This heartwarming tribute to their 2020 engagement arrives shortly after a confidant close to the duo shed light on an incident during their 2022 wedding ceremony that exacerbated tensions with Brooklyn's parents, who are also the proud caregivers of Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper Beckham, 13.

"Brooklyn and Nicola were led to believe that Marc Anthony would honor them with their first dance," an insider revealed to E! News in May.

They even forwent the prestigious Met Gala in the hope of celebrating with the retired soccer legend.
