Nicola Peltz shares barbed message about family after addressing claims she 'controls' Brooklyn Beckham

Brooklyn Beckham’s wife Nicola Peltz shared a series of pointed posts about family amid the escalating feud with his famous family.

The aspiring chef, 26, and his actress partner, 30, are at the centre of highly publicised apparent rift with David and Victoria Beckham, having snubbed several milestones on social media and major family events in recent months.

Brooklyn - who lives in Los Angeles with Nicola - has reportedly “cut off all contact” with his parents as well as his siblings, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper.

Amid the tension, Nicola made a series of seemingly pointed remarks that appeared to highlight her close bond with her own family during a yacht trip.

The Transformers star posted a photo of Labubu dolls lined up in a row on her Instagram story, writing, “Our little family,” before sharing a snap of her mother Claudia posing with one of Pop Mart dolls attached to her Chanel bag with the caption: “My mom just gets it.”

She also shared a photo of her hugging her billionaire father Nelson Peltz, penning alongside it, “I love you so much dad,” and working out with her brother, Zach, with the caption: “My trainer.”

It comes just days after Nicola appeared to subtly hit out at accusations that she “controls” Brooklyn.

She liked a fan comment on Instagram that read: “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.”

This followed a post about her and Brooklyn attending her father Nelson’s 83rd birthday, while previously snubbing David’s four lavish 50th birthday celebrations in May.

While neither side has publicly confirmed a rift, rumours first emerged following Brooklyn and Nicola’s extravagant £3 million wedding in Palm Beach in 2022, with reports suggesting that former Spice Girl turned fashion designer Victoria, 51, felt sidelined during the planning.

Though there was a brief show of unity at Victoria’s Paris Fashion Week show last year, the relationship between the families appears to have worsened.

Brooklyn and Nicola raised eyebrows when they failed to attend Victoria’s 51st birthday in Miami in April and skipped David’s birthday festivities a month later.

The eldest Beckham child intensified the gossip by saying he will “always choose” Nicola in a “pointed message” to his partner in June.
