Beckham, 27, had wanted to wear leather to coordinate with Peltz, 31, and Hurley, the son of model and actress Liz Hurley, but Peltz reportedly objected because it might invite comparisons with David and Victoria Beckham’s matching outfits. Beckham instead dressed as Superman. The source said Hurley’s leather costume made Beckham feel like “a third wheel” in the photos. Beckham later deleted the image featuring Hurley.
The pictures drew comments asking why Peltz was dressed to match “some other guy” and suggesting she and Hurley looked more like a couple. The criticism followed a tribute Beckham posted to Peltz days earlier, calling her “my whole world, my best friend and the most important person in my life.” After users questioned whether she had written the caption, he replied that he was “obsessed” with his wife and did not care about the comments.
The latest episode comes amid a wider family rift. Brooklyn and Peltz married in April 2022. In a January Instagram statement, Beckham said his parents had controlled him for much of his life, alleged that his wife had been disrespected by his family and said he did not want reconciliation. Journalist Alison Boshoff, author of Brand Beckham: The Fame, The Feuds, The Fallout, claimed Beckham did not write the entire statement and suggested Peltz wrote one passage.
A source quoted in the report said Beckham reads claims that Peltz controls their relationship and feels he is not taken seriously. The same source said Peltz leads the relationship, while friends and family see a resemblance to his dynamic with his parents. Victoria Beckham, the source added, was upset to see her son mocked and hopes he will reconnect with his family in the UK. The report says attempts to reach out have included a letter delivered by Harper to the couple’s Los Angeles home in the summer; Brooklyn is reportedly blocking his family on social media.
