Nicola Peltz shares how parents feel about husband Brooklyn Beckham
As Brooklyn Beckham’s relationship with his own family remains publicly fractured, his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham has revealed that her side couldn’t be more welcoming, treating him like one of their own from the start.
“[They welcomed him] like another son,” Nicola, 31, told Elle Spain in a profile published on Friday, 20 March.
“He gets along really well with my brothers. They play soccer together a lot.”
Nicola is one of eight children born to billionaire Nelson Peltz and model Claudia Heffner Peltz, giving Brooklyn a ready-made extended family to slot into.
The couple met in 2019 at a Halloween party, Nicola arrived dressed as a cat, and married in 2022.
She recalled the early days of their courtship with the kind of detail that suggests she’s replayed it many times.
“When I walked in, he was staring at me,” she said. Brooklyn was only in Los Angeles for ten days at the time, and Nicola, self-described as something of a homebody who goes to bed early, threw her usual habits out of the window to spend as much time with him as possible.
“We were together until 10 in the morning, driving around the city, exploring,” she said. “We made excuses not to be apart.”
It was a call to her mother the following morning that confirmed what she already suspected.
“She understood right away: ‘If you’ve stayed up this late, he’s The One,’ she said. She was right.”
The warmth of that reception from Nicola’s family stands in stark contrast to the situation with Brooklyn’s parents, David and Victoria Beckham.
In January, Brooklyn issued a lengthy public statement claiming his parents had been attempting to undermine his relationship since before the wedding, and alleging that they had pressured him to sign away the rights to his name in a deal he felt would affect him, Nicola and any future children.
“My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since,” he said.
Brooklyn also spoke about the personal toll of the estrangement, and the unexpected relief that has followed.
“I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety,” he wrote.
“For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared.”
He was unambiguous about his intentions going forward, saying he and Nicola simply wanted “peace, privacy and happiness.”
David and Victoria have not publicly responded to the allegations, though both posted birthday tributes for Brooklyn earlier in March when he turned 27.
A source close to the situation told Us Weekly that Brooklyn saw through it.
“He thinks it’s just another way for them to save face with the public and that it did not feel meaningful,” the insider said. “He is not letting any of the nonsense bother him.”
Audrey Beth Davis, the veteran entertainment publicist who helped shape the public image of some of the most iconic shows in television history, has died at the age of 82.
She passed away from natural causes on 1 May in Pennsylvania, surrounded by her family, friends, and those who cared for her.
Having spent decades at the heart of the industry, Davis was a well-respected figure known for her work on legendary series like The Golden Girls and the Law & Order franchise.
Born in Brooklyn in 1943, Davis started her career in television production on the panel game show The Match Game before finding her true calling in public relations.
After joining Stone Associates in the late 1970s, she was later recruited by Dick Lippin to join his new venture, which eventually became The Lippin Group in 1986.
Throughout her long career, she handled the publicity for a massive range of hits, from the light-hearted charm of The Love Boat and Empty Nest to the high-stakes drama of the Law & Order spin-offs and the major CBS miniseries Scarlett.
Davis remained a fixture at The Lippin Group until her retirement in 2008, earning a reputation for her professionalism and deep understanding of the TV landscape.
She is survived by her sisters, Rhonda and Sharon, as well as a large extended family of nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and nephews.
Her loss is felt deeply by her former colleagues and the many friends she made throughout her years in Hollywood.
For those wishing to pay their respects, a memorial service has been scheduled for 12:00 pm on 14 May at the Edward J. Kuhn Funeral Home in West Reading, Pennsylvania.
The family has suggested that, in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the St. Francis Home to honour her memory.
Her passing marks the end of an era for the many television productions that benefited from her dedicated work behind the scenes.
KARACHI: The AS-level Business Studies paper of Cambridge International Education (CIE) was reportedly leaked online, raising concerns over the exam security.
