Nicola Peltz Beckham is addressing recent drama in the most 2025 way possible with a single Instagram like. The Lola actress, 30, appeared to respond to speculation that she’s 'controlling' her husband Brooklyn Beckham, 26, by liking a fan comment dismissing the claim as 'absurd.'
The moment came after Nicola posted a birthday tribute to her father, billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz, on June 24. Amid well-wishes in the comments, one fan wrote: “The fact people are in this comment section talking bs about someone controlling a GROWN man is absurd... Leave them be and stop blaming women for everything.” Nicola liked the comment, seemingly aligning with the sentiment.
The move follows renewed online criticism after Nicola and Brooklyn skipped David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebration in London last May, fueling rumors of strain between the younger couple and Brooklyn’s famous parents, David and Victoria Beckham.
Some followers took to Nicola’s post to voice their disapproval, with one writing, “Funny how you’re so happy to be his daughter but you don't allow your husband to celebrate his own father.” Others suggested she was keeping Brooklyn from his family, continuing a narrative that’s persisted for months.
Despite the drama, the couple appeared united during Nelson’s 83rd birthday celebration, sharing photos from the party. Brooklyn even posted his own tribute to his father-in-law, writing “Happy Birthday, Nelson. We love you,” alongside a photo of the three posing together.
While neither Nicola nor Brooklyn has officially commented on the family tension, their social media activity continues to fuel speculation and, in some cases, defend their decisions without saying a word.
