Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz renew vows just three years after marrying
Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz have renewed their vows just three years after their wedding. The couple shared pictures of the ceremony, officiated by Nicola's father, Nelson, 83. David and Victoria Beckham were noticeably absent as the feud with their son rumbles on. The private event was held at an estate in Westchester County, near New York, owned by Mr Peltz, a billionaire investor. The young couple married in a luxurious £3million ceremony in 2022. Relations between Brooklyn and his parents began to fray soon afterwards, leaving the Beckham's ever more isolated from their firstborn son. Nicola, in particular, has rarely been pictured with her in-laws since the feud began, after she apparently snubbed offers by Victoria to make her bridal dress. The Beckhams were also reportedly unhappy at the Peltz's more prominent role in organising the wedding. Earlier in 2025, when David celebrated his 50th birthday alongside Tom Cruise, Guy Ritchie and Gordon Ramsay, their son and daughter-in-law were conspicuously absent. The highly public family rift has prompted comparisons with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's flight across the Atlantic and alienation from the Royal family. Brooklyn was reportedly keen to invite the Sussexes to his wedding, though they did not attend. Brooklyn and Nicola shared the images of their vow renewal on Instagram with the caption 'only love'. Brooklyn described the event as a 'really beautiful experience' that he would do 'every single day' if he could. The 26-year-old added that the ceremony was intended to be a 'really cute memory' for the couple to treasure. In 2024 Nicola, 29, revealed the couple video call each other for 'FaceTime sleepovers' when they're not together She shared a screenshot on her Instagram showing the pair had logged a call more than nine hours long overnight, having started at 11.36pm and hanging up at 9am.

Brooklyn and Nicola have declared war against ‘toxic' Beckhams – but there's a final move they still need to make
'ONLY love' declared Nicola and Brooklyn Beckham on their respective Instagram feeds as they renewed their wedding vows. Whilst hatefully excluding their in-laws, the family that gave them half their lucrative surname. 2 2 Because make no bones about it, August 2nd 2025 was the day this young couple declared war, deliberate or otherwise, on David and Victoria. Two parents who, despite their faults - after all, nobody is perfect, nobody - unquestionably are devoted, loving parents. Brooklyn and Nicola are doubtless head-over-heels in love. A therapist might say 'co-dependant'. But whatever. They love each other. Very much. That they found room for their beloved dogs, but not young Harper or Brooklyn's aging grandparents, seems especially telling. But why shouldn't they celebrate that special, erm, three year landmark? Nicola's dad is worth £1.2 billion. That money ain't gonna spend itself. There has been so much fervid speculation over the past six months or so about this family feud. And whilst it is a lazy trope to always blame the woman - in this case Nicola - it DOES seem cruel for Brooklyn not to have at least alerted the Beckhams to what they were planning. Details would willingly share to their combined 21 million followers worldwide. David Beckham sings with son Cruz as they reveal glimpse of lavish holiday I do not begrudge a young couple in love- good luck to them. And they can invite whomsoever they choose. But to dismiss one half of the family is a devastating blow to David and Victoria, and just as heartbreaking for the extended family. Brooklyn, who really is a very sweet and humble boy, cannot help the surname he inherited at birth. But if he really has had enough of his parents, people he clearly regards as toxic, then perhaps he could put his money where his mouth off - and lose their surname once and for all. Let's see.

