Amid reported tensions in the Beckham family, a source has shared that it seems to have all started when Victoria Beckham ‘ruined’ the first dance at her son Brooklyn Beckham and wife Nicola Peltz’s wedding.
There are tensions in the family
A source close to the Pletz family told People that the couple Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Pletz seem to be facing tensions with Brooklyn’s parents, David and Victoria Beckham.
This comes just days after Brooklyn posted a message on Instagram saying that he will “always choose” his wife.
Victoria allegedly hijacked the wedding dance
The source claims that tensions between the couple and Brooklyn’s parents started when Victoria, 51, allegedly hijacked the first dance at Brooklyn and Nicola’s 2022 wedding.
Although the couple had planned on taking the memorable dance together, Victoria was the one asked to come onto the dance floor instead of Nicola.
Marc Anthony called on Victoria
“Marc Anthony, who is a friend of the Beckhams, offered to perform as a gift at the wedding,” the source started explaining.
“Before the song began, Marc Anthony asked Brooklyn to come to the stage, and then announced, ‘The most beautiful woman in the room tonight, come on up…Victoria Beckham!’”
The bride felt her wedding was ruined
The source claims that the new bride Nicola Pletz allegedly “felt that Victoria ruined her wedding, and couldn’t understand why.”
Another source has also claimed that everyone in the room was so shocked by Anthony’s calling of Victoria’s name that it was followed by complete silence.
Wedding guests were in ‘absolute shock’
The second source said that Anthony’s calling of Victoria to come on the dance floor “was such a jaw-dropping moment that it left the whole room in absolute shock — you could hear a pin drop.”
They also added that the guests were allegedly even more shocked when Victoria began actually slow dancing with her son.
The bride was left in tears
“It wasn’t appropriate,” the source described the moment, saying that Victoria’s alleged hijacking of her son and his wife’s first dance left the bride in tears at her own wedding.
They noted that everyone saw “Nicola run from the room crying.”
It was pre-planned as a couple’s dance
“Nicola felt like Victoria did this on purpose, when she knew it was a pre-planned romantic dance meant for Brooklyn and Nicola. What she couldn’t understand was why,” the source said.
This is allegedly part of a larger rift
A third insider close to the family said that the dance incident has been part of a larger issue of tension between the couple and Brooklyn’s parents.
They claimed that Brooklyn and Nicola have been trying to “make peace” but “it all falls apart again.”
Brooklyn is torn in the midst of the tensions
The insider explained that “Brooklyn feels torn” amid the whole thing. “It’s his family and blood, but he’s always had a complicated relationship with his dad. A lot of their relationship has felt like ‘business.’”
Although they were allegedly invited, Brooklyn and Nicola were absent from David’s 50th birthday celebrations in March.
But things can be mended
Between missing his father’s birthday celebrations and posting in undying support of his wife, Brooklyn seems to be taking a step back from the family.
But despite the tensions and the wedding debacle, insiders have said that the relationship between Brooklyn and Nicola and the family “is definitely not beyond repair.”
“They love and are always there for [Brooklyn]. They’re just hurt and disappointed that he’s now playing no part in family life.”
