Bash and Becks

Brooklyn’s THREE engagement parties to fit in all family pals

DAVID Beckham’s boy Brooklyn is getting a hat-trick of engagement parties – to avoid having to tackle any embarrassi­ng clashes between his parents’ liberal pals and Donald Trump.

Brooklyn, 21, got engaged last month to actress Nicola Peltz, 25, the daughter of American businessma­n Nelson Peltz.

The billionair­e is a prominent Trump backer and plans a bash for the lovebirds at his mansion in Palm Beach, Florida.

Those invited will include the controvers­ial right-wing US President and a string of other Republican­s.

So Brooklyn’s mum, Posh Spice Victoria, will hold a separate party in the UK for liberal friends she expects to be offended.

And Nicola is also having a party for pals in New York, close to where she lives.

A source close to Brooklyn said: “There have been a lot of logistical problems with Brooklyn and Nicola’s engagement parties.

“Nicola’s dad is friends with Trump and a lot of republican­s, which is the complete opposite to Victoria’s friends.

“She thinks many of her liberal friends won’t attend a bash with Trump so she is planning a party in the UK. So right now there is one in the UK, one in Florida and one in New York.

“And then, of course, there is all the planning for the actual wedding.”

Mr Peltz, 78, hosted a £7.6million Trump fundraiser in Palm Beach in February.

And the dad of 10 reportedly spent £1.5million on the bar mitzvah of twin sons Zachary and Gregory in 2016.

Meanwhile, the parties are not the only clash Brooklyn faces. His fashion designer mum Victoria, 46, has offered to handle the wedding dress. But Nicola has already been speaking to her rival Stella McCartney.

The source said: “It has the potential to cause tension. Victoria and Stella aren’t the best of friends.”
