Brooklyn Peltz Beckham has broken his silence on long-standing family tensions, centering much of the discussion on his mother, Victoria Beckham, also known as "Posh Spice" from the Spice Girls. The 26-year-old revealed that his 2022 wedding to Nicola Peltz Beckham was overshadowed by what he called an “inappropriate” intervention from his mother.
“My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song,” Brooklyn said in an Instagram Story on 19 January. He claimed Victoria danced “very inappropriately” on him in front of their 500 guests, leaving him feeling “uncomfortable” and “humiliated.” Nicola reportedly ran from the reception in tears but later returned to celebrate the rest of the evening.
The couple later renewed their vows to “create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment,” a choice noted for its absence of Brooklyn’s parents.
Brooklyn also alleged that his parents controlled media narratives about their family and attempted to undermine his marriage, even going so far as to suggest his wife was “not blood” the night before the wedding. He wrote that distancing himself from his family has alleviated years of anxiety, bringing him peace and relief.
From the family’s side, Victoria has previously described the wedding as “beautiful” and expressed joy at seeing her son happy. Wedding guests, including DJ Stavros Agapiou, confirmed that Brooklyn’s account of the mother-son dance was accurate, though some reports indicated Victoria was simply having fun while a portion of the Peltz side of the family remained quiet.

While the Beckhams have yet to formally respond to Brooklyn’s latest claims, the family feud remains one of the most talked-about celebrity disputes, shedding light on the pressures behind a globally renowned household.
