Nicola Peltz's Past Relationship with Anwar Hadid Mirrors Current Beckham Family Tensions
Friends and insiders close to both the Beckham and Hadid families have drawn striking parallels between Nicola Peltz's current marriage to Brooklyn Beckham and her previous relationship with model Anwar Hadid. This comes amid the very public fallout between Nicola and her mother-in-law, Victoria Beckham, which has dominated celebrity news headlines this week.
Hadid Family Concerns and "Relief" at Split
Sources close to the Hadid family have provided fresh insights into Nicola Peltz's two-year relationship with Anwar Hadid, which lasted from 2016 to 2018. According to these insiders, Anwar's mother, Yolanda Hadid, was reportedly "so relieved" when her only son parted ways with the actress.
A family source explained the concerns that had been growing: "They feared he was struggling, going out with a woman who was older than him at such a formative time in his life. Strong words were had; Yolanda was so relieved when it all finished. Poor Anwar was somewhat discombobulated by the whole relationship."
The age difference between Nicola and Anwar, who was five years her junior, reportedly bothered the Hadid family, as did what they perceived as Nicola's strong personality. Despite Nicola's previous public praise for the Hadid family, describing them as "amazing" and calling Anwar an "angel", the relationship reportedly deteriorated over time.
Family Interventions and Growing Dislike
Reports suggest that Yolanda Hadid and her daughters, Gigi and Bella, grew to dislike Nicola as the relationship progressed. The situation became so concerning that Yolanda reportedly attempted to stage an intervention to help her son "see sense."
The same source continued: "Anwar's mother and sisters were worried he was becoming increasingly unhappy in his relationship and they were keen for him to get out of it quickly. It had started so well but they later began to no longer think the relationship was the best idea for Anwar."
This family dynamic bears remarkable similarity to the current situation with the Beckhams, where Victoria Beckham has reportedly described Nicola as "controlling" and tensions have escalated to a very public family rift.
Parallels with Current Beckham Family Drama
The revelations about Nicola's past relationship with Anwar Hadid come at a particularly sensitive time, as Brooklyn Beckham has publicly accused his family of trying to "ruin" his marriage to the socialite. The couple married in 2022 after a whirlwind romance, but recent weeks have seen a dramatic deterioration in relations with Brooklyn's parents.
Interestingly, it's understood that Victoria Beckham has found some solace in knowing that Yolanda Hadid experienced similar difficulties with Nicola. This knowledge of shared experience between the two famous mothers-in-law adds another layer to the complex family dynamics at play.
Despite the mounting pressure and public scrutiny, Brooklyn Beckham remains defiant in his support of his wife. Earlier this week, he stressed that he "does not want to reconcile with [his] family," and the couple were recently photographed enjoying a romantic stroll hand-in-hand near Malibu, California, presenting a united front against the ongoing family drama.
The similarities between Nicola's relationships with both Anwar Hadid and Brooklyn Beckham – from the age differences to the family concerns about her personality – provide fascinating context to the current Beckham family fallout, suggesting patterns that extend beyond this particular celebrity marriage.
