In 2019, Nicola encountered Brooklyn Beckham, the son of football legend David Beckham and former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, at a Halloween bash hosted by Leonardo DiCaprio. Their chemistry was undeniable, leading to their first date that same night, still in their costumes. By January 2020, they had confirmed their relationship on Instagram, and their love story quickly unfolded. The couple married in April 2022 in Palm Beach, Florida, surrounded by loved ones, embarking on their journey as husband and wife. However, not everything has been smooth sailing, with some suggesting that Brooklyn and Nicola’s relationship may be less than harmonious.

Speculation has surfaced over the years about disapproval from Brooklyn’s parents, suggesting tension within the family. In January 2026, Brooklyn took to Instagram Stories with a lengthy message accusing his parents of trying to sabotage his relationship. The general belief is that David and Victoria aren’t fond of Nicola, and they may not be alone in this sentiment.

Nicola Peltz once shared a close friendship with Selena Gomez, whom she met at the Academy Gala. Their bond was immediate. “We became super, super close. I feel like she’s my soul sister,” Nicola expressed to Cosmopolitan in a March 2023 interview. Despite their once frequent meet-ups, rumors of a rift emerged when they weren’t seen together for a while. The talk intensified after Nicola and Brooklyn missed Gomez’s wedding to Benny Blanco in September 2025. A source revealed to ET that “Brooklyn and Nicola weren’t invited to Selena’s wedding and didn’t expect to be,” hinting at a possible fallout between the former close friends.

Nicola Peltz used to be really good friends with Selena Gomez. The two met at the Academy Gala and had an instant connection. “We became super, super close. I feel like she’s my soul sister. I love her so much. She’s truly one of the most amazing people I’ve ever met in my whole life. The kindest person ever. Truly, her heart is gold. I feel like I’ve known her forever,” Peltz told Cosmopolitan in an interview published in March 2023. The two women spent time together — whenever their respective schedules would allow — but after they weren’t seen together for a bit, rumors of a feud surfaced. When Peltz and her husband were absent from Gomez’s wedding to Benny Blanco in September 2025, those feud rumors kicked into high gear. One source told ET, “Brooklyn and Nicola weren’t invited to Selena’s wedding and didn’t expect to be,” which makes it sound like things went seriously wrong between the former besties. 

Another source told People magazine that the two women didn’t necessarily have any “bad blood,” but that they had simply grown apart. “Relationships evolve, and it’s true they’re not as close as they once were, but there wasn’t any one thing that happened,” the insider explained. Of course, one could argue that something must have happened to cause a rift in the relationship less than two years after Peltz called Gomez her “soul sister,” but People’s source maintained, “There’s nothing but love and well wishes from them for Selena and Benny.”

Many women are (unfortunately) familiar with the idea of not getting along with their mother-in-law, and this has been the case for feuding in-laws Nicola Peltz and Victoria Beckham — but it wasn’t always the case. The two seemed to get along swimmingly and would be very affectionate whenever making appearances together, but something clearly changed. In May 2025, a source told People magazine that there was an apparent disconnect between Peltz and Victoria that started when Victoria offered to design Peltz’s wedding gown. “Nicola said it would be her honor, that she would love to wear one of her originals,” the source said. As time went by, however, the dress allegedly became less of a priority for Victoria, which left Peltz with no other option. 

In his January 2026 statement, Brooklyn Beckham confirmed these reports, saying (via USA Today), “My mum cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress.” Elsewhere, Brooklyn accused his mom of sabotaging his first dance. “She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life,” he wrote. And while we haven’t yet heard Victoria’s side of the story at the time of this writing, it’s safe to say that she and Peltz do not get along.

Celebrity hairstylist — and Kristin Cavallari’s BFF — Justin Anderson is well known and well respected in the entertainment industry, and he’s worked with some of the biggest names in the biz, from Miley Cyrus to Hailey Bieber. But Anderson previously had a major falling out with Nicola Peltz. She claimed that Anderson “burned her hair off” while turning her bleach blond for her role in “Transformers: Age of Extinction,” which was released in 2014. Naturally, Anderson has defended himself. “I remember this one time, the worst of the worst of the worst — there was this one little diva girl. She was the new ‘Transformers’ girl, her name was Nicola Peltz. … She is actually a monster,” Anderson said on a 2019 episode of his “In the Chair” podcast (via the Daily Mail).  

After Brooklyn Beckham spoke out about what’s been going on with his family behind closed doors, Anderson spoke out again. “Based on how many wedding planners she went through I think she’s the issue,” Anderson said on his Instagram Stories (via the Daily Mail). “When someone is not nice it always comes out. You can’t hide that,” he added.

You might be wondering how Nicola Peltz’s past relationships fared and whether or not she’s had any other issues with other families, and, rumor has it, she has. Before there was Brooklyn Beckham, Peltz dated model Anwar Hadid. As the news reports go, Peltz did not have a great relationship with Anwar’s mother, former “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Yolanda Hadid, though it’s unclear when things may have soured. According to the Mirror, Yolanda expressed her support for Victoria Beckham by responding to one of her Instagram posts with a heart emoji after Brooklyn and Peltz didn’t attend David Beckham’s 50th birthday party in 2025.

Sources told the Daily Mail that Yolanda and some other family members disapproved of Anwar and Peltz’s relationship, with one issue being that Peltz started dating him when she was 22 and he was just 17. “It had started so well but they later began to no longer think the relationship was the best idea for Anwar. … They feared he was struggling, going out with a woman who was older than him at such a formative time in his life,” an insider said. Yolanda has never publicly shared any of the details behind her son’s 18-month romance with Peltz. Fans have been very curious about the rumors, however, which resurfaced after Brooklyn confirmed that he’s estranged from his family.
