Looks like Nicola Peltz and her mother-in-law Victoria Beckham have quite a strained relationship. Page Six has reported, via insider sources, that the actress and the former Spice Girl "can't stand each other and don't talk."
Nicola married Victoria and David Beckham’s son Brooklyn Beckham in April 2022 after three years of dating. Since they married, Peltz' Instagram has featured worrying posts of her crying and talking about her insecurities. It appears the feud started around the time of the wedding where Victoria was kept out of plans. Although the couple addressed the feud in a recent Variety interview, claiming "everyone gets along," it looks like the story isn't going anywhere.
So, is there any truth behind these rumors of a feud between Bates Motel actress Nicola Peltz and her singer and fashion designer mother-in-law Victoria Beckham?
9 What Are The Issues Between Nicola Peltz And Victoria Beckham?
The drama between Nicola Peltz's and her famous mother-in-law first unfolded online when a source told Page Six in early August that Nicola and Victoria Beckham were not on good terms.
“They can’t stand each other and don’t talk,” the source revealed. “The build-up to the wedding was horrendous.” It looks like Nicola and Victoria fell out over wedding plans.
“She wouldn’t clue Victoria in on anything. Communication was minimal.” The source added that the feud has affected Brooklyn's relationship with his own family “They haven’t spoken to him much in the last few months,” the insider said.
8 Why Nicola Peltz Didn't Wear A Victoria Beckham Wedding Dress
It is rumored that the feud started when Nicola Peltz, 27-year-old, wouldn't wear the wedding dress Victoria designed. She instead wore a white Valentino dress.
“I was going to, and I really wanted to, and then a few months down the line, she realized that her atelier couldn’t do it, so then I had to pick another dress,” she revealed. “She didn’t say you can’t wear it; I didn’t say I didn’t want to wear it."
A source told the Daily Mail that Victoria "couldn't help" but get involved with the planning and that she was "constantly overriding" their decisions.
Victoria "may have overstepped the line" with her input, the source explained, with the newspaper adding that the mother of the groom felt "humiliated" by the way things turned out.
7 Were There Issues Between Nicola Peltz And Brooklyn Beckham's Families?
The source told Page Six recently that there is a huge issue between the Beckham and the Peltz families.
“Victoria and Nicola are just collateral damage. It’s not just about two women — it’s two families coming together,” the source said. “It’s pretty obvious there’s an issue between the two families. Everybody needs to find their place. They’re just not quite connecting yet.”
The source also revealed that the problem between the families appears to be about branding. Brooklyn’s famous British parents want their son and their daughter-in-law to follow in their footsteps of leading clothing lines, perfume, and other ventures.
“There is a very deliberate move orchestrated by Nicola and her mom and funded by Nelson. There is a reason why Brooklyn and Nicola are now ‘Peltz Beckham.’ It’s all about branding,” the source says about Nicola’s billionaire father Nelson, a non-executive chairman of Madison Square Garden among other lucrative things. “I think that Nicola and her mom come up with ideas, Nelson can fund anything, and he says yes! But for David and Victoria, it has to have some substance.”
6 Do The Peltz And Beckhams Have Different Values?
Another source to Page Six that the Beckhams and the Peltz' have very different values.
“The Beckhams are quite old-fashioned. They believe that everyone should make their own way up in the world,” said the source. “Although they’ll always give their kids a leg up in terms of support and endorsement, they famously made Brooklyn work in a cafe to teach him about work ethic and to get some values. They were really keen to support his passion for photography, so they helped him get internships; then he got into cooking, and they’ve supported that.”
This drama hasn't affected Brooklyn's relationship with his father-in-law. “Brooklyn has become so, so close to the Peltz family, and to Nicola’s dad, especially. For Victoria, who is extremely close to Brooklyn, that has to be difficult.”
5 Victoria Beckham's Broken Relationship With Brooklyn
The insider also told Page Six that David and Victoria Beckham aren’t even talking to their own son.
“They haven’t spoken to him much in the last few months,” the insider sadly revealed. This unnamed source also claimed that Brooklyn’s relationship with his parents only became worse after he posted a cover of his wife on Tatler magazine, which featured the headline: “The New Mrs. Beckham.”
4 Is Nicola Peltz Jealous Of Victoria Beckham?
The insider has pondered if actress Nicola is "jealous" of the attention Victoria has, especially on her wedding day. Many felt the lack of attention put on Victoria during the wedding may have been due to envy.
A source told The Daily Mail in July this year that guests at their wedding found it unusual that David and Victoria weren’t seated at the top table with Brooklyn and Nicola, as this is a British custom.
“The top table was all Peltzes, and it really felt as if the Beckhams were not at the forefront. There was a feeling that the wedding was all about the Peltz family, as you can imagine, as it was their house and their daughter and their son making the speeches,”
3 Was The Interview Attention-Seeking?
During a piece for Variety, Brooklyn and Nicola, 27, publicly addressed rumors of a feud between the pair.
He said "everyone gets along," whilst his wife spoke about the switch in wedding dress designer. That’s where it started, and then they ran with that.” Brooklyn added on, “I’ve learned they’re always going to try to write stuff like that. They’re always going to try and put people down. But everyone gets along, which is good.”
It is believed that the interview hasn't gone down well with the Beckhams, with it said to go against their philosophy when it comes to unfavorable stories written about them.
A source told Heat, "The interview left David and Victoria open-mouthed. [...] They're seeing it as an attention-seeking stunt, and they now need to figure out where to go from here."
They added that within the family's philosophy is "that you stay silent rather than acknowledge" as they believe this makes stories disappear.
The source also explained that Brooklyn was raised on that philosophy, so Victoria and David, imagine that Nicola "quashed any attempt from him to play it down" when asked about it.
2 Beckhams Ignored Peltz In Wedding Posts
