1. The Infamous Wedding Dress Snub That Started It All
The initial spark of the alleged "bad blood" between Victoria Beckham and her daughter-in-law, Nicola Peltz, reportedly centers on the bride's choice of wedding gown.Nicola Chose Valentino Over Victoria Beckham Designs
When a fashion designer is the mother-in-law, the expectation is often that the bride will wear a custom creation from her label. However, Nicola Peltz ultimately walked down the aisle in a stunning Valentino haute couture gown, designed by Pierpaolo Piccioli.The narrative that circulated was that Nicola had initially intended to wear a Victoria Beckham design, but the atelier was unable to complete the dress in time. Nicola later clarified that the failure to produce a dress was not a snub but a logistical issue, yet the media narrative of a deliberate slight against the former Spice Girl’s brand had already taken hold, creating immediate tension in the lead-up to the ceremony.
2. Victoria's Alleged 'Hijacked' Wedding Dance
Beyond the dress drama, sources close to the couple later revealed that a moment during the reception further strained relations.The Marc Anthony Performance Incident
At the wedding reception, global music star Marc Anthony performed a special song for the newlyweds. The plan was for Brooklyn and Nicola to share a special dance to a song chosen by them. However, a source claimed that Victoria Beckham 'hijacked' this moment.
The story suggests that Victoria, in an attempt to make a grand gesture, had Marc Anthony dedicate a separate, lengthy song to her and David, overshadowing the couple's moment and reportedly leaving Brooklyn and Nicola "horrified." This alleged move was interpreted by some as Victoria attempting to steal the spotlight on her son's big day, deepening the underlying friction.
3. The Peltz Family's Overwhelming Financial Dominance
The sheer scale and cost of the wedding—an estimated $4 million affair held at the Peltz family's sprawling Palm Beach estate—also played a subtle role in the dynamic between the two families.The Billionaire Backdrop
Nicola's father, Nelson Peltz, is a billionaire financier. The wedding was primarily hosted and paid for by the Peltz family at their $103 million Florida compound. While the Beckhams are immensely wealthy and famous, the Peltz family's financial magnitude is on a different level. This imbalance, where the bride's family was the primary host, subtly shifted the power dynamic, a factor that is believed to have made Victoria feel less in control of the event's proceedings and overall aesthetic.
The fact that the wedding took place in America, on the Peltz property, and was largely funded by them, meant the Beckhams were essentially guests in the Peltz's world, a rare position for the globally recognized power couple.
4. The Post-Wedding Estrangement and The Vow Renewal Snub
The tensions that began at the wedding reportedly intensified in the years following, leading to a significant estrangement between Brooklyn and his parents by mid-2025.David and Victoria Absent from 2025 Vow Renewal
In a shocking development reported in August 2025, Brooklyn and Nicola renewed their wedding vows in an intimate ceremony officiated by Nicola's father, Nelson Peltz. Crucially, David and Victoria Beckham were reportedly absent from this ceremony.This absence, three years after the initial wedding, served as a public confirmation of the deep and ongoing rift. Sources indicated that David and Victoria were "heartbroken" over the situation, suggesting they were snubbed from the event. The ongoing dispute has been described as a year-long estrangement, with the Beckhams reportedly struggling to find a way to reconcile with their eldest son and his wife.
5. The Cutting Off of Family Ties
The severity of the feud is further highlighted by reports that the rift has extended beyond just the main players, affecting other family members.The Bridesmaid Cut-Off
At the 2022 wedding, Victoria Beckham’s niece, Liberty, served as a bridesmaid. However, reports surfaced in late 2025 suggesting that Liberty has also been cut off by Brooklyn and Nicola as a result of the deepening family dispute. This detail underscores how comprehensive the estrangement has become, moving from a mother-in-law/daughter-in-law clash to a wider family separation.
The situation has led to both David and Victoria Beckham reportedly adopting a "tough love" approach while simultaneously seeking reconciliation, demonstrating the complex and painful nature of the family division that all began with a multi-million-dollar wedding in Palm Beach.
