Victoria Beckham seemingly snubs Brooklyn's wife Nicola again amid family feud
VICTORIA Beckham has seemingly snubbed eldest son Brooklyn's wife Nicola Peltz as the famous family's feud rumbles on. The fashion designer's Instagram behaviour has been put under the spotlight shortly after she appeared to intervene in the high-profile clash to offer an olive branch. 7 7 Nicola, 30, and Brooklyn, 26, have reportedly been keeping their distance from his family, after they failed to attend dad David's 50th birthday party. Chef and photographer Brooklyn has continued to gush over his actress spouse throughout - despite "cutting off brothers Cruz and Romeo" in the drama - amid fears he's "obsessed" with his marriage. Victoria then confirmed neither Nicola or Brooklyn would feature in her upcoming documentary - in suggestions of another snub. Yet after 'liking' budding photographer and chef's recent Instagram reel, the mum of four, 51, has followed up with approval for more of his snaps. Yet in a cryptic move, while she has hit the heart button on images featuring him, those that also included Lola star Nicola have been left un-liked. Through July, she has liked every one of Brooklyn's posts - but only if they do not feature his actress spouse. Yet this may be because the busy fashion designer had missed a handful of his uploads. Neither Nicola or Brooklyn have returned the favour and approved her uploads. Nicola was previously accused of "controlling" husband Brooklyn - who frequently gushes over his spouse on social media. Meanwhile, Victoria and Nicola reportedly fell out in the run-up to Nicola's marriage to Brooklyn in 2022 in a row over Posh not designing the wedding dress. Brooklyn Beckham unfollows his brothers just hours after reaching out to sister Harper on her birthday The daughter of US billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz ended up walking down the aisle at her family's mansion in Miami in a gown by Italian fashion legend Valentino. SHOW SNUB? Fans recently suspected A Mind Of It's Own singer had dealt another snub to the pair after it was confirmed they would be a no show for her new series. Spice Girl singer Victoria's long-awaited Netflix programme is due for release in October. The Beckham Family Feud April 2022: Brooklyn marries Nicola Peltz. Wedding Dress Controversy: Rumours begin circulating that there's tension between Nicola and Victoria Beckham after Nicola chooses not to wear a Victoria Beckham -designed wedding gown. Nicola later clarifies in August 2022 (and again in March 2023) that Victoria's atelier couldn't make the dress in time, but reports in May 2025 suggest Victoria actually changed her mind about making the dress. Post-Wedding (2022 onwards): Minimal interaction between Nicola and Victoria on social media, and noticeable absence of Nicola at key Beckham family events. Alleged Wedding "Hijack": In May 2025, a source claimed Victoria "ruined" part of the wedding by allegedly hijacking a dance with Marc Anthony, which was meant for Brooklyn and Nicola. Nicola reportedly ran from the room crying. March 2025: A resurfaced TikTok of Romeo and Cruz mimicking a "baby voice" (which fans associate with Nicola) sparks speculation of sibling shade. April 2025: Brooklyn and Nicola are reportedly absent from Victoria Beckham's 51st birthday celebrations in Miami and her Paris Fashion Week show. May 2025: David Beckham's 50th Birthday Snub: Brooklyn and Nicola are notably absent from David Beckham's 50th birthday celebrations in London, despite being invited. Reports suggest their absence was due to Brooklyn not wanting to be in the same room as Kim Turnbull, the girlfriend of Romeo who had previously been reported to have been dating Brooklyn, who David allegedly opted to have at the party over Nicola. Rumours emerge of a falling out between Brooklyn and his younger brother Romeo, reportedly due to Romeo's new girlfriend, DJ Kim Turnbull, who allegedly had a past connection with Brooklyn. Reports surface that the Beckham parents are "hurt and disappointed" that Brooklyn is "playing no part in family life." Sources claim that tensions between Brooklyn and Nicola and his parents are "definitely not beyond repair." June 2025: Brooklyn and Nicola reportedly enlist a "crisis team" similar to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for "reputation management" due to the growing media scrutiny. Cruz Beckham posts cryptic lyrics on Instagram that some interpret as a swipe at Brooklyn. July 2025: Reports indicate David and Victoria are "desperate" to reconcile with Brooklyn. Brooklyn publicly wishes his sister Harper a happy 14th birthday on Instagram, tagging Nicola, which is seen as a potential "olive branch" and a rare public message to his family amid the rumored rift. Brooklyn UNFOLLOWS his brothers Romeo and Cruz just 24 hours after his birthday message to Harper. Nicola quickly follows suit and also ditches the Beckham bros from her Instagram following. Romeo and Cruz are now also no longer following Brooklyn. It is understood she will not touch on the simmering feud with her eldest and his spouse - although she has promised there will be 'tears' in the four-parter. The Sun can also confirm how Nicola and Brooklyn will not be in Victoria's upcoming show - but that is because no scenes were filmed with them. A source added to us: 'The children hardly feature — it's simply not a case of Brooklyn and Nicola being cut, as they weren't in it to start with. "This is very much a project focussing on Victoria's transaction from pop star to businesswoman and designer." The Sun has learned that Victoria comes across 'brilliantly' - continuing from her scene-stealing one-liners in David's own four-parter. OLIVE BRANCH The Sun was first to report how pop legend Elton John said his piece to his godson Brooklyn on the family difficulties during a swanky lunch. The legendary singer, 78, has publicly praised Brooklyn and Nicola on social media while the feud has been making headlines, and he has even hung out with them in Cannes. We revealed Elton 'briefly' touched on the family feud before sticking to more neutral territory. 