Actress Nicola Peltz set pulses racing this Sunday with a sultry mirror selfie shared to her Instagram followers. The 31-year-old showcased her toned figure in a pale blue bikini top, posing confidently for the camera.
The Backdrop of a Bitter Family Divide
This glamorous post arrives amidst ongoing reports of a deep and acrimonious rift between Peltz, her husband Brooklyn Beckham, 26, and his famous family. The couple has notably snubbed all significant Beckham family celebrations in recent months, including the milestone 50th birthday party for Brooklyn's father, football legend David Beckham.
However, a potential glimmer of hope emerged on Saturday, as the Daily Mail revealed that Brooklyn is privately hoping to one day rebuild bridges with his parents. This desire for future reconciliation contrasts sharply with the current state of affairs, where communication has reportedly broken down entirely.
A Communication Breakdown via Lawyers
The situation deteriorated so severely last summer that Brooklyn allegedly requested his parents, David and Victoria, contact him only through their respective lawyers. A source told the Mail, 'David was told to speak to them via Schillings. That was the only way for them to communicate.'
It is understood this was a request, not a legal action, with Brooklyn wanting no direct contact or public statements about him on social media from his parents. This stance likely explains why, just before Christmas, Brooklyn blocked his parents and siblings—Romeo, Cruz, and Harper—on social media after they were seen viewing and liking his cooking posts.
Small Gestures and Tattooed Tributes
Amid the turmoil, Nicola Peltz also used her Instagram Stories to share a more intimate moment. She posted a photo focusing on the array of tattoos covering Brooklyn's arm as he helped himself to a handful of blueberries. Brooklyn has previously revealed that over 70 of his 100+ tattoos are dedicated to his wife, including her name, her eyes, wedding vows, and a portrait of her face.
This followed a loved-up post by Brooklyn just a day earlier, showing Nicola sitting on his lap as they kissed against the backdrop of the Los Angeles skyline. An insider emphasised to The Sun, 'Brooklyn absolutely adores them [his grandparents], and knows how much pain this is causing everyone... Nicola remains his absolute rock.'
Despite the estrangement from his immediate family, Brooklyn is said to remain in regular contact with both sets of grandparents, trying to keep these relationships low-key to avoid dragging them into the feud. As the young couple navigates this very public family drama, the world watches to see if the reported hopes for reconciliation will ever become a reality.
