Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz's relationship has been branded as "unhealthy" amid fears that the US actress, who tied the knot with the eldest Beckham son in 2022, is "isolating" him from his family.
Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz have been no strangers to the headlines as of late due to their apparent fall out with the rest of the Beckham clan. Since Nicola's first arrival on the scene, there have been numerous rumours of rifts between her and her mother-in-law Victoria Beckham over trivial disputes such as wedding dresses - but there was never any signs of Brooklyn being involved until now.
The pair are said to be embroiled in a tense family feud with Brooklyn's family after they failed to attend David's 50th birthday celebrations earlier this month. Brooklyn, who is David and Victoria's eldest son, appears to be putting some distance between himself and his usually tight-knit family as he has failed to publicly acknowledge either of his parents on social media during their birthdays this year.
‌
However, his latest Instagram post, dedicated to Nicola, made his stance very clear on whose side he would be picking when it came to his wife or the Beckhams. Sharing a video of him driving a motorbike with the American actress on the back, he wrote: "My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you're the most amazing person i know xx me and you forever baby."
‌
It comes amid fears that Brooklyn's relationship with Nicola is "unhealthy" and that she is "isolating" him from his family.
Brooklyn's infatuation with the Bates Motel star is clear in his 70 tattoos he has dedicated to her on his body, which sources say that close friends of the Beckhams are somewhat alarmed by. The 26-year-old, whose been branded as Nicola's "puppet" also appeared to fall hard and fast for Nicola, 30, having moved very fast in their relationship by popping the question to her within just nine months of dating.
Brooklyn and Nicola's relationship dates back to 2019 when they are said to have hit it off at Leonardo's DiCaprio's Halloween party. However, the pair first met a few years before hand at the Coachella Music Festival in 2019, where they have were reportedly introduced by Nicola's brother, Diesel, with the pair initially not clicking.
Fast forward just three years after their first meeting, the aspiring chef and American actress announced their plans to get married and they officially tied the knot in 2022.
Here we take a closer look at their relationship timeline...
‌
Beginning of relationship
Brooklyn and Nicola first started dating in October 2019, sparking romance rumours after they were spotted out for dinner following a Halloween party hosted by Leonardo DiCaprio.
The pair didn't go "Instagram official" until January 2020 but Beckham later confirmed their anniversary date when he celebrated one year of their relationship together on October 29 2020.

‌
Public debut
After confirming their relationship online, Brooklyn and Nicola made their first public appearance as a couple at the Saint Laurent show during Paris Fashion Week on February 25 2020.
They wore matching black outfits and lovingly gazed into each other's eyes for the camera.
Engagement
Only after about six months of announcing their relationship, the pair were officially engaged in July 2020.
‌
They shared their big news on Instagram on July 11 with a sweet snap of them embracing one another in a field, although Brooklyn revealed he had popped the question about two weeks before hand.
He wrote: "Two weeks ago I asked my soulmate to marry me and she said yes. I am the luckiest man in the world. I promise to be the best husband and the best daddy one day. I love you baby xx."
‌
Peltz shared her own message: "You've made me the luckiest girl in the world. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life by your side. your love is the most precious gift. I love you so so much baby and thank you harper for this pic."
Wedding day
Two years after confirming their relationship, Beckham and Peltz officially tied the knot on April 9, 2022.
Their big day was an elegant black tie event which was held on the Peltz's family estate in Palm Beach, Florida.
‌
The entire Beckham clan were in attendance, as well as Nicola's family, which includes her businessman father Nelson Peltz, model mother Claudia Heffner and her seven siblings, including professional hockey player Brad Peltz and actor Will Peltz.
Other famous family friends also made an appearance including Serena and Venus Williams, Jordana Brewster, Gordon Ramsay and Eva Longoria.
By this point, rumours were already rife that Nicola and her mother in-law were not getting along after the actress didn't wear a Victoria Beckham designed wedding gown on her big day.
‌
Nicola addresses Victoria 'feud'
On their big day, Nicola opted to wear a custom Valentino Haute Couture instead of a dress created by Victoria Beckham.
This move sparked widespread speculation that Peltz and the Spice Girl star were at odds. However, in an interview with Variety, Nicola revealed why she made that decision, shutting down any rumours of animosity between the two.
‌
She said: "I was going to [wear Victoria Beckham] and I really wanted to, and then a few months down the line, she realized that her atelier couldn't do it, so then I had to pick another dress. She didn't say you can't wear it; I didn't say I didn't want to wear it. That's where it started, and then they ran with that."
Brooklyn also shut down any bad feelings between his wife and mother, saying: "I've learned they're always going to try to write stuff like that. They're always going to try and put people down. But everyone gets along, which is good."
‌
Marriage tattoos
Brooklyn's body art collection in honour of Nicola started not long after they tied the knot with the 26-year-old getting the word "married" tattooed on the left side of his hand.
He shared the new ink with fans, writing: "Surprised my baby."
This was the second time that the eldest Beckham son had honoured his new marriage commitment, having previously tattooed his wedding vows on his arm.
‌
Nicola has also gotten some romantic ink, getting a "Brooklyn" tattoo on her upper back.
Brooklyn talks kids
In November 2022, Brooklyn spoke to PEOPLE about newlywed life as he discussed the idea of expanding his family.
He said: "I could have had kids yesterday. Obviously it's my wife's body, but I've always wanted to have a bunch of kids around. That's something I really want to do.
‌
"And my dad was young when he had me. He was 23. And I'm 23 now. I've always wanted to be a young dad."
Nicola's 30th celebrations
Nicola Peltz celebrated her milestone 30th birthday on January 9 this year with Brooklyn taking to Instagram to share a sweet post about his wife.
He wrote: " You make me smile and laugh and you are the most amazing and most gorgeous person I know. I just love the way you are. You are perfect in every way."
However, Nicola was not the only one to celebrate a big birthday this year as Brooklyn's father, David, turned 50 in May.
Unlike his post for Nicola, Brooklyn failed to publicly acknowledge his dad's big day and also snubbed his birthday celebrations.
