Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz tie the knot this weekend, in what is set to be the celebrity wedding of the year, but will their marriage last a lifetime?
Ahead of Victoria and David Beckham's eldest son exchanging vows with billionaire heir Nicola on Saturday, body language expert and author Judi James has examined the betrothed couple and given her expert opinion on their "fiery relationship".
Brooklyn, 23, and the Motel Bates actress, 27, recently sat down with British Vogue for a playful game of Mr and Mrs - going head-to-head to find out who knows the other better before getting hitched.
As they discussed their shared love of Gilmore Girls, Brooklyn's guilty pleasure being NFTs and dream honeymoon destinations, Judi observed all the tell-tale signs and hints that Nicola is the one "primarily in charge in this relationship".
"Their body language defines them as personality opposites: with his wide leg-splay and slumped torso, his deep, lazy vocal tone and his part-shut eyes, Brooklyn is the ultimate laid-back guy to Nicola’s upright, elegant and rather dominant energy," the body language expert exclusively told the Mirror.
"Their photos on social media have always tended to be emphasising the sexual side of their relationship but they seem much more coy about showing us the romantic or loving side here with only sporadic eye contact or glances at one another and no truncated gestures to suggest a desire to touch over the wide space their seats are creating."
She continued: "Despite Brooklyn’s sense of calm he does appear to be the more childish one of the couple, even starting their ‘test’ by offering a handshake that he quickly pulls away before she can take it.
"The fact she then calls him an ‘ass’ suggests this could be quite a fiery relationship at times. She also rolls her eyes about his use of the word ‘obviously’ and when she starts to use her pen to make and emphasise her points the suggestion is that she is primarily in charge in this relationship."
Judi added: "This seems to suit Brooklyn, who describes himself as ‘sensitive’ and says he will be the one to cry at their wedding.
"He looks quietly but deeply smitten, like a man who is trying to play it a bit cool and act grown-up by playing down his emotions and she looks like a confident woman who has the whole wedding happily sorted, including her husband-to-be."
Brooklyn and Nicola will exchange vows this Saturday in a star-studded ceremony in Florida, after the aspiring photographer and budding chef popped the question to the actress in June 2020.
Victoria and David Beckham's firstborn - who attended his parent's wedding as a newborn in 1999 - has previously admitted he and his wife-to-be would be "married already" if it wasn't for Covid-19 restrictions and lockdowns.
Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, the Spice Girls, actress Eva Longeria are just some of the famous names rumoured to be invited to the lavish wedding this weekend.
Sadly, long-time Beckham family friend Sir Elton John looks unlikely to be able to attend, due to his farewell tour dates clashing with his godson's nuptials.
