Actress Nicola Peltz has taken a dramatic step in the ongoing dispute between her and her husband Brooklyn Beckham’s famous family by removing virtually all references to the Beckhams from her Instagram account. This includes once-affectionate posts featuring his parents David and Victoria Beckham, signalling a sharp escalation in what has become one of Hollywood’s most talked-about family tensions.
Peltz’s recent social media purge came shortly after reports emerged that Brooklyn had blocked his parents and siblings on Instagram, cutting off direct digital connection with them. These actions have shocked fans and raised questions about the future of their familial relationships.
The Latest Social Media Moves
The decision to scrub the Beckham family from her social media follows weeks of speculation about the state of Peltz and Brooklyn’s ties with his parents. Among the deleted content was a 2024 post in which Peltz celebrated Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday with praise and affection. The removal of these posts has been interpreted by many commentators as a decisive break rather than a temporary cooling of relations. While Peltz removed photos related to the Beckhams, she reportedly left one image intact — a picture with Brooklyn’s grandmother, suggesting selective trimming rather than a complete severing of every familial link.
What Sparked the Rift?
Observers have traced the conflict back several years, with roots possibly stretching as far back as the couple’s wedding in April 2022. One point of alleged tension centred on Peltz’s choice not to wear a gown designed by Victoria Beckham for the ceremony, which some insiders believed strained relations early on. Since then, there have been multiple moments that highlighted the growing distance between the couple and the Beckham clan. For example, Brooklyn and Nicola were noticeably absent from David Beckham’s 50th birthday party in May 2025 — even though they were reportedly in London at the time. That absence fuelled rumours of a deeper disconnect. In the summer of 2025, Brooklyn and Nicola renewed their wedding vows in New York, an event where no Beckham family members were present. This was widely seen by observers as another sign that the relationship between the two sides was not healthy.
Legal Steps and Communication Breakdown
More recently, reports suggest the feud has taken a legal dimension. According to various sources, Brooklyn issued a formal letter to his parents, instructing them to communicate only through lawyers and not to tag him in social media posts. The legal notice came after a disagreement over social media interactions — reportedly after Victoria “liked” a video Brooklyn posted, which he interpreted as a violation of his wishes. Brooklyn’s blocks on Instagram reportedly extend to his parents, his brothers, and even his sister — effectively cutting digital ties with the entire immediate Beckham family.
Public Responses and Family Reactions
Despite the rift, David and Victoria Beckham have publicly tried to extend peace offerings. David has shared affectionate posts about his children, though these gestures have gone unacknowledged by Brooklyn and Nicola online. Victoria, for her part, has posted supportive tributes in the past — including celebrating Peltz’s professional achievements — but these gestures now stand in stark contrast to Peltz’s recent deletions. There have also been sporadic signs of differing attitudes within the Beckham family. For example, Brooklyn celebrated Christmas 2025 with Peltz’s family rather than with his own, while his siblings remained with David and Victoria, underscoring how the divide has played out in real life as well as online.
What This Means Going Forward
At present, there is no public indication that the feud is near a resolution. The social media purges, blocking, and legal warnings suggest deep emotional and personal fractures that go beyond typical family disagreements in the public eye. Whether this is a permanent break or a phase that could heal over time remains to be seen, but for now, the Beckham-Peltz dynamic continues to be a major point of interest for fans worldwide.
