Nicola Peltz and Victoria Beckham had issues with each other prior to the wedding drama cited by Brooklyn in his recent social media rant.
“They can’t stand each other and don’t talk,” a source close to the family told Page Six in August 2022, noting that trouble was already “brewing” prior to their April 2022 Florida nuptials.
“The build-up to the wedding was horrendous,” they added.
The source further claimed that Peltz, 31, didn’t want Victoria “to be any part of the planning, and she wouldn’t clue Victoria in on anything. Communication was minimal.”
The insider claimed there had been “non-stop petty drama” that was coming between the aspiring chef, 26, and his parents David, 50, and Victoria Beckham, 51.
At the time, the source claimed the former soccer star and fashion designer hadn’t “spoken to [Brooklyn] for months.”
Adding fuel to the fire, Brooklyn also shared a sultry cover of British magazine Tatler — dubbing his model wife “The New Mrs. Beckham” for their August 2022 issue.
The insiders hinted that perhaps the “Bates Motel” actress experienced jealousy over the former Spice Girl’s various successes, especially as she attempted to emerge from her shadow for her own nuptials.
Reps for Victoria, Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment on Friday.
The Beckham family feud came to a head on Monday, when the aspiring chef took to Instagram Stories with a six-page rant directed at David and Victoria.
Among their offenses, he claimed, were cancelling “making Nicola’s [wedding] dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress,” and controlling “narratives in the press about our family.”
Brooklyn also accused his mother of “hijacking” his first dance with Peltz before dancing “very inappropriately on me in front of everyone.”
He added, “I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.”
A guest at the soirée previously told Page Six that after Marc Anthony, who performed at the wedding, invited “the most beautiful woman in the room” to the stage, Victoria “got up on stage and wrapped her arms around Brooklyn” and “nuzzled into his neck.”
“She was dancing with him very inappropriately,” they told us, adding, “She took that moment from Nicola, that is the God’s truth.”
However, a butler who also attended the nuptials told the Sun on Friday that Nicola — who reportedly was enraged that Victoria was called up as the “most beautiful woman in the room” for the first dance — issued an ultimatum to her new husband.
“After the wedding Nicola was resolute to Brooklyn — you need to choose me or your mother,” the butler claimed. “Nicola is the problem and the reason Brooklyn and his parents don’t talk,” he added.
In any case, Brooklyn appears to be dedicated to supporting his model wife amid the strife.
“I do not want to reconcile with my family,” he wrote in his headline-making statement. “I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.”
