Now official Vogue account of Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz’s wedding contradicts his explosive claim about THAT dance with Victoria

Brooklyn Beckham‘s claims that his mother Victoria ‘hijacked’ his first dance at his wedding are at odds with Vogue’s official account of the nupitals.

Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn’s April 2022 wedding was covered by US Vogue, which went into lavish detail about how the wedding party followed American traditions of a mother and son and father and daughter dance.

Vogue say the newlyweds’ first dance was to South African singer Lloyiso’s rendition of Elvis Presley’s Can’t Help Falling in Love. 

The publication then states that Marc Anthony, a close friend of David and Victoria, took to the stage much later into the reception at 11pm to perform his track I Need To Know.

It was at this point ‘Brooklyn invited his mother on stage for a dance and they were joined by David and their 10-year-old daughter, Harper.’

The claim that Brooklyn ‘invited’ his mother to dance is in direct contrast to his statement that ‘Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead.’

Brooklyn wrote in his explosive take down of his parents on Monday night that ‘my mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song.’

Vogue’s account of the first dance song being Elvis’ Can’t Help Falling in Love was proved correct by the couple themselves in a video posted from their honeymoon.

In April 2022 Brooklyn shared a clip of an emotional Nicola listening to a singer performing the love song, writing: I love you baby. We heard our wedding song on the first day of our honeymoon.’ 

Brooklyn went onto claim in his bombshell statement that he was left ‘humilated’ when Victoria ‘danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone.’

He even stated that his and Nicola’s decision to renew their vows last year without his family present was ‘so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment.’   

Brooklyn and his wife have been at the heart of the acrimonious divide that has resulted in them snubbing all significant family celebrations over recent months, including his father David’s milestone 50th birthday and knighthood.

The chef went as far as to say he has been ‘controlled by a family that values public promotion above all else’ and that since being with his wife Nicola, he has found ‘peace and relief’ after battling crippling anxiety.

Brooklyn also claimed Victoria, who has her own fashion brand, cancelled making Nicola’s wedding dress at the ‘eleventh hour’.

‘I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private.

‘Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.

‘I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.

‘For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family.

‘The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.

‘Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.’

He continued: ‘My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped.

‘My mum cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress.

‘Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children.

Brooklyn concluded: ‘My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first.

‘Family “love” is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo op even if it’s at the expense of our professional obligations.

‘We’ve gone out of our way for years to show up and support at every fashion show, every party, and every press activity to show “our perfect family!” But the one time my wife asked for my mum’s support to save displaced dogs during the LA fires, my mum refused.

‘The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards. I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life.

‘I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared. I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief.

‘My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.’

The Daily Mail has contacted the Beckhams for comment.

Brooklyn’s claim that his mother pulled out of designing Nicola’s wedding dress at the ‘eleventh hour’ is also seemingly at odds with an account given by the bride’s stylist at the time. 

He claimed that Victoria ‘cancelled’ plans to make Nicola’s gown at the last minute, ‘forcing her to urgently find a new dress’. 

But in an article published in Vogue four weeks after their April 2022 nuptials Nicola’s stylist Leslie Fremar said the dress was a year in the making.

Nicola also addressed the controversy in a Grazia interview in which she said that after Victoria said her atelier couldn’t make the gown in time, she travelled to Valentino’s headquarters to start the design process.

The actress, 31, sported a stunning couture Valentino bridal dress on the big day. 

Hollywood stylist Leslie, who is behind the wardrobes of Demi Moore, Julianne Moore and Charlize Theron, took two trips to Valentino’s headquarters in Rome to see the design come to life with the brand’s creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli and his team.

There was then two US fittings with Nicola, with the head seamstresses even journeying to Miami to ensure it was tailored perfectly. 

Leslie said: ‘It was the ultimate couture experience. The simplicity of it was magnificent. We didn’t have to overly detail the dress to accomplish the magnitude of it, so we ended up eliminating the embroidery.’ 

Now, making claims about what he says actually happened with the dress, Brooklyn wrote in his scathing post on Monday: ‘My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped. 

‘My mum cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress.’ 

Tensions of a brewing feud began over Nicola’s choice of wedding dress, with rumours at the time claiming it was the actress who refused to wear one of Victoria’s eponymous designs. 

She instead opted for various designs from Valentino, Christian Dior and Versace.  

While she denied there was a ‘feud’, she explained that Victoria’s atelier simply hadn’t had time to make the dress, as she insisted: ‘No family is perfect.’

