Just when you thought the Beckham-Peltz wedding drama had finally fizzled, Brooklyn Beckham has reignited the family fireworks—this time, with a bombshell Instagram tirade that’s got everyone talking (and cringing).

Brooklyn, now 26 and apparently done with keeping up appearances, claims his mother, Victoria Beckham, turned his wedding day into a public humiliation. According to Brooklyn, the first dance with his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, was supposed to be a romantic, weeks-in-the-making moment. Instead, he says, Victoria “hijacked” the spotlight, swooping in for a mother-son dance that nobody asked for—least of all Brooklyn or Nicola.

It wasn’t just a sweet waltz either. Brooklyn alleges Victoria “danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone,” leaving him “more uncomfortable or humiliated” than ever before. The 500 guests got a show, but not the one on the schedule.

Wedding Dress Drama and Tablegate

But wait, there’s more. Brooklyn didn’t stop at the dance floor. He aired out even more dirty laundry, accusing Victoria of bailing “in the eleventh hour” on making Nicola’s wedding dress—a snub that’s been the subject of tabloid speculation since the couple’s 2022 nuptials.

And then there’s “Tablegate.” Victoria allegedly called her son “evil” for seating the grandmothers at his and Nicola’s table, while relegating the parents to nearby tables. Because nothing says “happy family” like a seating chart spat.

Vow Renewals and Not-So-Subtle Snubs

The Beckhams did attend the original wedding, but when Brooklyn and Nicola renewed their vows in August, Victoria and David were nowhere to be seen. Brooklyn says the do-over was all about “creating new memories” that didn’t involve anxiety, embarrassment, or, presumably, any impromptu dance routines from his mother 

A Family Feud That Seems Far From Over

Brooklyn’s public airing of grievances is just the latest episode in a saga that’s become a spectator sport for the internet. The Beckhams—once the picture of British celebrity perfection—are now serving up reality TV-level drama, one Instagram story at a time. And with Brooklyn’s latest accusations, it’s clear this family feud is far from over. Stay tuned—because if there’s one thing the Beckhams know how to do, it’s keep the tabloids fed.
