Real reason Brooklyn Beckham renewed vows after tears at first wedding
Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz have renewed their wedding vows just three years after their 2022 bash was said to have been the catalyst for a major rift between David and Victoria Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz have renewed their wedding vows in a lavish ceremony, attended by members of the bride's family. As the Beckham feud hits an all time low, fans were shocked to see that neither David or Victoria, their other three children or extended family were invited to the ceremony. Sources have now revealed that the family were not even told about the vow renewal. Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, have only been married three years. Their last $3million wedding hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons, after a series of revelations about their special day came to light. Nicola was said to have been left in 'tears' by one upsetting moment. In a perceived dig at Victoria second time round, Nicola opted to wear her own mother's wedding dress after u-turning on her decision to wear one of Victoria's designs at her first wedding. Drama was bubbling under even before Nicola and Brooklyns said 'I do' in 2022, when Nicola opted to wear a Valentino Couture gown in an apparent snub to her mother-in-law. Tensions between the couple finally came to a head after Victoria, 51, allegedly 'hijacked' a dance at Brooklyn's 2022 Palm Beach wedding to actress Nicola Peltz, 30. The move went down like a lead balloon in the room sources claimed, seeing as though it was the song the happy couple had planned to dance to together. "Marc Anthony, who is a friend of the Beckhams, offered to perform as a gift at the wedding," a source told People at the time."Before the song began, Marc Anthony asked Brooklyn to come to the stage, and then announced, 'The most beautiful woman in the room tonight, come on up.... Victoria Beckham!'" The source claims that the new bride allegedly "felt that Victoria ruined her wedding, and couldn't understand why." A second insider said the entire room was so shocked that Anthony called Victoria's name over Nicola's that a complete silence followed. "It was such a jaw-dropping moment that it left the whole room in absolute shock — you could hear a pin drop," the second source adds. Guests at the $3million bash went into a deeper tailspin when Victoria insisted on a slow dance with her son. It wasn't appropriate," the source says of the alleged moment, adding that everyone then saw "Nicola run from the room crying." "Nicola felt like Victoria did this on purpose, when she knew it was a pre-planned romantic dance meant for Brooklyn and Nicola. What she couldn't understand was why." Another guest at the wedding had a differing version of events, saying the newly weds had their first official dance earlier in the evening to Elvis Presley's Only Fools Rush In as they had wanted. While Nicola had a separate dance with her father later in the evening. They say Marc Anthony - a close friend of David and Victoria - played a song as Brooklyn danced with his mum and 'everyone had a great time.' As the rumours about a wedding night upset continued to swirl, Nicola spoke out on the rumours herself - and defended the Beckham clan. In an interview with The Sunday Times, Peltz Beckham said: "It's not a feud! I keep seeing everywhere that word, 'feud, feud, feud'. "I don't know why they say feud. I mean, maybe they picked up on something? And now they're labelling it 'feud'?" She added: "No family is perfect!" Nicola also directly addressed the claims that she decided not to wear a dress specifically designed for her by Victoria Peltz Beckham said: "I think it all started because I didn't end up wearing Victoria's wedding dress. "But the real truth is, I really, really wanted to wear it and I thought it was so beautiful that Brooklyn's mom got to make that for me! And I was really excited to wear it! And I didn't end up wearing it." Nicola said Victoria Beckham called her mother and said she couldn't make the dress because her "atelier couldn't make the dress in time".

How Doechii became hip-hop's most daring new star
Doechii, Florida's self-proclaimed 'Swamp Princess', is rewriting the rules of hip-hop. She's already headlined Glastonbury, scooped a Grammy and a BET Award, and become a chart-topping sensation. Her journey from sneaking out of class to practise piano, to dazzling on the world's biggest stages, is a story of grit, vision, and bold authenticity. This past year, Doechii's star has soared. Her viral NPR Tiny Desk performance showcased her rapid-fire flow and all-female band, according to Vogue . She stunned on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, performing an entire number connected to her dancers by braids. But it was her Grammy appearance that truly cemented her as a global star. After her dancers ripped off her custom suit, she prowled the stage in a jockstrap, exuding confidence and power. 'I was born to do this,' she declared. Her mixtape, Alligator Bites Never Heal , won the Grammy for Best Rap Album. 'I wanted to make a record without the pressure.' The hit single Denial is a River resonated for its raw honesty. 'This is a dark time for me, I'm going through a lot,' she raps, before her therapist persona interrupts: 'By 'a lot,' you mean drugs?' Doechii never shies away from tough conversations. At the BET Awards, she addressed protests in Los Angeles against raids on undocumented immigrants. 'Trump is using military forces to stop a protest. We all deserve to live in hope and not in fear,' she told the crowd. She often uses her platform to highlight issues like reproductive rights. 'Keep abortion safe and legal' tank in her 'Nissan Altima' video. Her stylist, Sam Woolf, says, 'We like to put things on display that people like to hide or cover up.' Doechii's style is as fearless as her music. She's rocked everything from a Louis Vuitton shorts-suit at the Met Gala to a yolk-yellow Valentino Couture gown. 'My look says more about where I am in my life than who I am,' she says. Right now, she's drawn to preppy styles. 'It makes me feel confident, sharp, and like myself.' Doechii is already working on her next project. She wants it to be honest, raw, and vulnerable. 'I know it's going to be a similar theme from my last project, but with new lessons,' she says. She's also proud of her old YouTube vlogs, hoping they inspire young artists: 'Anything is possible. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't be here.' Doechii's story is one of courage, creativity, and conviction. She's not just making music; she's making history. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.
