Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz Hold Crystal Ceremony During Family Rift
Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz have conducted a 'magical' crystal ceremony to honour the full moon, an event that coincides with a deepening estrangement from his famous parents, David and Victoria Beckham. The couple shared their spiritual moment on Instagram, showcasing a collection of crystals during the celestial event that reportedly illuminates inner creativity and emotional expression.
Spiritual Celebration Amidst Family Tensions
The full moon ceremony occurred on Sunday, aligning with the Celtic festival of Imbolc, which traditionally marks the beginning of spring and honours St Brigid, associated with fertility and healing. This spiritual practice serves as a symbolic gesture for nurturing positive change and personal growth. Meanwhile, Brooklyn's parents were in Paris celebrating Victoria's receipt of the Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters honour, an award recognising significant contributions to arts and literature.
Brooklyn's relationship with his family has been publicly fractured since last month, when he released a detailed six-page statement confirming his decision not to reconcile with David and Victoria. In this statement, he accused his parents of attempting to sabotage his marriage and controlling family narratives through media manipulation.
Lavish Lifestyle Contrasts with Family Drama
While the Beckham family attended Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week, Brooklyn and Nicola enjoyed an extravagant getaway at the San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, California. This luxurious resort is favoured by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, with rooms costing up to $2,595 per night. The couple shared romantic images from their stay, including photographs from an impressive wine cellar featuring rare vintages such as an 1831 Château d'Yquem worth approximately £17,000 per bottle.
Nicola Peltz, daughter of billionaire Nelson Peltz whose net worth exceeds $1.6 billion, reportedly receives a substantial monthly allowance that enables such lavish expenditures. This financial independence contrasts sharply with the Beckham family's reported attempts to control Brooklyn's finances, including alleged pressure to sign away rights to his name before his wedding.
Wedding Controversies and Public Accusations
Central to Brooklyn's grievances are incidents surrounding his 2022 wedding to Nicola. He claims Victoria cancelled Nicola's wedding dress design at the last minute and that family members made disparaging comments about his wife not being 'blood' family. Most notably, he alleges his mother hijacked their planned first dance, creating an uncomfortable and humiliating situation in front of 500 guests.
Brooklyn's statement further accuses his parents of valuing public promotion and brand management above genuine family relationships, describing 'performative social media posts' and 'inauthentic relationships' as fixtures of his upbringing. He maintains that since distancing himself from his family, he has found relief from lifelong anxiety.
Separate Celebrations Highlight Division
The contrasting celebrations underscore the family's division. In Paris, David and Victoria appeared with their three other children—Romeo, Cruz, and Harper—presenting a united front during Victoria's honour ceremony. Victoria specifically thanked her children for 'always believing in my vision' during her acceptance speech, despite Brooklyn's absence and recent accusations.
Brooklyn has consistently missed significant family events, including his father's 50th birthday celebration, the London launch of his mother's Netflix show, and David's investiture at Windsor Castle. His statement confirms these absences reflect a deliberate severing of ties rather than mere scheduling conflicts.
Career Paths and Future Directions
Both Brooklyn and Nicola continue to pursue their professional interests independently from the Beckham family. Nicola, who began acting in 2006 with roles in films like The Last Airbender and Transformers, recently made her writing and directorial debut with the film Lola. She is also promoting her upcoming role in the 2026 thriller Pretty Ugly.
Brooklyn has explored various career paths, including culinary ventures and photography, though his current focus appears to be on building a life with Nicola away from his family's influence. The couple's crystal ceremony represents their commitment to spiritual growth and personal peace amidst ongoing family tensions.
