Sir Elton John appears to have chosen a clear side in the fiery feud between Brooklyn Beckham and wife Nicola Peltz and the rest of the Beckham clan. The 78-year-old, who is the godfather of David and Victoria’s eldest son, paid tribute to the Peltz Beckhams as they recently celebrated the five year anniversary of their engagement in their latest social media post.
Aspiring chef Brooklyn, 26, took to Instagram to gush over his wife, 30, as he shared an old mirror selfie of them together where he can be seen affectionately kissing a posing Nicola on the cheek. His caption read: “It’s been 5 years since I asked this beautiful woman to marry me xx best decision ever x I love you so much.”
Brooklyn’s loved up post racked in hundreds of thousands of well wishes from fans but it was one prominent comment from Sir Elton that caught everyone’s eye. The Rocketman star tagged both Brooklyn and Nicola as he left a sweet comment: “Happy Anniversary to the sweetest, most loving couple,” alongside a few red heart emojis.
His telling comment has now raised eyebrows about the state of his current relationship with Brooklyn’s parents, David and Victoria, who he is known to be very close with, considering he is both Brooklyn and Romeo’s godfather.
Elton and Victoria’s relationship in particular spans back over three decades after he famously made a cameo in the 1997 Spice World film.
The fashion designer even once revealed she had been inspired to leave Spice Girls by Elton in a moving letter as she wrote to her future self, admitting that watching him sing and dance made her realise it wasn’t for her.
Victoria wrote: “Remember years ago, watching your dear friend Elton John on stage in Las Vegas? He performed ‘Tiny Dancer’, as if it were the first time, and you realised this was like oxygen for him.
“It was a life-changing moment — while singing and dancing was fun for you, it wasn’t your passion. That day, you started your quest to uncover your own dreams. It was time to step away from being a Spice Girl.”
Elton and the Beckhams are so close they have even holidayed together many times with David and Victoria’s four children, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper, even referring to the iconic singer as Uncle Elton.
However, the once very tight knit family are now falling apart as Brooklyn and Nicola are now at the centre of an ongoing feud with the rest of the Beckham clan.
Their feud was first noted when the aspiring chef snubbed all of his father’s 50th birthday celebrations last month but things have since escalated even further when Brooklyn decided to make a permanent move to LA after recently purchasing a home there with Nicola.
The 26-year-old also failed to publicly acknowledge his father’s knighthood, an honour he has been yearning for for many years, as well as snubbing him online on Father’s Day.
However, he did manage to wish Nicola Peltz’s father, Nelson, a Happy Birthday on his Instagram Stories yesterday in a huge blow to David.
Brooklyn also appears to have fallen out with his siblings after it was speculated that the reason he had fallen out with his family was due to his brother Romeo’s relationship with his now ex, Kim Turnbull.
Kim had a brief romantic history with Brooklyn and the Peltz Beckhams were said to not be happy the DJ was being invited to family events such as David’s 50th, which fuelled speculation that her presence had been the reason for the couple’s absence.

Romeo, 22, and Kim recently called it quits but Brooklyn’s other brother Cruz, 20, has also seemingly taken a swipe at his older sibling.
The aspiring singer appeared to make a dig at Brooklyn’s multiple career attempts after one of his TikTok followers left a comment under a video of him playing guitar.
It read: “Are you going to stick with this job or going to become a race car driver next or something?”
In what appears to be a brutal dig towards Brooklyn, Cruz replied: “Wrong, brother, mate.”
