Nicola Peltz Shares Birthday Celebrations With Brooklyn Beckham

by

Nothing can stop Nicola Peltz Beckham from marking another trip around the sun.

Nicola Peltz celebrated her 31st birthday with a small gathering of family and friends, five days before her actual birthday. This comes as reports suggest she and her husband, Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, haven’t been spending much time with Brooklyn’s parents, David and Victoria Beckham.

Nicola celebrated her birthday on January 4th with two impressive cakes. One was a two-layered cake covered in pink fondant with white details, and the other was a sheet cake decorated with white frosting, colorful sprinkles, and a “Happy Birthday Nicola” message. In a TikTok video, she’s seen crouching beside her father, Nelson Peltz, who was sitting at the head of a long dining table while speaking with her.

The video included a quick shot of Nicola and Brooklyn, who got married in 2022, kissing in front of pink and white balloons. Nicola matched the party’s colors with a pink top and blue jeans, and Brooklyn, 26, dressed casually in an off-white collared shirt, black pants, and a dark baseball cap.

Honestly, this year’s birthday felt extra special! I shared a quick post celebrating, and just wrote ‘Best birthday yet!’ with a bunch of happy emojis – a cake, a little red bow, and a pink heart, of course. I’m truly feeling so grateful for everything right now.

The couple also seemed to celebrate the holidays with Nicola’s family, as she had previously posted Christmas photos with Brooklyn and her mother, Claudia Heffner Peltz, as well as someone named Nelson.

Nicola shared photos on Instagram on December 26th and wished everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, hoping their holidays would be full of love, peace, and happiness.

I’ve been following Nicola and Brooklyn’s relationship with the Peltzes closely, and while they seem to be getting closer to her family, it feels like things are still a little tense with David and Victoria. I heard from Cruz that Nicola actually blocked David and Victoria on Instagram – can you believe that? And it was noticeable that David didn’t mention Brooklyn and Nicola in his New Year’s Eve post, which felt a bit pointed, honestly. It just makes you wonder where things stand between them all.

Despite the current issues, there’s still a chance for David and Brooklyn to mend their relationship. Later that day, David posted an old photo of himself with Brooklyn to his Instagram, adding a white heart and the message, “I love you all so much.”

As the Beckham family saga continues, keep reading for a closer look at how the drama began…

While there was no official requirement, many people expected Nicola Peltz Beckham to wear a wedding dress designed by her future mother-in-law, Victoria Beckham, when she married Brooklyn Beckham in April 2022. The wedding took place at the Peltz family estate in Palm Beach, Florida.

So when she didn’t, going with Valentino Couture instead… Bad blood alert!

Nicola kept quiet about the issue for months, but eventually confirmed there wasn’t any major conflict surrounding the dress. She did hint at some disappointment, though, because she wasn’t able to wear a custom dress designed by Victoria Beckham.

In August 2022, Nicola told Variety that she had initially planned to wear a dress by this designer and was excited to do so. However, a few months later, the designer informed her that her workshop wasn’t able to create the dress in time, forcing Nicola to choose a different one. Nicola clarified that the designer never forbade her from wearing it, and she never expressed a lack of interest in doing so. The initial misunderstanding then escalated in the media.

Oh my gosh, Brooklyn said the most amazing thing! She totally gets it – the haters are always going to try and bring people down, write negative things, you know? But she says everyone on set actually gets along, and that makes me SO happy! It’s like, yes! Focus on the good stuff, and ignore the negativity! I’m just so proud of her for saying that, it’s so mature and real.

Speaking to Grazia the following month, Nicola called the Beckhams “great in-laws.”

Victoria, who rarely addresses gossip, finally described the Peltz-Beckham wedding as “beautiful.”

“Seeing my son this happy is everything,” she shared on TODAY that October. “You can’t ask for anything more.”

Tom Cruise and all four of Victoria Beckham’s former Spice Girls bandmates attended her elegant 50th birthday celebration on April 20, 2024, though her daughter-in-law was unable to make it.

Nicola shared on Instagram that she was visiting her grandmother, who sadly passed away less than a month later.

Nicola shared a birthday message for Victoria Beckham on Instagram, saying she was sad to miss the celebration but sending lots of love from her and her nanny. She also posted a sweet message on Victoria’s actual birthday, April 17th, with a photo of them together, writing, “I love you so much and love being your dance partner forever.”

Naunni’s death deeply affected Nicola, and many others shared their grief. Brooklyn posted a heartfelt message on Instagram marking the one-year anniversary of Naunni’s passing, remembering her infectious happiness and how she always brought joy to those around her. Brooklyn expressed immense sadness that her future children wouldn’t have the chance to know Naunni, describing her as a truly unique and irreplaceable person who is missed every day.

In a June 2024 interview with InStyle, Brooklyn reflected on his upbringing – growing up with a famous footballer father and a Spice Girl mother – and said he had a very happy childhood.

