Nicola Peltz appeared to take another swipe at the Beckhams amid their ongoing feud as she took to Instagram with a cosy snap on Friday. In January, her husband Brooklyn, 27, said he did not want to reconcile with his mother and father and claimed his parents and his siblings Romeo, 23, Cruz, 21, and Harper, 14, are 'performative'.
Taking to social media, Nicola, 31, posted a sweet photo of her and the wannabe chef beaming alongside her billionaire parents Nelson and Claudia. She captioned the snap: 'My whole heart and world in one photo'.
It comes after Brooklyn also alleged that his family values 'public promotion and endorsements above all else', adding that 'Brand Beckham comes first'.
Appearing on Emma Grede's podcast Aspire this week, fashion designer Victoria, 52, said building their £500 million empire known as 'Brand Beckham' was 'never their intention' and insisted she wasn't a 'pushy parent'.
During the interview, Dragon's Den entrepreneur Emma asked the former Spice Girls star about how she decides what 'remains personal' and what is part of Brand Beckham. The line of questioning appeared to allude to Brooklyn's scathing six-page statement, in which he claimed he had been 'controlled' by his parents for most of his life with 'performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships'.
Seemingly hitting back, Victoria told Emma: 'When David and I first met it was never our intention to start a brand. People talk about "Brand Beckham" - that has happened so organically. When I first met David, I mean he was a Brylcreem boy. So David was Adidas and Brylcreem and Pepsi and I was in the Spice Girls and that's where I learnt so much about how to build a brand and marketing.'
While he was doing Brylcreem and Adidas, the Spice Girls were doing Walker's crisps, Pepsi, Chupa Chups lollies, deodorant. 'Do you know? True story, my mother still has a Spice Girls' pizza in her oven. That pizza's been in the freezer for thirty odd years. So when people talk about "Brand Beckham", that was never something that we even discussed.'
Victoria insisted as their success grew, they remained focused on their separate projects with David working on building his football club Inter Miami, while she created her fashion and beauty empire. She continued: 'We don't have any deals together. David does what David does, I do what I do. That's the way it's always been. We have very different interests. I think it was the outside world that really talked about Brand Beckham, that's never really how we saw it. We're just doing what we do.'
Victoria went on to acknowledge how her children must have felt the pressure growing up in the public eye but she 'always tried to protect them'. It comes after Brooklyn said he grew up with 'overwhelming anxiety'. She said: 'Our children have had a very different upbringing to myself and David and I think the world is also a very different place now than what it was when they were younger. We've always tried to protect the children as much as we can, we've always been very close.' However, the fashion designer insisted she was 'never pushy'.
