The Beckham Family Feud
April 2022:
Brooklyn marries Nicola Peltz.
Wedding Dress Controversy:
Rumours begin circulating that there's tension between Nicola and Victoria Beckham after Nicola chooses not to wear a Victoria Beckham-designed wedding gown. Nicola later clarifies in August 2022 (and again in March 2023) that Victoria's atelier couldn't make the dress in time, but reports in May 2025 suggest Victoria actually changed her mind about making the dress.
Post-Wedding (2022 onwards):
Minimal interaction between Nicola and Victoria on social media, and noticeable absence of Nicola at key Beckham family events.
Alleged Wedding "Hijack":
In May 2025, a source claimed Victoria "ruined" part of the wedding by allegedly hijacking a dance with Marc Anthony, which was meant for Brooklyn and Nicola. Nicola reportedly ran from the room crying.
March 2025:
A resurfaced TikTok of Romeo and Cruz mimicking a "baby voice" (which fans associate with Nicola) sparks speculation of sibling shade.
April 2025:
Brooklyn and Nicola are reportedly absent from Victoria Beckham's 51st birthday celebrations in Miami and her Paris Fashion Week show.
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. Reports suggest their absence was due to Brooklyn not wanting to be in the same room as Kim Turnbull, the girlfriend of Romeo who had previously been reported to have been dating Brooklyn, who David allegedly opted to have at the party over Nicola.
Rumours emerge of a falling out between Brooklyn and his younger brother Romeo, reportedly due to Romeo's new girlfriend, DJ Kim Turnbull, who allegedly had a past connection with Brooklyn.
Reports surface that the Beckham parents are "hurt and disappointed" that Brooklyn is "playing no part in family life." Sources claim that tensions between Brooklyn and Nicola and his parents are "definitely not beyond repair."
June 2025:
Brooklyn and Nicola reportedly enlist a "crisis team" similar to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for "reputation management" due to the growing media scrutiny.
Cruz Beckham posts cryptic lyrics on Instagram that some interpret as a swipe at Brooklyn.
July 2025:
Reports indicate David and Victoria are "desperate" to reconcile with Brooklyn. Brooklyn publicly wishes his sister Harper a happy 14th birthday on Instagram, tagging Nicola, which is seen as a potential "olive branch" and a rare public message to his family amid the rumored rift.
Brooklyn UNFOLLOWS his brothers Romeo and Cruz just 24 hours after his birthday message to Harper. Nicola quickly follows suit and also ditches the Beckham bros from her Instagram following. Romeo and Cruz are now also no longer following Brooklyn.
But it was later revealed that

Over 160,000 people who have bought tickets to the gig they never thought they'd see in an Oasis reunion are finally set to see the reunited brothers in Croke Park tonight (August 16) and on Sunday (August 17), with the lads landing on our shores earlier this week. While guitarist Bonehead has been posting himself enjoying a sea swim and a few pints, Noel and Liam have kept quiet — but of course, in the age of social media, they were bound to be spotted somewhere, with Noel having been seen enjoying himself at Brady's Clockhouse pub in Maynooth on Friday evening.

