“Nicola Peltz, the Beckhams’ Eldest Daughter-in-Law: Controlling Wife or Victim of Victoria’s Mom-in-Law Tyranny?”

Tensions between Victoria and Nicola are escalating.

Specifically, Nicola Peltz is unhappy with Beckham’s frequent scolding of her son over the phone, sometimes lasting up to an hour. The American model believes that her in-laws are showing off and becoming increasingly selfish by putting too much pressure on Brooklyn.

Not only is Brooklyn arguing with his parents, but he is also not on speaking terms with his brother, Romeo. The relationship between the two brothers is no longer as close as it used to be. There are reports that Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn have been trying for months to communicate with their parents to resolve the conflict, but to no avail. The famous former footballer and his wife also do not want their daughter-in-law to be involved in conversations between family members.

Beck-Vic has almost given up on repairing their relationship with their son and daughter-in-law.

According to a source: “Nicola always stands up for Brooklyn and doesn’t hesitate to react to her in-laws.” Meanwhile, Beckham and Victoria have almost “given up” and no longer want to resolve the issues with their eldest son and his wife. However, neither party has officially addressed these reports.

Many believe that Victoria Beckham is deliberately oppressing her daughter-in-law, making Nicola a victim in the family conflict. However, according to Page Six, the former Spice Girls member is exhausted by the ongoing family drama.

Nicola and Brooklyn did not celebrate Victoria’s birthday.

Last month, Brooklyn and his wife did not attend Victoria’s birthday celebration in the US. They also ignored Beckham’s birthday on May 2, neither posting a photo nor sending their well wishes. In response, Beck-Vic chose to remain silent on their third wedding anniversary.

Turning 50 without his eldest son and daughter-in-law present left Beckham feeling disappointed. There are reports that Brooklyn texted his father to wish him a happy birthday and hoped for a private meeting, but this was not accepted. Beck-Vic only agreed to meet if Brooklyn attended the main party at the Core restaurant in London.

Many believe that Nicola is controlling her husband.

“Brooklyn is sad that Nicola is always blamed for the rift with the family. She has never told him what to do and always supports him – she is a loyal wife,” a source shared.

What hurts Nicola is that she has always shown support for her in-laws, from attending her mother-in-law’s fashion shows to promoting her products on social media. However, she does not receive the same level of support in return. When Nicola asked Victoria to share about her dog rescue organization, Yogi’s House, during the Los Angeles wildfires in January, Victoria refused, citing that her communications team was “temporarily not posting.”

Nicola and Brooklyn are the cause of Victoria’s nightmare.

An insider shared with The Sun: “This is the worst nightmare in Victoria’s life. It’s been difficult since Brooklyn married Nicola, with a lot of disagreements with the family. Victoria and Beckham have been trying to get things back on track.”

Many comments on social media assert that Nicola Peltz is indeed an ungrateful daughter-in-law, intentionally driving a wedge between Brooklyn and his family despite the love and support he once received from Beck-Vic. Some even suggest that the actress has “controlled” Brooklyn and manipulated him like a puppet.

Meanwhile, Victoria is eager to mend the relationships and improve the family dynamics. The former singer is reportedly “willing to do anything to get her son back” but is “fed up” with the ungrateful daughter-in-law.

Reasons for the Strained Relationship between Daughter-in-law and In-laws

In reality, Nicola Peltz, born into a wealthy family and doted on by her parents, has a strong sense of self-worth. Since her relationship and marriage to Brooklyn, she has constantly been compared to her mother-in-law by the public. This has bothered the actress, and she even felt envious of Victoria at times. The billionaire’s daughter once worried that her mother-in-law would outshine her at their century wedding.

Nicola’s father is a billionaire, and she has a high sense of self-worth.

And it all started with Brooklyn and Nicola’s lavish wedding, held at Nicola’s family’s $123 million (2.877 trillion VND) mansion and fully funded by her father, billionaire Nelson Peltz. This alone was enough to make Beck-Vic fade into the background.

It is worth noting that Nicola did not wear any outfits designed by her mother-in-law during the three-day wedding celebration, even though Victoria is a renowned designer with her own fashion label. The billionaire’s daughter did not want her mother-in-law involved in any aspect of her wedding.

After the century wedding, the relationship between Nicola and her mother-in-law changed.

Additionally, Beckham and Victoria were not invited to sit at the same table as the bride and groom, as is traditional, but instead with Nicola’s parents. Moreover, the speakers at the wedding were Nicola’s siblings, not any members of the Beckham family. In one way or another, Nicola always tried to ensure that her mother-in-law did not outshine her.

There were reports that Victoria interrupted Brooklyn and Nicola’s first dance by stepping onto the dance floor and pushing Nicola aside. This incident left the actress in tears. While Nicola later denied this and explained why she didn’t wear a Victoria Beckham design for her wedding dress, no one believed her. From then on, the relationship between Nicola and Victoria soured.

Victoria sensed Nicola’s special attitude towards her.

In response to her daughter-in-law’s actions, Victoria has always chosen to be tactful, hoping that Nicola would become closer to her family. The designer wants to foster a good relationship between herself and Nicola and even tried to reconcile Nicola with Brooklyn’s ex-girlfriend, but to no avail.

Furthermore, leading Hollywood media outlets analyzed that Nicola’s actions made Victoria feel disrespected, leading to a strained relationship between the two. When Nicola tried to pull Brooklyn to her side and away from his mother, it further escalated the tension between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

In April 2023, TMZ reported that Brooklyn and Romeo were arguing over a woman and had stopped speaking to each other. The reason was that Romeo was dating Kim Turnbull, Brooklyn’s ex-girlfriend. Brooklyn felt that Kim was not “serious” about her relationship with his younger brother. Meanwhile, Romeo was upset that his older brother interfered in his choice of partner.

Romeo’s new girlfriend, who is Brooklyn’s ex, caused a rift in their brotherly relationship.

Additionally, there are rumors that Brooklyn and Romeo’s rift is due to Victoria choosing Romeo as the heir to her $129 million (3.3 billion VND) fashion empire. Brooklyn feels abandoned by his parents.

At the time, Daily Mail wrote: “It seems that Nicola is in control of everything. There must have been arguments in the family, and Brooklyn feels that he cannot continue to meet with them.”

How Good was the Relationship Between Victoria Beckham and Nicola Peltz?

In reality, when Nicola first started dating Brooklyn, Victoria Beckham was very supportive of their relationship. The designer always showed affection for the billionaire’s daughter. In the early days, Nicola and Victoria often interacted on social media, leading the public to believe that a wedding between the actress and the eldest Beckham son was imminent. This level of acceptance had not been seen with Brooklyn’s previous girlfriends.

When Nicola first dated Brooklyn, she was very much loved by Beck-Vic.

Additionally, on Nicola’s 27th birthday, Victoria sent her well wishes: “Happy birthday, Nicola. We all love you very much. Sending you a thousand kisses.”

Nicola was also often present during special occasions and family trips with the Beckhams whenever she had free time. She frequently appeared in family photos with the famous former footballer and his family. Nicola even referred to Harper, Brooklyn’s younger sister, as the best little sister she could have asked for.

Nicola used to have many photos taken with Beck-Vic before officially becoming their daughter-in-law.

Moreover, the actress often praised Victoria. She once complimented her mother-in-law as the woman with the most beautiful skin in an interview with Grazia magazine. Nicola also advertised Victoria’s beauty products on social media and to the press.

However, all these displays of affection occurred before Nicola officially married Brooklyn. After the century wedding, everything changed.
