David and Victoria Beckham’s ‘feud’ with Brooklyn explained as Nicola Peltz’s friend calls out ‘toxic family ties’

The growing 'feud' between Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham with the rest of his family continues to grow, it seems.

The latest in the saga comes in the form of a friend hitting out at the Beckham family after she attended Brooklyn and Nicola's recent vow renewal, where Victoria and David Beckham were noticeably absent as they holidayed in Europe.

According to Page Six, Rebecca Faria lashed out at Brooklyn's loved ones in a lengthy Instagram comment, writing: "I love seeing people who spend years in therapy over toxic family ties coming here and judging someone who actually had the guts to walk away."

“Everyone’s been kissing the Beckhams’ a** forever, and Nicola was the first to stand up for her values since [she] couldn’t care less about their fame or money!” she continued.

“The moment they couldn’t control everything, they lost it and started planting fake press to make her look bad in the public eye," Rebecca alleged. “I’ve known her for years; she’s genuine, humble, and refuses to live in a fake world, so if you don’t know the REAL story, don’t come here talking crap.”

She added that Brooklyn is 'a grown man who can defend himself just fine' - "If he walked away, it's because he knows exactly the environment he grew up in."

So where did it all go wrong?

When Brooklyn met Nicola

Brooklyn and Nicola first met back in 2019, and he got down on one knee after just seven months of dating.

Then 21-year-old Brooklyn wrote: "Two weeks ago I asked my soulmate to marry me and she said yes xx 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.”

Nicola replied: "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."

They married in April of 2022 at Nicola's family's lavish Palm Beach estate in Florida.

Wedding dress clash between Victoria and Nicola

Your wedding day should be the happiest of your life, but it seems the nuptials were where it all started to go downhill with the alleged family feud.

Having made a name for herself in the fashion world, Victoria was reportedly upset over Nicola's choice of wedding dress.

A source told PEOPLE that Victoria told Nicola that she would love to design her wedding dress, with Nicola allegedly saying it would 'be her honour' and that she'd 'love to wear one of her originals'.

But, as time went on, Victoria changed her mind.

The source said: "Nicola was painted as a brat for not wearing Victoria Beckham at the wedding. She'd gone to a ton of Victoria Beckham fashion shows and events in Victoria's clothing. She even wore Victoria Beckham to her Lola movie premiere."

Another source says that this is 'far from the truth', however, and was simply an attempt to 'try and paint Nicola as somehow a victim'.

Nicola ended up wearing Valentino Haute Couture to say her vows.

She then chose to upcycle her mother's wedding dress and wore it for the vow renewal.

First dance fallout

Things got even worse after the vows, with Victoria allegedly 'ruining' the couple's first dance.

Beckham family friend Marc Anthony got onstage to perform for their first dance, according to PEOPLE.

“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!'” an insider said, as Nicola allegedly 'ran from the room crying'.

A source told Page Six: “The shock was palpable. It was deeply hurtful. Unfortunately, this wasn’t a one-off. It’s a pattern that still happens to this day.”

“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 source added.

Brooklyn's sentimental tattoos towards wife Nicola

Fans noticed that Brooklyn has had a new tattoo, featuring words that Nicola wrote to him in a note before their wedding.

It reads: "My forever boy. Read this anytime you feel anxious. I want you to know how deeply loved you are. You have the kindest heart I’ve ever met and hope I never go a day without your love. I think you are so incredible. Just know we can get through it all together if you breathe slow and trust. I love you beyond. Love always, your future wifey.”

Some outlets have alleged that Brooklyn has covered up a 'Mama's Boy' tattoo, but recent photos appear to show a delicate floral design has been worked around the piece, rather than covering it.

Cryptic social media posts

It wouldn't be 2025 without family battles being carried out on social media.

Brooklyn captioned a recent video with: "My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you’re the most amazing person I know.” Nicola reposted the same clip writing: "I’ve always got you baby."

Days later, Brooklyn's brother wrote a caption under a throwback family photo, saying: “I love my family… Mum & Dad, you gave us life and cared for us no matter what.”

Elsewhere, a TikTok resurfaced of Romeo and Cruz mocking a 'baby voice', which many fans thought was a dig at Nicola.

She later posted a story on Instagram saying: "Some things aren’t worth explaining."

David also shared a dedication to Brooklyn on Father's Day, but he didn't respond publicly.

David's 50th birthday

It made headlines when Nicola and Brooklyn failed to attend David's lavish birthday bash.

According to Hello Magazine, the couple were spotted in London days before the event, but did not show.

Insiders told The Mirror that David was 'hurt' by their absence, while PEOPLE claimed Brooklyn and Nicola didn't go because of Romeo's new girlfriend, Kim Turnball.

A source claimed she was previously linked with Brooklyn.

"Brooklyn didn't want to be in the same room as her, and he told his dad that," the source said. "But David opted to have Kim there over Nicola."

"Brooklyn and Kim know each other from the past, and his family knows he's not comfortable around her," added another source, while Cruz later denied on Instagram that Brooklyn and Kim had never dated.

The fact that David and Victoria were missing from the vow renewal is the latest blow in their relationship, and fans are still hoping they will reunite.
