Actress Nicola Peltz has been soaking up the Florida sun over the festive period, choosing to celebrate with her billionaire parents rather than join her in-laws, the Beckhams, in the UK. The move highlights the ongoing and bitter family feud that has seen Brooklyn Beckham cut off contact with his famous family.
A Festive Season Spent Stateside
On Tuesday, the 30-year-old shared a sun-drenched Instagram snap from her family's lavish £76 million estate in Miami. Relaxing on a sun lounger in black hotpants and oversized shades, Peltz appeared to be enjoying a peaceful holiday snack. The post, which went without a caption, was notably 'liked' by her husband, Brooklyn, 26.
This visual confirmation of their location underscored their decision to snub the traditional Beckham family Christmas gathering in the Cotswolds. Instead, the couple opted to remain in the United States, where Peltz had recently wrapped filming for the thriller 'Pretty Ugly'.
Mounting Tensions and Public Displays
The choice to stay away follows months of reported estrangement. The rift is said to have intensified after Brooklyn missed his father David's 50th birthday party. Since then, contact has been minimal. The situation became more public when Brooklyn's younger brother, Cruz, 20, revealed that the aspiring chef had blocked his entire family on social media, contradicting reports that they had unfollowed him first.
Amid growing backlash from fans urging reconciliation, the couple have presented a united front online. Just a day before the Miami post, Peltz shared a cosy image of the pair wearing matching grey outfits on a sofa, joking they hadn't planned their looks. Brooklyn commented affectionately, calling her 'my sweetie pie'.
A Series of Notable Absences
The festive snub is not an isolated incident. The pair have been absent from numerous Beckham family events this past year. Most conspicuously, Brooklyn was missing from Holly Ramsay and Adam Peaty's wedding just days before Christmas, an event attended by his parents, David and Victoria, and his siblings.
While his family celebrated in the UK, Brooklyn shared a Grinch-themed post from Los Angeles. Hours later, Peltz appeared to post her own veiled thoughts, sharing a quote from the late Brigitte Bardot about preferring animals to the way people behave.
According to reports, Brooklyn is waiting for an apology from his parents to his wife, Nicola. A source suggested the Beckhams had 'targeted' Peltz during the feud and must acknowledge the pain caused before any reconciliation can occur. For now, the couple seem firmly entrenched with Peltz's family, with Brooklyn recently declaring his wife is 'his everything'.
