Brooklyn Beckham says his relationship with wife Nicola Peltz didn’t get off to a smooth start.
The aspiring chef and entrepreneur, 26, admitted as much in a 2025 video interview with Glamor, saying the pair “didn’t get along” when they first met at Coachella nearly a decade ago.
It was Nicola, 31, who first said they ‘didn’t get along’, to which Brooklyn agreed, explaining that although they were both attracted to each other, they were barely speaking at the time.
Brooklyn said their dynamic changed years later when he visited Los Angeles for Halloween in 2019. The two met again at a party and he described that period as the moment he fell in love.
During the interview he turned to Nicola and told her directly that this was the moment when his feelings deepened. “And that’s when I fell in love with you, you know,” he said, looking at her.
Brooklyn’s enthusiasm was not reciprocated by Nicola as she replied: ‘Yes. That was all true, that was all factual.”
Brooklyn didn’t seem convinced by her answer, but added, “And we’ve been inseparable ever since,” playfully slapping his wife’s leg.
The moment has since been widely shared on social media, with viewers questioning the couple’s chemistry and interpreting Nicola’s reserved responses as emotionally distant. Others suggested that her behavior could simply mean that she is specifically uncomfortable in front of the camera.
The clip has resurfaced at a time when the couple’s relationship with Brooklyn’s family is under scrutiny. That tension recently escalated after Brooklyn shared a lengthy Instagram statement accusing his parents of controlling behavior and claiming they were interfering in his marriage.
David and Victoria Beckham have not publicly responded to the claims.
