Goodbye Brooklyn Beckham and hello Brooklyn Peltz Beckham

Brooklyn Beckham has confirmed that he has changed his name following his marriage to actress Nicola Peltz.

Beckham Jr tied the knot with Bates Motel star Nicola Peltz on April 9 at a star-studded ceremony. While possible name changes were rumoured, the eldest son of former footballer David Beckham and Spice Girl Victoria Beckham made it Instagram official via a recent post.

“Mr. & Mrs. Peltz Beckham,” the 23-year-old wrote to his 13.6m followers. He also changed his official Instagram tag to accommodate the name change, just in case you go looking.

We polled our readers on Twitter and at the time of writing, 62 per cent of you would ask your partner to take your name. In contrast, just nine per cent would take their partner’s last name and 29 per cent would double-barrel it.

The wedding itself was a hotspot for British talent. Both Melanie C and Melanie B were in attendance but Baby Spice Emma Bunton was not seen at the ceremony. Chef Gordon Ramsey was also pictured alongside tennis superstar Serena Williams.

Wishing the couple good fortune on Instagram, socialite Paris Hilton wrote: “Congratulations!”

The Peltz Beckham wedding is still the talk of Twitter, where one person pointed out: “You can literally identify different stages of Becks during his career by just looking at his kids.”

Others reference Brooklyn’s various passions that famously include cooking and photography, the latter he showcased in a photography book that went viral.

“Whenever someone wants me to explain privilege, I just point them to Brooklyn Beckham’s photography book,” wrote creative director Nathalie Gordon.

Another commented: “I hope Brooklyn Beckham’s doing the photography and catering at his wedding though.”
