Nicola Peltz’s billionaire father Nelson breaks his silence on the Beckham feud after son-in-law Brooklyn’s scathing statement

Nicola Peltz’s billionaire father Nelson has broken his silence on the Beckham feud.

Brooklyn, Nelson’s 26-year-old son-in-law, recently used Instagram to state he doesn’t want to repair his relationship with his parents, Victoria, 51, and Sir David, 50. He claims they deliberately tried to end his marriage to his 30-year-old wife.

At an event in West Palm Beach on Tuesday, 83-year-old Nelson discussed the ongoing issues within his family during a question-and-answer session.

The business leader mentioned his daughter and the Beckhams are a separate topic he won’t discuss today. He did share that he thinks his daughter and her husband, Brooklyn, are wonderful and hopes they have a lasting, joyful marriage.

Nelson was asked if he’d offered the couple guidance during a tough time. He responded by saying he does offer advice, but sometimes the roles are reversed and they offer advice to him.

Nicola Peltz’s father is significantly wealthier than David and Victoria Beckham. He has a net worth of $1.6 billion, while the Beckhams are worth $680 million.

In a recent appearance on The Rest Is Entertainment podcast, Marina Hyde shared that, according to her sources, the Beckhams do financially support Brooklyn, but not to an excessive degree. They reportedly hope he’ll eventually become self-sufficient and independent.

Nelson Peltz might disagree with this report, but sources say he once told someone he gives his daughter a $1 million monthly allowance.

The Beckhams never imagined their children would be the ones signing prenuptial agreements – they always expected it would be themselves.

Since Brooklyn publicly explained why he was ending his relationship with his family, they haven’t said anything. They’ve remained completely silent.

The influencer claimed he was previously dominated by his family, who prioritized appearing successful over everything else. He also stated that being with his wife, Nicola, has helped him overcome severe anxiety and finally find peace.

He wrote: ‘I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private.

It’s been a really tough time lately. My parents and their representatives keep sharing things with the media that just aren’t accurate, so I feel I need to step in and set the record straight – at least about some of what’s been said. It’s important to me that people hear the truth directly from me.

I’ve decided not to try and repair things with my family. It’s not about letting them control me; it’s about finally asserting my own needs and boundaries, which I haven’t done before.

‘For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family.

I grew up surrounded by showy displays on social media, obligatory family gatherings, and relationships that often felt fake.

I’ve been absolutely shocked lately by how far certain people will go to spread lies through the media. It’s usually done to protect themselves, and it always seems to hurt innocent people in the process. But I truly believe that, eventually, the truth always finds a way to surface.

He explained that his parents have consistently tried to sabotage his relationship, starting even before his wedding, and they still haven’t let up.

My mom unexpectedly cancelled making Nicola’s dress right before the event, even though Nicola was really looking forward to wearing it. This left Nicola scrambling to find a replacement.

In the weeks leading up to my wedding, my parents constantly pressured me – even offering money – to give up the legal rights to my name. This would have impacted not only me, but also my wife and any children we might have.

They insisted I sign the agreement before my wedding, as that would start the deal’s terms.

‘My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since.’

To make matters worse, he explained that his mother had even called him ‘evil’ during wedding planning. This was because he and his wife, Nicola, decided to seat his grandmother, Nanny Sandra, and Nicola’s grandmother at their table, as both of their husbands had passed away.

‘Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours.

The night before my wedding, some family members pointed out that Nicola wasn’t related to me by blood and therefore wasn’t truly family.

Ever since I began asserting myself with my family, my parents have relentlessly attacked me, both in private and by leaking information to the press.

It really hurt when even my own brothers turned on me online, launching attacks before completely cutting me off last summer – it felt so sudden and unexpected.

My mom unexpectedly interrupted my first dance with my wife. We’d carefully planned it for weeks, choosing a beautiful, romantic song.

During our wedding reception, with 500 guests watching, Marc Anthony invited me on stage. I was supposed to have my first dance with my wife, but surprisingly, my mother was there waiting to dance with me instead.

She danced suggestively on me in public, and it was incredibly embarrassing and made me feel deeply uncomfortable. It was the most humiliating experience of my life.

We decided to renew our vows to make fresh, happy memories of our wedding day, replacing any past stress or awkwardness with joy.

My family has repeatedly shown a lack of respect towards my wife, despite our efforts to build a unified relationship.

My mother has consistently invited women I used to know into our family life, and it’s obvious she’s trying to make both of us feel awkward.

Even though things were tough, we still made it to London for my dad’s birthday. It was frustrating, though, because we ended up stuck in our hotel room for a week, trying to figure out how to spend some quality time with him. It felt like everything was on hold, and we just wanted to celebrate!

He wouldn’t agree to anything unless it was done at his large birthday party, with a hundred guests and cameras everywhere.

He only agreed to meet with me if I didn’t bring Nicola, which really hurt. Then, when my family visited Los Angeles, they wouldn’t even see me.

‘My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first.

These days, it often seems like ‘family love’ is measured by social media posts or rushing to be in family photos, even if it means neglecting work or other commitments.

For years, we made a special effort to attend all fashion shows, parties, and press events, presenting a picture of a flawless family.

My wife once asked my mother for help rescuing dogs affected by the Los Angeles fires, but my mother said no.

People seem to think my wife is the one calling the shots, but that’s just not true at all. Honestly, I’ve always been the one being controlled – it was my parents for most of my life, and it’s definitely not my wife now. It’s a complete misunderstanding.

I struggled with severe anxiety for most of my life. But since becoming independent and moving away from my family, I’ve finally found relief.

‘I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief.

My wife and I simply want a peaceful, private life and happiness for our family, away from public attention and manufactured narratives.
