Nicola Peltz has moved to shield herself from online criticism by disabling comments on her social media posts, as she publicly declared her gratitude for husband Brooklyn Beckham. This action comes amidst an ongoing and highly publicised rift that has seen Brooklyn, 26, block his entire family—including father David, mother Victoria, and brothers Romeo and Cruz—from his Instagram account.
A Birthday Celebration and a Social Media Shield
The actress, who celebrated her 31st birthday over the weekend, shared intimate moments from her ballerina-themed party, which was orchestrated by Brooklyn. In a series of Instagram Stories, the couple was pictured wrapped in each other's arms against a sunset backdrop, with other images showing Nicola hugging her billionaire father, Nelson Peltz. Accompanying the photos was a heartfelt caption: "So grateful to start the New Year with these beautiful humans."
However, the celebratory mood was undercut by the decision to turn off comments on her two most recent grid posts. This followed a post from 30th December, which simply showed her eating a snack on a sun-lounger, being flooded with hundreds of remarks referencing the family dispute.
Fan Reactions and Pleas for Reconciliation
The comments section before it was disabled revealed a wave of mixed reactions from followers. Some users directly criticised Nicola, with one writing: "Hates her in laws, took their last name lol odd." Others showed solidarity with David and Victoria Beckham, tagging them with messages of support.
Several followers took a more conciliatory tone, offering advice to the couple. One lengthy comment urged Nicola to guide her husband towards reconciliation, stating: "As a good loving wife it’s your responsibility to guide your husband to reconcile with his family regardless of who is to blame... David Beckham is desperate to make up..they miss their son so bad it hurts to see!"
The Beckhams' 'Olive Branch' and Unwavering Hope
While Brooklyn and Nicola spent the Christmas period with her family, David and Victoria Beckham have made several public attempts to reach out. In what a source described as David's "boldest olive branch yet," the football icon shared a nostalgic black-and-white photo of himself with a young Brooklyn on New Year's Eve, captioned: "I love you all so much" with a red heart.
Victoria reshared the post, amplifying the sentiment. David also posted another family photo featuring all his children, writing: "You are my life, I love you all, love Daddy. On to 2026."
Insiders close to the Beckhams confirm that the parents "will never give up" hope of mending the relationship. "Nothing will change that, and they live in hope. He will always be their son, and they are not going to stop putting on record their feelings," a source said. The family remains waiting to hear from their eldest son as the new year begins.
