She had her big day over 20 years ago but now Victoria Beckham is in wedding planning mode again – this time for eldest son Brooklyn. We’re told that 20-year-old Brooklyn is preparing to propose to his girlfriend of five months Nicola Peltz after deciding that she is The One and doesn’t want to waste any time. And while dad David has his reservations about it moving too fast, mum Victoria couldn’t be happier.
“After his last relationship [with model Hana Cross], Victoria is just so happy that Brooklyn is with someone who she considers the perfect match for him,” our Beckham insider says. “Nicola is beautiful, rich, well brought up, ambitious, hardworking and so respectful - and gets on great with her. It's the first girl that Brooklyn has been with that Victoria is thinking 'nail that down', she just doesn't think he could find anyone more perfect.
“She comes from a seriously wealthy New York family, has a lot of connections and is exactly the type of girl Vic imagined her beloved son marrying. She also knows it would be the wedding of the year and she has so many ideas already.”
Brooklyn began dating Nicola, 24, last autumn and they quickly became inseparable with he budding photographer is often gushing about her Instagram, saying she completes him and is the love of his life. He also wants to get married young like his parents, who got engaged after six months when Victoria was 23 and David was 22. However, former footballer David thinks Brooklyn should be more established in his career first.
