In a recent step in a long-running family drama, actress and heiress Nicola Peltz Beckham posted something emotional and cryptic on Instagram Stories on May 30, 2025 which many fans and the media think may be targeting her in-laws, the Beckham family.
The statement was very direct but held a lot of meaning.
“If I could live every lifetime, I would always choose my mom to be my mom.” The statement about love was finished with a red heart.
The message wasn’t extremely direct, but it came exactly when issues between the Beckhams and Peltz family were back in the news.
Wedding Dancing and Drama That Lasts
Family tension was reported soon after the couple’s over-the-top Palm Beach wedding last year. Marc Anthony, a close friend of the Beckhams, invited Victoria to join him on stage and told her she was the most beautiful woman there, which made for an awkward moment, according to People’s source.

Nicola said the newlyweds had chosen a special dance, but this was forgotten after the unexpected tribute to their mother-in-law.
The source reported that Nicola was surprised and “believed that Victoria had spoilt her wedding and couldn’t understand the reason.”
Another insider who took part in the event refuted that version of events. Their account says that Nicola and Brooklyn had already danced the traditional ones with family members prior to Marc Anthony’s casual performance.
According to the source, it was really a fun moment where everyone was dancing, even Brooklyn and his mother.
The Dress That Kicked Off the Story?
Notwithstanding the wedding drama, there was a lot of talk about Nicola choosing not to wear a dress designed by Victoria Beckham for the ceremony which sparked several months of gossip in the tabloids.
A source told People that Victoria was excited about designing Nicola’s dress which Nicola agreed to. The deal was supposedly taken back as Victoria phoned Nicola’s mother to break off the exchange of services.
Because of her decision, Nicola ended up being seen as a rude and uncooperative celebrity by the press. She frequently appeared in Victoria Beckham’s outfits at events and movie premieres.
A second person responded by saying the wedding drama has been exaggerated and retold several times just to cause conflict.
The source said that “no matter how much the media attacks them, the Beckhams have remained above it all.” “It’s sad. They are very fond of their son, but all their efforts with Nicola have failed.
The Middle of Brooklyn
David and Victoria’s oldest son Brooklyn Peltz Beckham is in the middle of the arguments. According to reports, he is feeling emotionally divided between his wife and his family.
My sources say both have tried to make peace. Yet, after they finally feel happy, something happens and everything falls apart again.
The neighborhood is struggling with its identity. He comes from his family and blood, but he has always struggled with his dad. A lot of what they share has felt more like ‘business’ than anything else.”
It looks like Nicola and Brooklyn have recently pulled away from the Beckham family. The Beckhams have shared moments of happiness and milestones from their family, but the couple has mostly not been present.

Another source also pointed out that, contrary to what people assume, the relationship can still be fixed. The source reported that “They care about him deeply and are always there when he needs them.” They feel bad and upset that he is now not involved in the family at all.
Messages from the Least Developed Countries and Developed Countries
In addition, it’s not only Nicola sharing cryptic messages on social media. One day before Nicola posted, Cruz Beckham, who is Brooklyn’s younger brother, posted an Instagram Story.
His notes said:
It takes more muscles to frown (43) than to smile (17). Always try to be nice and honest.
The post, added with emojis, was understood by many as a gentle reply to the situation which might have been directed at Nicola herself.
The Family Rift Becomes Public disagreements over clothes and wedding details at the start have turned into a lasting family rift, fed by rumors on social media, headlines from tabloids and mysterious messages shared online.
It is possible to see Nicola’s recent post about her mother as only a loving tribute.
Because of when and how it was released, fans and followers think it brings a new dimension to a story that won’t end any time soon.
Recently, Brooklyn and Nicola are still together and putting their focus on their own relationship and joint activities.
As tensions in family life continue, it becomes obvious that love, loyalty and legacy don’t always go together — even for the most well-known families.
