Nicola Peltz is once again drawing criticism after sharing photos from her father Nelson Peltz’s 83rd birthday celebration, which featured her husband Brooklyn Beckham. The post comes just weeks after the couple was noticeably absent from David Beckham’s high-profile 50th birthday party, fueling speculation about ongoing tension between Brooklyn and his family. Nicola’s affectionate caption for her billionaire father praised his love and support, calling him “the wind beneath my wings” and expressing gratitude for being his daughter.
However, the celebratory post sparked backlash in the comments, with some social media users calling out Brooklyn’s apparent prioritization of Nicola’s family over his own. One follower questioned whether the post was an intentional slight, asking, “Rubbing it in that Brooklyn skipped his dad’s big party?” This added to the speculation surrounding a rumored rift between Brooklyn and the Beckham family, particularly after their no-show at David’s birthday bash in May.
Nicola chose not to directly respond to the critical comments but quietly liked a fan’s message defending her. The comment pushed back against accusations that Nicola controls Brooklyn’s decisions, stating, “The guy is an adult and can make his own decisions, leave them be and stop blaming women for everything.” By engaging with the comment, Nicola appeared to send a subtle yet firm response to the criticism without addressing it head-on.
Rumors of tension within the Beckham family have been ongoing, particularly since Page Six reported in April that Brooklyn and his brother Romeo weren’t on speaking terms. The tension was allegedly related to Romeo’s former girlfriend Kim Turnbull, who was rumored to have previously dated Brooklyn. Turnbull, however, denied the claims, stating publicly that their connection never extended beyond a school friendship.
Although insiders have dismissed the speculation as unfounded, Brooklyn and Nicola’s absence at David Beckham’s birthday only intensified the public scrutiny. In what appeared to be an effort to ease tensions, David tagged Brooklyn in a celebratory post following his knighthood recognition from King Charles III and included photos of Brooklyn in a Father’s Day tribute. Whether these gestures helped mend the relationship remains unclear, but the public continues to read between the lines of the family’s highly visible social media activity.
