Victoria Beckham ‘mystified’ by claims she ‘ruined’ Brooklyn and Nicola’s wedding

Victoria Beckham is said to be baffled by claims her behaviour at son Brooklyn’s wedding led bride Nicola Peltz to “run from the room crying”.

Victoria Beckham is “mystified” by claims that she “ruined” son Brooklyn’s wedding dance with his bride, Nicola Peltz.

“[The newlyweds] had their first dance and a second, as is evidenced, and then Nicola had the traditional dance with her father,” a source who was at the reception has told the New York Post of the drama.

“Much later in the evening when Marc Anthony performed, lots of people got up to dance, and yes, finally, then Brooklyn and Victoria had a dance, as did David and his daughter, [Harper].

“Everyone is mystified why that would have upset Nicola.”

Brooklyn and Peltz shared the first and second dances at their 2022 Miami wedding to live renditions of Only Fools Rush In and Stand By Me, the Daily Mail reported at the time.

However, a separate insider exclusively told the New York Post that the “brief” dances were only for photos while the actress was still wearing her wedding dress.

It was meant to be a “precursor” to the real dancing that would take place when Beckham family friend Marc Anthony (ex husband of Jennifer Lopez) hit the stage.

As People magazine reported Anthony asked for Brooklyn and Victoria — “the most beautiful woman in the room” — to come forward and share a dance.

The move led Peltz to “run from the room crying”.

The New York Post’s source corroborates People’s account, adding that Peltz, 30, and Brooklyn, 26, had specifically picked Anthony’s love song You Sang to Me for the “romantic” moment.

“This was the special, romantic, big dance,” the insider says, explaining that it was “known, planned and choreographed.”

“This was a six-figure investment in the band. It was a lot of planning and different choreography for the evening to make sure this was going to be their big moment. Everyone in both families knew that, and [Victoria] chose to do this.”

Another source close to the young couple exclusively told us that “everyone in the room witnessed what happened” at the wedding.

“The shock was palpable,” they said. “It was deeply hurtful. Unfortunately, this wasn’t a one-off. It’s a pattern that still happens to this day.”

Rumours of a feud between Victoria, 51, and her daughter-in-law have been swirling since the April 2022 wedding when Peltz wore a Valentino wedding gown instead of one designed by Victoria.

The speculation was reignited after Brooklyn and Peltz were notably absent from David Beckham’s star-studded 50th birthday celebrations.

“David and Victoria always turn up for Brooklyn and Nicola, whether it’s for the launch of his hot sauce brand or her movie premiere. This is just very sad,” a source told the New York Post.

“Brooklyn’s family adores him and will always be there for him. They just can’t deal with this nonsense anymore.”