Lighthouse horror as keeper forced to live with corpse and went slowly mad
Robert Eggers' 2019 psychological horror, The Lighthouse, bagged praise and even an Oscar nomination for its striking monochrome cinematography, eerie atmosphere, and stellar performances from Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson. The film spins the tale of two nineteenth-century lighthouse keepers marooned at a secluded New England outpost during a brutal storm, with isolation, suspicion, and bizarre visions taking their toll. While audiences and critics have debated the film's symbolism and genre – part horror, part myth, part drama – what many viewers may not know is that it was partly inspired by a real-life tragedy that occurred over 200 years ago on the distant coast of Wales. The true story, now referred to as the Smalls Lighthouse Tragedy, is one of the most chilling chapters in British maritime history and led to a lasting change in lighthouse policy. The Smalls Lighthouse perches on a rocky islet about 20 miles west of the St David's Peninsula in Pembrokeshire, exposed to the full force of the Irish Sea - designed and built in 1775, reports the Mirror. The original Smalls building has been replaced with a new structure since the automation of lighthouses Life at The Smalls was solitary and confined. At the time, lighthouse crews typically consisted of just two men, who would spend lengthy periods in total isolation. Their sole duties were to keep the lamp burning at night and maintain the structure by day, regardless of the weather. In 1801, the lighthouse was operated by Thomas Howell and Thomas Griffith, two blokes who were reportedly known to bicker. One day, Griffith fell seriously ill following what was described as a freak accident. Howell attempted to look after his mate and set up a distress signal in the hope a passing ship would relay their need for assistance. But this was an era without radio, and simple flag signalling was of little use for such a remote outpost. Storms battered the lighthouse for weeks, making it impossible for any ship to pass by. Griffith's condition deteriorated, and eventually, after a prolonged period of suffering, he passed away. Faced with the sudden reality of being alone, Howell also confronted a chilling dilemma. Because the two men had not been on good terms, he feared if he disposed of the body at sea, any future inquiry would suspect him of murder. His only option, he decided, was to keep the body until help arrived. The lighthouse is situated about 20 miles west of St David's Peninsula in Pembrokeshire At first, Howell kept Griffith's body inside the living quarters, a hut barely five metres in diameter. But the stench of decomposition soon became unbearable. A former cooper by trade, Howell dismantled part of the interior to build a makeshift coffin from timber boards. He placed Griffith inside, secured the lid, and hauled the coffin out to a shelf on the exterior of the lighthouse, tying it firmly in place. The weather showed no signs of easing up and, weeks later, the ferocious winds ripped the coffin to shreds, casting the planks into the sea and leaving the body tied to the railing, exposed to the harsh elements. It was at this point that the incident took on its most enduring – and gruesome – image. One of Griffith's arms had come loose, and whenever the wind caught it just right, it seemed to wave or beckon. Howell could see it from inside the hut, a constant and chilling reminder of his dire situation. As the days rolled by, several ships sailed within sight of the lighthouse, but the conditions were too treacherous to attempt a landing. Crews could see the light still burning at night – a testament to Howell's commitment to his duty – and during the day, they occasionally spotted a figure on the gallery. Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson in a scene from The Lighthouse (2019) (Image: Dumfries and Galloway Standard) From afar, they couldn't discern what had transpired, and with no apparent urgency in the signalling, they continued their journey. It's thought Howell lived alongside his deceased colleague for roughly four months before a ship from Milford Haven finally managed to land on The Smalls. When the rescuers arrived, they discovered Griffith's body still bound to the railings and Howell physically and mentally altered. Friends back on shore later claimed they didn't recognise him – his hair had turned prematurely grey, his face was gaunt, and he seemed shattered by the ordeal. The Smalls Lighthouse Tragedy sent shockwaves through the maritime community, highlighting the perils of having only two keepers at such a remote station. As a result, the governing body changed its policy to mandate that all lighthouses be manned by at least three individuals at any given time. This rule stood for nearly two centuries, until British lighthouses were automated in the late 20th century. The events of 1801 have sparked a plethora of works over the past two centuries. In 2011, the BBC aired The Lighthouse, a radio play by Alan Harris inspired by the tragedy. In 2016, Welsh director Chris Crow released a feature film with the same title, also loosely based on the events at The Smalls, before Robert Eggers' The Lighthouse brought the story to global audiences.

Given five years to live, ‘King of Chemo' to visit Wicklow on mammoth half marathon mission
The seemingly barmy scheme comes on the back of his exploits to do just about anything and everything possible on two legs. What sets Iain apart from the rest of us with two legs is that really, he is not supposed to be here at all. While working as a fitness instructor in 2019, Iain underwent an MRI scan during a clinical trial he was taking part in. Despite not having any symptoms, some serious problems showed up. Two weeks after his 31st birthday, he underwent surgery which confirmed he had stage 3 brain cancer. This normally comes with a life expectancy of five years. But in those intervening five years, Iain has done something incredible –he immediately took on the challenge of raising money for cancer research, while taking part in events that most fit and healthy people would baulk at. 'I'm using my cancer against itself by raising the most money ever for cancer research,' he said. Since that day he has been single-mindedly promoting his cause under the name 'The King of Chemo' on social media. His content immediately went viral and he has built a following of eight million on Instagram and six million on TikTok and was crowned TikTok's 2024 Voice for Change Award. He has completed scores of marathons, cycled across America, and appeared on Ray D'Arcy Show, Ireland AM and Good Morning America among others. At the start of the year, Iain took on the challenge of joining the Great World Race of 2024 by signing up to complete seven marathons in seven continents in just seven days. His brash, at times irreverent posts, have gained him huge support as he laughs in the face of his illness. Only this week, he posted: 'Over $550,000 has been raised so far. And if I live long enough this is pretty much guaranteed to happen. BTW I'm doing a half marathon a day at the moment, so I'm not f**king dying anytime soon.' In his latest, self-imposed challenge he is taking on 32 half marathons in every county in Ireland while wearing a 32-kilogramme weighted vest. He has already completed runs in 10 counties, and coming up soon on that list is Wicklow. On Saturday, August 23, Iain will be hosting a community run around Glendalough and everyone is invited to be part of the effort. 'I'll aim to have them all start at 12:34pm," he said, with his usual wit. So aim for noon would be the advice and head for Glendalough upper lake car park in good time. 'Glendalough will be 10k (I'll be doing my own 11km prior),' he said. Everyone is invited to participate, whether you run, jog, walk, or cheer from the sidelines – every step counts toward a worthy cause. Bray resident Ciarán Hogan is a childhood friend of Iain's and is encouraging everyone to join in and support the campaign in any way they can. 'Iain's courage and positivity are infectious. This run is about coming together as a community to support his incredible mission. Whether you complete the full 10 kilometres or just a few steps, your participation will make a difference,' he said.
