What REALLY happened at Brooklyn Beckham's wedding to Nicola after explosive claim Posh stole 1st dance & made bride cry

Not so for Nicola Peltz, who believes she was upstaged by another woman — Victoria Beckham, the mother of her husband. 7 Brooklyn Beckham with wife Nicola Peltz Credit: Getty 7 Victoria enters the reception with David after the wedding Credit: Mega 7 Brooklyn and Nicola celebrate their first anniversary in 2023 with David and Victoria 7 Nicola and Brooklyn at their wedding Credit: German Larkin / Vogue In yet another astonishing new twist to the ongoing family saga, friends of the American actress claim she burst into tears on her wedding day after being made to play second fiddle to the Spice Girl. The latest chapter in the story centres on US singer Marc Anthony, who is reported to have sung to Victoria at the reception, rather than the bride, and added insult to injury by calling Posh 'the most beautiful woman in the room'. Friends of the Beckham clan furiously deny the accusations — which come three years after the Vogue-covered event — accusing Nicola of being 'spoiled' and 'having a tantrum'. Only one thing is for certain, then: the divide between the two families has never been wider. Last night a source who has worked with both Brooklyn and the Beckhams said: 'This whole situation is quite unprecedented, and no-one could have foretold things would get this bad, or this toxic — for toxic is what it is. 'While Nicola and Brooklyn's pals claim one thing, David and Victoria's say quite another — so somewhere along the line, someone is obfuscating. 'Or perhaps another more palatable explanation is, as David's hero the late Queen might say, recollections may vary. 'Unquestionably that wedding day — and the six-month build-up — was the tipping point for all that has followed. Mean Girls vibes 'So from Nicola's perspective, it's no wonder she keeps bringing it up — what was meant to be the most special day of her life has been overtaken by events beyond her control. 'Her friends won't let that go and get very defensive of her. Beckhams fear there's no way back with Brooklyn after his latest move in bitter feud 'drove dagger through their hearts' 'For her part, Victoria, as a woman's woman, insists she would never deliberately derail her son's big day. 'It is all very sad, and right now I cannot see things ever being the way they were between Brooklyn and his parents.' The second — and perhaps irreversible — tipping point came earlier this month, in what was a week of celebrations for David's 50th birthday. His eldest son attended none of them. Nor, obviously, did his 30-year-old wife, who the Beckham camp blame for tearing apart their family. Puzzlingly, the two families' versions of events differ wildly. Brooklyn has told pals he texted his dad to meet him for a quiet coffee behind closed doors, but was rebuffed. While Nicola and Brooklyn's pals claim one thing, David and Victoria's say quite another – so somewhere along the line, someone is obfuscating And while he claims the row started over brother Romeo's girlfriend of six months — who previously dated Brooklyn — the Beckhams claim Nicola is the true catalyst. She has been said to give off 'Mean Girls' vibes — a reference to the cult 2004 film — with the implication that she is 'spoilt' and 'entitled', and has dragged Brooklyn away from his family. Nicola, for her part, says she is simply supporting her husband, but is being portrayed 'cruelly'. 'Naturally it's always the woman who gets the blame,' laments one friend Stateside. How deeply unseemly this he-said/she-said battle must be for David, who recently graced the cover of Time magazine for his charitable endeavours. Certainly it is not on brand for the Beckhams, a couple who have steadfastly cemented themselves — the royals notwithstanding — as Britain's most famous family. 7 Singer Marc Anthony and wife Nadia Ferreira at the wedding in April 2022, where he is said to have sung to Victoria instead of the bride Credit: Eroteme 7 A source claimed a room full of guests saw Nicola run off in tears after seeing Victoria awkwardly dancing with Brooklyn Credit: German Larkin / Vogue In fact that is something they have done so well — thanks to endless endorsement deals, Becks's Inter Miami franchise, his 'n' hers Netflix documentary deals and Victoria's beauty business (which is now turning over a healthy profit) — that they are in the latest Sunday Times Rich List with a combined fortune of £500million. And I wouldn't bet against them being billionaires by the time the former England midfielder is 55. (Although it might pain them to note, this is still less than half of Nicola's tycoon dad Nelson's estimated personal fortune). 'Brand', though, is a negative term for Nicola and Brooklyn. Her camp has briefed US periodicals suggesting that Posh 'n' Becks are more concerned with keeping up appearances — and maintaining the family brand — than making things up with their boy. They have labelled the Beckhams' attempts to reach out to Brooklyn — posting Instagram stories tagging him — as 'performative'. Showbiz website TMZ quoted 'sources familiar with the situation' as saying the young couple 'have made themselves available for months and months to discuss all of the ongoing drama', but that David and Victoria refuse to talk with Nicola around 'because she always talks back to them and stands up for Brooklyn'. The Transformers actress believes she has always supported the Beckhams by attending Victoria's fashion shows and promoting her products on social media — but doesn't get the same treatment in return. 