Victoria Beckham's Comments about Her Daughter-in-Law Nicola Resurface amid Brooklyn Beckham's Statement on Family Feud

Aside from the fashion designer's past comments resurfacing, a particular part in Vogue's article on Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Peltz Beckham's wedding appears to contradict the statement Brooklyn made about his special day.

Amid the continued rift and estrangement between Brooklyn Peltz Beckham and his family, especially his parents, Victoria and David Beckham, a new chapter has unfolded. In a lengthy, multiple-post statement, Brooklyn has worn his heart on his sleeve, revealing unheard and surprising details about the family feud that shed a less-than-shining light on his relatives…

However, according to a recent report, David and Victoria's perspective on the matter is entirely different, with claims that the couple have made multiple efforts to reconnect with both their son and daughter-in-law, Nicola Peltz.

Brooklyn Breaks His Silence

In his recent Instagram Story posts, Brooklyn broke years of silence surrounding what he described as a deeply painful and long-running family fall-out.

Framing his message as a last resort rather than a public spectacle, Brooklyn said he had spent years trying to keep family matters private, but felt forced to speak out after what he claimed were repeated misrepresentations shared with the press.

According to him, the decision to go public is not rooted in revenge, but in a desire to finally reclaim his own voice after feeling controlled for most of his life.

At the center of Brooklyn's statement is his unwavering defense of his wife, Nicola, whom he said has endured consistent mistreatment since the earliest days of their relationship. He alleged that resistance from his family began even before their wedding, claiming that attempts were made to interfere with their plans and decisions as a couple.

Among the most serious accusations is his claim that his mother canceled making Nicola's wedding dress close to the ceremony, forcing her to urgently find a replacement despite her excitement for the original gown.

Brooklyn further alleged that, weeks before the wedding, his parents pressured him to sign away certain rights connected to his name, a decision he said would have affected not only himself, but also Nicola and their future children.

According to Brooklyn, when he refused to comply before the wedding date, the financial consequences were immediate and long-lasting, marking a turning point in how he felt he was treated by his family. The most emotional portion of his statement focused on the days surrounding the wedding itself.

During the planning stages, the young model revealed how his mother dubbed him "evil" due to his and Nicola's decision to seat certain loved ones at their table because neither had their husbands. Additionally, both the couple's parents had their own tables equally adjacent to the bride and groom.

Brooklyn also claimed that tensions escalated the night before the ceremony, sharing a moment that, according to him, fundamentally altered his relationship with his relatives. As he wrote:

"The night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was 'not blood' and 'not family'."

Hijacked Dance Floor and Emotional Devastation

He said that from that moment on, he felt his parents were relentlessly working to undermine both him and his marriage, privately and publicly. Brooklyn also addressed what he described as one of the most painful moments of his life: the reception on his wedding day.

According to his account, a romantic dance planned for him and Nicola never happened. Instead, he claimed that his mother unexpectedly took the stage and danced with him in front of their guests, leaving Nicola sidelined during what was meant to be an intimate moment between newlyweds.

Brooklyn further divulged that the incident left him feeling humiliated and emotionally shaken, adding that it transformed what should have been a joyful memory into one filled with anxiety and embarrassment. "She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone," he revealed.

Beyond the wedding, Brooklyn painted a picture of continued emotional distance and rejection. He stated that his wife was repeatedly made uncomfortable through the involvement of people from his past, despite his objections.

He also recounted traveling with Nicola to London in hopes of spending time with his father during a birthday celebration, only to be ignored until conditions were imposed, including Nicola not being invited. According to Brooklyn, the meeting never took place, and subsequent attempts to reconnect were met with silence.

In closing, Brooklyn rejected claims that Nicola has controlled or influenced his decisions, calling that narrative "backwards." He described stepping away from his family as a necessary act of self-preservation, saying it was the first time in his life he felt free from overwhelming anxiety.

Emphasizing that their priority is peace, privacy, and happiness, Brooklyn made it clear that, for him, this chapter is not about image or public approval, but about protecting the family he has chosen to build.

A Contradiction? Victoria Once Gushed over Nicola

While Brooklyn's recent allegations paint a deeply fractured family dynamic, a resurfaced interview from 2020 offers a starkly different tone, one that has left many questioning the full scope of what truly happened behind the scenes.

In a sit-down on "Lorraine," just after Brooklyn and Nicola announced their engagement, Victoria spoke with glowing warmth about her then soon-to-be daughter-in-law. Reflecting on how surreal it felt to be preparing for her son's wedding, Victoria shared a tender perspective that is at odds with Brooklyn's recent accusations.

