Despite jetting to London from their LA home last week, Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz were nowhere to be seen at David's A-List bash in Kensington on Saturday evening.

Nor did they attend family celebrations in France on Friday, or the big party at the Beckhams' £10millionm Cotswolds mansion on Wednesday evening. This, added to Brooklyn's failure to wish his dad happy birthday or send congratulations to his mum when she turned 51 two weeks ago sends a very pointed message.

‌

Yet, apparently, Nicola's relationship with her in-laws is at the heart of the feud and has led Brooklyn to no longer talk to his family. It comes after Brooklyn is said to no longer be speaking to younger brother Romeo after he began dating his ex Kim Turnbull.

‌

A source told the Mail on Sunday that the couple's absence on Saturday evening was "all about Nicola". They continued: "Weeks ago Brooklyn told them he would be there and they were expecting Nicola. Now David and Victoria have no idea what is going on. The French trip was to be the really special family time away but they didn’t go. Then, after days of leaving his parents on tenterhooks, he and Nicola didn’t go to Core either."

The discord between Nicola and Victoria runs deep. Ever since Nicola and Brooklyn became an item in October 2019, tensions have grown and things have reportedly "not been the same" between Brooklyn and his parents.

However, it was during wedding planning that things truly came to boiling point. Victoria is said to have found it "difficult" taking a back seat during the planning of Brooklyn and Nicola's wedding. The major point of contention came as Nicola's family – headed by American businessman Nelson Peltz, 79, who is worth a reported £1.3 billion – took care of all the planning.

As a result, a £3 million ceremony was held at one of the Peltz’s family homes – a £76million oceanfront mansion in Miami while three giant marquees offered shelter to the A-List guests and housed a dance floor, catering area and more. Victoria had reportedly wanted the wedding to be held closer to home.

‌

A source told new! magazine at the time: “Victoria likes to take control of things but this wedding was completely organised by Nicola’s family. She had to take a back seat, which she found a bit difficult. But she understood and just wanted them to have the best day.”

During the big day, Nicola is also reported to have "stormed off" in the middle of her wedding reception after Victoria "stole" her first dance. She is said to have ended up "crying her eyes out" over the moment

A source told the Daily Mail that Nicola was in floods of tears after her first dance - planned to be You Sang To Me, sung live by US singer Marc Anthony was switched "at the request of Victoria."

‌

There was later a speech by the singer which was described as "gushing." The source said: "It was totally just an ode to Victoria and how awesome she is. "

A source said that Marc, who reportedly performed at the wedding, had asked the couple to pick a song to dedicate to them and You Sang to Me was their "favourite".

‌

They claimed that the bride left the room because it was thought that he was going to introduce the newlyweds for a special dance to the love song that they had chosen.

The source however claimed: "But without any warning and at the request of Victoria, Marc switched it to a mother-son dance using the same song".

During the ceremony, it was also noted that Nicola had opted to wear couture Valentino dress— despite the initial plan being for her to wear a specially-made dress designed by Victoria.

‌

However, Nicola later hit back claiming that Victoria had ghosted her over the dress, and that the former pop star had phoned her mum Claudia Heffner Peltz after days of "silence" saying that she couldn't make it.

Responding to the reported feud at the time, Nicola has said that it "hurts [her] feelings" and insists that David and Victoria Beckham are "great in-laws".

‌

However, while speaking to Grazia USA, she appeared to hint that there may have been some tension surrounding the wedding dress debacle.

“Well, I was planning on wearing Victoria’s wedding dress," she explained. "I was truly so excited to be able to wear a design that my future mother-in-law created. We connected to start designing the dress, and then a few days went by and I didn’t hear anything. Victoria called my mom and said her atelier couldn’t make it.

‌

"So, I spoke to my mom and Leslie [Nicola’s close friend and stylist, stylist Leslie Fremar], and I was like, ‘Well, unfortunately, this can’t happen, so what’s the next step?’"

Further addressing the feud, Nicola said: "When I read things that say [things like] I was never planning on wearing a [Victoria Beckham] dress or things like that, it does hurt my feelings. I try not to let it, but it’s just not the truth. It’s just a bit of a bummer when you’re like, ‘Oh, people think that,’ but it’s just not true."

Following the wedding drama, Brooklyn failed to turn up to his maternal grandfather Anthony Adams' wedding. He has since also snubbed the Beckhams' family holidays last summer in Europe and Canada. He was also a no-show at Romeo's birthdays in London and Vegas over the last few years.

‌

Last month, Victoria appeared to send a coded message to daughter-in-law Nicola as she sported a custom corset she designed for her daughter-in-law. She wore the jaw-dropping plunge outfit, which was originally created by Victoria for Nicola, to her 51st birthday.

Nicola had worn the corset at the premiere of her film Lola last year, and in April 2024, she shared a throwback photo with Victoria to mark her 50th birthday, writing, “Happy Birthday to my beautiful MIL.” However, this week, Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola failed to acknowledge Victoria’s birthday, sparking speculation of tension within the family.

While there was speculation that the feud surrounded Romeo's girlfriend, a source told the Mail: "This is nothing to do with Kim and is all about Nicola,’ said a friend. ‘All David and Victoria want is their son back – and they will be there to welcome him any time."