7 Brooklyn and Nicola, seen in silhouette having their first kiss as a married couple Credit: Mega For instance, the website claims, Nicola asked Victoria to promote her dog rescue centre, Yogi's House, during the LA wildfires in January, but Victoria apparently blamed her social media co-ordinator, saying: 'She's not posting content right now.' Yet pals of the Beckhams would likely argue that only last February Victoria flew to LA to support Nicola on the red carpet of her movie, Lola — even dressing her in a bespoke VB outfit. Of course, that £1,190 co-ord outfit came back to haunt Nicola last month when Victoria appeared to goad her daughter-in-law, wearing the exact same thing — sparking a 'who wore it better' debate on social media. So what is the truth? Well, performative or not, all four protagonists still follow one another on Instagram. But hey, that's showbiz! And now the wedding has been wheeled out again, with those reports alleging Nicola cried on her wedding day. The source told People magazine: 'Marc Anthony, who is a friend of the Beckhams, offered to perform as a gift at the wedding. 'Before the song began, Marc asked Brooklyn to come to the stage, and then announced, 'The most beautiful woman in the room tonight, come on up . . . Victoria Beckham!'' It was such a jaw-dropping moment that it left the whole room in absolute shock. You could hear a pin drop Source A second source said the entire room went silent after Victoria's name was called instead of the bride's, and added: 'It was such a jaw-dropping moment that it left the whole room in absolute shock. You could hear a pin drop.' After seeing Victoria awkwardly dancing with his mother, Nicola is said to have burst into tears. Nonsense, sigh Victoria's pals. They claim the couple danced to Elvis after marrying — long before Victoria danced with Brooklyn. One says: 'At the reception there were the traditional speeches, then the happy couple had their first dance. In fact they had two dances. 'After this, Nicola had a dance with her father Nelson, again entirely traditional for the bride to dance with Dad, and at this point normally the groom would dance with his mum. "For whatever reason, that didn't happen. Much later, as a gift to the couple, Marc Anthony performed a few songs. 'Everyone got up to dance and as part of this he pulled his best friends David and Victoria up on stage, and then grabbed Brooklyn to dance with his mum, and Harper danced with David. 'Cruz also got up with Eva Longoria — it was a fun family moment and one dance. No-one realised in the moment that Nicola was upset.' Whatever the truth — and tellingly the Beckhams didn't wish Nicola and Brooklyn a happy anniversary last month, either privately or publicly — the quartet won't be playing happy families any time soon.

Lexus LM350h vs Li Auto Mega: are MPVs making a comeback?
Big Reads There might be an MPV revival underway. Spearheading the renaissance are these: the Lexus LM350h and Li Auto Mega Skip 1 photos in the image carousel and continue reading Incarnate zeitgeist is all the rage until it isn't, and everyone shifts the schtick to something else. It happens relatively quickly, and sometimes... not for the better. Take the MPV. The genuine multipurpose vehicle, the minivan shape, has fallen foul of fashion. The exact rules of these transitions can be hard to follow, gently dictated by car companies and buyer insecurity, but the MPV satisfies a need. Just because the shape has been usurped by the faux by four, it doesn't mean that need has ceased to exist. People still need to move larger groups in comfort in car form. Of course you can do that in an SUV, but a boxy MPV will always win the space and comfort war – and when extreme utility speaks, it's convincing. Advertisement - Page continues below We're not talking about converted live axle vans here, either. Putting windows and leather into a commercial platform always ends up feeling like exactly that: a commercial platform with a thin veneer of bougie tinsel slathered on top. But in east Asia the MPV hasn't fallen out of favour, it's kept evolving. And now it has some really compelling cars. Photography: Mark Riccioni You might like Take the Li Auto Mega as an example. Li Auto is a Chinese company more accustomed to providing plug-in hybrid SUVs, but has birthed the Mega as a first try at a full electric vehicle, 'urban' transport for seven apparently, with a generous 350+mile range. It charges faster than the UK network can provide, capable of 'hyper charging' at 520kW, and looks like real life sci-fi. But the practical application is more prosaic – it'll take seven people and luggage, and do so with a level of comfort you only see in cars costing four times the price. First, the looks. It's designed by Benjamin Baum, the fella responsible for the 992 generation Porsche 911, and it stops traffic. Love it or loathe it, you can't ignore its 5.35m presence. It incorporates the Li Auto fancy light bars front and back, leans heavily into the efficiency aesthetic. In fact, to keep the Porsche theme going, it's more aerodynamically efficient than Porsche's own Taycan EV, a blunt nose and chopped Kamm tail punching through and releasing the airflow respectively. But more than that, it's actually very coherent and stylish even if it is a essentially a big box. And it doesn't look like another SUV with an electric drivetrain stuffed in. Advertisement - Page continues below As for the practical bits, dual electric side doors, a big square hatch at the back. The seating arrangement is 2+2+3, with airline style captain's chairs in the middle and a kid friendly bench in the rear. Legroom is enormous, all the seats move, all are heated, with the front four also being cooled. There are massage seats for the front four, a drop down ceiling mounted gesture controlled OLED monitor, a warmed/cooled drawer for snacks, wireless charging all round and more storage than you think you need. Even the back row folds and rolls electrically to give a van sized boot if you need it. You can convert the back into a double bed, electrically obviously, and there are various modes that make the most of the space. Nap mode being a favourite: the car leans back the front seat, sets a timer and then plays birdsong until it's time to wake up, and you slowly rise – literally – from your slumber.

