Victoria Beckham’s Anniversary Shout-Outs Amid Beckham Clan Feud
Okay, but like, Victoria Beckham just paused her runway hustle to gush over her kids on Instagram—right in the middle of some awkward Beckham family side-eye. The fashion mogul and David Beckham marked their 26th wedding anniversary on July 4 with matching tribute posts celebrating their “beautiful family and life” together. Victoria captioned a poolside smooch pic, “Another year, another chapter in our love story. You and our four incredible children complete me. I love you so much @davidbeckham xx” (Victoria’s Instagram, July 4). David returned the love in his own post: “Happy Anniversary and thank you for giving me our beautiful children and building the life that we have together. I love you Lady Beckham.”
Sounds cute, right? But here’s where it gets messy: insiders say the family feud with eldest son Brooklyn Beckham, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham, 30, is still simmering. Sources tell E! News that tensions flared at Brooklyn and Nicola’s April 2022 wedding when Marc Anthony called Victoria “the most beautiful woman in the room” right before the couple’s first dance. The gaffe reportedly left Nicola in tears and Brooklyn feeling “awkward” on the dance floor (E! News, May).
Despite that moment, Brooklyn and Nicola have allegedly been making “good faith efforts” to patch things up, with one insider insisting rumors that he’s cut off the family are “another deliberate attempt to misrepresent the truth” (E! News, June). There’s even more family friction: although many expected Nicola to wear a custom Victoria Beckham gown down the aisle, she ultimately walked in Valentino Couture. Nicola later told Variety that the change was due to atelier logistics—not any drama—and praised the Beckhams as “great in-laws.” Brooklyn chimed in, “I’ve learned they’re always going to try to write stuff like that. But everyone gets along, which is good.”
Meanwhile, Victoria kept it classy when asked about the wedding on the TODAY show. She called it “a beautiful wedding” and admitted, “As a mother, to see my son so happy means so much. What more can you ask for?” Even Tom Cruise and the Spice Girls couldn’t break this family tension: Nicola reportedly skipped Victoria’s 50th birthday bash, fueling more chatter.
But on anniversary day, none of that seemed to matter. Vic and David doubled down on their love, hyping up Brooklyn Peltz Beckham (with Nicola in tow), Romeo Beckham, 22, Cruz Beckham, 20, and 13-year-old Harper Beckham as “incredible.” It’s a sweet counterpunch to any inside-baseball speculation.
Keep an eye on those comment threads—will the Beckhams really squash this quietly, or is more digital drama on deck? If this trends, don’t say I didn’t warn you.
