemporary artist 'a mastermind at conveying poignant messages through striking visuals.' 'Mickalene herself is walking art,' Keys wrote in her paean to the 54-year-old Brooklyn resident. 'She has such a distinct presence and aura that it's impossible not to feel inspired by her. The art and the artist both are bold, fearless, and fierce.' But Thomas' former fiancée Racquel Chevremont, who continued to partner professionally with Thomas following the pair's 2020 breakup, says the artist sexually harassed her, created a 'hostile' and 'abusive' working environment and shorted her out of millions of dollars over the course of their decade-long relationship. That's according to previously unreported court documents obtained by The Independent, which reveal Chevremont wants a minimum of $10 million from Thomas over allegations that include breach of contract, unjust enrichment, retaliation and violations of state and local human rights laws. Thomas's work can also be found in, among other places, MoMA, the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., and Jay-Z's Manhattan offices. Thomas's 2016 mixed-media rendering of Chevremont, a well-regarded art curator and consultant who joined the Real Housewives of New York cast last year, sold at auction five years later for more than $1.8 million. Messages sent to Thomas's work and personal email addresses went unanswered. Chevremont's legal and management teams did not respond to requests for comment. In a summons and notice filed in New York State Supreme Court on August 8, Chevremont says she is now seeking 'redress for years of exploitation, nonpayment and unlawful conduct.' 'From 2012 to 2022, Ms. Chevremont, who is also Ms. Thomas' former fiancée, contributed immeasurably to Ms. Thomas' artistic and commercial success, acting as a strategic advisor, and liaison to galleries, collectors, and institutions,' the filing contends. 'Despite these work-related contributions, Ms. Chevremont was paid improperly for more than a decade, both as an employee and under a written agreement effective January 1, 2021, as well as for compensation prior to 2021 and for multimillion-dollar deals she negotiated on Ms. Thomas' behalf.' Chevremont was reportedly entitled to a 20 percent cut on sales of commissioned works she helped land. The filing further accuses Thomas of having 'illegally diverted significant funds and business opportunities from her and Ms. Chevremont's jointly-owned entity' to her own LLC. 'In addition to diverting funds and not properly compensating Ms. Chevremont, Ms. Thomas also subjected Ms. Chevremont to a hostile and abusive work environment as well as quid pro quo harassment,' the filing alleges. Following their split, it says Thomas 'repeatedly and improperly pressured Ms. Chevremont to resume their romantic relationship, and ultimately terminated Ms. Chevremont's employment, in violation of New York State and New York City Human Rights Laws, when she made it clear that this would never happen.' Chevremont is asking a judge to award her 'not less than' $10 million, plus interest, attorneys' fees and court costs. While they were together, Thomas and Chevremont billed themselves as ' Deux Femmes Noires,' and used their resources and connections to boost young Black and LGBT artists. The two first met in 2002, began dating in 2011, and were engaged in 2019, on New Year's Eve. Raised in the Bronx, Chevremont has appeared in ad campaigns for L'Oréal, Fila and Benetton. She has two children with ex-husband Corey Baylor, a New York City financier, and became the second-ever LGBTQ+ cast member on RHONY when she signed on for season 15. 'My entire adult life has been about representation and using whatever platform I have to get the voices of queer folks of the diaspora out there,' Chevremont told GLAAD in June 2024. 'What better way to do so if not as a member of this iconic franchise?' Bravo, which produces and broadcasts the reality series, announced at the time that Chevremont would be 'living out a fairytale' onscreen, and would not 'let past rumors from the New York art scene get in the way of her happily ever after." Her current fiancée, motorcycle-riding forensic neuropsychologist Mel Corpus, was dubbed ' ludicrously hot ' by Vogue. 'Mel and I, we've been friends for over 12 years,' Chevremont said in her first RHONY episode. 'We were very single when we got together, but there was a bit of a scandal. There were a few people that were not all that happy.' Chevremont announced her engagement to Corpus on the air last October, flaunting a diamond ring that, as PEOPLE magazine joked, could ' be seen from outer space.' Thomas now has a little less than three weeks to formally respond to Chevremont's allegations.

Romeo, David, Cruz, and grandpa show off defiant vacation snaps amid Beckham family feud
David and Victoria Beckham and three of their four children have shown off their glamorous vacation photos amid their feud with couple's other son Brooklyn. It was Cruz's turn to post on social media while David and Victoria are currently away with Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14, and Cruz's girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 29. Cruz shared snaps giving a nod to his passions - showing him sitting with his father and brother, as well as David's dad Ted while playing guitar, while he kissed Jackie in another shot and played soccer in a duo of videos. The Beckhams have been snubbed by Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, after they said 'I do' for a second time on August 2 in Westchester County in front of her family, with the Beckham clan notably absent, having not been informed of the event. Further heartache has come in the form of a leak of Brooklyn's speech, in which he reportedly opened up on his love for the Peltz family, as well as speaking 'movingly' of his wife in front of the 200 guests. Further heartache has come in the form of a leak of Brooklyn's speech, in which he reportedly opened up on his love for the Peltz family, as well as speaking 'movingly' of his wife in front of the 200 guests. A source told The Mirror: 'He spoke from the heart - and at the center of his heart is Nicola who he loves very dearly, but also the Peltz family who have really stuck by his side. He wanted to recognize them all, and was determined to do them all justice.' News of the 'heartfelt tribute' to billionaire Nelson Peltz, 83, and wife Claudia, 70, will no doubt add to the pain of the Beckham family amid their estrangement from Brooklyn, with it said that no such tribute was given for his own parents. While Brooklyn enjoyed his time overseas, the Beckhams enjoyed a prolonged stint in the south of France before heading to Italy. Both Cruz and Jackie have been uploading pictures from the Italian leg of their trip, however the gap between the siblings remains. Cruz was seen in front of a pool while kissing Jackie before taking some time to perform soccer tricks. When he reached for his guitar, followers were tickled by an image showing Romeo giving him 'side eye' while he performed for three generations of Beckhams. In addition to his immediate family, Brooklyn's grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles were also absent and only found out about the wedding vow renewal by reading online. It comes as Brooklyn is reportedly 'heartbroken' over the way his wife Nicola is being 'painted as a viper' within their ongoing family feud. Billionaire heiress Nicola has previously been accused of 'isolating' Brooklyn from not only his family, but his friends too. New sources allege Brooklyn is not being held from making his own decisions and is 'devastated' over the way his wife is being portrayed. A source told The Mirror: 'It's so rooted in misogyny that all of the heat for his parents not being invited is on Nicola. 'Everyone seems to forget that Brooklyn is an adult man and fully capable of speaking out. Nicola would have respected all that he chose. It breaks Brooklyn's heart to see his wife being painted as this vixen and viper.'
