Brooklyn Beckham takes ANOTHER dig at family with cruel wedding anniversary jibe after controversy at first ceremony

BROOKLYN Beckham and Nicola Peltz further twist the knife in their bitter feud with his family.

The pair marked the first anniversary of their second secret wedding yesterday – an event which none of the Beckham clan were invited to.

And insiders said Brooklyn, 27, and Nicola, 31, now see this ceremony as the date they will celebrate – after their first wedding became mired in controversy, including claims that his mum Victoria “danced inappropriately” on him.

A source added: “Brooklyn and Nicola’s first wedding in April 2022 is not an occasion they look back on fondly.

“Nicola ended up in tears. It’s not something they want to be reminded of.

“Their second wedding, where they renewed their vows last August with just her family and their friends, does hold so many happy memories however.

“Going forwards, they’ve decided that this is the date they will celebrate publicly together.”

Pointedly, Brooklyn failed to post a gushing anniversary Instagram tribute to American actress Nicola this April.

In all the previous years since they wed, he has shared photographs from their 2022 wedding on his account.

His last post, in April 2025, read: “Happy three year anniversary baby.

“I love you with all my heart.”

Nicola, who has never previously celebrated their official wedding anniversary on social media, yesterday chose to post a tribute to Brooklyn on the day they had their second ceremony.

She shared a photograph of them kissing and said: “Happy anniversary my love.

“You make life so beautiful. thank you for being the most amazing husband I could ever dream of.”

Brooklyn shared his own tribute and added: “Happy anniversary Nicola.

“I can’t tell you how much I love you.

“You are my absolute princess and I promise to always protect you.”

Those close to the couple said Brookyln and Nicola wanted to take back ownership of their big day.

A source added: “Brooklyn and Nicola are thriving now and they’re incredibly happy.

“Their second wedding last year was beautiful and couldn’t have been more perfect.

“For them, this is the moment they want to celebrate.

“It’s why Nicola chose to post about it too. It’s the first time she’s wanted to publicly celebrate her wedding to Brooklyn.

“They don’t think it feels pointed, it’s just honest.”

The Sun revealed last year how Brooklyn’s family, including his parents David and Victoria, were blindsided after he and Nicola held a second, secret ceremony.

Friends said Brookyln’s family had learned about the service, overseen by Nicola’s billionaire father Nelson Peltz, after reading about it on an American news website.

An insider said at the time: “This was the final kick in the teeth for David and Victoria.

“Seeing Nelson having such a pivotal role at the ceremony was heartbreaking for David especially. Not one member of the 30-plus extended family knew about the wedding, or were invited.

“His grandparents are devastated too as Brooklyn has always been so close to them.

“It feels cruel and spiteful. This is no longer a game. It has gone beyond all that.”

Five months after the second ceremony, Brooklyn issued a blistering statement saying he no longer wanted contact with his family.

In the statement, Brooklyn said he and Nicola looked back on their 2022 wedding as an “embarrassment,” adding: “I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life. We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness.”

He also attacked Victoria, writing: “My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song.

“She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.”

Insiders said the Beckham family were left heartbroken by the statement, adding: “They were blindsided.”

Friends of David and Victoria also hit back at Brooklyn’s version of events and said Victoria had been “vilified,” adding: “It is deeply unfair and upsetting.

“There was nothing inappropriate about the dance.”

PHOEBE Bridgers has appeared to take a swipe at Paul Mescal’s new girlfriend, Gracie Abrams, in scathing lyrics from her new album. The singer seemingly revealed her true feelings about Gracie in her upcoming third studio album, Lost Weekend. 4 Phoebe Bridgers has appeared to take a swipe at Gracie Abrams in scathing lyrics from her new albumCredit: Getty   4 Phoebe appeared to reference Gracie’s relationship with her ex, Paul Mescal, in her new track, The Governor’s WaltzCredit: Getty Days before the album’s release on August 14, a review from The Guardian teased lyrics from her track, The Governor’s Waltz, that presumably referenced Gracie, 26. On the track, Phoebe, 31, sings, “She can pretend to be me // Since she took my place in my bed, on that stage.” It’s suspected that the line is a subtle jab at Gracie, who is currently dating Phoebe’s ex-boyfriend, actor Paul, 30. Much of the album is about the death of Phoebe’s father, with whom she had a strained relationship, and the end of her high-profile relationship with Paul, according to the outlet.

Gracie, who has been vocal about being a fan of Phoebe, began her relationship with Paul in 2024. Paul has since publicly shown his support for Gracie, and they were even seen packing on the PDA at the Mad Cool Festival in Spain, where Gracie performed last summer. Fans speculated that Phoebe appearing to call out Gracie in her song was in response to Gracie making a similar move toward the indie folk singer in her 2024 album, The Secret of Us. Gracie is said to have revealed details of Paul’s past relationship with Phoebe in multiple tracks, though she didn’t reference either by name. One example is in her track Normal Thing, in which Gracie sings, “When did you slip through my fingers, did I ever have you? / Was I just a placeholder to fill the hole inside you? / … Nothing left to say ’cause you’re not over her, now, are you?” She also appeared to reference their romance in her song Risk, singing, “Know you had a girl, but it didn’t work out / Know you bought a house, but you had to move out…” 4 Phoebe and Paul dated for around two years before their split in 2022Credit: Getty   4 Gracie’s current romance with Paul began in 2024Credit: Getty The songwriters’ friendship changed drastically after Gracie opened for Phoebe during select dates of her Reunion Tour in October 2021. They were also the co-opening acts on Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in May 2023. However, things shifted as fans repeatedly compared the two artists for their similar styles and visual aesthetics. The tension escalated when Gracie used stage props and bedroom sets in a performance dramatically similar to Phoebe’s signature look. Phoebe first broke into mainstream fame in 2020 with the debut of her second album, Punisher, followed by several Grammy nominations and a viral Saturday Night Live performance. Gracie reached superstardom shortly after, building a cult following with her indie pop sound and expanding her audience while opening for Phoebe and Taylor at their massive arena shows.