She told the Sunday Times in 2022: ‘I think it all started, and I’ve said this before, because I didn’t end up wearing Victoria’s wedding dress. But the real truth is I really, really wanted to wear it and I thought it was so beautiful that Brooklyn’s mum got to make that for me.’

But in a different interview that same year, Nicola seemingly hinted at tensions claiming that her mother-in-law blanked her for days after offering to design her wedding dress – before blowing the bride’s plans out of the water and saying her studio couldn’t make the gown.

‘We connected to start designing the dress, and then a few days went by and I didn’t hear anything. Victoria called my mum and said her atelier couldn’t make it,’ Nicola told Grazia USA.

‘I was planning on wearing Victoria’s wedding dress and I was truly so excited to be able to wear a design that my future mother-in-law created. I thought that was so beautiful and such a beautiful story.’

Following the revelations from Victoria that she couldn’t make her daughter-in-law’s dress, Nicola recalled: ‘So, I spoke to my mum and Leslie, and I was like, “Well, unfortunately, this can’t happen, so what’s the next step?”

‘I’ve been a fan of Valentino and their couture for so long. I was really lucky to be able to travel to [the atelier] to try on the dress. That’s really what happened.’

Moreover, Brooklyn has said the couple opted to have his Nanny Sandra, his dad David’s mum, and Nicola’s ‘naunni’ sit with them at the top table because both women didn’t have husbands. 

David’s dad Ted attended the wedding with his new wife Hilary while Nicola’s grandfather had passed away.

Brooklyn said his family and Nicola’s family were placed on their own tables ‘equally adjacent’ to the top table.

This is a diversion from tradition as usually top table etiquette places the couple in the centre, with their parents on either side.

David awkwardly ignored questions about son Brooklyn’s explosive broadside at his family was shared on Tuesday, shortly after the sportsman recorded a podcast about ‘regret’.   

David, 50, was seen for the first time just hours since his eldest son, 26, posted a six-page statement about the Beckham family feud, when he attended the World Economic Forum in Davos and struggled to smile for photos. 

A reporter from Sky News shouted: ‘David, do you have a message for Brooklyn this morning?’ as David posed for selfies, causing the red-faced sportsman to quickly turn on his heel and make an exit. 

As he walked away, he was asked again: ‘David, are you disappointed family business is being aired in public?’ but he refused to answer the question. 

David had looked weary-eyed minutes before, as he took part in a podcast interview for Radio Davos’s latest episode called Re-thinking with science author, Adam Grant.

The annual meeting in Davos opens with a stated motto of ‘improving the state of the world,’ and this year’s theme is ‘A spirit of dialogue.’ 

David’s awkwardly-timed interview will focus on ‘resilience, failure, regret and disappointment’ amid his family woes is expected to be released on Wednesday. 

Rebecca Loos had her say on Brooklyn’s astonishing attack on his parents soon after it happened. 

David’s former PA, 48, who claimed to have had an affair with the married footballer, responded to online comments on Monday night directing her toward Brooklyn’s Instagram statement.

Replying to one fan who suggested she may ‘feel a source of extra validation’ at reading Brooklyn’s words, Rebecca wrote: ‘So happy he is standing up for himself and speaking publicly finally!!!! I have felt so bad for his poor wife, knowing too well what they can be like!’

She added in another comment ‘the truth always comes out ❤️’, mirroring Brooklyn’s own words in his explosive statement in which he wrote: ‘I believe the truth always come out.’

 Rebecca, who now lives in Norway with her husband and children, shot to global notoriety in 2004 when she claimed to have had an affair with her then-boss David. 

David has always denied the affair allegations, and famously talked about the reports  in his Netflix show, released in October 2023. Rebecca insisted the show was David ‘trying to portray an image of perfection that was nothing like reality.’

On a sligjhtly more light-hearted note, Victoria has caused the internet to explode with memes amid claims she danced ‘inappropriately’ on son Brooklyn – while a 2024 tweet also saw the star profess that she’s ‘never met a dancefloor she doesn’t like’.

Jaws dropped to the floor when his statement included claims that Victoria had ‘hijacked his first dance’ and ‘danced very inappropriately on me’, leaving the nepo-baby ‘uncomfortable or humiliated’.

In the wake of the statement, a throwback tweet from Victoria, with images showing her dancing with David with the caption: ‘Never met a dance floor I didn’t like’ resurfaced.

In the face of such controversy, the internet naturally exploded with memes, jokes and speculation over what Victoria’s ‘inappropriate’ dancing would have entailed, leaving fans in stitches about the situation.
