If any celebrity couple knows how to weather a storm, it’s Victoria and David Beckham – and a source tells says that the current family drama is no exception. In fact, our source says Posh and Becks are “closer than ever”, as the rumoured estrangement from their eldest son, 26-year-old Brooklyn, and daughter-in-law, Nicola Peltz, 30, continues to rumble on.
Photos of the pair enjoying a luxury Italian yacht trip showed anything but a couple in distress, with David seen in one snap sneaking a cheeky grab of his wife’s derrière. “Victoria and David are very good at pulling together when things around them are rubbish. She has learned how to navigate a lot of difficult situations since they’ve been married, and she knows exactly what support David needs,” the source said.
“It works both ways too. No one knows Victoria better than David, so even though things with Brooklyn are awful for them, they’re 100% on the same page and supporting each other. Family has always been really important to them, so they know they have to focus on what’s going right, and pull together as a family, even if it’s without Brooklyn.”

David, who turned 50 in May, and Victoria, 51, enjoyed the stunning Amalfi coastline in style, taking in the views while onboard a multi-million pound superyacht. They were joined on the trip by their three youngest children, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and 14-year-old Harper.
Meanwhile, Los Angeles-based Brooklyn and Nicola continued to go about their lives in America, following their recent vow renewal. The pair, who met in 2017 at the Coachella music festival, tied the knot the first time round in a three-day bash at the Peltz family estate in Palm Beach, Florida, in April 2022.
Last month they delivered what some saw as a final blow to Victoria and David when they renewed their vows in a private ceremony at another Peltz family estate in Westchester County, near New York, with none of the Beckham clan on the guest list.

The ceremony – which looked every bit like a wedding – was officiated by Nicola’s billionaire dad, Nelson Peltz, and followed by a star-studded butterfly-themed afterparty. While Brooklyn’s family were notably absent, the couple celebrated their special day with A-listers including actor Adrien Brody and his fashion designer girlfriend Georgina Chapman.
Nicola’s announcement of the event on her socials didn’t go down well with some followers, and there was plenty of outrage scattered among the comments.
One person wrote, “Such a shame that you couldn’t find it in your hearts to have Brooklyn’s family there!” Another went as far as to say it was “rubbing salt in the wound for the Beckhams” and would be so “hurtful”.

Nicola has since flooded her Instagram with more family photos from the day – with the comments now turned off – but our source says that far from ruining Victoria and David’s mood, their son’s vow renewal has made them realise they themselves “have a lot to celebrate as a couple”.
When Spice Girl Victoria and Inter Miami CF co-owner David married at Ireland’s Luttrellstown Castle on 4 July 1999, with new baby Brooklyn making his first public appearance, the event cemented their place as an up-and-coming celebrity power couple.
“However, it remained a family affair, with Victoria’s sister Louise, her baby daughter Liberty, and David’s young niece Georgina the bridesmaids, and only 29 of their nearest and dearest were invited to witness their ceremony, before more than 250 guests joined them for the lavish reception.

According to our source, with 26 years under their belts and the new realisation that they never know what tomorrow will bring, we can expect the couple to continue to pull together and face new challenges head on.
The source said, “They’re a couple who sort of come out of bad things stronger. Everyone knows this isn’t the first time they’ve been through something difficult, with the whole world watching and talking about it. They really can take on whatever life throws at them.”
