Nicola Peltz shares tribute to her wedding dress designer Valentino following his death …. as husband Brooklyn Beckham wages war on ‘fake’ family in online rant

Nicola Peltz paid tribute to fashion icon Valentino Garavani, who died in Rome at the age of 93 on Monday.

The 31-year-old heiress shared photos on her Instagram Stories of the designer, who designed her dress with her husband, 26-year-old Brooklyn Beckham, for her 2022 wedding.

Her post comes after Brooklyn’s explosive rant, which accused celebrity Victoria and David of ‘endlessly trying to end’ his relationship with Nicola, and claimed his mother backed out of designing her bride’s dress at the last minute.

Valentino Clemente Ludovico Garavani, better known as Valentino, has dressed everyone from Kim Kardashian to Princess Diana to former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy during his incredible six-decade career.

He was renowned for his impeccable tailoring, sumptuous dresses and use of the distinctive shade of red now universally known as ‘Valentino red’.

His foundation took to Instagram to confirm the tragic news and confirm that his body would be removed ahead of a funeral service on Friday at the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri in Rome’s Piazza della Repubblica.

The 31-year-old heiress shared photos of the designer, who designed her dress with her husband, 26-year-old Brooklyn Beckham, on her Instagram Stories for her 2022 wedding.

Brooklyn launched a surprising attack on his parents as they finally addressed their long-running fight.

The rising chef released a six-page statement on Instagram on Monday night, saying he did not want to reconcile with his family and was standing up for himself “for the first time in my life.”

Brooklyn and his wife Nicola have been at the center of an acrimonious split in recent months that has seen them reject all major family celebrations, including his father David’s milestone 50th birthday and his knighthood.

Not one to hold back, the chef went so far as to say that he is ‘controlled by a family that values ​​publicity above all else’ and that since being with Nicola he has found ‘peace and relief’ after struggling with crippling anxiety.

The chief said the cracks in the family began around the time of their wedding in April 2022, claiming his mother Victoria, 51, and father David were ‘working non-stop’ to destroy their relationship.

Brooklyn also claimed Victoria, who has her own fashion label, canceled making Nicola’s wedding dress at the ‘eleventh hour’ and missed their first dance, which left her so ’embarrassed’ that they decided to renew their vows without her family last year.

She also hit out at her father, who said he was in the UK to attend David’s 50th celebrations, but claimed repeated requests to see him beforehand were ignored and “when he finally agreed to meet me, it was on the condition that Nicola wasn’t invited”.

In an enthusiastic statement, Brooklyn wrote: ‘I have remained silent for years and have made every effort to keep these matters private.

Her post comes after an explosive rant accusing Brooklyn mum Victoria of backing out of designing her bride’s dress at the last minute as the internet raged

‘Unfortunately my family and their team continued to go to the press, leaving me no choice but to speak out for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that were printed.

‘I don’t want to make peace with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.’

‘My entire life, my family has controlled the media narratives about our family.

‘Performant social media posts, family events, and inauthentic relationships were a fixture of the life I was born into.

‘Recently, I have seen with my own eyes how far they will go to spread countless lies to the media, often at the expense of innocent people, in order to protect their own image. But I believe the truth always comes out.’

Brooklyn delivered his wedding speech to Nicola, claiming there had been repeated attempts to ruin their relationship.

Rumors of tension first emerged after the actress wore a stunning Couture Valentino wedding dress, following previous reports that she would be wearing Victoria’s design.

Brooklyn wrote: ‘My parents have been trying non-stop to destroy my relationship since my wedding and it hasn’t stopped.

‘Despite how excited she was to wear Nicola’s design, my mother canceled making Nicola’s dress at the eleventh hour, forcing her to find a new dress urgently.’

‘In the weeks before our big day, my family repeatedly pressured and tried to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would affect me, my wife and our future children.

‘They were insistent that I sign the contract before my wedding date because then the terms of the agreement would come into effect.

‘My extension affected the payday and they have never treated me the same since.

‘During the wedding planning my mother went so far as to call me “bad” because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra and Nicola’s Naunni at our table because neither of them had a husband. Both our parents had their own desk equally adjacent to ours.

‘The night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was ‘not blood related’ and ‘not family’.

‘From the moment I started defending myself with my family, I received countless attacks from my family, both private and public, sent to the press at their behest.

‘Even my siblings were sent to attack me on social media, then suddenly blocked me last summer.’

Cruz previously claimed that he blocked his entire family on social media following reports that Brooklyn had unfollowed him.

‘My mother and father never follow their son… Let’s get the facts right. “They woke up just like me…blocked,” Cruz wrote.

Brooklyn went on to talk about her first dance at her wedding to Nicola, who she claimed was kidnapped by her mother.

He said he was “so disturbed and humiliated” that they decided to renew their vows on their third wedding anniversary.

Her family, including her brothers Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and sister Harper, 14, were not there to watch her renew her vows on Aug. 2 in New York’s Westchester County.

Brooklyn continued: ‘In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage; I was supposed to have a romantic dance with my wife in the program, but my mother was waiting to dance with me instead. He danced with me in a very inappropriate way in front of everyone.

‘I have never felt so uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life. ‘We wanted to renew our vows so that we could create new memories of our wedding day that brought us joy and happiness, not anxiety and shame.’

Brooklyn explained why they didn’t attend his father’s 50th birthday party in May last year.

Victoria went all out for David’s big day; It started with a family party in the Cotswolds, followed by a 24-hour trip to her favorite vineyard in France, and capped it all off with a star-studded dinner at a restaurant in London.

The footballer’s eldest son was conspicuously absent as the family celebrated with A-list friends, including Tom Cruise and David’s former team-mates, at the three-Michelin-starred Core in Kensington, West London.

Brooklyn said: ‘No matter how hard we try to get together, my family constantly disrespects my partner. My mother repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable.

‘Despite this, we still went to London for my dad’s birthday and were denied for a week while trying to plan to spend quality time with him in our hotel room. He rejected all our attempts, except for a big birthday party with hundreds of guests and cameras on every corner.

‘When he finally agreed to meet me it was on the condition that Nicola would not be invited. This was a slap in the face. Later, when my parents went to Los Angeles, they refused to see me at all.’

Brooklyn concluded: ‘My family values ​​public exposure and support above all else. Brand Beckham comes first.

‘Family “love” is determined by how much you post on social media or how quickly you drop everything to pose for a family photo, even at the expense of our professional obligations.

‘For years we have gone out of our way to show up and support our ‘perfect family’ at every fashion show, every party and every press event. However, when my wife asked my mother for support in rescuing dogs displaced during the Los Angeles fires, my mother refused.

‘The narrative that my partner controls me is completely opposite. I have been controlled by my family for most of my life.

‘I grew up with great anxiety. For the first time in my life since I moved away from my family, this anxiety has disappeared. I wake up every morning with gratitude for the life I chose, I have found peace and relief.

‘My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, the press or manipulation. All we want is peace, privacy and happiness for ourselves and our future family.’
