Brooklyn Beckham recently used his Instagram platform to rebuke critics who targeted his wife, Nicola Peltz, with comments about her weight. The exchange occurred during a cooking tutorial where the 27-year-old also faced significant backlash over his culinary techniques.
The 'disgraceful' attack on Nicola Peltz's appearance
While sharing a cookery tutorial on Instagram, Brooklyn Beckham encountered a follower who questioned why Nicola Peltz looked "sickly" and suggested that she needed to be fed. In a sharp response, Brooklyn Beckham described the act of commenting on a woman's body as "disgraceful," asserting that Nicola Peltz is "absolutely beautiful."
This public defense highlights the ongoing scrutiny faced by Nicola Peltz, 31, who has frequently been the target of body-shaming comments since her marriage to Brooklyn Beckham in 2022. The interaction underscores a recurring theme in the couple's public life: a defensive psoture against a digital audience that often scrutinizes their relationship and appearance.
From seawater pasta to the Cloud 23 promotion
The defense of his wife was overshadowed by a wave of culinary criticism from followers. According to the report, viewers of the tutorial criticized Brooklyn Beckham's method of preparing a mince meat and potato dish, noting that the meat was not drained properly and the mash appeared too wet. Some users even questioned why Brooklyn Beckham boiled his potatoes with the skin on, only to remove it afterward.
These errors follow a previous controversy involving a pasta dish. As the report says, Brooklyn Beckham previously horrified fans by using seawater to boil pasta while staying on a luxury yacht. This specific clip was used to promote his hot sauce brand, Cloud 23, but instead resulted in viewers mocking the "dodgy" water and the simplicity of the meal, with some jokingly asking if he could demonstrate how to make a glass of water next.
The shadow of David Beckham's six-month Italian culinary course
Brooklyn Beckham's aspirations in the kitchen appear to be an attempt to emulate his father, David Beckham. This pursuit of culinary legitimacy is a family trait; David Beckham told The Times in 2013 that he completed a six-month professional culinary course while living in Italy, where he focused on perfecting risotto and authentic ragu.
The contrast between David Beckham's formal training and Brooklyn Beckham's self-described status as a non-professional who simply "loves cooking and eating" has become a point of ridicule for social media users. This dynamic reflects a broader trend of celebrity children attempting to enter specialized trades—such as professional cooking—without the traditional apprenticeship or training that their parents may have sought.
Why the April 2022 wedding is no longer celebrated
Beyond the kitchen, the couple's personal history remains a subject of speculation. The source mentions that Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz reportedly no longer celebrate their original April 2022 wedding because of the "bad memories" associated with the event. While they renewed their vows last year, the original ceremony is allegedly not an occasion they look back on fondly.
Several specific details remain unverified or missing from the narrative. It is unclear exactly what constitutes these "bad memories" or which specific family members contributed to the reported feud. Furthermore, the report relies on unnamed "sources close to the couple," leaving the actual motivations behind their decision to ignore their first anniversary anniversary unconfirmed by Brooklyn Beckham or Nicola Peltz themselves.
