On Instagram on 14/3, Nicola Peltz posted photos from her mother's birthday party - former model Claudia Heffner Peltz. In the pictures, she and Brooklyn Beckham stood next to her, smiling and posing. She wrote: "Just being able to call you 'mom' makes me feel like the luckiest person in the world. I'm so happy to be with you on this special day."

Nicola is one of the 8 children of Claudia and billionaire Nelson Peltz. She is close to her parents, often sharing moments with her family. Brooklyn also has a good relationship with his in-laws. At the WSJ Invest Live event on 3/2, when reporters brought up the recent controversies between his daughter's couple and the Beckham family, Nelson Peltz joked that he "paid no attention to it at all". He did not elaborate further but praised his son-in-law, Brooklyn, as wonderful. "I look forward to them having a long, happy marriage", he said.

Brooklyn and Nicola dated for three years and married in 2022. After the wedding, he lived with his wife in Los Angeles, US. In 4/2025, reports of "Beckham family discord" emerged, as media noticed the young couple no longer appeared with or posted about Brooklyn's family. The couple was last seen with Vic-Beck and his siblings during Christmas 2024.

Meanwhile, Brooklyn frequently attended parties, took photos, and posted pictures with his wife's family. Last August, the couple held a vow renewal ceremony, inviting billionaire Nelson Peltz to officiate. That same Christmas, Brooklyn celebrated with Nicola's parents in Florida, US.

After nearly a year of facing family relationship controversies, in January, Brooklyn accused his parents of "controlling his life and sabotaging his relationship" with his wife, stating he did not want to reconcile.

Brooklyn Beckham, 27, born in England, is one of the well-known "nepo babies" (similar to the concept of 'children of influential parents'). He has pursued various careers, including modeling, barista, and photographer. He also collaborated with a company to open a pop-up restaurant and hosted a cooking show, but none left a significant mark. Brooklyn has even been criticized for "riding on his parents' coattails" and lacking talent. As a child, he intended to follow in his father's footsteps, spending many years training with a football team before leaving the field at age 15.
