Body language expert Judi James has provided an exclusive analysis of Nicola Peltz's carefully timed romantic video with husband Brooklyn Beckham, suggesting it represents a deliberate public statement following his family's united appearance in Paris without him.
The Calculated Timing
Nicola Peltz, 31, shared an affectionate TikTok montage featuring her and 26-year-old Brooklyn Beckham mere hours after his entire family presented a united front at Paris Fashion Week. The video, set to Coldplay's 'Yellow', shows the couple enjoying romantic meals, toasting with wine, kissing, and cuddling their dog, culminating in an emotional embrace.
The timing appears particularly significant given the ongoing family feud that has deepened since Brooklyn's bombshell Instagram statement earlier this month. The couple are reportedly not on speaking terms with the rest of the Beckham family.
Parallels with Meghan Markle
Judi James draws striking parallels between Nicola's social media strategy and that of Meghan Markle, suggesting both women use carefully curated content to portray an idyllic lifestyle. "Rather like Prince Harry's wife Meghan Markle has done with sweet videos portraying her seemingly picture-postcard life in California, Nicola's 'escape' videos are all about an idyllic lifestyle," James explained.
"Her videos are full of body language rituals that show she is loved and adored," the expert continued, highlighting the unrelenting smile Nicola directs toward the camera throughout the footage.
Decoding the Body Language
James provided detailed analysis of specific moments within the three-minute video. "With the adorable dog in her arms she is locked in a love sandwich here as Brooklyn is present on her other side to perform a 'bestowed' kiss of adoration on the side of her head," she observed.
The expert noted an interesting dynamic: "Her man and her dog almost seem to be vying for her attention and her smile to the camera is the result of that affection overload."
The 'Win' Perception
According to James, the video's settings and interactions create a specific narrative. "It's the perception of a 'win'," she stated. "There are the 'Montecito-style' idyllic, romantic settings, from the sea to the sun-dappled garden, the open fire or the table groaning with oysters and so on."
The concluding embrace received particular attention: "Then there is the encompassing, affirming hug at the end where Brooklyn winds his arms around her torso and buries his head into her neck. This whole video looks like proof of a 'win' in terms of her life and her relationship being just about perfect now."
The Paris Contrast
Nicola's video emerged following a significant family gathering in Paris where Brooklyn was notably absent. His entire family - mother Victoria, father David, brothers Romeo and Cruz, and sister Harper - attended the Haute Couture Spring Summer 2026 show together.
The occasion held additional significance as the family gathered to support Victoria Beckham receiving the Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres honour from the French government. Both younger brothers brought their respective girlfriends to the star-studded event.
Family Response
Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 20, both posted family pictures on their Instagram Stories, with Romeo writing "Proud of you mum" accompanied by heart emojis. The brothers appear to be handling the family tensions with public grace despite what insiders describe as deep hurt following Brooklyn's recent public criticisms.
In a since-deleted TikTok video, Cruz shared footage of himself and Romeo with their girlfriends in a cab, lip-syncing to a song that some fans interpreted as commentary on the family drama. His caption read: "Imagine hating and we're just here like."
The contrasting social media narratives from different branches of the Beckham-Peltz family continue to fuel public fascination with their ongoing dynamics, with body language experts suggesting each post carries carefully calculated messages about relationships, loyalty, and public perception.
