A key insider from Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz’s lavish 2022 wedding is now speaking out amid the escalating feud between Brooklyn and his famous parents—and he’s firmly pushing back on claims that the couple fueled the drama behind the scenes.
Preston Bailey, the high-profile event planner behind the star-studded ceremony, has publicly defended Brooklyn and Nicola, saying the version of events currently dominating headlines doesn’t line up with what he personally witnessed. According to Bailey, Brooklyn’s recent public criticism of parents David and Victoria Beckham is completely out of character for the man he worked with during months of wedding planning.
Speaking to Page Six, Bailey said he was genuinely surprised by Brooklyn’s tone and allegations, describing him instead as kind, gentle, and deeply involved in the process. He recalled Brooklyn as thoughtful and respectful, someone who took the planning seriously and remained hands-on throughout, with no visible tension or family conflict at the time.
Bailey also directly addressed the long-running narrative that Nicola was a controlling or “bossy” bride, a claim that has followed her since the wedding. He dismissed that characterization outright, saying he observed nothing but affection and teamwork between the couple. While Nicola was often the final decision-maker on design elements, Bailey emphasized that she consistently sought Brooklyn’s input and approval before moving forward.
According to the planner, their dynamic was collaborative, not domineering, and reflected a partnership rather than power struggles. That portrayal sharply contrasts with recent allegations Brooklyn has made against his parents, including claims that his mother interfered with Nicola’s wedding dress plans and behaved inappropriately during the celebration.
Despite the accusations, David and Victoria Beckham have not directly responded in kind. Victoria recently accepted a major honor in Paris and spoke broadly about the importance of teamwork and family support, without naming Brooklyn. Her comments struck a markedly different tone from the public fallout unfolding online.
As the family dispute continues to play out in headlines, Bailey’s remarks add a rare perspective from someone who witnessed the couple at a pivotal moment—suggesting that the wedding itself may not have been the battleground many believe it was.
