Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz have once again presented a united front to the world, sharing an intimate snap on social media amidst growing calls from fans for the 26-year-old to reconcile with his famous family.
A Coordinated Display of Unity
On Monday, Nicola Peltz, 30, took to Instagram to post a picture of the couple snuggled together on a sofa, both dressed in matching grey outfits. The actress captioned the image, 'We didn't plan our outfits', while Brooklyn commented beneath with the affectionate term 'my sweetie pie'. This public display of closeness comes at a time of intense scrutiny over their relationship with the wider Beckham clan.
The post followed a significant family event from which Brooklyn was conspicuously absent. Just two days earlier, the rest of the Beckham family attended the wedding of Holly Ramsay and Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty in the UK. Brooklyn and Nicola chose to remain at their home in Los Angeles, thousands of miles away.
The Roots of the Rift and Fan Reaction
The couple are reported to have had no contact with Brooklyn's side of the family for several months. The rift is said to have escalated after Brooklyn missed his father David's milestone 50th birthday celebration. The comment section of their latest post was flooded with pleas from concerned followers urging Brooklyn to mend fences.
Fans posted messages such as 'Call your parents, life is too short' and 'Never forget where you came from'. The public pressure highlights the ongoing narrative of a deep-seated family dispute.
Adding fuel to the fire, Brooklyn's younger brother Cruz, 20, recently clarified social media rumours. He stated that his parents, Sir David and Victoria Beckham, did not unfollow Brooklyn; rather, they, along with Cruz himself, woke up to find Brooklyn had blocked them on his accounts.
Pointed Posts and a Grinch-Themed Message
While his family celebrated in the UK, Brooklyn shared a seemingly pointed, Grinch-themed post from LA. Hours after their couple's snap, Nicola appeared to weigh in on the situation indirectly. She shared a quote from the late actress Brigitte Bardot, which read: 'If I could do anything about the way people behave towards each other, I would, but since I can't I'll stick to the animals.'
This follows another perceived dig from Nicola, who previously posted a stylish selfie captioned 'Love being home' as she and Brooklyn stayed in LA during the wedding. The couple have been absent from numerous Beckham family gatherings over the past year, including birthdays, parties, and holidays.
Reports suggest that Brooklyn is waiting for an apology from his parents directed at his wife. A source claimed this week that David and Victoria had 'targeted' Nicola during a 'briefing war' and must acknowledge the pain caused if they wish to repair the relationship. The source emphasised, 'The person who caused the pain does not get to decide when they declare it is over.'
As the public saga continues, the couple's coordinated social media presence seems designed to project strength and solidarity, even as the appeals for a family reconciliation grow louder.
