Actress Nicola Peltz has sparked speculation that she has undergone cosmetic dental work after sharing a New Year's Eve photo where her smile appeared dramatically different.
A Whiter, Brighter Smile for the New Year
The 30-year-old star, who is married to David and Victoria Beckham's eldest son Brooklyn, 26, posted a picture of the couple celebrating at a Florida nightclub. In the snap, Nicola beamed from ear-to-ear, her teeth looking noticeably whiter and larger than in previous public appearances.
Expert opinion seems to confirm a change. Dr Mervyn Druian of The London Centre for Cosmetic Dentistry analysed the new image against a 2020 photo. 'In my opinion the photo from 2020 appears to be veneers. The latest picture also shows veneers but they look a little larger and more pronounced,' he told the Daily Mail.
A Bittersweet Celebration Amid Family Tensions
While the couple appeared to be enjoying 50 Cent's performance, the celebration was shadowed by the ongoing, very public rift between Brooklyn and his parents. Notably, Nicola has turned off the comments on her recent Instagram posts after receiving a stream of abusive messages.
Critics used the comments section of a previous poolside photo at her family's £76 million estate to weigh in on the feud. One user described her as possessing a 'controlled and cold beauty', while others were more direct, urging her to encourage Brooklyn to reconcile with his family. Comments included pleas like, 'Tell your man to call/visit/make peace with his parents. Life is too short,' and accusations that she 'hates her in-laws.'
The Beckhams' Public Hopes for Reconciliation
The New Year's celebrations highlighted the family divide. While Brooklyn and Nicola partied in Florida, having also spent Christmas with her billionaire parents in Miami, David and Victoria hosted a party at their £12 million Cotswolds home.
David Beckham made a pointed effort to extend an olive branch on social media. He shared a nostalgic photo of a teenage Brooklyn with the caption 'I love you all so much,' in a post that wife Victoria promptly reshared with a heart emoji. A source emphasised to The Mirror that 'David and Victoria will never give up trying to secure a reconciliation.'
However, hopes seem faint. It was recently confirmed by Brooklyn's brother, Cruz, that the eldest Beckham son had blocked his entire immediate family on social media. The estrangement has reportedly cast a shadow over David's milestone year, which included his 50th birthday and receiving a knighthood.
The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for both Nicola Peltz and the Beckhams for comment.
