David and Victoria Beckham are reportedly 'done' with billionaire heiress, Nicola Peltz, who married their oldest child, Brooklyn, three years ago at a £3m wedding in Florida
Billionaire heiress, Nicola Peltz, has big plans for her husband, Brooklyn Beckham, according to reports. The couple, who married three years ago in a lavish £3 million bash in Florida, are no strangers to courting publicity, sharing loved-up snaps of themselves on social media, making the most of their famous families' influence.
They are now hitting the headlines for all the wrong reasons after swerving David Beckham's star-studded 50th birthday celebrations last weekend - despite being in the UK - with a insider suggesting Nicola was 'controlling' her husband, leaving his dad, David, "really hurt". Indeed, things have got so bad, that the former footballer and his wife, Victoria, are reportedly "done" with their daughter-in-law.
‌
‌
Just a few months after they tied the knot, Nicola and Brooklyn posed up a storm in an ice cream van emblazoned with a logo from fast food chain, Wendy's, which is owned by Nicola's businessman father, Nelson Peltz. It was one of the very first Beckham-Peltz joint endorsements – and it's likely there will be many more to come.
A source close to the family told the Mail that actress, Nicola, is "very much making the most" of her husband's name, saying: "Nicola is very much making the most of the Beckham name. She might hate David and Victoria, but she doesn't half like their surname."
Since getting hitched, Nicola's stock has soared, bagging a lucrative deal with Pepe Jeans, appearances in Vogue magazine as well as directing her first film, Lola.
Claiming she wouldn't be getting the attention if Brooklyn wasn't always by her side, the source said: "They are always together – you can't help but think it's Nicola who is making sure this happens. She might be very rich, but she wouldn't be getting any of the attention if it wasn't for her husband and his family."
The Beckhams, who are yet to speak out on their firstborn's no-show at David's birthday, allegedly think "Nicola is a bit of a horror" but concede "she isn't going anywhere soon".
They are also reportedly 'embarrassed' by the direction she is said to be steering their son career-wise. The self-confessed "nutter in the kitchen" has tried his hand at multiple ventures since working in a French cafe in Kensington as a teenager.
‌
After joining - then leaving - photography school, he then decided to pursue a career in cooking, posting a number of cringeworthy videos, proudly telling his followers how to make a jacket potato and beans.
Claiming Nicola - who has been defended by pals, saying she's just 'protecting' Brooklyn from his parents - was the 'brains' behind the operation, the insider said: "It made money and Nicola would have been encouraging him."
Indeed, Brooklyn praised his wife for helping him come up with his latest plan to launch his Cloud hot sauce. Taking to Instagram, gushing about his bride, he said Nicola mused one evening 'while they were sharing a bottle of wine in the kitchen': "You like hot sauce and you like design - why don't you make a hot sauce?"
‌
Claiming David and Victoria are "embarrassed" by the whole 'nepo baby' tag, the source said: "There doesn't seem much of a desire to get a proper career. The Beckhams hate the whole 'nepo' label... this recent stuff is a bit embarrassing."
Brooklyn is yet to comment on the fierce feud within the family that shows no signs of abating. He didn't comment on David's fishing trip post in which the England star, joined by other sons Romeo and Cruz, told 'Buster' how much he missed him.
There are reports that Brooklyn and Romeo are at loggerheads over Romeo's girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, who was romantically linked to Brooklyn back in 2016.
‌
And regarding Nicola, it seems her plans for her husband are just getting started, with the insider concluding: "Nicola loves having Brooklyn at her side and she loves him very much. But he is also very useful."
