Nicola Peltz Beckham drew renewed attention to her ongoing rift with the Beckham family after posting photos from her father's birthday celebration, prompting online criticism over her husband Brooklyn Beckham's absence from his own father David Beckham's recent 50th birthday events. The photos, shared Monday on Instagram, showed Nicola, 30, with Brooklyn, 26, and her father Nelson Peltz, who turned 83.
"Happy birthday dad! I am so lucky to be your daughter, you're the most loving and supportive father I could ever dream of," Nicola wrote. "I love you more than I could ever begin to express - you're the wind beneath my wings."
While Nicola received supportive messages, many commenters expressed frustration that Brooklyn appeared to be prioritizing his wife's family over his own. "Funny how you're so happy to be his daughter but you don't allow your husband to celebrate his own father," one user wrote. Another added, "For someone who values family so much she should understand that he also has a family who must be devastated at what's happening."
Nicola pushed back indirectly by liking a fan's defense: "The fact people are in this comment section talking bs about someone controlling a GROWN man is absurd. The guy is an adult and can make his own decisions, leave them be and stop blaming women for everything."
Rumors of a Beckham family feud have circulated for months. Brooklyn and Nicola were absent from David Beckham's 50th birthday celebrations in May, which included a private party in the Cotswolds, a fishing trip, and a high-profile dinner in Notting Hill. They also did not post public birthday wishes to either David or Victoria Beckham.
Reports suggest the estrangement is mutual. "Brooklyn told his family he wants no contact and he's not responding to those that try to connect," a source told Page Six. Another source close to the couple denied the claim, stating, "This seems to be another deliberate attempt to misrepresent the truth."
Despite speculation, Brooklyn did acknowledge his grandmother Sandra Beckham's 76th birthday with a social media post: "Happy birthday nanny xx love you so much."
Meanwhile, Victoria Beckham shared a family photo with her parents on Instagram, writing, "Family weekends make me so happy," amid mounting signs of distance between the two families.
David Beckham did mention Brooklyn in a recent tribute to his mother Sandra, writing: "Thank you for always being there for us all. Love you," and tagging all three sons: Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz. Brooklyn's account was tagged, despite the apparent rift.
