Brooklyn’s ‘olive branch’ to his family: Insiders tell ALISON BOSHOFF the stunning twist in the Beckham family feud – and reveal the hidden meaning behind his birthday message to sister Harper

BBG News

For several weeks, Brooklyn Beckham had decided on a special way to celebrate his sister Harper’s 14th birthday. He expressed his affection towards her in the most heartfelt manner possible.

Of course he would. Nobody who knows him thought he’d do anything else.

At precisely 12:49 PM today, he lastly extended his birthday greetings to his cherished little sister Harper with the message ‘Happy Birthday Harper, we love you’ on his Instagram stories – all while voicing his opinion on a global controversy.

It’s worth noting that the warm greetings were sent by both Brooklyn and his spouse, Nicola Peltz. Interestingly, the selected photo showed the happy couple grinning alongside Harper, emphasizing that this loving pair comes as a set.

A reliable insider shared optimism today that this modest action could potentially initiate a process of mending the strained relationship between them and their parents, David and Victoria, as well as siblings Romeo and Cruz – it’s worth noting, however, that given the events of recent months, such reconciliation may appear rather improbable.

The source said: ‘This is a positive step and we will see what happens now.

Since his sister has no involvement in the issues at hand, it’s unnecessary for him not to extend his well wishes on her birthday. In other words, Harper doesn’t pose any complications.

‘This will show that he does care deeply about his family.

He’s choosing to share something online as he values his individuality, which contrasts with those who might question it. Moreover, he holds a deep affection for his family and desires their reciprocal feelings towards him.

According to the source, ‘Brooklyn and Nicola are wishing for positive change, yet it ultimately depends on the response of their family.’

The divide between them became apparent in my narrative from July 2022, not too long following their wedding in April. I observed that Victoria, aged 51, and Nicola, 30, Brooklyn’s mother and wife respectively, rarely showed approval of each other’s social media content.

Reports indicate that a disagreement occurred between the two brides while organizing and carrying out their wedding ceremony, which took place at the Peltz family’s estate in Florida.

It was mentioned that there were awkward incidents regarding various topics, including safety measures and the wedding gown, which wasn’t created by fashion designer Victoria as Nicola originally intended.

Despite everyone maintaining silence, they had faith that the problems would gradually resolve themselves in the future. After all, it wasn’t the first instance of a disagreement between a mother-in-law and bride on such an emotionally charged occasion as a wedding.

Although Nicola attended Victoria’s fashion shows in Paris on two separate occasions following those years, there has yet to be a genuine reconciliation between them.

Nicola went to Victoria’s fashion shows twice in Paris after that period, but they haven’t fully made up as of yet.

It was clear that a painful separation had occurred this past spring, as Brooklyn, who is 26 years old, failed to attend any of the events marking his father’s 50th birthday celebration earlier in the year.

Initially, he traveled to the United Kingdom with Nicola, seemingly planning to participate in at least one of the numerous events. However, in the end, he missed all the celebrations and subsequently went back to the U.S.

In fact, he failed to extend his congratulations to his father on his significant birthday, and remained quiet once it was announced in June that David would be receiving a knighthood – an honor that has been a cherished dream for the retired soccer player for quite some time.

Currently, individuals close to the Beckhams are expressing that the family is feeling sorrow due to the increasing distance between them and Brooklyn following his marriage to Nicola.

According to someone familiar with the Peltz-Beckhams, the situation is unfortunate as both families are richly blessed. Despite their best efforts, they’ve had disagreements. Notably, Nicola Peltz has donned Victoria Beckham’s designs at various functions on multiple occasions.

It seems that the root cause of the dispute can be traced back to an incident at the wedding held in April 2022. The specific details of the aftermath are a subject of debate, with individuals close to the Beckhams alleging that Nelson Peltz behaved poorly on the day. Known for his business acumen and wealth accumulation through corporate takeovers, Peltz has substantial influence, power, and riches that outshine the Beckham family‘s resources.

However, the core issue stems from Marc Anthony’s performance at the wedding, a dear friend of David’s who has been associated with him for a long time.

Reports indicate that before Anthony’s performance, held on a stage specifically designed for him at the premises, the singer delivered a speech praising Victoria, also known as ‘Posh Spice,’ as the most stunning lady present.

This incited significant distress. It’s universally acknowledged among those who have experienced marriage, that regardless of the situation, the bride is undeniably the most radiant individual present in the venue.

I’m told, simply: ‘It was an insult to the bride.’

The Beckhams’ side also deny that Victoria stole a first dance with the groom from Nicola.

Ever since the wedding, conflicts – both open and hidden – have persisted. According to one source, it seems like they’ve never ceased. There was a great deal of distress at the wedding, an event that left Brooklyn, Nicola, and the entire family quite upset. What transpired was deeply troubling for them all.

‘The speech was witnessed by hundreds of people and videoed and there is no denying it.

