Nicola Peltz has ignited fresh speculation about a rift with her in-laws, the Beckhams, following a pointed social media post shared just days after her husband, Brooklyn Beckham, was absent from a high-profile family wedding.
A Telling Social Media Moment
On Sunday, the 30-year-old American actress and heiress posted a polished selfie from Los Angeles. The image itself was simple, featuring Peltz in a black vest top and sunglasses, but it was the succinct three-word caption that set tongues wagging: "Love being home."
Many interpreted the message as a deliberate dig, given that she and Brooklyn, 26, chose to spend the festive season in California rather than travelling to the UK. This decision meant Brooklyn was the only member of his immediate family not to attend the wedding of Holly Ramsay, 25, to Olympic swimming champion Adam Peaty, 31.
Brooklyn's Conspicuous Absence and Loyalties
The wedding, an extravagant ceremony attended by David and Victoria Beckham along with their children Romeo, Cruz, and Harper, highlighted Brooklyn's notable absence. It remains unclear whether he declined an invitation or was not on the guest list, though insiders suggest it's unlikely Holly would have excluded him.
Sources close to the Ramsay family emphasised their "open door" policy and that Brooklyn is "always welcome," despite his reported feud with his parents. The two families have been close since the early 2000s, with their children growing up together after both moved to the US.
Brooklyn publicly backed his wife's post, commenting "Damn she sexy xx" underneath the photo. This show of support, coupled with reports he has recently unfollowed his own family on Instagram, seems to clearly indicate where his loyalties currently lie. The couple celebrated Christmas with Nicola's billionaire family, the Peltzes.
A History of Strained Relationships
The tension appears to extend beyond the Beckhams. Brooklyn's once-close friendship with Gordon Ramsay's eldest son, Jack, has reportedly "fizzled out." Pals speculate the relationship began to unravel when Brooklyn started dating Nicola, and Jack was notably absent from the couple's vow renewal ceremony earlier this summer.
Over the holidays, Brooklyn's social media painted a picture of a contented life in America, featuring rescue dogs in festive hats, tennis games with pro Reilly Opelka, and a romantic snap with Nicola on Christmas Eve captioned "My Everything." This post was viewed by some as a thinly veiled barb aimed at his birth family.
As the new year approaches, the silence from the Beckham camp continues, leaving the public to wonder if this familial divide will heal or deepen further in 2026.
