Why Brooklyn Beckham and wife Nicola Peltz didn't invite his brothers Romeo and Cruz to their lavish second wedding amid his family feud
Brooklyn Beckham and wife Nicola Peltz recently had a lavish 'second' wedding, however his parents David and Victoria were noticeably absent from the guest list. Posh and Becks weren't the only family members of Brooklyn's missing from the 200 people guest list, as his brothers Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, were also not invited. The brothers absence was reportedly down to a series of online 'trolling' from the duo, according to those close to Brooklyn and Nicola. A friend told The Mirror: 'Brooklyn's brothers have been fanning the openly made fun of and trolled Brooklyn in comments on social media.' Earlier this year, Cruz seemed to issue yet another swipe at elder brother Brooklyn after declaring the 'truth would unfold' amid the family's bitter fallout. Shortly after posting the pointed lyrics from The Beatles 1969 song, he took to social media once again to upload a video of himself playing the guitar. While the post quickly garnered more than 15,000 likes on TikTok, it also attracted a series of comments from trolls - with Cruz quick to hit back. One commented: 'Are you going to stick with this job or going to become a race car driver next or something?' To which Cruz - seemingly throwing shade at his brother Brooklyn's many career paths - responded: 'Wrong brother mate'. Over the years, Brooklyn has tried his hand at several different careers from modelling, to photography to becoming a chef and most recently training as a Formula E driver. It is unknown why the simple social media comments would have bothered Brooklyn to that extent. The actress has previously been accused of 'isolating' Brooklyn from not only his family, but his friends too. As well as Posh, Becks and his brothers, Brooklyn's sister Harper, his grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles were also absent and only found out about the wedding vow renewal by reading it online. The Peltz's friend was responding to questions as to why it was necessary to ban the whole Beckham family from the wedding celebration on August 2. Cruz was asked: 'Are you going to stick with this job or going to become a race car driver next or something?' To which Cruz - seemingly throwing shade at his brother Brooklyn's many career paths - responded: 'Wrong brother mate' Over the years, Brooklyn has tried his hand at several different careers from modelling, to photography to becoming a chef and most recently training as a Formula E driver As one insider said: 'They are trying to make the best decisions for them in what are very unfortunate circumstances. Navigating family stuff is hard and it's ugly.' Astonishingly, they still claim to hope for a reconciliation, the pal added: 'The door is open. No one wants to see this kind of pain exist. There is always hope. At the end of the day. Blood is thicker than water.' Daily Mail has contacted Brooklyn, Nicola and the Beckhams' representatives for comment. Brooklyn and wife Nicola, who first wed in 2022, said 'I do' for a second time in Westchester County in front of her family who had key roles in the day, with the Beckham clan nowhere in sight. Nicola wore her 70-year-old mother's vintage 1985 bridal gown for the big day, while her father Nelson, 83, was given the key role of officiating. Brooklyn become increasingly estranged from his family since he snubbed his father's 50th birthday, and now, the family fear it's a final kick in the teeth. A source told The Sun: '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.' The source added: '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.'. As well as Posh, Becks and his brothers, Brooklyn's sister Harper, his grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles were also absent and only found out about the wedding vow renewal by reading it online (family seen before feud) Daily Mail has contacted Brooklyn, Nicola and the Beckhams' representatives for comment. Brooklyn and Nicola first tied the knot in a lavish £3million ceremony in 2022, when relations first began to sour with his parents in the run-up to the big day. After shunning a dress made by her fashion designer Victoria mother-in-law in favour of a Valentino gown in 2022 - a choice which wasn't well received - Nicola once again snubbed the Spice Girl and wore her mother Claudia's vintage wedding gown. It is a poignant message to Posh and Becks', whom he and Nicola have grown increasingly estranged over recent months. All the while the Beckhams were said to be upset by the Peltz's in 2022 who they felt were taking over the wedding. And ever since their first big nuptials in April 2022, the two families have not reunited and Nicola has rarely been pictured with the Beckhams. The couple shared the images on Instagram on Monday, alongside the words 'only love.' Nicola wore the same original $1.8mill ring set adding a glinting filter onto the dazzling jewels. Brooklyn described the vow renewal as a 'really beautiful experience' while admitting he is still head-over-heels for his wife. Speaking for the first time about the day, the 26-year-old admitted he'd happily do it 'every single day' if he could. Brooklyn said the moment was all about creating a 'really cute memory' they'd treasure forever.

