Many commenters expressed disapproval of Brooklyn appearing with his wife's family amid reports of him ignoring his own parents. Some accused Nicola of controlling her husband, referencing Brooklyn's absence from his father David Beckham's 50th birthday. They urged her to encourage reconciliation with his family.
However, others defended Nicola Peltz, calling the criticism unreasonable. They argued that many people are unaware of the details of the alleged feud between Brooklyn and Nicola and the Beckhams, yet they judge the couple as if they know everything.
One comment that caught attention, liked by Nicola, read, "It's absurd that people comment nonsense about someone controlling a grown man. Brooklyn is an adult capable of making his own decisions. Leave them alone and stop blaming women for everything."
Brooklyn also posted a photo with his father-in-law alongside a heart emoji a day later. As in previous instances, many criticized his apparent estrangement from his parents and closeness to his wife's family. Some suggested he should drop the Beckham name and take Peltz. "That name is the only thing that makes you famous, you don't deserve it if you keep abandoning your family—the people who gave you everything," one Instagram user commented.

Brooklyn's alleged rift with the Beckhams began over three months ago, with the cause remaining unclear. He stopped posting about his family around Christmas 2024—the point believed to mark the start of the conflict. Before that, the couple frequently met and shared photos with his parents and siblings, appearing harmonious. Recently, they have been absent from major Beckham family events, including his parents' birthdays and his father receiving a knighthood in June.
Brooklyn Beckham, 26, born in England, is a well-known "nepo baby," consistently supported by his parents in pursuing his passions. He has worked as a model, barista, photographer, collaborated on a pop-up restaurant, and hosted a cooking show, but has yet to achieve significant recognition. He currently runs the hot sauce brand Cloud23.
Nicola Peltz, 30, born in the US, has acted since age 11, with breakthrough roles in *The Last Airbender* (2010) and *Transformers: Age of Extinction* (2014). She was named one of *Us* magazine's Best Dressed Stars of 2022.
The couple first met at Coachella 2019 through her brother, Diesel. They began dating around Halloween and have been "inseparable ever since." Their wedding took place in 4/2022, costing nearly four million USD. They currently live and work in Los Angeles.
