Nicola Peltz’s Father, Nelson Peltz, Breaks Silence on Ongoing Feud Between Brooklyn Beckham and His Parents
Billionaire investor Nelson Peltz has publicly addressed the high-profile family rift involving his daughter, actress Nicola Peltz, and her husband, Brooklyn Beckham, for the first time amid escalating tensions with the Beckham family.
The comments came during a Q&A session at the WSJ Invest Live event in West Palm Beach on February 3. Peltz, 83, was questioned about handling family matters under public scrutiny, drawing parallels to his experience in high-stakes negotiations.
With characteristic humor, Peltz responded to the topic by quipping, “Has my family been in the press lately? I haven’t noticed that at all.”
He then offered pointed advice on dealing with media attention: “My advice is to stay the hell out of the press. How much good did that do?”
Peltz declined to delve into specifics about the drama, stating, “My daughter and the Beckhams are a whole other story. That’s not for coverage here today.”
However, he made clear his unwavering support for the couple, adding, “But I’ll tell you my daughter’s great, my son-in-law, Brooklyn, is great, and I look forward to them having a long, happy marriage together.”
The remarks follow Brooklyn Beckham’s explosive public statement late last month, in which the 26-year-old chef and photographer confirmed his estrangement from his parents, David and Victoria Beckham. In a lengthy Instagram post, Brooklyn accused his parents of exerting control over much of his life and claimed they had attempted to undermine his relationship with Nicola, whom he married in April 2022. He explicitly stated he had no interest in reconciliation.
Reports of strain within the Beckham family have circulated since the wedding, with speculation focusing on alleged tensions involving Nicola and her in-laws. The couple has largely stayed out of the spotlight regarding the matter until Brooklyn’s recent outburst.
Nelson Peltz’s measured yet supportive comments stand in contrast to the more confrontational tone from Brooklyn, emphasizing family unity on his side while avoiding direct criticism of the Beckhams. The investor’s lighthearted deflection and well-wishes for the couple’s future underscore a desire to keep personal matters private amid ongoing media scrutiny.
As the situation continues to unfold, Peltz’s intervention highlights the broader challenges celebrity families face when personal disputes play out publicly.
