Nicola Peltz insists she's 'grateful to have beautiful people around her' as Brooklyn Beckham's family feud intensifies
Nicola Peltz insisted she's 'grateful to have beautiful people around her' in a gushing Instagram post on Thursday.
The actress, 30, appeared in high-spirits in the snap as she was surrounded by her 'team' amid the ongoing drama with husband Brooklyn Beckham's family.
She wrote: 'I love my team so much. I'm so grateful to have such beautiful people around me'.
David Beckham, 50, and wife Victoria, 51, have become estranged from eldest child Brooklyn, 26, whose heiress wife has been blamed for the rift in the once tight-knit family.
The Beckhams have largely remained silent in public about the rift, but they are said to fear that Brooklyn is falling increasingly under the control of Nicola.

Brooklyn recently said he is excited to build his own family with wife Nicola, as tensions continue to simmer between him and his parents.
During a PDA-packed video shared released by Glamour Magazine, the eldest son of Victoria and David gushes multiple times that he can see kids in his future, and that Nicola will be an 'amazing' mother.
Taking on the magazine's Friend Test, the pair are tasked with looking into each other's eyes for two minutes and revealing what they see.
Romantic Brooklyn immediately gushes: 'I see us when we have our kids,' as Nicola adds: 'I see the future father of my kids.'
'The most important thing someone can do in their life is find that person for life because they'll really change everything and they'll make everything better,' Brooklyn later adds.
And revealing what he has learned from his four year relationship with Nicola, Brooklyn honed in on his wife's nurturing nature.
'We have four dogs and the way she treats them, I feel like you're gonna be the most amazing mum with our kids,' he told her.
As for Nicola she was keen to highlight her husband's 'pure, good intentions.'
'I like when you say be happy and follow your heart or go with your gut because sometimes I feel like your head is overthinking and your heart is super emotional but I feel like your gut is just that intuition that you just go with,' the US actress mused.
In the magazine interview with Glamour Germany, conducted in April, the couple opened up about outside interference in their marriage and hinted at worsening relations with the Beckham clan, as they instead focused on the advice they'd received from Nicola's billionaire parents, Nelson and Claudia Peltz.
While Brooklyn appeared to be deliberately omitting mention of his family, as he shared a different meaning behind the name of his hot sauce, Cloud 23.
The aspiring chef's representative told last week how the number 23 was a 'warm nod' to David, who wore number 23 while playing for Real Madrid and LA Galaxy, inspired by NBA legend Michael Jordan, in a touching move that appeared to be an olive branch to his father.
However, in the new interview, Brooklyn failed to mention his father, simply stating: 'The 23 stands for our engagement date and my age back then.'
Elsewhere in the interview, he and Nicola also seemed to hint at interference in their relationship and the ongoing reports of the family feud.
When asked how they 'protect' their relationship in the spotlight, Brooklyn stated: 'Ignore the noise. Keep your head down, work hard, be kind. People are always going to talk. What matters is that we're happy together.'
While Brooklyn was present at the Victoria's 50th, both he and his wife failed to make an appearance at her 51st.
And while his younger brothers Romeo and Cruz took to social media to pay their birthday tributes to their parents, on both occasions Brooklyn stayed silent.
Brooklyn appeared to nail his loyalties to the mast when he posted an image on Instagram of himself and Nicola riding a motorbike, writing: 'My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you're the most amazing person I know xx me and you forever baby.'

