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.
Shortly after Brooklyn learned of his brothers' snub, Romeo reposted Justin Bieber's new song Walking Away on his Instagram stories with the caption: 'Yup.'

'It has been very difficult for David and Victoria to watch their sons grow apart as family means everything to them.'

The Spanish party town with 87p shots that's ‘better than Benidorm' & BEGGING Brits to return after anti-tourist demos

Kim, 21, falls foul of the snap, and tells me: 'It's like being a kid again, but with an extra hit. 'We love it here — fun and alcohol, what more could you want?' So far, so typical of a Spanish holiday for British youngsters, many on their first sunshine break without mum and dad cramping their style. But while this bar is bursting, the same cannot be said for other venues in the Spanish resort town of With 100-plus bars and clubs, it was once branded the country's 'party capital' but now many of the venues sit partially empty or closed — an unwelcome result of the nationwide As a result, the pub owners and party organisers here are pleading with high-spending Brits to return. Currently, the town is besieged by Dutch and German tours of under age teens, who barely spend any money and demand that prices stay low or they won't come.

Restaurant Pinocchio owner Claudio La Face, 37, explained: 'Unlicensed holiday flats are a problem because people are concerned about renting to locals as if there is a problem, such as not paying rent, there is little they can do. "On top of that, many prefer to rent to tourists because they can make a lot of money, despite the risk of big fines.'

'It has affected our numbers here, especially this year,' he said. 'But we need tourists in Lloret, we love them. Most of Spain needs tourists too, so protesting against them doesn't help anyone. "Tourists should come to Lloret for the good weather, the beautiful beaches, and amazing food options. Plus there are lots of cultural ­places around here to visit, such as One of the biggest draws to the town is its party district, home to one of the world's best clubs, Tropics. The main strip, Avenue Just Marles Vilarrodona, is full of venues that can hold thousands of revellers, and the winding side streets boast a seemingly unending array of cocktail bars offering outrageous drinking games. Don't Let The Duck Out sees players put on a swim cap and snorkelling goggles to try to grab a bottle of alcohol from a large water bowl. Essentially it's boozy apple bobbing. British teens Lucy and Gemma, both 18, are loving the nightlife in Lloret. Lucy said: 'My sister recommended it, and it's crazy here. We have no regrets booking it. It's fun.' Other Brits out on the lash include Dan Clark and Ollie Bott, both 20, from Stoke, who booked the resort after spotting it on the Jet2 website. For a random find, we've got no regrets. We're on night one, and it's already shaping up to be better than Zante. A lot of bars are giving us drinks for half price because we're British, which is cool Ollie Bott They've flown out with six mates, who they have managed to lose by the time they bump into The Sun.

Some are being shepherded by tour operators. 'A little rowdy' Back on the main street are Disco Londoner and Touch Down Sports bar, both owned by Marcus Faraji. He told The Sun: 'Ninety per cent of the industry here is based around tourism, even if it's not directly. 'More needs to be done to educate locals that their livelihoods and comforts come from tourists being welcome here. This is getting lost because many people are so worried about the housing issues. 'The drinking tourism we get upsets some, and they complain that people don't come here to visit cultural places, but the truth is we don't have the infrastructure for that. "Many of the tourists that come here are in groups organised by tour operators, who take up bulk bookings at hotels. English people are my favourite tourists because they spend so much. They can be a bit difficult, like fighting each other, but they come with a budget to spend and will spend it all Igor Peyman 'It means we have to keep drinks cheap, because if we raise our ­prices they threaten to not come. 'But some of the people they bring are as young as 16, so we won't serve them anyway, and they don't have a lot of money to spend, which harms the economy. 'English people don't travel in the same way. We would like more of them because they spend a huge amount on both ­restaurants and on alcohol.' Bars caught serving booze to someone under age risk a fine of £2,600 for each case — and the drinker can be handed a £850 fine. Local businessman Igor Peyman, 54, is also keen to see more British holidaymakers pitch up in Lloret. He said: 'English people are my favourite tourists because they spend so much. 'They can be a bit difficult, like fighting each other, but they come with a budget to spend and will spend it all. There is so much for people to enjoy here so we hope they aren't put off by the protests in other parts of Spain.' 'Spanish Blackpool' But not everyone is a fan of ­Lloret.