Get all the latest news, reviews and exclusives, direct to your inbox. But it's not just about the space – the twin 15.7in front seat displays are cutting edge, instantaneous in operation and painfully clear. They make some European manufacturers' operating systems look like an 8-bit Game Boy, and the iPhone-like tiny touchscreen on the top of the steering wheel is a nice touch. There's MindGPT (an offshoot of ChatGPT) baked in, and the car will react to gestures. Point at a window and say 'Open that' and the car will do so, recognising the finger. Yet that's not even the thing that you notice most when out in the car. This is in no way a driver's car, but it accelerates outside the usual superlatives, gently choking out expectation with a smooth, frictionless feeling whoosh. It'll hit 62mph in 5.5 seconds. And yet, even with this much mass and slab and length, it doesn't feel out of hand or hard to control. In fact, it just makes it nippy. Want to merge smoothly with traffic on an A-road or pull out onto a busy roundabout? The Mega's throttle control, instant acceleration and general AWD grip mean you don't have to worry about getting that length slotted into the right place. There are modes which change the suspension and throttle aggression, but they are so fine in their nuance, it's only the hardest and softest settings you can really distinguish. Still, that ride and isolation. It's more like piloting a hovercraft than a car. It's big and heavy, but the way the 'Magic Carpet Air Suspension 3' (to give it its full name) divorces you and your passengers from the outside world will have you doubting the need for road repairs. Which means that the lardy handling really doesn't matter so much. Given the Mega's focus on passengers, it's better to cruise and watch everyone fall asleep. These cars are slightly odd in the UK, and that makes them infinitely interesting So yes, it's awesome and a bit weird and not very European and not available here anyway for the forseeable future, so it doesn't really matter. But what do we get in the UK? Well, Lexus has recently killed the LS luxury saloon and brought in a more luxurious minivan, the Lexus LM350h. Actually, to call it a minivan is to do it a disservice. The LM is based on the TNGA-K car platform, and closely related to the Toyota Alphard, which has been doing sterling service in Asia since the world was born. It can come with front wheel drive or all wheel drive, in seven or four seat configurations, all with a 2.5-litre, four cylinder Miller cycle petrol engine with a CVT box and hybrid assistance. And it's MPVtastic. The spec you see in the pictures is the full on limo Takumi grade. Four seats, the two in the back being of the airline variety, with all the same gear as the Mega – wireless charging, massage, heat/cool, just lie flat and think of Japan. It's got a 48in TV monitor in the divider between driver and passengers, with a powered slide up electrochromic screen to give you privacy. It feels much more like a limo than the Mega in terms of setup, less so when it comes to ride. Yes, it has adaptive damping and yes, it's more precise than the Chinese car, but the CVT is noisy and the cushioning has sharper edges. But it is better quality than the Mega in terms of fit and finish, even though the outside is much less radical and more Alphard with a mask on. The biggest fly in the Lexus ointment? It starts at £90k and runs to £113k for the four seater you see here. That's a lot of money for a family car, and probably lends itself more to the VIP transport side of things. So where do we stand? Well, these cars are slightly odd in the UK, and that makes them infinitely interesting. Old money might still prefer its luxury cars saloon shaped, but there's a lot to be said for embracing a vehicle that's very, very good at a specific purpose. And the Li Auto Mega, and other Chinese luxe MPVs from the likes of Zeekr and Denza, are exceptional at family style luxury. Embrace the niche, weird electric MPVs for the win. 24 minutes 46 seconds

Paedophile pretended to be teenager on TikTok to groom 10-year-old girl
Paedophile pretended to be teenager on TikTok to groom 10-year-old girl The 34-year-old bakery worker told the child she was pretty and sent her a picture of his genitals Thomas Winterson (Image: Gwent Police ) A paedophile groomed a 10-year-old girl he met on TikTok before sending her a picture of his penis, a court has heard. An investigation into that matter led police to finding Thomas Winterson had hundreds of videos of child sexual abuse which he had shared with a like-minded individual, and had visited Russian websites known for hosting indecent images. Newport Crown Court heard the 34-year-old defendant has a previous conviction for possessing indecent images for which he was given a community order. The bakery worker's barrister told the court Winterson had voluntarily sought help from a charity which works with sex offenders and was motivated to change. The court heard that Winterson's behaviour came to light after he contacted