Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham quietly renewed their vows on August 2 in Westchester County, sharing intimate photos from the morning of the ceremony that highlighted family and personal touches — and underscored ongoing tensions with Brooklyn’s parents.
The couple, who originally married in April 2022 in a lavish ceremony, posted images on Instagram captioned “only love.” Nicola, 30, shared photos of herself preparing for the day with her mother, model Claudia Heffner Peltz, including one shot in which she posed topless beside her 70-year-old mother. For the vow renewal Nicola wore Claudia’s vintage 1985 wedding dress; her father Nelson Peltz, 83, officiated the service.
Brooklyn, 26, described the day as “a really beautiful experience,” saying he could renew his vows “every single day,” and called the event “a really cute memory.” The renewal featured longer vows than at their original wedding — Brooklyn joked he’ll have to “find space” for them, since his first set of vows is tattooed on his arm. The smaller, personal ceremony included the couple’s four dogs and avoided the grand scale of their 2022 wedding.
The new photos also show Nicola wearing the same original ring set reportedly valued at $1.8 million. The couple shared a casual video of the proposal on TikTok, and Brooklyn has spoken about cooking and family life as central to how they like to spend time together.
The vow renewal took place amid a widely reported rift between Brooklyn and his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, who were absent from the event. The families have reportedly been strained since the lead-up to the 2022 wedding — when Nicola did not wear a dress by Victoria Beckham — and tensions were said to have continued after. Media coverage has also noted the Beckhams were holidaying off the Tuscan coast around the same time the vow renewal took place. Brooklyn and Nicola have publicly celebrated Nicola’s father Nelson on social media.
Brooklyn has been developing his own business interests since their marriage, including a hot sauce brand, Cloud23, which he says was inspired and encouraged by Nicola. He’s spoken about cooking as a favorite pastime and described how the hot sauce began as a late-night experiment that turned into a product line.

Logical context/commentary:
– Wearing her mother’s vintage gown carried personal and symbolic weight — a revival of family tradition and a quieter, more intimate choice than a high-profile designer gown. Given the reported estrangement from Brooklyn’s parents, the choice of family heirloom and having Nicola’s father officiate framed the day as focused on close family and personal significance rather than public spectacle.
– Private vow renewals can serve as a way for couples to reaffirm commitment in a more personal setting, especially after a large, highly publicized wedding.
Brief summary:
Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham privately renewed their vows on August 2 in Westchester County. Nicola wore her mother’s 1985 wedding dress and her father officiated; the ceremony was small and personal, and the couple described it as a beautiful, memorable experience. The event occurred amid a public estrangement between Brooklyn and his parents, who were not present.
Hopeful angle:
The renewal underscores the couple’s focus on family, intimacy, and building their life together — from sentimental wardrobe choices to cooking and business ventures they share. Choosing a quieter, meaningful celebration can be seen as a reaffirmation of their partnership and priorities away from public drama.