Overtourism is where a destination experiences a volume of tourists that exceeds its manageable capacity. The term is often used to describe the negative consequences of mass tourism, which includes overcrowding and environmental issues. As a result, popular destinations have become less enjoyable for both visitors and locals. Local communities, in particular, bear the brunt, facing rising costs and a depletion of resources. In response, national and local governments have started to implement measures to reduce overtourism. These include: Safeguarding historical and heritage sites Promoting off-peak travel Tourism caps and regulations Promoting lesser-known destinations

Helen Flanagan's painful black eye after splashing out on €450 beauty treatment

Helen Flanagan has been left bruised around her eye after undergoing a pricey beauty treatment. The former Coronation Street actress, 34, showed her followers her black eye online as she went makeup free for her latest selfie, with her son Charlie taking quick "danger nap" in the background. The TV fave posted the snap on Instagram on Friday and penned: "Going around like this. Be worth it when I look 24. Charlie danger napping." It is reported that Helen had a round of €450 skin injections, called Polynucleotides, which caused the damage. The treatment is aimed at rejuvenating the skin and face with no added volume. She then praised her go-to practitioner: "I only go to @drnataliehowarth for my face as I trust her a million percent." In other news, I'm A Celeb star Helen revealed before her All Stars stint, she endured some gruelling preparation for the ITV show - including hiring a phobia coach to help her get Bushtucker Trial ready. Helen Flanagan at the 2023 Fashion Awards (Image: Getty Images) Talking exclusively to Daily Star at the WhichBingo Awards, Helen said: "For All Stars, I properly trained for that and paid a phobia coach. He would get me involved with all the snakes and all these bugs. I remember being in this bath and this guy chucked cockroaches on me until I stopped screaming. "It was at this farm, there were tarantulas and snakes, it was really good for your mind. I paid the guy to do loads of phobias with me, heights and all sorts. "But when I got there, it was the producers choosing who did the trials, so I only got picked to do a few but I had prepped for everything. I had literally done so much beforehand. "I would go to Go Ape all the time for heights, which I'm glad because I did the highest trial in I'm A Celeb history with Myleene Klass and Amir Khan. It's like being an actress, if you don't learn your lines and don't prepare for it, you won't be ready. "You have to get yourself in a different mindset, but it was such a nice feeling to be ready for it."

Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson fuel romance rumors with Titanic moment

Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson have fuelled dating rumors after the two Hollywood stars recreated an iconic Titanic scene at the premiere of their latest movie, Naked Gun. Both actors attended the UCI Luxe East Side Gallery on Thursday for the latest screening on their press tour for the movie. In the upcoming Naked Gun, the crime spoof comedy sees Anderson playing Beth and Neeson in the role of Frank Drebin Jr. Heading down the same path as his father, Detective Frank Drebin Jr. now has to solve a murder case to stop the police department from shutting down. The on-screen chemistry between Anderson, 58, and Neeson, 73, as well as how comfortable they seem around each other off-camera, has led to speculation that they're an item. A pic that the former Baywatch star posted on Instagram of them posing together around a boat further fuelled rumors. As did the video she shared of her and Liam redoing a famous scene from the 1997 beloved romance flick Titanic, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson in Berlin (Image: IMAGO / Avalon) She portrayed Winslet's character Rose, and let her "Jack," aka Neeson, pretend to be her love interest and hold her her waist, just like DiCaprio did in Titanic. "From London to Berlin... this tour has been full of smiles, laughter, and so much love... Thank you to everyone who came out to giggle with us (and watch on the big screen). NYC next!" she wrote in the caption. Additionally, on Tuesday, the pair were quite handsy during their premiere carpet premiere in London. On the red carpet earlier this week, they got chummy with each other as the former Playboy bunny planted a soft kiss on Liam's cheek while they posed for the cameras. Red carpet appearances and cutesy Instagram posts aren't the only things fuelling rumours about the actors' relationship. Neeson jokingly saying that his favorite part of making the movie was filming "the sex scenes" with his co-star also strengthened the gossip. According to The Sun, he and Anderson were provided with an intimacy coordinator on set. "I'd never had one before. But she was in the background. There was no kind of, 'OK! Excuse me!'" Neeson said. Also, Anderson confessed that the intimacy coordinator knew when to walk away, and joked that the coordinator had actually stormed off. She claimed that the coordinator had walked away, throwing up her hands in the air, "'I can't take this! This is too hot for me. I'm going for coffee.'"
