Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz have been one of Hollywood's most talked-about couples since they first went public with their relationship. As the eldest son of soccer legend David Beckham and fashion icon Victoria Beckham, Brooklyn has grown up in the spotlight, while Nicola, an actress and heiress to billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz's fortune, brings her own blend of glamour and grit to the partnership. Their whirlwind romance has captivated fans, but it's not without its share of rumors—particularly surrounding family tensions and persistent speculation about starting a family of their own. Here's a look at their journey together.
The Early Days: From Coachella Sparks to Instagram Official
The couple's story began innocently enough at the Coachella music festival in April 2017, where they were introduced through one of Nicola's brothers. However, it wasn't love at first sight; the two didn't start dating until October 2019, when they were spotted leaving a Halloween party hosted by Leonardo DiCaprio. By January 2020, they made things official on Instagram, with Brooklyn sharing a black-and-white photo of the pair cuddling, captioned simply with a heart emoji.
Their relationship progressed quickly amid the global pandemic. Brooklyn, then 20, and Nicola, 24 at the time, quarantined together, sharing glimpses of their life on social media—from cooking sessions to cozy nights in. Fans were charmed by their youthful energy and apparent devotion, with Brooklyn often gushing about Nicola in interviews.
Engagement and a Lavish Wedding
Less than a year into dating, Brooklyn proposed in July 2020 with a stunning emerald-cut diamond ring estimated to be worth over $350,000. The engagement announcement came via matching Instagram posts, where Brooklyn wrote, "Two weeks ago I asked my soulmate to marry me and she said yes. I am the luckiest man in the world." The couple tied the knot on April 9, 2022, in an extravagant ceremony at Nicola's family estate in Palm Beach, Florida. The event, reportedly costing $3.5 million, featured celebrity guests like Serena Williams, Eva Longoria, and the Spice Girls (minus Mel B). Brooklyn and Nicola both adopted the hyphenated surname Peltz Beckham post-wedding, symbolizing their union.
However, the wedding wasn't without controversy. Rumors later surfaced that Victoria Beckham had a hand in some behind-the-scenes drama, including allegedly "ruining" the couple's first dance, leaving Nicola in tears. These whispers fueled speculation of a rift between Nicola and her mother-in-law, with reports claiming tensions over wedding planning and family dynamics.
#### Navigating Family Feuds and Public Scrutiny
In the years following their marriage, Brooklyn and Nicola have faced ongoing rumors of family discord, particularly with the Beckhams. Sources have suggested that Nicola's strong-willed personality clashed with Victoria's, leading to strained relations. Brooklyn has addressed these claims directly, telling outlets in 2025 that he and Nicola try not to pay attention to external noise about their personal lives. Despite this, reports persisted: the couple reportedly skipped David Beckham's 50th birthday party in May 2025 due to an unwanted guest, and Brooklyn shared a heartfelt post about his love for Nicola amid "tensions" with his family.
By August 2025, the pair renewed their vows in a private ceremony, attended primarily by Nicola's family and friends—further stoking feud rumors, as the Beckhams were notably absent. Insiders described the event as a fresh start, but it highlighted the emotional toll of the alleged rift. Victoria has reportedly reached a "breaking point," extending olive branches to mend ties for Brooklyn's sake, while also expressing sympathy for "nepo babies" like her son, urging people to give them a chance. Brooklyn himself acknowledged his privileged background in a 2024 interview, admitting he's "obviously" a nepo baby but can't help how he was born.
Adding another layer, there were brief whispers of the couple aligning with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle—fellow figures navigating family estrangements—but sources poured cold water on any "Beckxit" alliance, clarifying Brooklyn and Nicola weren't directly invited to Sussex events. Meanwhile, their friendship with Selena Gomez appears to have cooled, with insiders noting that "relationships evolve."
#### Pregnancy Rumors: Are They Starting a Family?
Speculation about Brooklyn and Nicola expanding their family has been a constant undercurrent since their wedding. In April 2024, Brooklyn hinted at baby plans in an intimate anniversary message to Nicola, writing about their future together in a way that sparked immediate buzz. Later that year, he revealed a "huge secret" about their family aspirations in an interview, admitting they were eager to have kids but wanted to enjoy their time as a couple first.
The rumors intensified in 2025. Reports suggested their baby plans were taking an "emotional toll" amid the family feud, with the stress of public scrutiny weighing heavily. Social media posts fueled the fire: one user speculated Nicola would soon be pregnant to "trap" Brooklyn, while another claimed the vow renewal was a prelude to parenthood. However, as of October 2025, there's no official confirmation of a pregnancy. The couple has remained tight-lipped, focusing instead on their shared projects, like Brooklyn's cooking ventures and Nicola's acting career, including her role in the film "Lola."
Despite the drama, Brooklyn and Nicola continue to project a united front, often sharing affectionate posts and emphasizing their bond. In a world of celebrity highs and lows, their story is a reminder that even picture-perfect romances come with real challenges—and plenty of speculation. Whether a baby Beckham-Peltz is on the horizon remains to be seen, but one thing's clear: this couple isn't fading from the headlines anytime soon.
