Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz are reportedly choosing not to treat their first wedding date as their anniversary, with insiders claiming the day is now associated with “bad memories” for the couple.
Sources said the April 2022 ceremony, which was attended by members of Brooklyn’s family, is not a milestone the pair “look back on fondly.”
Brooklyn and Nicola originally married during a lavish three-day celebration at the Peltz family’s Palm Beach estate in April 2022, exchanging vows in front of 500 guests.
The couple went on to renew their vows in August 2025, with the Beckham family notably absent from the guest list.
In what is being viewed as another pointed move amid Brooklyn’s estrangement from his parents, he and Nicola are now said to regard their private second wedding as their “official” anniversary.
Brooklyn did not share a tribute to Nicola on the anniversary of their original wedding this April, while Nicola has never publicly marked that date.
By contrast, both Brooklyn and Nicola acknowledged their new anniversary in Instagram posts on Wednesday.
A source said: “Brooklyn and Nicola’s first wedding in April 2022 is not an occasion they look back on fondly. Nicola ended up in tears. It’s not something they want to be reminded of.”
Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz will reportedly no longer celebrate their first wedding as their anniversary due to the ‘bad memories it holds’
Sources close to the couple have claimed their April 2022 wedding, that was attended by his family, is not an ‘occasion they look back on fondly’
‘Their second wedding, where they renewed their vows last August with just her family and their friends, does hold so many happy memories however.
‘Going forwards, they’ve decided that this is the date they will celebrate publicly together,’ they added to The Sun.
The Daily Mail has approached Nicola, Brooklyn and the Beckhams for comment.
Marking the vow renewal on Tuesday, Brooklyn called the actress, 31, his ‘absolute princess’.
He penned: ‘Happy anniversary Nicola I can’t tell you how much I love you x you are my best friend and I love you more than life itself xx.
‘I am so lucky to be able to call you my wife xx you are my absolute princess and I promise to always protect you xx.’
Nicola also posted, writing: ‘happy anniversary my love you make life so beautiful. thank you for being the most amazing husband i could ever dream of.’
In Brooklyn’s scathing bombshell statement earlier this year, the eldest Beckham son explained that he and Nicola hosted a vow renewal without his family, as they wanted to ‘create new memories that bring us joy and happiness’ after Victoria ruined their wedding.
In his statement in January, Brooklyn detailed the ‘anxiety and embarrassment’ he felt when Victoria hijacked their first dance and called him ‘evil’ when she wasn’t seated at his table.
He wrote: ‘During the wedding planning, my mum went so far as to call me ”evil” because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra, and Nicola’s Naunni at our table, because they both didn’t have their husbands.
‘Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours. The night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was “not blood” and “not family.”
‘My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song.
They later renewed their vows in August 2025 – and pointedly did not invite the Beckham family
The couple narrowly missed running into his estranged family last week as they holidayed in France, just a stone’s throw from where the Beckhams were also staying
‘In front of our 500 wedding guests, 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.
‘She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.
‘We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment.’
Brooklyn narrowly missed bumping into his parents in the South of France last week, as the couple joined his godfather Elton John on his yacht just a stone’s throw from where his estranged parents were also holidaying.
It marks the closest Brooklyn had been to his family in months as they holiday just along the coast of the French Riviera.
Victoria and David were most recently seen on their yacht in St Tropez, 75 miles away from their son, who is staying on Elton’s boat near Nice.
Once again, Brooklyn skipped his family’s annual getaway on the £16million yacht after severing ties with his parents and siblings.
Instead, he united with Elton and his husband David Furnish, where they were spotted chatting on board the vessel.
The Beckhams and Elton have been pals for more than 30 years, with David affectionately calling the musician ‘Uncle Elton’ after the pair became friends in his football heyday.
Yet Elton appears to be pledging an allegiance with Brooklyn and Nicola as they enjoyed lunch on the sundeck.
Before heading to the South of France, David and Victoria had been in the US – with Romeo and Kim, Harper, 15, Cruz, 21, and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 30 – to watch the World Cup, but despite living in California, Brooklyn avoided meeting up with his family amid their ongoing estrangement.
