Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz celebrated their engagement anniversary on Tuesday, with both sharing affectionate tributes to one another on Instagram. The posts surfaced hours after Peltz Beckham shared a cryptic message on social media that has been interpreted as a criticism of her husband's family.

Beckham marked six years since he proposed to his wife by posting a black and white photograph of the couple. "6 years ago I asked my best friend to marry me x You are my girl, my beautiful wife, and my whole heart," Beckham wrote. "Every day with you feels like the best adventure, and I still can’t believe I get to do life with you. You make everything brighter, funnier, sweeter, and more magical just by being you. I can’t wait to keep laughing, dreaming, and staying young with you forever. I love you more than words, Nicola."

Peltz Beckham responded in the comments, writing, "i couldn’t possibly love you more. you’re my world, my rock and my soulmate. i love you a million times over and i love being your wife thank you for loving me so perfectly my forever."

Later, Peltz Beckham shared her own tribute, stating, "I can’t believe we got engaged 6 years ago today. I feel like I’ve known you my whole life, you’re my best friend and my forever love wrapped in one. I love you with my whole heart. you’re the kindest man I’ve ever met and I’m so happy I get to do life with you. thank you for being the magical you."

Beckham replied to his wife's post, "Your [sic] my best friend forever and ever."

Escalating Family Tensions

The public displays of affection come amid ongoing reports of an estrangement between Brooklyn Beckham and his parents, David and Victoria Beckham. On Sunday, David Beckham extended an olive branch to his eldest son on Father's Day, sharing old photographs of them together and writing, "Being a dad is my most important job – I love you all and thank you mummy @victoriabeckham for giving me our beautiful family. Happy Father's Day to all the Dads around the world."

Victoria Beckham also included their son Brooklyn in her Father's Day post to her husband. Sources close to Brooklyn have indicated he is "fuming" about the social media posts, with one telling The Sun, "He's fuming about it. He's asked them to leave him alone and they just keep posting him. It just brings the whole thing up all over again. He wishes they'd leave it and leave him alone."

Shortly after David Beckham's post, Nicola Peltz Beckham shared a quote on her social media that read, "I am in love with this sentence: Forgive yourself for not knowing earlier what only time could teach." This has been widely interpreted as a further jab at the Beckham family.

Reports of a rift between Brooklyn Beckham and his parents surfaced in late 2022, intensifying in January when he reportedly released a statement detailing his desire to "create new memories that bring us joy and happiness" after alleging his mother, Victoria Beckham, had "hijacked" his first dance at his wedding and called him "evil" when she was not seated at his table. Around the same time, Brooklyn was reported to have blocked his parents on Instagram, and his legal team allegedly requested all future communication be handled through representatives.

More recently, Beckham faced criticism following the release of a two-part commercial for DoorDash. In the advertisement, he remarked, "You're probably wondering why I'm watching the Fifa World Cup 2026 from home... It's a long story." This was perceived by some as mocking his parents, with whom he reportedly no longer speaks. Friends of the Beckham family reportedly expressed that David and Victoria were "devastated and inconsolable" by the advert.
