Nicola Peltz pays sweet tribute to her dad and snubs father-in-law David Beckham
Nicola failed to mention her father-in-law in her social media post celebrating Father's Day. Nicola Peltz posted a sweet Father's Day tribute to her dad Nelson Peltz on Instagram, but failed to mention her father-in-law David Beckham. This comes as another blow to David and Victoria Beckham amid their ongoing fallout with their eldest son Brooklyn Beckham and his wife. Nicola wed David and Victoria's firstborn child back in 2022 and once appeared to be rather close with the famous family. However, after their lavish wedding things started to go downhill and things really came to a head when Nicola and Brooklyn, 26, snubbed David's 50th birthday celebrations, according to The Mirror. At the time, the couple both didn't publicly acknowledge the footballing icon's milestone birthday and they snubbed all of his celebrations despite being in London and ever since Brooklyn has continued to prove his loyalties to his wife as he failed to post anything when David was awarded a knighthood from King Charles earlier in the week. Now, as today is Father's Day, Nicola shared a gushing tribute to her own dad on Instagram but not her father-in-law. She shared a series of photos throughout the years with her dad Nelson alongside a touching caption. Nicola wrote: "Happy Father's Day to the greatest dad in the world I am so lucky to be your daughter I love you more than you will ever know. Thank you for always being my constant support I love you beyond words. Happy Father's Day dad." Brooklyn's younger brothers Romeo and Cruz shared sweet posts for David online. Cruz shared a snap of him chilling in the sun with his sports star dad and captioned the post saying: " Happy Father's Day, I love you x." Meanwhile, Romeo posted two pictures of him and his father. One was of him as a child with David and he captioned it simply saying: "love you." Wife Victoria also shared a Father's Day post to David, she penned: " Happy Father's Day Sir @DavidBeckham!!! We love you so much." In a video clip of David and their children, she penned: "Happy Father's Day to the best daddy there is! You always lead with love and our four beautiful children are a reflection of that. We all love you so much." David shared his own public message to his children as he appeared to hint at the feud. He shared: "My most important & favourite job in life is being a dad... I'm so proud of all of you and like daddy ( sorry boys ) tells you every single day I will always be here for you no matter what... "Mummy thank you for doing the most important part and making me a father there is no greater gift in life than making me a dad... Happy Father's Day... I love you kiddies more than you could imagine." Brooklyn did not share a post for David on his social media. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
