Nicola Peltz has thanked her brother Will for "officially giving me my dream sister" after he married model Kenya Kinski-Jones, using the same affectionate phrase she once used to describe Harper Beckham. The actress, 31, shared a heartfelt Instagram tribute to her older brother and his new wife following their recent wedding, calling the ceremony "one of the most beautiful things I've ever had the privilege of witnessing." Addressing her brother directly, she wrote: "Thank you, Willy, for officially giving me my dream sister, Ken."
Shift in Language Sparks Speculation
The post marks a notable shift in language from Nicola, who in 2024 described husband Brooklyn Beckham's younger sister Harper as her "dream little sister." At the premiere of her directorial debut Lola, Nicola spoke warmly about the teenager, saying: "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 comments come amid the long-running rift between Brooklyn and his famous family.
Harper Beckham Drawn Into Feud
Earlier this month, Harper, 14, was drawn into the feud after visiting Brooklyn and Nicola's Beverly Hills home to deliver a handwritten note following Sir David Beckham's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony. Sources close to Brooklyn and Nicola later accused the Beckhams of "using Harper as a pawn," claiming photographers had been alerted to the visit. Friends of David and Victoria strongly denied the allegation, calling it a "nasty accusation" involving an "innocent young girl." It later emerged that Brooklyn was not in California at the time of Harper's visit, with the aspiring chef sharing social media posts showing he was in New York City.
Impact on Harper
A source close to the family previously told the Daily Mail that the fallout has had a "devastating" effect on Harper. They reported: "For the first 12 years of Harper's life, she was so very close to Brooklyn. He was 12 himself when she was born and was a very influential person in her life. It doesn't take much to understand just how devastated Harper is that her big brother is no longer around."
Brooklyn's Controversial Advert
Earlier this month, Brooklyn came under fire after the full version of his controversial World Cup advert appeared to take another swipe at his family, with fans branding the campaign "distasteful." The 27-year-old unveiled the complete DoorDash commercial following England's World Cup victory against Croatia, days after the teaser sparked accusations he was "cashing in" on his estrangement from parents. The ads have sparked controversy, and his famous parents have reportedly been left "inconsolable" by the advert.
Long-Running Feud
The hot sauce entrepreneur has been engaged in a long-running feud with his parents ever since his explosive claim in January that they have been "trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn't stopped." He also alleged his wife, Nicola, had been "disrespected" by his family. He has not made a public appearance with his parents nor acknowledged them on social media since his statement, in which he also claimed his parents control narratives in the press about their family and put "Brand Beckham" first. Brooklyn married Nicola, the daughter of billionaire Nelson Peltz, in 2022.