With a smile, she recalled how the public still pictured Brooklyn as the young boy on the football pitch with David, but that then, at 21, he had become a man in love, and one who had found happiness.

Victoria's praise for Nicola was effusive and heartfelt. "She's sweet, she's kind, she's such a lovely, warm, wonderful, wonderful woman," the fashion icon gushed. She then emphasized just how delighted the family was with Brooklyn's choice:

"We couldn't have asked for Brooklyn to meet a more adorable, lovely lady. We are very happy. We love her. He's so happy."

Her sentiment carried the weight of sincerity, a moment that, at the time, offered reassurance to fans that the Beckham household had fully embraced Nicola. Victoria even referred to her as Brooklyn's destined partner, boldly declaring, "Brooklyn has found his soulmate."

The resurfacing of these comments in light of Brooklyn's more recent claims has reignited public interest — and confusion — surrounding what might have gone wrong in the time between then and now.

It may be difficult to reconcile the image of a proud mother-in-law joyfully planning for her son's big day with the hurt and distance now so publicly laid bare.

And yet, this contrast is what makes the current situation all the more complex. Because if Victoria once so openly adored Nicola, what changed? Or did things behind closed doors never fully match the polished public image presented at the time?

Vogue's Lavish Wedding Coverage Disputes Brooklyn's Story

As attention surrounding Brooklyn's statement continues to grow, so do questions about the accuracy of some of his claims, particularly those regarding his wedding day. In his posts, Brooklyn alleged that his mother hijacked what was meant to be a private, romantic first dance with Nicola, turning a planned intimate moment into one that left him feeling humiliated.

However, a feature published by Vogue in 2022 paints a very different picture. The article describes a dreamy black-tie celebration filled with lush floral arrangements, a live jazz quartet, and a 12-piece band.

According to the report, after an elegant dinner, the newlyweds had their first dance to "Only Fools Rush In," performed by South African artist Lloyiso, a moment that, by all indications, unfolded as planned.

The night continued with speeches from Brooklyn's brothers, Romeo and Cruz Beckham, and a heartfelt tribute by David, before guests — including A-list friends like Gordon Ramsay, Marc Anthony, and Kiernan Shipka — joined the couple on the dance floor.

While both accounts speak to the same event, the emotional tone and key details vary sharply, leaving readers to reconcile two very different versions of what was, by all outward appearances, a joyful and carefully orchestrated affair.

David and Victoria Have Tried to Reconnect

Still, despite the emotional weight of Brooklyn's claims and the contradictions now emerging, the story doesn't end there. In fact, his public statement comes just as a new report states that Victoria Beckham and David Beckham have been trying repeatedly to rebuild the broken ties with both their son and daughter-in-law.

According to People magazine, David and Victoria have reportedly tried to open communication with Brooklyn and Nicola on several occasions.

"David and Victoria have repeatedly asked Brooklyn and Nicola to meet and talk in order to move forward," a source familiar with the situation told the publication.

Tension between the two couples is believed to have started around the time of Brooklyn and Nicola's wedding in 2022. While the specific cause has not been confirmed, the aftermath appears to have created lasting distance within the family.

Amid the ongoing tensions, the retired athlete is deeply committed to his role as a father to Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper Beckham. A source said his children are central to his life.

That same commitment was reflected in November 2025, when David was knighted by King Charles III for his contributions to sport and charity.

Brooklyn and Nicola were invited to both the official ceremony and the private celebration that followed. According to sources, the invitation was in keeping with the family's ongoing efforts to include them in significant moments.

Neither David and Victoria's representatives nor Brooklyn's team reportedly responded to requests for comment.

How Contact Changed

Further reporting by The Sun revealed more details about the communication breakdown, including a source's claim that much of the public does not know the full story.

"Truly, people do not know the full facts of this heart-breaking tale, and think Brooklyn was just being truculent when he blocked his parents," the source said.

According to the source, Brooklyn sent a letter in late summer 2025, requesting that all correspondence go through lawyers as he "wanted to try and make amends privately not [sic] publicly."

The same source explained that Brooklyn became increasingly frustrated after sending the letter, as he believed his parents continued to refer to him publicly rather than respecting his request for private communication.

With no direct line of contact remaining, David and Victoria were reportedly left without a way to respond, which, according to the source, caused emotional strain.

"They of course feel utterly bemused and devastated by this latest turn of events. There is no malice from their part, only concern," the source said. "But it is clear, if there is going to be any reconciliation, it will be away from prying eyes and must be done privately [sic]."
