How a Beckham Family Wedding Appearance Became the Latest Flashpoint in Brooklyn’s Ongoing Feud

David and Victoria Beckham made the weekend a family affair — albeit not a complete one — when they joined Gordon Ramsay’s family at Bath Abbey in the U.K. for his daughter Holly’s wedding to Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty on Dec. 27. Ramsay marked the day on Instagram, saying he felt “truly so lucky” to walk his daughter down the aisle and that he “couldn’t be a prouder Dad” as he welcomed Peaty into the family.

They arrived with their younger children Romeo, Cruz and Harper, while Brooklyn Beckham and his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, were not listed among the guests in reports from the day, per People.

The wedding comes after about a year of reports chronicling a rift between Brooklyn and the rest of the family. Earlier this month, Cruz Beckham publicly pushed back on speculation that his parents had quietly unfollowed Brooklyn on Instagram, insisting instead that he, David and Victoria had all “woke up blocked” by their eldest son after fans noticed the sudden change in follow lists.

That clarification followed renewed attention on Victoria Beckham’s social media activity, after her liking one of Brooklyn’s cooking videos reportedly triggered waves of comments urging him to reconnect with his parents. Sources claimed the attention only widened the distance, with reports saying Brooklyn and Nicola had asked for stricter boundaries and less contact from David and Victoria as the situation escalated.

Those moments built on a longer-running timeline of tension that dates back to Brooklyn and Nicola’s 2022 wedding. Coverage has pointed to early flashpoints — including Nicola wearing Valentino instead of a Victoria Beckham design and conflicting accounts around a first-dance moment involving Marc Anthony and Victoria — even as sources close to the family have disputed aspects of that narrative.

By 2025, the reported strain appeared to extend well beyond wedding-day fallout. Brooklyn and Nicola were notably absent from David’s 50th birthday celebrations in London, amid separate reports of tension between Brooklyn and Romeo tied to Romeo’s then-girlfriend Kim Turnbull. Around the same time, reporting also noted that Brooklyn and Nicola had hired high-profile lawyer Jenny Afia and reputation firm Schillings to help manage ongoing media coverage surrounding the family.

Set against that backdrop, the Beckhams showing up together at another major family wedding — without Brooklyn and Nicola — fits into the same pattern readers have been watching all year: milestone moments, closely watched guest lists, and a noticeable absence where the eldest Beckham son and his wife once would have been.