Nicola Peltz, 30, poses topless with her ageless mother Claudia, 70, as she shares a glimpse into the morning before she secretly renewed her vows with husband Brooklyn Beckham
Nicola Peltz posed topless next to her age-defying mother Claudia as she shared snaps the morning of her secret vow renewal with Brooklyn Beckham. The couple, who first wed in 2022, said 'I do' for a second time on August 2 in Westchester County in front of her family. Brooklyn's parents Victoria and David were very much absent amid their feud. 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. Fun-filled snaps captured the bride getting ready with her model mother in a white bridal robe. 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 in favour of a Valentino gown in 2022 - a choice which wasn't well received - Nicola once again snubbed her mother-in-law 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 after failing to attend any of his father's 50th birthday celebrations in May. All the while the Beckhams were said to be upset by the Peltzes 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. They also shared a video of their very casual proposal on TikTok alongside a song by Ysabelle Cuevas alongside the words: 'Lost in your eyes..' 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. 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 (her parents pictured on their wedding day) Brooklyn said the moment was all about creating a 'really cute memory' they'd treasure forever. Nicola was by his side as they exchanged longer vows than their original wedding, a detail Brooklyn confessed may cause a problem for his already inked tribute. Speaking to People he said: 'It was beautiful. We just wanted a really beautiful experience - a really cute memory. 'To be honest, I could renew my vows every single day with her. I think the most important thing that someone can do is find that person that they're going to spend the rest of their life with. 'It definitely shapes you as a person. It was really, really cute. It was really fun.' The eldest Beckham has his first set of vows tattooed on his arm and now admits he'll have to 'find space' for the new ones. The ceremony was a far cry from their first glitzy bash, with the couple opting for a smaller, more personal event surrounded by their four dogs. Far from being a party-loving celeb couple, Brooklyn says their favourite nights are spent at home, sipping wine and cooking together. The former footballer and Spice Girl enjoyed a spot of reading while topping up their tans after he was caught cheekily pinching her bottom The pair began dating back in October 2019, went Instagram official a few months later, and by July 2020, Brooklyn had popped the question. In another turn of events, the son of David and Victoria Beckham said he is keen to remind fans not to stress over life timelines, revealing that he didn't discover his career passion until his early twenties and now he's the proud owner of hot sauce brand Cloud23. Brooklyn added that Nicola played a major role in his business journey, pushing him to pursue food after he confessed he wasn't sure what career path to take. It all started, he admitted, after 'getting really drunk one night' and experimenting with making hot sauce in their kitchen. That tipsy trial run turned into a full-blown business, with Brooklyn spotting a gap in the market for high-end hot sauces with clean ingredients. Two flavours - Hot Habanero and Sweet Jalapeño - are now on sale and both featured in his recent Airbnb Originals Experience event in Los Angeles. Guests at the party were served spicy pickle martinis infused with his sauce before learning how to whip up chimichurri from celebrity chef Aaron May. Brooklyn revealed that cooking is his 'favourite thing', whether it's for Nicola, friends, or even the couple's beloved pets. His go-to dish is spaghetti bolognese - but with a twist - a whole bottle of red wine and a cork thrown into the pot for good luck. Brooklyn said: 'I add a whole bottle of red wine. The cheapest red wine is always the best for bolognese. I actually put 10 bay leaves in there.' He added: 'I don't know where I learned this, but I put the cork of the wine in the pot. I don't think it does anything. Then, I just marinate it for five hours.' And when he's entertaining, Brooklyn confessed candles, good music, and low lighting are his non-negotiable. Brooklyn's parents David and Victoria have been enjoying their annual summer break on their £16 million yacht in Europe. But he and Nicola have kept away amid an ongoing family feud, as the pair lived it up on a £85million vessel that dwarfs his parents' close by the week before. The family has been thrown into turmoil in recent months as it has been claimed Brooklyn has become increasingly estranged from his famous parents after failing to attend any of his father David's 50th birthday celebrations in May. It was also revealed that Brooklyn and Nicola's Instagram accounts no longer follow his younger brothers in the latest family drama. However, Brooklyn's friends told Daily Mail that Cruz and Romeo have actually blocked them on the social media platform. This would make sense given that Brooklyn and Nicola are still following Victoria and David. Brooklyn also didn't wish either his mum Victoria or dad David a happy birthday on social media - an unusual move for the Beckhams, who are known for their loving posts. This is in stark contrast to a post Brooklyn shared recently for his father-in-law and wrote on a picture of himself and Nicola with the billionaire: 'Happy birthday Nelson x We love you.'
