Sir Elton John picks a side! Brooklyn Beckham’s godfather risks his 30 year friendship with David and Victoria after posting a sweet anniversary message to the chef and his wife Nicola Peltz as family rift deepens

Elton John and David Furnish have picked their sides in the escalating Beckham family feud.

Even after a friendship spanning more than three decades with David and Victoria Beckham, Sir Elton John surprisingly expressed strong backing for his godson Brooklyn Beckham and his wife, Nicola Peltz.

On Monday, Brooklyn posted a heartfelt tribute to his American actress spouse, celebrating five years since their engagement, which he called “the best decision I’ve made.

Although his parents haven’t liked any social media posts about it, his godfather Elton was among the top commenters, tagging both individuals and writing “Happy Anniversary to the sweetest and most loving pair!

Previously, David, his spouse, had sweetly included a personal note, saying ‘Celebrating another beautiful anniversary to this stunning pair of lovebirds.’

It’s quite likely that Sir Elton John and his husband’s open display of support might stir up some tension within the Beckham household, given their extended history of friendship with Brooklyn’s parents.

In their football-filled friendship, David fondly refers to the musician as ‘Uncle Elton’.

In 1999, Sir Elton John was initially scheduled to perform at the Beckhams’ wedding, but unfortunately, he had a heart attack which forced him to cancel his appearance. However, he did sing at one of their children’s christening ceremonies later on.

Previously, Victoria openly shared that Elton John was the one who motivated her to part ways with the Spice Girls. In a heartfelt letter to her former self, she admitted that witnessing her friend perform stirred within her the realization that her destiny extended beyond singing.

Victoria and David have lately extended gestures of peace through social media using the olive branch, by tagging their son in Father’s Day posts.

But the family feud has continued to rumble on, with celeb friends now picking sides.

Last week, a rift between Nicola and her husband’s family brought about an unexpected friendship when Yolanda Hadid stood by Victoria.

For about a year, the actress, aged 30 at the time, went out with Anwar, who was then 17. However, it seems that his family found their significant age difference to be a cause for concern.

In a show of support Yolanda, 61, shared a love heart underneath David’s knighthood announcement.

Although there’s no known account of a connection between the two matriarchs in public records, it’s plausible that she empathizes with their situation due to her personal experiences of a difficult relationship with the actor from the Bates Motel series during her romance with Anwar.

In a heartfelt Father’s Day post on Instagram, David expressed that he would remain steadfast through any circumstances, conveying ‘I’ll never leave your side.’

He posted photos featuring Victoria and their offspring – Brooklyn (aged 26), Romeo (22), Cruz (20), and Harper (13) – all smiles and laughter from more joyful moments in the past.

In a gentle manner, David made it clear that he would remain available to aid his oldest son, Brooklyn, should difficult times arise, assuring him of his constant presence and support.

As an utterly devoted father, my dearest role and greatest joy in life revolves around being your dad. Every fiber of my being swells with pride at each one of you, and just as Daddy (apologies to the boys) reminds you daily, I’ll stand by you through thick and thin.

Dear Mum, thank you for playing the crucial role in making me a father. There’s no greater gift life can offer than becoming a dad… Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing dads out there, including my own… I love you kids more deeply than words can express… #VictoriaBeckham #BrooklynPeltzBeckham #RomeoBeckham #CruzBeckham #HarperSeven @TedBeckhamDavid

Cruz replied to his father’s post with this message: ‘Dad, you are incredibly important to us and we draw inspiration from you each day. My love for you is immense.’

On Father’s Day, Victoria paid a heartfelt tribute to her husband David, yet the sentiments extended to their firstborn, Brooklyn, as well. She made sure to reach out to him affectionately.

In the meantime, it’s been indicated that Nicola takes great pleasure in Brooklyn’s loyalty, and this apparent affection might have contributed significantly to the family dispute, which intensified when they failed to attend David’s 50th birthday festivities recently.

A friend mentioned, “He’ll do whatever Nicola asks.” It’s certainly been noticeable in recent events.

This week, I’ve noticed various clips surfacing online showcasing a couple’s interactions at high-profile events. These videos have sparked discussions among social media users, leading some to label my behavior as “obsessive” due to what appears to be peculiar actions.

A popular video clip depicted the pair attending Victoria Beckham’s fashion week event in Paris the previous year, a time when their communication was still open.

In the past, Brooklyn confessed that he often strives to coordinate his attire with Nicola as he genuinely enjoys this act. On this occasion, Brooklyn donned a nearly identical white shirt and bow tie, just like his spouse.

While strolling together with linked arms amidst a throng of people, it was noticed that Nicola momentarily detached to embrace someone else. For a short while, Brooklyn seemed anxious on her own, but upon her return, she was tightly hugged by Brooklyn and he buried his face in her ear.

In other footage, they displayed the pair attending the Met Gala in 2021 and 2023. On each visit, Brooklyn was observed attempting to conceal himself by holding up the lengthy train of her lavish dress.

A popular video from 2023 featured an interview with Cosmopolitan magazine where Nicola attempted to guess some pet peeves of Brooklyn.

Her first (correct) answer is: ‘When I don’t say I love you back in five seconds?’

That wasn’t exactly what I had in mind, but it does bother me.
