Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham recently celebrated the Fourth of July with a festive gathering, sharing highlights of their party on social media. Peltz showcased her abs in a white bra and denim shorts, with Beckham sporting a cowboy hat and a red and white t-shirt. The couple was joined by friends, including basketball player Shaqir O'Neal and Dominic J West. Their party featured USA-themed decorations, including inflatables and balloons, and a spread that included cupcakes and bottles of Brooklyn's hot sauce, Cloud 23.
This celebration occurred on the same day that Brooklyn's parents, David and Victoria Beckham, marked their 27th wedding anniversary. Victoria Beckham commemorated the occasion on Instagram with a photo of her kissing David, captioning it with sentiments about their enduring marriage and family. David Beckham also shared a post celebrating their anniversary and expressing pride in their family.
However, reports suggest that Brooklyn Beckham is displeased with his parents' public mentions of him. A source indicated that Brooklyn feels his parents repeatedly posting about him reopens old wounds and that he wishes for them to cease. This follows a period of reported estrangement, during which Brooklyn is said to have blocked his parents on Instagram and communicated through legal representatives.
Last year, Brooklyn reportedly issued a statement announcing his departure from 'Brand Beckham' and described his parents and siblings as 'performative.' He also claimed that his parents had exerted control over him, tried to create distance between him and his wife, Nicola Peltz, and that his mother's actions at his wedding were embarrassing.
Brooklyn was last seen with his family during Christmas 2024, and by May 2025, it was evident a rift had formed as he did not acknowledge his parents' birthdays, including David's 50th. More recently, Brooklyn faced criticism for a commercial where fans interpreted a line about watching the FIFA World Cup 2026 from home as a jab at his parents, particularly given his claims of seeking privacy and the reported large sum he received for the advertisement. Sources close to the Beckhams have described them as devastated by this perceived public slight.
