Nicola Peltz has been accused of making a thinly-veiled dig at Harper Beckham in her latest Instagram post. The wife of Brooklyn Beckham took to social media to share photos from her brother Will's recent wedding, where he married record producer Quincy Jones' daughter Kenya Kinski-Jones. Nicola called the celebration 'one of the most beautiful things I've ever had the privilege of witnessing.'
Peltz Family Takes Center Stage
As with her vow renewal to Brooklyn, to which his parents David and Victoria were not invited, Nicola's parents played prominent roles at the latest Peltz nuptials. Dad Nelson acted as best man, while Nicola's mum Claudia was matron of honour, with actress Nicola taking on the role of bridesmaid. The big day occurred on the Peltz estate, with Claudia and Nelson also acting as witnesses, having walked the couple down the aisle.
Controversial 'Dream Sister' Comment
However, it is Nicola's mention of her new in-laws that raised eyebrows. Paying homage to the newlyweds, Nicola gushed: 'Willy, thank you for finally and officially giving me my dream sister, ken.' For years, Nicola memorably called Brooklyn's younger sister Harper 'my sister' before the huge fallout that split the families apart. She consistently called the now 14-year-old her 'dream little sister,' with the two sharing an incredibly close bond. Nicola previously said: 'I wanted a little sister so bad and Harper is the sweetest.'
Speaking of her latest in-laws online, Nicola said: 'This wedding was truly one of the most beautiful things i’ve ever had the privilege of witnessing. willy, thank you for finally and officially giving me my dream sister, ken. watching the two of you love each other so deeply over the past 16 years has been one of the most beautiful gifts. your love for each other has always been something so special grow up with and celebrating this moment with everyone was unforgettable. i love you both more than words can say, and I truly couldn’t be happier for you both. i am forever lucky to have the most incredible humans - the jones’ to call family. thank you for bringing so much love, warmth, beauty and pure magic into our lives. my heart is so full. i love you willy and kenya cheers to you both [sic].'
Previous Bond with Harper
When asked about her relationship with Harper months before distancing themselves from the Beckhams, Nicola said: 'If I could create the perfect dream little sister, it's her. I'm so blessed I get to have her as my little sister in my life.' The pair’s sweet bond was also shown at Victoria’s Paris Fashion Week show in October 2023 when Nicola shared a photo of her and Harper posing backstage along with the caption: 'Such a beautiful show with my baby sis, congratulations @victoriabeckham'.
Brooklyn's Strained Family Relations
The Mirror reported that Brooklyn has struggled to keep a relationship with his sister while the row with his parents rumbled on. The 26-year-old is currently not talking to David and Victoria, or his brothers Cruz and Romeo, all of whom he has blocked on social media. However, the situation is 'very different' when it comes to his 14-year-old sister, who it’s understood Brooklyn has tried to shield from the family fallout. But a source admits that the 'fundamental logistics of his little sister living under the same roof as his parents….makes things very hard, contact-wise' and the two are not as close as they once were.
Harper's Attempt at Reconciliation
Earlier this month, Harper was pictured arriving at Nicola and Brooklyn's house in an attempt to mend their feud. The teen had been in the US with her brothers Romeo and Cruz and mum Victoria to celebrate dad Sir David receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Hours after the ceremony, Harper was photographed arriving at Brooklyn's mansion in an SUV. In pictures obtained by Page Six, Harper was seen walking to the gates alone still wearing her pink silk dress from the ceremony. Insiders said Harper arrived 'unannounced' and she was the only one of the family to make the trip. However, attempts at a reconciliation fell flat as Brooklyn and wife Nicola Peltz were nowhere to be seen and the youngest Beckham did not go inside. Harper left seconds after arriving without seeing her brother as a source confirmed to Page Six that neither Brooklyn nor his wife, Nicola Peltz, were home at the time. The couple are believed to be out of town.