a 10-year-old girl in the north of England on the video-sharing app TikTok. Pretending to be a 15-year-old boy, the defendant told the child she was pretty and asked if they could chat on Snapchat, offering her money for the popular online game platform Roblox. The court heard that once on Snapchat Winterson asked the girl for pictures - the girl sent him some photos of herself and he responded by sending her pictures of his erect penis. The girl called Winterson a "paedophile" and told her mother who in turn reported the matter to police. The court heard that the defendant was identified via the phone number linked to his TikTok account and officers subsequently attended at his house to arrest him and seize his electronic devices. For the latest court reports sign up to our crime newsletter An examination of Winterson's phone and his online Mega storage account uncovered more than 800 indecent images - the vast majority being videos - including 220 classified as Category A which show the most extreme forms of sexual abuse and rape. The children in the images were aged from around 12 months up to teenagers, and most of the images were in a hidden folder on the iPhone. An image involving "intercourse with a sheep" was also found. Article continues below The court heard the examination of the phone also revealed Winterson had been chatting to someone who went by the name "Evil Mouse" and that the defendant had sent the contact a link to his Mega storage account and had discussed "trading" images. The examination of the defendant's iPhone additionally revealed he had been visiting a Russian website known for hosting child sexual abuse images. Read about a sex offender who carried out detailed surveillance of local children including mapping their movements to and from school Thomas Winterson, of Rhymney Close, Ebbw Vale, had previously pleaded guilty to causing a child to see a sexual act, three counts of possessing indecent images of Categories A, B, and C, three counts of distributing indecent images of Categories A, B, and C and to possessing extreme pornography when he appeared in the dock for sentencing. He has two previous convictions four three offences including possessing indecent images from 2018 for which he was sentenced to a community order and made the subject of a sexual harm prevention order. Meabh McGee, for Winterson, said the defendant had told her that at the time of the offending he was "in a very low place" after someone to knew had shared details of his previous offending. She said the defendant had voluntarily sought help from the Lucy Faithful foundation and now had a range of "tools" he can use in his life including limiting the amount of time he spends online and engaging with mental health groups. She said her client has a job in a bakery and has stable accommodation and that he hopes to re-establish contact with his son but realises "he has a lot of work to do before that can happen" Article continues below Judge Eugene Egan said Winterson had groomed a child he had met on TikTok before sending her a picture of his erect penis, something which had caused "huge upset". He said an investigation into that matter led police to finding indecent images, and he told the defendant the babies and children in the images he had were real children being sexually abused. With one-third discounts for his guilty pleas Winterson was sentenced to 29 months in prison comprising 26 months for the distribution offences and eight months for the possession offences to run concurrently, and three months for the offending involving the 10-year-old girl to run consecutively with the 26 months. The defendant will be a registered sex offender for 10 years, and was made the subject of a sexual harm prevention order for the same length of time.

Ahtisa Manalo gives off queenly vibes on Mega magazine's June cover
Ahtisa Manalo is a total queen on the June cover of Mega magazine. On Instagram, the fashion magazine shared the cover of their Trendsetters And Trailblazers issue where they honor the personalities "who define what's next and dare to do what hasn't been done." In the cover photo taken by photographer Mark Ducay, the Miss Universe Philippines 2025 donned a pink sculptural gown by Jaggy Glarino and jewelry pieces from Jewelmer. 'She fell—but she rose poised like royalty,' Mega wrote in the caption. 'Midway through her evening gown walk at Miss Universe Philippines 2025, Ahtisa Manalo hit the floor with just one instinct: get up. And when she did, the cheers shook the room. What could've broken her became the very moment she claimed the crown. A queen was born,' the magazine added. According to Mega, the cover story will follow the rise, fall, and reign of Ahtisa. After three attempts, the beauty queen from Quezon Province was finally crowned Miss Universe Philippines 2025 early this May. She will represent the Philippines in Miss Universe 2025, which will take place on November 21 at the Impact Muong Thong Thani Arena in Bangkok, Thailand. —Jade Veronique Yap/CDC, GMA Integrated News
