Months after Brooklyn Beckham ‘s explosive statement in which he claimed his parents had manipulated him throughout his life, the Beckham feud continues, as Brooklyn’s wife Nicola Peltz Beckham has now broken her silence.
This past week, David Beckham and Victoria Beckham extended olive branches, as they publicly wished their estranged son Brooklyn a happy birthday. In response, Brooklyn and his wife Nicola skipped Victoria’s annual Paris Fashion Week show on March 6; the Beckham matriarch was instead supported by husband David, and three youngest children, Romeo, Cruz and Harper.
In what was a marked difference to years past, neither Brooklyn nor Nicola posted public shows of support on social media, although Nicola did post about her husband’s birthday, as well as her surprise cameo in Ryan Murphy’s series The Beauty, with Ashton Kutcher.
During an interview to mark her appearance as the “beautified” version of Isabella Rossellini’s Franny, Nicola was asked for the first time how she has been navigating the recent attention, but the 31-year-old brushed it off, sharing that she has been in the editing room for her next project, Prima.
“I’ve been editing my next film [Prima] for the past two and a half weeks. So honestly, I’ve been in the editing room. We haven’t had weekends,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. “We’ve just been trying to make a deadline [for Cannes Film Festival]. And it’s been so amazing to just put my focus on that and be creative. It’s been really fun doing that, and I’m really excited for it to come out.”
Brooklyn commented on Nicola’s post about his birthday, cheekily replying in the comments and revealing his own nickname for his wife, writing: “My sexy little pepper.” But he did not respond to his parents’ message which saw David using his own nickname for his eldest, ‘Buster’.

Brooklyn confirmed months of rumors of a family feud when he took to Stories to claim that he had no intention of reconciling with his family, citing “controlled narratives” and “inauthentic relationships” among his reasons. He claimed that “love” was measured “by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo opp, even if it’s at the expense of our professional obligations.”
