The ongoing rift between Brooklyn Beckham, his wife Nicola Peltz, and the wider Beckham family appears to have been underscored once again, following a pointed social media post from the actress. The move came after Brooklyn, 26, chose not to attend the Somerset wedding of his childhood friend, Holly Ramsay, an event his parents David and Victoria Beckham did attend.
A Telling Selfie Amidst Tensions
While the Beckhams were reportedly recovering from the lavish weekend celebrations of Gordon Ramsay's daughter, Nicola Peltz, 30, posted a mirror selfie to her Instagram. The accompanying caption, 'Love being home', was seen by many as a clear signal that she and Brooklyn have no plans to return to the UK from their base in Los Angeles. The couple spent Christmas in America with Nicola's billionaire family, further highlighting their physical and emotional distance from Brooklyn's relatives.
This post followed accusations that Nicola had been 'twisting the knife' in the long-running feud by previously sharing photos of Brooklyn enjoying the festive period with her parents. The aspiring chef's decision to skip Holly Ramsay's wedding avoided a potentially awkward reunion with his own family, but is said to have disappointed the protective Ramsay parents.
Historic Friendships and Current Distances
The Beckham and Ramsay families have been close since the early 2000s, bonding after both moved to the United States. With children of similar ages, including Brooklyn and Holly's twin brother Jack, the families grew up together, frequently holidaying as a group. However, a source revealed to the Daily Mail that Brooklyn's friendships from that era have faded.
'Brooklyn doesn’t appear to see many of his friends he hung out with before Nicola any more and that is very sad,' the source stated. They added that while the Ramsays maintain an 'open door' policy for Brooklyn, his friendship with Jack has changed and he has grown distant from Holly.
A Year of Escalating Estrangement
The tensions within the Beckham family have been building publicly throughout the year. Key moments include:
- Brooklyn's noticeable absence from celebrations for his father David's 50th birthday in May.
- The couple's lavish vow renewal in August 2025, which no members of the Beckham family attended.
- Brooklyn blocking his parents on social media, a fact confirmed by his brother Cruz, who dismissed claims that David and Victoria had unfollowed first.
This Christmas, Brooklyn made his current family allegiance clear, sharing an Instagram photo holding hands with Nicola while celebrating with her parents in Miami. His wife's name is permanently inked on his hand, a symbolic gesture of his commitment. As the new year approaches, the door to reconciliation appears to remain firmly shut, with Nicola Peltz's latest post serving as a stark reminder of where 'home' truly is for the couple.
