Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz dramatically pull out of Met Gala amid couple’s 50th birthday snub to David
BROOKLYN Beckham and Nicola Peltz have pulled out of tonight’s Met Gala following the fallout with his family.
The Sun understands they cancelled their plans to attend at the weekend, as they planned to stay in London to attend David‘s star-studded 50th birthday party.
However, they later felt too uncomfortable to attend the bash, which stars including Tom Cruise and Guy Ritchie were at.
A source explained: “They cancelled plans to attend the Met because they really intended to be at David’s party on Saturday.
“But Brooklyn is really upset that blame for the rift has been levelled at Nicola.
“She has never told him what to do and has been nothing but supportive — she’s a loyal wife.”
It comes after US gossip website TMZ claimed Brooklyn told his dad David he would be at his 50th birthday dinner on the condition that his ex-girlfriend Kim Turnbull, who is now dating his brother Romeo, didn’t go.
But the family said no, which meant he decided not to attend, friends of the celebrity chef have claimed.
Brooklyn, 26, skipped all three of the former England captain’s celebrations, with a friend revealing that he was told he had to come to one of the formal birthday events or he wouldn’t see his dad.
Pals insist he DID text dad David to wish him a happy birthday and tried to organise a private meet-up but was rebuffed.
The intimate evening last Wednesday at the family’s £10million Cotswolds mansion was instead attended by close family members including Brooklyn’s mum Victoria, 51, his brother Romeo, 22, as well as his youngest brother Cruz, 20, and girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 29.
A source close to the eldest Beckham child said: “Brooklyn flew to London with the sole intention of seeing his family and celebrating his dad’s birthday.
“He suggested going for breakfast or a coffee but was told the only chance to see the family would be at one of their lavish parties which Kim would be at – so he refused.
“As far as he sees it, his parents have chosen Romeo and his new girlfriend over him.”
A source close to the Beckhams insisted the fall out had nothing to do with the siblings and that Kim, 24, had actually not attended the dinner last Wednesday either, as she had work commitments.
The source said: “This feels very performative.
“Brooklyn sent a text message but it felt like box-ticking, knowing they would be asked about it.”
Brooklyn had a short romance with Kim in 2016, long before meeting his wife Nicola Peltz, 30.
But he is said to have questioned her “motives” for now dating his brother.
Romeo has made his feelings towards his girlfriend clear, sharing a photo of them together on Instagram on Sunday evening with the caption: “My,” followed by world and infinity emojis.
Last night a spokesperson for Brooklyn and Nicola was unavailable for comment.
