The ongoing and very public estrangement between Brooklyn Beckham, his wife Nicola Peltz, and the rest of the Beckham family has taken a significant new turn. In what appears to be her boldest statement yet, actress Nicola Peltz has scrubbed her social media profiles of posts directly linked to her in-laws, escalating the long-rumoured feud.
Social Media Snubs Signal Deepening Rift
Nicola Peltz, 31, has deleted a heartfelt post dedicated to her mother-in-law, Victoria Beckham, 51. The tribute, shared in April 2024 to mark the former Spice Girl's 50th birthday, featured a photo of the pair arm-in-arm after the premiere of Nicola's film Lola. In the caption, Nicola had written warmly, calling Victoria her "beautiful mil" and a "dance partner forever." Its removal is seen as a direct and deliberate act, following a series of snubs.
The couple, who married in 2022, have been at the centre of family tension rumours for years. The situation deteriorated notably in 2025 when they skipped Sir David Beckham's 50th birthday celebrations and later renewed their wedding vows without any Beckham family present. The feud was seemingly confirmed last month when Brooklyn's younger brother, Cruz Beckham, 20, publicly accused Brooklyn of blocking the entire immediate family on social media.
Legal Letters and Failed Olive Branches
The conflict has now moved beyond social media slights into legal territory. This week, it was reported that Brooklyn Beckham, 26, sent a legal letter to his parents instructing them to contact him only through his lawyers. This drastic step came despite a public attempt at reconciliation by David and Victoria on New Year's Eve 2025. The former footballer posted a series of childhood photos of his four children, including Brooklyn, expressing his love. Victoria reshared the post with a heart emoji, but the gesture was reportedly rejected.
Sources indicate the parents are heartbroken but determined. "They would 'never give up trying to secure a reconciliation' and 'live in hope'," a source told The Mirror. However, Brooklyn has pushed back against narratives that he is being controlled by his wife, recently posting a gushing birthday tribute to Nicola, calling her his "rock."
Nicola's Silent Endorsement and Selective Connections
While Nicola has not posted directly about the dispute, her activity has spoken volumes. This week, she was seen liking comments from fans that defended the couple's position. One liked comment read, "no-one knows what goes on behind closed doors… there’s obviously a reason." Another stated, "I’m glad Brooklyn was able to join such a nice family," in reference to the Peltzes.
Interestingly, the social media purge is not total. A photo of Nicola with Brooklyn's grandmother, Sandra Beckham, 76, from 2024 remains on her profile. Sources suggest Brooklyn remains in touch with his grandparents, trying to keep them out of the fray. "He has reached out in his own time, but tried to keep it low-key so as not to drag them into it," an insider explained.
The once-close family unit now appears irrevocably fractured, with legal barriers erected and sentimental digital ties severed. As both sides dig in, the prospect of a private resolution seems increasingly distant, leaving the very public saga set to continue.