The situation has become quite unfortunate, as even positive news such as receiving a knighthood is now viewed primarily from the perspective of how it will be received by Brooklyn.

Five years past, he and Nicola had persistently attempted something. Contrary to belief, Nicola isn’t an evil mastermind controlling him; rather, such ideas are misconceived.

Lately, Brooklyn, who manages a hot sauce company and is well-known as a food enthusiast on social media, has had a new tattoo of flowers done, largely obscuring the old ‘mama’s boy’ design that used to be inked above his heart.

As a devoted follower, I learned earlier this year from one of Victoria’s friends that the reason for their ongoing strife, which was evident even during their tumultuous three-day wedding in 2022 and the troubled years since, stems from her unwillingness to acknowledge Nicola’s leadership. This has been a longstanding issue between them.

‘I’ve been informed that while the two couples put up a presentable image on social media following their joint event, there has reportedly been ongoing tension or conflict behind the scenes since the wedding.’

It’s always been a tug of war about Brooklyn, and Victoria has not wanted to let go.

Victoria finds herself deeply enmeshed within the Peltzes, feeling as if her existence revolves around them. This situation has fostered a sense of bitterness in her.

Despite their trip to Paris for Victoria’s fashion show, Nicola and Brooklyn chose to stay with Victoria’s family as her mother enjoys attending the high-end fashion events.

As the oldest child of David and Victoria, Brooklyn held them in high esteem. During his teenage years, he frequently accompanied Victoria to various events as her companion. It was evident that she deeply cared for him.

However, he has not measured up to his parents’ global successes in sport, music and fashion.

He was part of Arsenal’s youth team but departed at age 15 without advancing to professional football. In a 2022 interview, he admitted, ‘I struggle with anxiety quite a bit. Trying to match my father’s accomplishments became overwhelming, so I decided it was time for me to carve out my own identity and put in the hard work. Born under the sign of Pisces, I’m very sensitive.’

His modeling and photography ventures didn’t prove successful, and his wife, Nicola, believes that perhaps he was steered off course – by his parents.

His intense love for food has led him on a unique journey, and fortunately, he’s benefited from guidance by his wealthy businessman father when starting the hot sauce company, Cloud23.

Nelson Peltz serves as a member on the board of Unilever, a company known for producing items like Hellmann’s mayonnaise, Knorr sauces, and Colman’s mustard. It would be hard to find a more nurturing environment in the realm of condiments.

Back in October, when Brooklyn established the brand, many people thought that ’23’ symbolized his father’s jersey number at Real Madrid and LA Galaxy. This year, his team has referred to this number as a subtle tribute or acknowledgment of his father’s jersey in promotional content.

In an interview with Glamour magazine in April, he explained that the number 23 represented both our engagement date and his age at that time.

At the California music festival Coachella in 2017, Brooklyn found himself smitten when he initially crossed paths with Nicola, who was also there. In her own words about that chance encounter, Nicola described it as both fleeting yet extraordinary.

‘Previously, I was dating Brooklyn while also having a girlfriend. Yet, it was his appeal that instantly captured my attention. Even before we truly got to know one another, he managed to leave an impression on me by taking a few photos of me and lingering in my thoughts.’

For about three months into their relationship, he realized he wanted to marry Nicola, so he devised a heartfelt plan involving surprise visits by her family and a self-designed engagement ring for the perfect proposal.

Nicola shared: ‘Due to Covid, we had a prolonged engagement. We desired a grand wedding, but also wished to safeguard our grandparents. There were instances when we pondered over the idea of a quick elopement in Las Vegas, but were dissuaded from it. Living together for an extended period, marriage doesn’t fundamentally alter everything; however, it feels incredibly meaningful to say “my spouse” or “my partner”.’

Brooklyn concurred, expressing, “Indeed, the same sentiment. For a long time, it was strange using ‘fiancée.’ Now, it’s delightful to call her ‘my wife’ or even ‘my missus.’ It simply feels more right.

During the interview, they delved into their wedding day experiences, with Nicola expressing thoughtfully, ‘We were given some advice that I’m truly grateful we followed: Make sure to take a private moment on your wedding day for just the two of you.’

‘Step away, breathe, be together. Those were my favourite moments.

‘Weddings can get quite hectic, as one often finds oneself ensuring that others are enjoying themselves. Taking a moment to pause serves as a gentle reminder that at the heart of all this festivity lies our own special bond.’

Brooklyn stated, ‘Indeed, I concur! Post the ceremony, take a moment to step aside privately. We had a brief drive together, which turned out beautifully. And remember, cherish each other sincerely, speak truthfully, and continually look out for each other.’

Right now, the pair is enjoying a vacation sailing near the French coastline aboard the Peltz family’s yacht. The Beckhams, however, are residing in the United Kingdom.

Now comes a step which attempts to lay a path towards reconciliation. Will peace at last break out?
