Brooklyn Beckham ‘Held Hostage’ by Wife Nicola Peltz Amid Family Feud
A dramatic and telling video has emerged of Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz, which has left his family, particularly his parents David and Victoria Beckham, deeply concerned. The Daily Mail has learned that those close to the family believe Brooklyn is being controlled by Nicola, and that he is now being referred to as "the hostage".
According to sources, Brooklyn, 26, has always been reluctant to put himself in the limelight, unlike his parents, who have been in the public eye for decades. However, a recent Instagram post showed him riding a motorbike with Nicola, accompanied by a gushy message expressing his love for her. The post read: "My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you’re the most amazing person I know xx me and you forever baby."
The post is seen as a clear indication that Brooklyn is siding with Nicola in the bitter feud that has engulfed the Beckham family. The couple snubbed David’s 50th birthday celebrations earlier this month, which has further strained relations between them. A source close to the family told The Daily Mail that Brooklyn’s actions are "heartbreaking" and that he is "dying inside" due to the pressure from Nicola.
The rift between the Beckhams and Brooklyn and Nicola has been growing for some time, with the couple failing to attend several family events, including a big party at the Beckhams’ Cotswolds home, a trip to France, and a meal at Notting Hill restaurant Core. Brooklyn also missed a "boys fishing trip" to the Scottish Highlands with his father and younger brothers Romeo and Cruz.
Nicola, 30, has been briefing the media that the Beckhams are using social media for "performative" reasons, but her husband’s recent post is seen as a prime example of such behaviour. The Daily Mail revealed three weeks ago that David and Victoria were "done" with Nicola, who married Brooklyn in a lavish £3million ceremony at her parents’ £76million home on Palm Beach, Florida.
The situation has become increasingly strained, with Brooklyn stopping seeing some friends, including Gordon Ramsay’s son Jack and Rocco Ritchie, whose director father Guy is a close friend of David’s. Earlier this week, Brooklyn and Nicola jetted to London for a joint photoshoot with Italian luxury fashion brand Moncler, which took place less than two miles away from the Beckham family home in Holland Park, west London. However, Brooklyn didn’t even tell his parents he was in the country, let alone meet with them.
The feud has also affected Brooklyn’s relationships with his siblings, particularly Romeo, with whom he fell out at the time of the wedding. Cruz, Brooklyn’s younger brother, appeared to give voice to his frustration over the situation by making it clear that he is supporting his parents and not Brooklyn in the feud. He penned: "I love my family. I love you guys more than anything, mum and dad you gave us life and cared for us no matter what, I cannot tell you how blessed we are to have you in our lives."
As for Brooklyn’s motorcycling post, the response from his followers was not what he was looking for, with one follower commenting: "If it wasn’t for your last name Beckham, she wouldn’t have looked twice at you. If her parents weren’t billionaires just ordinary working class folk and you really had to make a choice, you’d choose your parents."
The Daily Mail understands that David and Victoria desperately hope that one day Brooklyn will come back to them, despite a message which must have been a dagger to their hearts. As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is clear: the rift between the Beckhams and Brooklyn and Nicola shows no signs of healing anytime soon.
In a further indication of the deepening divide, it is reported that Nicola used to be close to Brooklyn’s younger sister Harper, but has now cut her out of her life. An insider said: "It is absolutely heartbreaking that Brooklyn and Nicola didn’t bother to see her when they came to London last week. Nicola used to be all over her like a rash, posing for pictures and putting them on TikTok or Instagram, saying that Harper was her little sister. Perhaps she was using her for her own image. Whatever the reason, to cut a young girl out of this when she has had no part to play is cruel."
The developments have raised concerns about the influence Nicola has over Brooklyn and the impact it is having on his relationships with his family. As one source noted, "You have to wonder if he isn’t allowed
