Their romance has been hailed as “couple goals” amid their constant stream of loved-up Instagram posts and gushing tributes to one another, following their whirlwind engagement in July.
And as Brooklyn Beckham further fuels excitement over his upcoming wedding to American model, Nicola Peltz – captioning a recent snap of his fiancée with a nod to his Spice Girl mum’s hit, 2 Become 1 – rumours about “the society wedding of the year” have reached fever pitch.
Reports about the A-list nuptials suggest there could be two lavish bashes on both sides of the Atlantic costing a whopping £3 million, with rumours swirling that the couple are eyeing up St Paul’s Cathedral for the ceremony in the UK.
But behind the scenes, insiders say Brooklyn’s protective mum Posh has felt uncomfortable amid talks of a pre-nuptial agreement at the reported request of 25-year-old Nicola’s billionaire father, Nelson Peltz, 78.
A source says, “Vic absolutely adores Nicola and can’t wait for her to become her daughter-in-law, and she’s a real romantic at heart – so her excitement has been dampened a bit with talk of lawyers and contracts that pre-empt divorce.
“She’s pragmatic, with a good business head, but she can’t help but feel upset at the mention of their fairy tale and her son’s happiness coming to an end.”
The former Spice Girl was just 23 when David – a then 22-year-old Manchester United footballer – popped the question, just a year after they first met in 1998. The famous pair married a year later – without signing a pre-nuptial agreement – and have since gone on to amass a joint fortune of £770m.
The source says, “While the pre-nup was instigated by Nicola’s dad, Vic knows it’s just as important for Brooklyn to be protected. He also comes from a wealthy family and isn’t fazed by Nicola’s father’s fortune.
“While it doesn’t sit easily with her and has brought up some unexpected emotions, she knows pre-nups are a necessary evil when two wealthy people marry, no matter how unromantic and upsetting she finds it.”
In July, Brooklyn, 21, shocked fans when he proposed to his future wife with a bespoke £250k ring, after just nine months together.
Appearing to silence reports of concern over their son’s quick proposal, Posh, 46, publicly celebrated the pair’s “MOST amazing news” in a caption on an Instagram post, as her and husband David, 45, welcomed Nicola into their family with open arms.
The billionaire heiress joined the Beckhams on their recent summer holiday in Greece, and has acted as a muse for her future mother-in-law’s latest fashion collection.
Nicola – who has six brothers – has also formed a bond with Brooklyn’s younger sister, nine-year-old Harper, who she described as “the sweetest most loving and beautiful little human I know”.
Closer has previously reported on Posh’s apprehension about her eldest son being forced to endure the intense scrutiny his parents have suffered, as their marriage has always been in the constant glare of the spotlight.
The couple – who also share Romeo, 18, and Cruz, 15 – have weathered their fair share of storms during their 21-year marriage and were forced to shoot down talk of divorce in 2018.
Growing up in the limelight, Brooklyn has received a lot of negativity himself, with his debut photography book largely slammed by critics and his love life the focus of attention.
