Brooklyn Beckham has revealed the playful nickname he calls his wife Nicola Peltz while celebrating his 27th birthday with a lavish, love-filled party.
The aspiring chef – and eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham – marked the milestone earlier this week with a celebration organised by Nicola, 31. The actress later shared a string of affectionate photos from the evening on Instagram, showing the couple looking smitten as they cuddled up and kissed for the camera.
For the glamorous occasion, Nicola wore a striking black halterneck gown that showed a glimpse of sideboob as she leaned in to plant kisses on her husband. She captioned the post: “last night was so special thank you to everyone who came and made it so perfect.”
But it was the final line of her message that caught fans’ attention. Nicola wrote: “we all love you so much brooklyn!” – a phrase some followers interpreted as a subtle dig at the Beckham family, who are known for frequently declaring their love for one another in social media tributes.
While fans flooded the comment section with birthday wishes for Brooklyn, the most popular response came from the man himself.
Replying directly to Nicola’s post, he affectionately wrote: “My sexy little pepper xx.”
The cheeky nickname quickly became the highlight of the comments section, attracting hundreds of likes from amused fans who praised the couple’s chemistry. One admirer wrote: “Agree! The third picture is smoking. Wow!” while another gushed: “best couple!!”
The romantic celebration comes amid ongoing tensions between Brooklyn and his famous parents. The couple have been locked in a bitter feud with David and Victoria Beckham for months, with the conflict escalating earlier this year when Brooklyn posted a lengthy statement accusing his parents of manipulating the narrative around their family.
Despite the strained relationship, David and Victoria both publicly wished their son a happy birthday on Instagram. Sharing childhood photos, David wrote: “27 today. Happy Birthday Bust. We love you x,” using Brooklyn’s childhood nickname.
Victoria also posted a tribute, writing: “happy birthday Brooklyn, we love you so much,” alongside a smiling throwback photo of the pair.
However, reports suggest the public messages did not sit well with Brooklyn. A source claimed that he and Nicola were disappointed that his parents chose to post their birthday wishes online rather than reach out privately.
According to insiders, Brooklyn had previously asked that any communication from his family should go through lawyers following their dramatic fallout.
Despite the tension, Brooklyn did respond warmly to Nicola’s birthday tribute. In her message she wrote: “Happy birthday baby… I hope all your dreams and wishes come true! you light up every room you walk into and anyone who knows you loves you… you’re the most special human and I love being your wife. I love you I love you I love you.”
Brooklyn replied simply: “I love you baby girl.”
Nicola also went all out to celebrate her husband’s big day with a pink-themed surprise, gifting him doughnuts iced with the words “Happy Birthday Brooklyn,” alongside flowers and a mountain of presents wrapped in paper referencing his hot sauce brand, Cloud 23.
The name itself is a nod to the iconic number 23 worn by David Beckham during his football career – a subtle reminder that even as the family feud continues to simmer, Brooklyn’s famous heritage still lingers in the background.