Doctor Who's Billie Piper 'set to reunite with David Tennant' as she returns to show after Ncuti Gatwa's shock exit
Doctor Who star Billie Piper is reportedly set to reunite with her co-star David Tennant as she makes a surprise return to the show after Ncuti Gatwa 's shock exit. The 42-year-old actress will be replacing the high-profile actor after he bowed out of the BBC drama in last week's finale. The announcement put an end to speculation that he would not return as the Doctor. The BBC offered no explanation for this last minute change and merely blamed 'unforeseen circumstances'. Billie first starred as the companion to the ninth Doctor in 2005, playing Rose Tyler alongside Christopher Eccleston's Time Lord. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She will now be the second woman to take on the role as the Time Lord after Jodie Whittaker portrayed the 13th doctor. It was confirmed last Saturday when he surprisingly regenerated into at the end of the series finale. A source told The Sun: 'David and Billie were a hugely popular partnership and he brought in the golden age of Doctor Who. 'With the anniversary of the reboot this year there have been some ideas floated about with the idea of maybe bringing David and Billie back together for one last hurrah.' A statement issued by the BBC said: 'Due to unforeseen circumstances, unfortunately Ncuti Gatwa is no longer able to participate as spokesperson during the Grand Final this weekend.' The actor appeared to blame the physical and mental demands of the show for his exit in a new video following fan speculation he was axed from the show. Ncuti explained: 'It's a role that demands a lot of you physically and emotionally and mentally. The actors playing the Doctor are only actors playing the Doctor. Unfortunately, we are mere mortals. 'This journey has been one that I will never forget, and a role that will be part of me forever. There are no words to describe what it feels like to be cast as the Doctor, nor are there words to explain what it feels like to be accepted into this iconic role that has existed for over 60 years and is truly loved by so many across the globe.' The BBC previously denied claims that Ncuti had been axed from his role just days ahead of the finale. 'Whilst we never comment on the future of the Doctor, any suggestion that Ncuti Gatwa has been "axed" is pure fiction,' a spokesperson for the BBC said. The finale also saw Jodie Whittaker, the 13th doctor, make a guest appearance as Ncuti's Doctor appeared to be travelling through alternate universes. Doctor Who was watched by around 2.5milion last Saturday - around 2million fewer people than the numbers watching when Jodie Whittaker, the previous Time Lord, was on the show until 2022. But this is still a tiny fraction of the sort of interest it used to attract. At its peak it was watched by around 13million on a Saturday night in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.

EXCLUSIVE Revealed: The longtime supporters behind David Beckham's 'fairytale' knighthood nomination
For , being handed a knighthood is even more of a precious honour than most. As a young child he would travel to Horse Guards Parade to joyfully watch Trooping the Colour with his monarchist grandparents. And just weeks after turning 50, the East London-born football star is set to achieve his dream of becoming a sir. The Mail can reveal that Beckham was nominated for the award by Unicef, the charity that he has worked with for more than 20 years, and the British Fashion Council some time ago in a bid to get him the knighthood. Sources say that both organisations 'canvassed opinion' over whether they should have put Beckham forward and received very positive feedback. It is understood that some involved with the decision were very impressed with David's birthday fundraiser, where he asked that instead of presents people donate to the fund to help children – particularly girls – around the world. Friends of the former England captain say that there was an expectation that he would get the gong at the beginning of the year as part of the New Year Honours but he was pipped to it by Gareth Southgate as he had just resigned as England manager. They said: 'It was agreed it would be Gareth's turn as the committee wanted to give it to him as soon as they could after his reign as England boss. 'But this is the most perfect timing, it's literally a fairytale that David would be knighted in this milestone year as he turns 50. 'It's the perfect birthday present for him, and of course Victoria who is so proud of everything he does. 'While he won't believe anything until it is official, it will put a smile on David's face following the upset of Brooklyn and his wife Nicola snubbing his birthday celebrations last month.' The honour will have been rubber stamped by King Charles, whom David has formed a close bond with since they met at the British Fashion Council awards in May 2023. David gifted the King a pot of his homemade honey, D Bee'z Sticky Stuff, which he makes at the couple's Grade II listed barn in Great Tew, Oxfordshire and they quickly bonded over their love for bees. The King was stunned at the ex-footballer's hobby and invited him to Highgrove where he asked him to join his foundation. It is understood that some involved with the decision were very impressed with David's birthday fundraiser, where he asked that instead of presents people donate to the fund to help children – particularly girls – around the world It is likely that the King will come face-to-face with David at his investiture later this year. However, friends of the Beckham now wonder whether Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz will be present at the ceremony after t hey missed all five of David's milestone birthday celebrations. This time a decade ago, being handed a knighthood was unimaginable for David Beckham. On the cusp of being made a Sir back in 2014, concerns were raised after he was caught up in an alleged tax avoidance scheme, which was later deemed to be legitimate in 2021. And in February 2017 he took aim at the honours committee for taking him off the list for the gong, leaving his hopes of becoming a sir in tatters. Beckham, usually charming and mostly mild-mannered, called them 'unappreciative c***s' and insisted he didn't 'care about being knighted'. But ultimately, after years of waiting and hoping, Beckham has been handed the honour he's craved for so long.