Julianne Moore, 64, ditches Hollywood glamour as she posts rare makeup-free selfie
Julianne Moore was effortlessly radiant as she posted a rare makeup-free selfie to Instagram on Tuesday. The 64-year-old Oscar winner - who recently whisked herself away for an Italian getaway with her family - shared the photo with fans while reflecting on special moments from the month of August thus far. The mom-of-two flashed a cheerful smile as she sported a plunging, black bikini top while spending time outdoors. Julianne also opted to showcase her glowing skin to her 2.7 million followers while taking in a scenic sunset. Another image was taken of a wooden deck that was surrounded by trees and tall grass as water stretched out in the distance. The blue sky was covered with wispy clouds that had hues of orange and pink as the evening sun began to set. The Oscar winner jumped to her main Instagram page on Tuesday to share special moments from the month of August thus far; seen in May in NYC The May December actress indulged in a tasty meal that comprised of fresh tomatoes, basil and mozzarella cheese. Julianne's dog Hope also celebrated turning one year older and the Hollywood star included a slide dedicated to the adorable pup. Both she and her husband Bart Freundlich adopted the lab mix back in 2020 from Gimme Shelter Animal Rescue. Lastly, the star showed her Wordle score to her fans and simply captioned the Instagram carousel with, 'August.' Julianne has previously opened up about beauty and offered her thoughts on the phrase 'aging gracefully.' During a past interview with As If Magazine in 2021, she said, 'There's so much judgement inherent in the term "aging gracefully." Is there an ungraceful way to age? 'We don't have an option, of course. No one has an option about aging, so it's not a positive or a negative thing, it just is.' In regards to aging, the actress explained that it is 'part of the human condition, so why are we always talking about it as if it is something that we have control over?' She added that growing older should instead be focused on 'challenging ourselves' and to 'learn new things.' 'How do we continue to evolve? How do we navigate life to have even deeper experiences?' Julianne further expressed. And while talking to Glamour, the Sirens star stated that she felt 'makeup is something that you should want to wear, but you shouldn't feel like you have to. 'I think it's an antiquated idea, this idea that we put makeup on to cover something up, to cover up our flaws, or to look professional. You can be professional without makeup. Makeup should be a want, not a need.' She later reflected, 'That's the biggest change that I think we've had in the beauty industry…is that you do it for yourself, not because you feel that you have to.' During an interview with Vogue in 2023, Julianne gave insight into her skincare routine - which comprises of Cetaphil cleanser, SPF, serums and eye cream. And when it comes to the application of makeup, the mom-of-two explained that she doesn't 'like a lot of coverage; I like to be able to see the freckles in my skin and color in my skin as well.' Julianne has been keeping busy during the summer season and recently enjoyed an Italian trip with her husband Bart as well as their two children Liv, 27, and Caleb, 23. The actress and her loved ones were spotted taking a dip in the cool water in the city of Grosseto. Julianne sported a black, one-piece swimsuit while her mini-me daughter donned a shimmering gold bikini. She additionally shared a few memorable pictures to her Instagram page from the family vacation, including her two kids posing together. Another showed Liv and Caleb pausing for a snap with their dad Bart - whom Julianne tied the knot with in 2003. The actress also recently made an appearance in the Netflix limited series titled Sirens - alongside other cast members such as Meghann Fahy, Milly Alcock, Kevin Bacon and Glenn Howerton. The premise is: 'Worried about her sister's too-close relationship with her billionaire boss, a scrappy everywoman seeks answers at a lavish seaside estate,' per an official synopsis. The show has garnered critical praise since its release on the streaming site back in May. Sirens also recently raked in Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for Meghann and also Outstanding Directing. A couple months earlier in June, Julianne also hinted at a possible move to the U.K. - after other Hollywood celebrities have left the U.S. following Donald Trump's presidential win late last year in November. During an appearance on Capital Breakfast with her Echo Valley co-star Sydney Sweeney, the Still Alice actress explained how she has a British passport due to her mother being from Scotland. When asked if she could 'see herself' residing in the U.K. full-time, Julianne replied, 'I can actually, my husband and I have talked about that sometimes. It could be kind of fun. 'I've worked here a lot and I'm really comfortable here. I've been working here, gosh, probably since the nineties...' Other stars that have moved out of the United States since Trump's second term began in the White House include Rosie O'Donnell, Eva Longoria and Ellen DeGeneres.

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS reviews In Flight on Ch4: Spare a thought for the Bulgarian tourist board after this dark thriller
In Flight (Ch4) The opening three minutes of In Flight were crammed with so much backstory, I had to check this rush of events wasn't a recap of an earlier series. In a blur of flashback images, we saw a bunch of lads downing beer in a rough bar, a chase, a fight, and a frantic single mother flying across Europe to the aid of her 19-year-old son facing murder charges in a Bulgarian jail. After a tearful prison visit, we caught up with mum Jo months later, trying to hang on to her job as a flight attendant while fighting a solo legal battle. That's quite a set-up. For the first half-hour, Katherine Kelly battled to maintain the pace, but like a runner who starts a marathon with a sprint, she inevitably began to flag. Twice, she flopped down onto a mattress and appeared to pass out from sheer exhaustion. I don't blame her. At first it seemed this six-part thriller, which continues tonight, would concentrate on her struggle to win freedom for her son, helpfully named Sonny (Harry Cadby). But the plot took a twist after Jo went out drinking in a bar with friends, downing shots of vodka and red wine mixed with Coke — a hellish concoction. You would think that, after the trouble that booze bingeing caused her teenage son, she would be teetotal. Instead, she starts flirting with a bearded guy (Stuart Martin) whose Northern Irish accent is as intimidating as his leather jacket. Fishy tale of the night J.B. Gill went snorkelling over a reef in the English Channel off Bognor Regis, in Coastal Adventures (Ch5). He was looking for Stompy the stingray. 'He's huge but he hasn't got a sting,' said another diver. Sounds like Stompy is a big softy. When she arrives home at the end of the night, he's already let himself into the house, which seems a bit forward. Turns out he's a drugs runner for an organised crime gang, with one of those offers-you-can't-refuse: either she agrees to smuggle heroin in her cabin crew luggage allowance, or his associates in the East European jail will kill her son. All credit to Martin - I knew I recognised him from the moment he gave Jo a wolfish smile, but it wasn't till I Googled that the penny dropped: he was the urbane but irascible Inspector William Wellington in the Victorian detective show, Miss Scarlet And The Duke. The two roles could hardly be more different, and yet he seems naturally fitted for both. His sinister presence gives In Flight an edge of menace, leaving us genuinely fearful for Jo's safety. But she doesn't make it easy for us to warm to her. When she needs money or reassurance, she turns to former lover and customs officer Dom (Ashley Thomas), phoning him in the early hours of the morning even though he's married with a small child. And the first time she brings drugs through airport security, she switches bags with her best friend, so that if anyone does get caught, it won't be Jo. Charming. But if Jo's unlikeable, spare a thought for the Bulgarian tourist board. No one's going to be booking a holiday there after watching this.
