Nicola Peltz makes bold move to avoid backlash amid husband Brooklyn Beckham’s ongoing family feud
Nicola Peltz has taken decisive action to shield her marriage from public scrutiny, making the “bold move” to disable comments on her social media accounts as the feud between her husband, Brooklyn Beckham, and his famous family reaches a fever pitch.
The 30-year-old actress and director, who has faced a barrage of online criticism since rumors of a rift with her in-laws began in 2022, reportedly flipped the switch on her Instagram privacy settings this week. The decision comes in the wake of a fresh wave of backlash following her New Year’s celebrations, which many fans interpreted as a calculated snub against David and Victoria Beckham.
The “Dig” That Sparked the Silence
The latest round of hostility was triggered by Nicola’s New Year’s post, in which she shared intimate photos of her celebrations with Brooklyn and her own family, the Peltzes. Captioning the gallery, she wrote, “So grateful to start the New Year with these beautiful humans.”
While on the surface a harmless tribute, the post was quickly seized upon by critics as a “dig” at the Beckhams, notably excluding any mention of her husband’s family despite the holiday season. Before comments were disabled, users had flooded the post with questions about why she wasn’t “showing love” to her in-laws and accusations that she was driving a wedge between Brooklyn and his parents.
“The negativity became overwhelming,” a source close to the couple revealed. “Nicola wants to focus on her happiness and her marriage, not the noise from strangers who don’t know the full story.”
A “Toxic” Digital Landscape
The move to silence her comment section marks a significant shift for the actress, who has previously used her platform to subtly address family rumors—often with cryptic quotes about “people who make you feel bad.” However, the atmosphere surrounding the clan has turned toxic in recent weeks.
Just days prior, Brooklyn’s younger brother, Cruz Beckham, publicly confirmed that communication had broken down entirely, revealing that his parents had “woken up blocked” by Brooklyn on social media. This revelation turned the comments sections of both Nicola and Brooklyn’s accounts into battlegrounds for warring fanbases—those supporting “Brand Beckham” and those defending the young couple’s right to boundaries.
Parties and Provocations
The social media blackout coincides with Nicola’s 31st birthday festivities. Brooklyn, 26, reportedly organized a lavish ballerina-themed party for his wife this past weekend, a celebration attended by the Peltz clan but devoid of any Beckham presence.
The distance is now starkly physical as well as digital. Throughout 2025, the couple skipped major Beckham milestones, including David’s 50th birthday and his knighthood ceremony. Meanwhile, Victoria Beckham has appeared to engage in the digital skirmish herself; last week, she posted a video of her and David dancing to the Barbra Streisand song “Guilty,” which many tabloids and fans interpreted as a veiled message to her estranged son and daughter-in-law.
By turning off her comments, Nicola Peltz appears to be drawing a final line in the sand: while the private feud may be escalating, the public debate on her page is officially over.
