Actress and heiress Nicola Peltz has offered her followers a glimpse into 'beautiful moments' with her husband Brooklyn Beckham, even as their reported rift with his famous parents, David and Victoria Beckham, shows no sign of abating.
Birthday Tributes Amidst Tension
Celebrating her 31st birthday last Friday, Peltz took to Instagram to share images of extravagant bouquets of roses, believed to be gifts from her 26-year-old husband. The post also featured sweet snaps of her brother, Bradley Peltz, and her pet dog. She captioned the collection simply: 'some beautiful moments'. Brooklyn was quick to comment underneath, writing: 'I love you baby girl xx'.
Not to be outdone, Brooklyn made his own gushing tribute on his wife's birthday, sharing a photo from their vow renewal ceremony and penning: 'I am the luckiest man to call you my wife'.
A Family Estrangement Played Out Online
These affectionate posts arrive against a backdrop of escalating family drama. It was recently revealed that Nicola has removed all traces of the Beckham family from her social media accounts. This purge included deleting a past birthday tribute to her mother-in-law, Victoria.
This move follows reports that Brooklyn has blocked his parents and brothers on social media. The situation has become so strained that, according to The Daily Mail, Brooklyn has instructed David and Victoria to communicate with him only through lawyers. A source suggested this drastic step was to protect his mental health, stating recent public posts from his parents where he was tagged had negatively affected him.
Brooklyn reportedly desires any reconciliation attempts to happen 'privately', not on the public stage of social media. A source told The Mirror that his 'requests to stop' the public commentary had been ignored, leading to the legal letter. The source added that Brooklyn feels his parents still see him as a child rather than an adult.
The Roots of the Rift
Rumours of tension between Nicola and Victoria first swirled after the couple's multi-million-dollar wedding in April 2022. Whispers included claims that Nicola refused to wear a Victoria Beckham-designed dress, opting for Valentino and others instead. Insiders also alleged Victoria was unhappy about being sidelined during wedding planning, with the Peltz family taking centre stage on the big day.
While a sweet social media exchange for Victoria's 50th birthday in 2024 briefly silenced rumours, Nicola has since deleted that post. Meanwhile, Brooklyn's younger brother, Cruz, confirmed the social media block, and Nicola has been emphasising her own family, posting photos with her parents, Nelson and Claudia Peltz, and calling them 'her crew'.
As the feud continues, David and Victoria are said to be holding onto hope for a private family reunion, while Nicola and Brooklyn publicly celebrate their own 'beautiful moments' away from the Beckham spotlight.
