Here's What We Know About Brooklyn Peltz Beckham's Wedding Dance With Mum Victoria

Group chats the world over lit up on Monday night when Brooklyn Peltz Beckham spoke out for the first time about the widely-rumoured feud between himself and his parents David and Victoria Beckham.

In a lengthy statement shared on his Instagram story, Brooklyn defended his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham, and insisted that he had no interests of reconciling with his famous parents, who he accused of “controlling” and “performative” behaviour.

And one part of Brooklyn’s statement that really stood out involved his mum Victoria’s alleged behaviour on his wedding day.

What did Brooklyn Peltz Beckham say about his wedding dance with his mum Victoria Beckham?

Brooklyn’s statement made multiple references to his wedding day, alleging that his parents had been “trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding”.

“My mum cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress,” he wrote.

“Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children. They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated. My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since.

“During the wedding planning, my mum went so far as to call me ‘evil’ because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra, and Nicola’s Nanni at our table, because they both didn’t have their husbands. Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours. The night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was ‘not blood’ and ‘not family’.”

He then went as far as accusing the former Spice Girls star of “hijacking my first dance with my wife”, which he said that he had been planning for weeks, and which would have been to a “romantic love song”.

“In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule [it] was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead,” Brooklyn claimed.

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

HuffPost UK has contacted representatives for both David and Victoria Beckham for comment.

What do we know about the first dance at Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham’s wedding, and whether it involved his mum?

Shortly after Brooklyn and Nicola tied the knot, a write-up of their big day was published in British Vogue.

In the piece, it was claimed that the newlyweds’ first dance at their reception was to a rendition of Elvis Presley’s Can’t Help Falling In Love performed by the South African singer Lloyiso, after which Nicola and her dad danced to Bette Midler’s Wind Beneath My Wings.

At around 11pm, American singer Marc Anthony’s set was reported to have started, opening with a rendition of his hit I Need To Know.

Interestingly, Vogue’s piece also claimed that it was Brooklyn who invited Victoria “on stage for a dance” where they were also joined by his dad, David, and younger sister, Harper, who was 10 at the time.

Similarly, a Daily Mail write-up of the wedding said the couple had their first dance at around 8.10pm – followed by a rendition of Ben E. King’s Stand By Me, which is presumably what Nicola danced to with her father – while Marc Anthony’s set took place much later.

However, in a more recent article published in People magazine last year, an undisclosed “source close to the Peltz family” first alleged that it was Marc Anthony who invited Brooklyn on stage, before surprising him with an appearance from Victoria, who the singer described as “the most beautiful woman in the room tonight”.

The magazine added that Brooklyn was caught off guard by this, as it was a moment he and his new wife had planned to dance together, once again using the term “hijack” to describe Victoria’s alleged behaviour.

Per People’s source, Nicola “felt that Victoria ruined her wedding, and couldn’t understand why”, while a “second source” told the US outlet that the “jaw-dropping” moment “left the whole room in absolute shock” to the point “you could hear a pin drop”.

How did the rumours of a feud between Brooklyn Peltz Beckham and his parents Sir David and Victoria Beckham start?

TMZ first reported in April 2025 that Brooklyn was no longer on speaking terms with his younger brother Romeo Beckham.

At the time, the TMZ alleged that Brooklyn had severed ties with his brother after Romeo began dating Kim Turnbull, with whom the US gossip site claimed Brooklyn had a “romantic connection” of his own “several years” prior.

Initially, all parties remained tight-lipped about the rumours, but Kim eventually spoke out in June, posting a statement on her Instagram story addressing the matter for the first time.

“I will not continue to receive harassment or be embarrassed on the basis of lies, to fit a certain narrative,” she said. “I have never been romantically involved in any capacity at any point with the person in question. Nothing between us has occurred further than a school friendship at age 16.”

Kim added: “I would like to remove myself from the ongoing conversation and set the record straight for the sake of everyone involved.”

Shortly before this, Brooklyn and Nicola had given a joint interviewwith Glamour magazine in which they alluded to the feud rumours while discussing coping with life in the public eye.

“People are always going to talk. What matters is that we’re happy together,” Brooklyn said while his wife agreed: “It’s not always easy. On TikTok there are always random stories popping up about us.

“When I see fake news, my instinct is to shut it down. But it’s not worth it. I just scroll past and move on.”

Meanwhile, last month, Brooklyn and Romeo’s younger brother Cruz appeared to suggest that the family feud had cooled when he reposted an old picture of his brothers and their dad, alongside the caption: “Love you guys.”

However, shortly afterwards, when it was alleged that his parents had unfollowed Brooklyn on social media, he hit back: “My mum and dad would never unfollow their son. Let’s get the facts right. They woke up blocked… as did I.”

A representative for Victoria also told People magazine that it “isn’t true” that she and her famous husband had unfollowed their eldest son on social media.

HuffPost UK contacted Brooklyn’s team for comment at the time but did not receive a response.
