Nicola Peltz marries David Beckham’s son in whopping $3MILLION Miami wedding
BROOKLYN Beckham has tied the knot with Nicola Peltz in a lavish £3million Miami wedding in front of a star-studded guestlist.
The luxury nuptials, which is thought to have cost around £3million, have been in the planning ever since Brooklyn proposed to Transformers actress Nicola in July 2020.
One guest described the double ceremony — designed to mark the Catholic faith of Nicola’s mum Claudia and the Judaism of her dad Nelson — as “touching” and “emotional.”
Eva Longoria, actress and fashion designer Nicole Ritchie, model Gigi Hadid and Gordon Ramsay attended the wedding.
Others on the guest list included Spice Girls Melanie Brown, 46, Melanie Chisholm, 48, supermodel Gisele Bundchen, 41, former footballer Phil Neville, 45, and Brooklyn’s godfather Dave Gardner, 44.
As the eldest child of former England football captain David, 46, and Spice Girls singer turned fashion designer Victoria, 47, who have a £380million fortune, Brooklyn was always a good catch.
Yet his family’s wealth is dwarfed by the £1.3BILLION banked by Nicola’s financier father Nelson, 79, whose wife is former model Claudia, 65.
Brooklyn and Nicola previously signed a prenuptial agreement ahead of their wedding today, held at the Peltz family’s £76million ocean-front mansion in Palm Beach, Florida.
It was even rumoured California-based Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may show up.

Beckhams accused of ‘choosing Harry and Meghan’ over William and Kate
The Beckhams have been accused of “choosing” Prince Harry and Meghan Markle over Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, and Prince William.
According to the Daily Express, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are claimed to be attending Brooklyn Beckham’s wedding in Palm Beach this weekend as guests of David and Victoria.
Australian presenter Sylvia Jeffreys and David Campbell asked if the Beckhams “snubbed” the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge from the occasion after pointing out their relationship to the couple.
Victoria and David attended both princes’ weddings.
9Honey’s royal correspondent Natalie Oliveri said: “They are said to be guests of David and Victoria because Harry and Meghan have known the couple for quite some time but look, this is copping a lot of criticism because Harry did not make his grandfather’s memorial in London last week.
“However, it is different and Meghan has been wearing Victoria’s clothes for many years now so there is quite a close friendship there.”
Today Extra host Ms Jeffreys said: “I find this interesting though because William and Kate have a relationship with the Beckham’s as well so would that be considered a snub if they are not invited and Harry and Meghan are.”
