Brooklyn Beckham Defends 'Obsession' with Wife Nicola Peltz Amid Trolling

Brooklyn Beckham publicly expressed his strong admiration for his wife, Nicola Peltz, in a series of Instagram posts, directly addressing online trolls.

"Yeah I am obsessed with my wife. Bring on the comments, I don't care. She's perfect xx," Beckham, 27, wrote on his Instagram Stories, accompanying the message with a photo of Peltz. He also included a fingers-up emoji to emphasize his sentiment.

Earlier, Beckham had shared a heartfelt tribute to Peltz for their seven-year anniversary. He posted a photo of himself kissing his wife, who was holding a Chanel handbag, alongside images of flowers and a handwritten note. "My beautiful Nicola, you mean absolutely everything to me," he wrote. "You're my whole world, my best friend, and the most important person in my life. I'm so lucky I get to love you and spend forever by your side. I love you more than words can ever explain."

However, some followers interpreted his declarations as "over performative." Comments included remarks like, "From the guy who called his parents’ social media posts “performative”..." and "Another millionth declaration."

Peltz, 31, also shared her own anniversary message on Instagram, writing, "Happy anniversary my love, my best friend, my everything. I can't believe it's been 7 years by your side, I wouldn't wish for it any other way. i love you with my entire soul. i adore your love letters and morning coffees with our puppies please never change. i fall harder for you everyday."

Her post featured a series of photos of the couple, including a selfie with a pet dog and images of Beckham with their dog at their Beverly Hills home.

The couple has multiple anniversaries to celebrate, including their wedding in April 2022 and a vow renewal planned for August 2025. Thursday marked the anniversary of the beginning of their relationship, which started after they reconnected at a Halloween party in Los Angeles in 2019, having first met at Coachella in April 2017.

Amidst the public display of affection and the response to criticism, there has been ongoing speculation regarding the Beckham family dynamics. Brooklyn's godfather, Elton John, and his husband, David Furnish, have been noted in relation to this. Reports suggest Furnish commented on Brooklyn and Nicola's attendance at David Beckham's birthday celebration in Venice, stating, "Thank you so much for joining us in the celebrations! We love you and Nicola so much!!" This led to fan questions about the absence of David and Victoria Beckham from the same event, with some speculating about potential rifts.

Brooklyn Beckham's public statements about his estrangement from his parents, including accusations about his wedding, were made in January. He and Peltz spent time with Elton John and David Furnish in the south of France last summer, rather than with David and Victoria Beckham.

The last time the wider Beckham family was photographed with Brooklyn and Nicola was at Christmas 2024.
