June 25, 2025: Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz are wearing their hearts on their sleeves—again. The couple marked five years since their engagement with gushy social media tributes, reaffirming their love for each other in the most public way possible. However, the internet seems far from impressed.
The 26-year-old aspiring chef and hot sauce enthusiast posted,
“It’s been 5 years since I asked this beautiful woman to marry me xx best decision ever x I love you so much ❤️.”
Meanwhile, Nicola, 30, shared her own message:
“5 years ago we got engaged 🥹🤍 I love living life with you baby – I loveee you so muchhh.”
But while the couple is celebrating their personal milestone, the posts arrive at a time when tensions with the Beckham family remain in full view. The couple’s absence from David Beckham’s 50th birthday and their silence on his recent knighthood honor have only deepened the rift with Brooklyn’s famous parents, David and Victoria Beckham.
Online Backlash
Netizens were quick to turn what was meant to be a sweet celebration into a criticism fest. The comments were brutal:
- “He’s not only yours. Keeping him away from them isn’t fair.”
- “Someone who truly loves you wouldn’t make you choose between them and your family.”
- “So your wife can still see her parents and friends, but you can’t? What kind of man and son are you?”
Background on the Family Drama
The public fallout reportedly began back in 2022, during Brooklyn and Nicola’s wedding. Rumors swirled that Nicola refused to wear a Victoria Beckham-designed gown, and tensions escalated when Victoria allegedly hijacked the couple’s first dance, leaving Nicola in tears. Since then, Brooklyn has stood firmly by Nicola’s side, even as ties with his parents have seemingly fractured.
Despite appearances and previous attempts at reconciliation, the couple’s repeated social affirmations of their bond are increasingly seen by fans as indirect statements on where their loyalties lie.
For now, Brooklyn and Nicola are clearly choosing each other—loudly and proudly, even as the divide with the Beckham family grows deeper.