'Elton is the showbiz equivalent of Switzerland,' said a source. 'He's utterly neutral in this row. 'Elton of old may have relished in taking sides - in this case his young godson, Brooklyn - but two years off his 80th birthday, he's a man who has seen and done it all. 'He just wants everyone to be happy. There is no side-taking as such; he simply adores his godson, and really has a laugh with Nicola who he thinks has a great sense of humour. "He wants to look after them in his role as 'spiritual adviser' as a godfather, it's a role he takes seriously. 'Elton and David think the situation is terribly sad, and has gently suggested to all involved that life is short — and to patch things up." Victoria then appeared to intervene after the Rocket Man vocalist's involvement. She liked Brooklyn's latest Instagram reel showing him rustling up pasta in the kitchen, suggesting tensions could be thawing. 7 7

Jeff Brazier patches up feud with his sons Bobby and Freddy as he gushes over their 'special' evening after family reunited at 101 Dalmatians: The Musical to watch TV presenter's debut
Jeff Brazier has seemingly patched up the family feud with his sons Bobby and Freddy as he gushed over their 'special' evening together in an Instagram post last week. The TV presenter, 46, reunited with his sons Bobby, 22, and Freddy, 20, at 101 Dalmatians: The Musical at the Eventim Apollo in London, where Jeff made his West End debut. Jeff shared a photo with his beloved sons on Instagram as he reflected on their 'special' evening together. Freddy, who is currently in the midst of a legal battle with Jeff over his welfare, proved all is well with his father as sweetly responded 'I love you dad' in his comments. Jeff captioned his post: 'So lovely to have both the lads come along to watch me in @101dalmatiansuk I love how much it made them laugh and it was really special that they were both there to support me. Thanks for coming @freddybrazier_ @bobbybrazier ❤️' Freddy replied: 'What a show, loved every minute of it! Most of all I loved watching you just play and have fun. I love you Dad❤️' '@freddybrazier_ Love you too Fred! Thanks for coming, meant a lot ❤', Jeff replied. Meanwhile, Bobby penned 'Dadda' in the comments as Jeff replied '@bobbybrazier Lovely to see you B. ❤️' Jeff, who plays Casper, stars alongside JLS heartthrob Aston Merrygold, who stars as his onscreen brother Jasper. Britain's Got Talent winner Sydnie Christmas stars as Cruella De Vil at London's Eventim Apollo Theatre for six-weeks only this summer. 101 Dalmatians: The Musical is now playing at the Eventim Apollo in London until August 30. It is reported Jeff, has set up a court date to stop Freddy seeing his maternal grandmother Jackiey Budden, 68, amid rising concerns over his well being. Jeff has long insisted she is a bad influence on the troubled youngster - with the pair enduring a series of very public disputes over the years. But last month The Mail On Sunday revealed that Freddie was again spending time at Jackiey's Bermondsey flat despite his father filing court paperwork in an effort to keep his son away. Meanwhile, Bobby penned 'Dadda' in the comments as Jeff replied '@bobbybrazier Lovely to see you B. ❤️' Family friends say the duo remain 'extremely close,' explaining: 'Jeff was never going to keep Freddy away from his Nanny for very long - they've always had a strong bond, Jeff may hate her for all sorts of reasons going back many years, but Freddy loves her very much. 'They had a great time together, playing with her dog and catching up at her flat - where he has often stayed over the years. Whatever Jeff hoped to achieve with his legal efforts, it hasn't worked.' In June, Freddy announced on Instagram that he was going to a rehabilitation centre in Spain, admitting he had been addicted to smoking since he was 12 and was keen to seek treatment. He said: 'I've been smoking from the age of 12 and it's time to stop it was a bad coping mechanism that turned into an addiction something I relied on and something that made me feel sane and somewhat okay.' But days after the admission, Freddy posted again online saying he had changed his mind, writing: 'You know what I don't need rehab. I just need a holiday with a good group of boys or a retreat.' Freddy lost his mother, former Big Brother star Jade, to cervical cancer in 2009 when he was just four years old. During his appearance on BBC's Celebrity Race Across the World, Bobby spoke on the grief he has suffered following his mother's tragic passing. He said: 'I don't really remember being held by my mum… if I had more memories with her, it would have made it a whole lot harder for me, but I think I would rather that than not remembering the things I had done with my mum.' Freddy admitted he 'misses the bond' he shared with older brother Bobby in a heartbreaking Instagram last month. The Race Across The World star posted throwback videos as he reminisced about the good times he and Bobby shared during the coronavirus. One video Freddy posted saw the Brazier brothers bashing their heads against a pumpkin on a farm. He wrote: 'Only thing I miss about Covid is the amount of time I had with my brother to bond and make memories and have a laugh.' In another post, Freddy and Bobby larked around in the kitchen in a video while dad Jeff cooked dinner.
