Brooklyn Beckham took to Instagram to mark a major milestone in his relationship with wife Nicola Peltz, calling his proposal the “best decision” of his life, even as rumours of a family rift continue to swirl.

The 26-year-old eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham shared a sweet mirror selfie of Nicola, 30, with her hair in rollers, while he kisses her cheek from behind. Alongside the photo, he wrote, “It’s been 5 years since I asked this beautiful woman to marry me xx best decision ever x I love you so much.”

The public tribute to Nicola comes at a sensitive time for the Beckham family, who have recently been the subject of media speculation over internal tensions. Notably, Brooklyn was absent from some of the high-profile celebrations for his father David’s 50th birthday in early May. His siblings, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13, all attended the London dinner and the lavish party hosted at the family’s Cotswolds estate.

While the Beckhams have not publicly addressed the growing speculation of a rift, fans have noticed Brooklyn and Nicola's increasing distance from the rest of the family. This latest post, full of affection and gratitude, may be Brooklyn’s way of affirming where his priorities lie - with Nicola and their shared life in the U.S.

Brooklyn, who now runs his own hot sauce brand Cloud23, and Nicola, an actress and heiress, tied the knot in April 2022 in Palm Beach, Florida. The couple has continued to present a united front on social media, frequently sharing snapshots of their life together despite the undercurrents of family drama.
