But Brooklyn is in his own bubble with wife Nicola Peltz, and has now gushed how he “gets to do life” with her in yet another backhanded swipe directed at his family.

“6 years ago I asked my best friend to marry me,” he began.

“You are my girl, my beautiful wife, and my whole heart.

“Every day with you feels like the best adventure, and I still can’t believe I get to do life with you.

“You make everything brighter, funnier, sweeter, and more magical just by being you.

“I can’t wait to keep laughing, dreaming, and staying young with you forever.

“I love you more than words, Nicola,” he concluded.

Nicola commented on the post swiftly, writing: “I couldn’t possibly love you more. You’re my world, my rock and my soulmate.

“I love you a million times over and I love being your wife. Thank you for loving me so perfectly. My forever.”

Flocking to the comments, many fans were supportive of the pair.

One person wrote: “Awwww Happy Anniversary beautiful soulmates.”

While another penned: “Well done for putting your wife first, no one knows what goes on behind closed doors. Glad you are making each other happy.”

But others appeared to slam Brooklyn while supporting his mum and dad amid the rumbling family feud.

“Is that all you do all day, talk about how much you love your wife? We’ve all heard it by now,” said one.

“Team Posh all the way. Respect your parents,” penned a second.

This comes after both David and Victoria both marked Father’s Day by sharing snaps of all of their children – including Brooklyn.

But Brooklyn was left disgruntled by the posts which included him.

An insider told The Sun: “He’s fuming about it.

“He’s asked them to leave him alone and they just keep posting him.

“It just brings the whole thing up all over again. He wishes they’d leave it and leave him alone.”

The feud is rumbling on despite it being five months since Brooklyn unleashed his nuclear attack on his parents via an Instagram statement.

In a scathing statementBrooklyn told how he grew up with “overwhelming anxiety” having been “controlled” by his parents most of his life.

His initial statement read: “I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private.

“Unfortunately my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.

“I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.”

He then went on to recall the night of his wedding and how his mother danced in an “inappropriate way”.

Brooklyn also sent his parents David and Victoria a legal notice warning they can now contact him only via lawyers.

The extraordinary “desist” letter also instructed them not to “tag” him on social media.
