Brooklyn Beckham Defends 'Obsession' with Wife Nicola Peltz Amidst Trolls
The eldest Beckham son publicly declared his devotion to his wife, hitting back at online criticism and sharing heartfelt anniversary tributes.
Brooklyn Beckham has publicly addressed online criticism, expressing his "obsession" with his wife, Nicola Peltz, and defending their relationship. The 27-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham shared his sentiments on Instagram, countering what he perceived as negative comments from followers.
To mark seven years together, both Brooklyn and Nicola posted affectionate tributes. Brooklyn shared a series of images, including a recent photo of himself kissing Nicola on the cheek while she held a designer handbag, alongside pictures of flowers and a handwritten note. In his accompanying message, he wrote, "My beautiful Nicola, you mean absolutely everything to me. 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, this declaration reportedly prompted some users to describe the posts as "over performative." In response, Brooklyn posted a picture of a glamorous Nicola looking surprised, with the caption: "Yeah I am obsessed with my wife. Bring on the comments, I don't care. She's perfect xx." He added a "fingers up" emoji to emphasize his stance.
Nicola Peltz Beckham also shared her own tribute to her husband, 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 included a series of personal photos, such as a selfie from their bed with a pet dog and a picture of Brooklyn kissing their dog. The couple resides in their Beverly Hills home, which was reportedly purchased for £16 million.
The couple's relationship began when they were first introduced at Coachella in April 2017, reconnecting at a Halloween party hosted by Leonardo DiCaprio in Los Angeles in 2019. Their wedding took place in April 2022, and they are also planning to renew their vows in August 2025.
Among those commenting on the couple's posts was David Furnish, Brooklyn's godfather. Furnish and his husband, Elton John, have faced speculation about "siding" with Brooklyn and Nicola amidst reports of a rift with the Beckham family. Elton John has been a long-time friend of the Beckhams for over 30 years, and there had been reports of him acting as a mediator between Brooklyn and his parents, David and Victoria Beckham. Brooklyn publicly addressed estrangement from his parents in January, making accusations about his mother, Victoria, on social media.
Recent social media activity has fueled further speculation. Brooklyn and Nicola attended David Furnish's birthday celebration in Venice, sharing photos from the event at Elton John's music venue, Elton's Club. David Furnish commented on their post, expressing his love for the couple. However, fans questioned the absence of David and Victoria Beckham from these celebrations, with some speculating that Elton John and David Furnish might have chosen sides in the family dynamics.
