Brooklyn Beckham attends 2024 Met Gala solo – explains wife Nicola Peltz’s absence

Brooklyn Beckham looked downcast as he made a solo appearance at the 2024 Met Gala on Monday.

The 25-year-old son of Victoria and David Beckham usually attends the annual fashion event with his wife, Nicola Peltz, 29, but he was forced to walk the carpet by himself this year.

Nicola wasn’t far from his mind though as just before his arrival, he revealed on his Instagram Story that he was “missing” his wife, who skipped the event to spend quality time with her grandmother.

“Missing my beautiful wife tonight as my date 🙁 but happy she’s with naunni x can’t wait to see you both tomorrow baby,” he wrote.

Nicola reshared his post and added the comment: “I love you baby you look so handsome.”

The actress was busy enjoying a “cupcake party” with her grandmother, and revealed in another post that they were “watching all the beautiful MET dresses together”.

Nicola’s grandmother has been battling with her health lately and her beloved granddaughter has been a constant by her side, even skipping mother-in-law Victoria’s 50th birthday celebrations last month when her ‘naunni’ became ill.

The pair are extremely close and Nicola recently penned a sweet tribute to her grandmother on Instagram. “I love being by your side,” Nicola wrote last month alongside photos of the pair.

“Thank you for choosing me to be your granddaughter I more than love you naunni. “Our time together is so precious to me. Thank you for teaching me how to love others so deeply and fiercely.”

She added: “There isn’t a moment next to you I take for granted. Your laugh is the best sound in the world and I want to hear it for the rest of my life.”
