Nicola Peltz Beckham posted a revealing nude photograph on Instagram Thursday, hours after she and husband Brooklyn Beckham appeared to make further public gestures toward her family while seemingly distanced from his own.
The actress, 31, shared the image from a dressing room, which highlighted a significant physical transformation. Peltz Beckham has been undergoing rigorous ballet training for an upcoming film role. She has reportedly lost weight and trained for four months for the part, which will see her act alongside Faye Dunaway.
Concurrently, Brooklyn Beckham, 27, posted a public tribute to his father-in-law, Nelson Peltz, on his 84th birthday. He shared a photo with Nelson at a family gathering in Florida, expressing his love and gratitude. Nicola Peltz Beckham also shared multiple posts celebrating her father's birthday with her family.
These public displays of affection for the Peltz family come amid an ongoing estrangement between Brooklyn Beckham and his parents, David and Victoria Beckham. He has not publicly acknowledged his parents' birthdays or other milestones for over a year, since their rift began around the time of David Beckham's 50th birthday. Reports indicate Brooklyn Beckham is frustrated by his parents' attempts to include him in public Father's Day posts, with a source suggesting he has asked them to cease contact.
Last year, Brooklyn Beckham reportedly blocked his parents on Instagram, and subsequent communications were allegedly handled through legal representatives. The situation intensified after Brooklyn Beckham released a two-part commercial for DoorDash, where he alluded to watching the FIFA World Cup from home, which was interpreted by some as a jab at his parents and a monetization of his family estrangement. This advertisement reportedly earned him over $1 million.
Friends of the Beckham family have expressed shock and described David and Victoria Beckham as "devastated and inconsolable" by their son's public statements and actions. In January, Brooklyn Beckham reportedly issued a statement denouncing his parents, claiming they had controlled him, driven a wedge between him and his wife, and caused him embarrassment, including an incident at his wedding.
