At the WSJ Invest Live event on 3/2, businessman Nelson Peltz drew attention when he addressed the recent conflict between his daughter Nicola and her husband Brooklyn, and the Beckham family. This marks the first time the billionaire has spoken publicly since the family dispute became widely reported.

After a reporter brought up the controversies, Peltz quipped: "My family has been in the news lately? I hadn't noticed that at all." The host then asked if he had ever offered advice to his family on handling such situations, to which Peltz confirmed he had. He added: "My daughter's issue with the Beckham family is a completely different story. That matter is outside the scope of today's event. But I can say that my daughter is wonderful, and my son-in-law Brooklyn is wonderful too. I look forward to them having a long, happy marriage."

Peltz's comments follow Brooklyn Beckham's Instagram post on 19/1, in which he accused his parents. On his Instagram story at the time, Brooklyn claimed that Vic-Beck "tried to control his life," "spread countless lies to the media," and "sabotaged his and his wife's relationship." He also declared he "did not want to reconcile with his family," only wishing to live peacefully and privately with his wife. Currently, former football star David Beckham and his wife, designer Victoria, remain silent on the matter.

Brooklyn and Nicola married in 2022 after three years of dating. Following their wedding, he moved to Los Angeles, USA, with his wife. Reports of a "Beckham family dispute" emerged in 4/2025 when media noticed the couple no longer appeared with or posted about Brooklyn's biological family. The last time the couple was pictured with Vic-Beck and his siblings was at Christmas 2024.

Since the reports of conflict with his family, Brooklyn has frequently attended parties, taken photos, and posted images with his wife's family. In 8/2025, the couple garnered attention when they held a vow renewal ceremony, with billionaire Nelson Peltz officiating at the Peltz estate in New York.