Bottoms up! Dreary weather no match for Epsom's winning women on Ladies Day as racegoers celebrate their winnings in style
Glamorous racegoers descended on Surrey for Epsom Ladies' Day - and they certainly didn't disappoint. Donning an entire rainbow of bright colours, revellers braced a wet start and light rain for the opening day of two-day festival, which includes the Coronation Day and the Oaks. As the races began and the sun came out, revellers wasted no time in getting the booze out - and getting the party started by popping champagne and sipping on pints. The ensembles on display at Epsom Downs Racecourse for the Derby Festival were as daring as ever, with low-scooped corset style tops on display alongside daring thigh splits. Others dressed for the occasion with bright and vibrant fascinators, oozing glitz in a bid to be crowned best dressed. Friday's events commenced at 1.30pm, with the Betfred Oaks at 4pm. The final sprint took place just after 5pm - with Marvin Humes providing DJ entertainment for revellers for the rest of the evening. Ladies Day features the third Classic race of the season, The Betfred Oaks. This highly-anticipated race day is also a chance for racegoers to showcase their style, with colourful dresses, wide-brimmed hats and fancy fascinators. The website calls Ladies' Day 'a spectacular, gleeful celebratory day where people come together to join in racing's most spectacular carnival'. While all eyes are on the runners and riders of the day, the competition also provides the opportunity for the ladies attending to fight it out for who is best dressed on the other side of the fence. Epsom organisers describe the Derby, due to take place at 3.30pm tomorrow, as the 'world's greatest flat race'. With an incredible prize pot of £1.5million, the race lasts one-and-a-half miles. The owner normally receives about 75 per cent of a race's prize money, while the remaining 25 per cent is generally split between the trainer (10 per cent), the jockey (10 per cent) and then the final 5 per cent to stable staff and racing charities. However, the Derby has been issued with a yellow weather warning, with the Met Office predicting thunderstorms and hail could hit the track. Racegoers show the anticipation on their faces as the race gets underway For the past two years, the winning jockey was Ryan Moore for trainer Aidan O'Brien - however horses can only win it once. In the past, the event has been attended by a flurry of royals, including the likes of Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles, and Queen Camilla in attendance. Held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, the Derby was first run in 1780. It is Britain's richest flat horse race, and the most prestigious of the five Classics - the other four of which are the 2,000 Guineas Stakes, the 1,000 Guineas Stakes, the Epsom Oaks, and the St Leger Stakes. Last year, King Charles attended Ladies' Day to watch the Betfred Oaks, and his horse Treasure, bred by the late Queen, finish in 11th place. Others opted for a more traditional style, creating a bright display Donning an entire rainbow of bright colours, revellers braced a wet start and light rain for the opening day of the weekend The hats were as vibrant as ever, as one racegoer opted for bright shades of pink A pair of glamorous friends arrived in bright spirits as the day commenced No rain on my parade! One racegoer opted for a bright yellow ensemble with sparkling silver shoes Temperatures today at Epsom are set to remain around 15 degrees, but revellers should start to see some sun when the races kick off this afternoon Friday's events are set to commence at 1.30pm, with the Betfred Oaks at 4pm However, others chose to play it safe with the weather, adding a stylish blazer Newlywed Georgia Toffolo was dressed to the nines in a brown spotty blouse and elegant white skirt Among the celebrity arrivals were Gabby and Kenny Logan Revellers changed into their finery, carrying flat shoes for the partying ahead Racegoers caught the giggles as they posed for photographs Ladies Day features the third Classic race of the season, The Betfred Oaks Attendees glammed up with Gucci accessorises and gold jewellery Harry Redknapp during Ladies Day of the Betfred Derby Festival at Epsom Downs Racecourse Though the rain appeared to have eased off, racegoers still held onto their hats amid the wind By contrast, Cheltenham Racing Festival, which takes place in March, has taken the decision to rename 'Ladies' Day' as 'Style Wednesday' to encourage both men and women to take part in the fashion competition. The Jockey Club, which runs 15 courses across the UK, also ditched the Best Dressed competition. Instead, the day now includes the Slow Fashion awards, open to both men and women, which 'celebrates vintage and borrowed items, as well as investment pieces'. A spokesperson for Cheltenham Racecourse said last year: 'This year we re-launched day two of The Festival as Style Wednesday to celebrate "fast horses, slow fashion", encouraging racegoers to make more sustainable fashion choices, showcasing their unique and personal style, and to share the stories behind their amazing outfits with friends, family and on social media. 'This includes re-wearing outfits they already have in their wardrobes, purchasing timeless garments to wear again and again and also buying from retailers specialising in pre-loved clothing.'