He admitted things were busy, but said he had amazing parents and really enjoyed himself.

Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz spent some of the 2024 holidays with Nicola’s family, and photos shared by David and Victoria Beckham showed the whole family enjoying time together in the present, making it clear there were no lingering issues from the past or worries about the future.

Victoria shared a series of photos and wrote a sweet message about how happy she is to be spending the holidays with her family, adding ‘I love you all so much’ and tagging her children and daughter-in-law.

I’ve been following the Beckham family for years, and it was definitely strange not seeing Brooklyn and Nicola in any of the photos from David’s 50th birthday party in London this May. There hasn’t been any official explanation given, but they were clearly missing from the family celebrations, which everyone noticed.

According to a source at TopMob News, the couple traveled to England, choosing to miss the Met Gala on May 5th, because they wanted to visit David and celebrate his birthday with him that week or weekend.

According to a source who spoke with People magazine, Brooklyn Beckham decided against going to David’s party because he didn’t want to encounter his brother Romeo’s girlfriend at the time, DJ Kim Turnbull. Turnbull had been attending more and more family events, including Victoria Beckham’s show at Paris Fashion Week in March 2025, ever since she and Romeo publicly began dating in November 2024.

When someone on Instagram wondered why Brooklyn Beckham missed his dad’s party, seemingly to be with Kim, Brooklyn’s younger brother, Cruz Beckham, clarified that “Brooklyn and Kim never dated.”

TopMob News reported in June 2025 that Romeo and Kim have split up, suggesting a get-together between Romeo and his brother might be a good idea.

The wedding is facing even more drama! The couple’s first dance didn’t go smoothly, and it’s still not clear what exactly happened.

According to a source who spoke with TopMob News in May 2025, Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz expected Marc Anthony to perform their first dance. However, Anthony surprised everyone by announcing, “Please welcome to the stage the most beautiful woman in the room—Victoria Beckham.” This left Brooklyn feeling unsure and put him in an uncomfortable position.

Nicola briefly left the wedding reception in tears, but she returned and managed to compose herself to enjoy the rest of the celebration.

While the situation was upsetting, it didn’t stop David from being a best man at Marc’s wedding to Nadia Ferreira in January 2023. However, it’s easy to see why Nadia might have been more affected by it.

According to a source, Brooklyn and Nicola have genuinely tried to build a relationship with his family over the years, but things are currently strained.

As a little peek into their life, Brooklyn Beckham shared a super sweet Instagram post back in May 2025 where he called Nicola Peltz his “whole world.” He really poured his heart out, saying he’d always choose her and that she’s the most amazing person he knows – a total declaration of forever! It was a really touching moment to see their love on display.

Ugh, it’s always the same! Whenever anyone starts asking questions, they immediately lawyer up. And honestly, that story about Nicola crying at her wedding three years ago? It felt like a warning, a sign of all the drama that was about to explode. I just knew it meant things were going to get even messier, and I was right!

After reports surfaced that Brooklyn and Nicola had hired a lawyer previously known for working with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, a source confirmed to TopMob News that the couple do have legal representation, but it’s not related to managing their public image.

Instead, they’ve brought in Jenny Afi, a lawyer from the U.K. firm Schillings, to correct inaccuracies and fight the spread of false information.

Although the law firm represents the Sussexes – and had David and Victoria Beckham as wedding guests in 2018 – a source confirmed there’s no link between this situation and Meghan and Harry. The source emphasized that Schillings is a well-regarded firm with many different clients.

The source pointed out that this situation itself proved the value of having a lawyer – to correct false information and ensure the truth is known.

David received a knighthood in November 2025, but Brooklyn and Nicola didn’t say anything publicly about it. They also weren’t at the MLS Cup final in December 2025 when David’s team, Inter Miami CF, won—only Victoria, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper were there to celebrate.

In late December 2025, rumors spread that David and Victoria Beckham had blocked their son Brooklyn on Instagram. Cruz Beckham quickly dismissed these rumors, confirming they were not true.

He denied the claims on Instagram Stories, stating, “My parents would never unfollow me.” He clarified that they, like him, were unexpectedly blocked from accessing accounts, and asked people to get the facts straight.

Brooklyn Beckham chose to celebrate Christmas 2025 with his wife Nicola’s family, including her parents Claudia Heffner Peltz and Nelson Peltz, rather than joining his own family. His younger brother, Cruz, stayed home with their parents for the holidays.

David recently shared a year-in-review, posting photos with family and friends from 2025. Notably absent from the pictures were his oldest son and Nicola, Brooklyn’s wife, fueling speculation about a family disagreement.

An hour later, David posted old photos of himself with each of his and Victoria’s children, sharing a heartfelt “I love you all so much” alongside a black-and-white picture of Brooklyn.
