What happened to the Beckhams in 2023? Netflix’s docu about David resurfaced the Rebecca Loos scandal, Victoria’s fashion label turned a profit, and Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz’s wedding lawsuit ended
This year, the media took a step back into the 90s when Posh and Becks were all the rage.
From the success of Victoria’s namesake fashion label, to the settlement of Brooklyn’s messy wedding lawsuit, here is a recap of what the year 2023 looked like for the all-conquering Beckhams.
1. Romeo Beckham’s football deal
David, now 48, won many trophies and captained England at three international tournaments during his career.
His son Romeo is seemingly on the same path. Last season, he joined Premier League club Brentford on a six-month loan from Inter Miami, a Major League Soccer club co-owned by his dad.

2. The Nicola Peltz/Brooklyn Beckham wedding lawsuit
Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham tied the knot in April 2022.
The US$3.5 million ceremony was the wedding of the year, but unfortunately it led to an ugly court battle between the bride’s billionaire father, Nelson Peltz, and wedding planners Nicole Braghin and Arianna Grijalba.
The billionaire sued the wedding planners last December for refusing to return a US$159,000 deposit after they were fired nine days into the job.
Braghin and Grijalba fired a countersuit in February of this year, but the drama has since been put to rest.
According to People, in September this year, the parties released a joint statement that the legal battle has at long last come to an end.
3. Victoria Beckham makes a profit for the first time
Victoria, 49, proudly announced in October this year that her namesake fashion and beauty brand finally turned a profit for the first time since its launch in 2008.
According to British media, the business has borrowed close to US$38 million from the Beckham empire to stay afloat over the past 15 years.

5. David Beckham pulls off “the biggest moves in American sporting history”

“Bringing Leo Messi to Inter Miami, to MLS, the year after he wins the World Cup, to a team that is three years old … it’s a hell of an achievement,” he said.
The decision has already paid off. Messi’s early-season goalscoring form helped the team win the Leagues Cup in August, earning Miami its first title in club history.
