'People are always going to talk. What matters is that we're happy together.'
Nicola added: 'It's not always easy. On TikTok there are always random stories popping up about us.
'When I see fake news, my instinct is to shut it down. But it's not worth it. I just scroll past and move on.'
Nicola, who is the daughter of American billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz and former model Claudia Heffner Peltz, married Brooklyn, who is the eldest son of Victoria and David Beckham, in 2022.
Speaking about their wedding day and the moment she said 'I do', Nicola told the magazine: 'I was so nervous.
'Saying our vows in front of that many people? Terrifying.
'Someone told me, 'Just look at Brooklyn.' And as soon as I did, the nerves faded.
'When my dad took my hand and said, 'Are you ready?' I just started crying. I couldn't even look at him. I was thinking, My make-up!
'And when I walked down the aisle, (UK artist) Sekou was singing Songbird live. I still get goosebumps just thinking about it.'
Brooklyn added: 'I'm usually chill speaking in front of people, but that day I was a wreck. Nicola kept me waiting for 10 minutes and it felt like forever. But when I saw her, everything else disappeared.'
Brooklyn is the eldest son of former football star David Beckham and his wife, fashion designer Victoria, who found fame in pop group the Spice Girls.
The couple, also known as Posh and Becks, are also parents to Cruz, Romeo and Harper.
Last month, Brooklyn and Nicola were absent from family pictures celebrating David's 50th birthday.

Billy Joel issues major health update after sparking fears he's 'dying' from brain disorder
Billy Joel provided his close friend Howard Stern with an update on his health, two weeks after the musician revealed he's been battling a brain condition. The radio show host, 71, said that the Piano Man singer, 76, is 'doing fine' after he was diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), which has impacted his 'hearing, vision, and balance.' 'He does have issues, but he said, "Yeah, you can tell people, I'm not dying,"' Stern said on his Sirius XM show The Howard Stern Show on Tuesday, adding, 'He wants people to know that.' Stern said the two of them had dinner a couple of weeks prior, sharing, 'He's got to deal with some medical stuff, but he was delightful.' Stern also told his co-host Robin Quivers that he had a 'great conversation' with Joel, and that he 'brought out a guitar' as they celebrated Joel's birthday. The singer turned 76 on May 9. Stern humorously added that he failed to impress the iconic American musician with his rendition of Happy Birthday, joking that Joel 'threw up' after hearing it. 'He didn't seem real impressed,' he joked. Last month Joel shared his battle with the brain condition and announced the cancellation of his upcoming concerts, following recent onstage struggles. 'Hydrocephalus is the buildup of fluid in the brain, enlarging the ventricles and puts pressure on brain tissue, potentially causing damage and neurological symptoms,' per Mayo Clinic. Joel's Instagram statement revealed that his recent live shows have worsened the symptoms. Joel is currently undergoing targeted physical therapy as prescribed by his doctor and has been 'advised to refrain from performing during this recovery period.' When diagnosed early, NPH can often be effectively treated with surgery that drains excess fluid from the brain, relieving pressure and symptoms. However, if left untreated, the condition may lead to permanent damage in its later stages. The legendary musician also expressed his gratitude for the care he's receiving and thanked fans for their continued support. 'I'm sincerely sorry to disappoint our audience, and thank you for understanding,' Joel's statement on Instagram read. 'Billy is thankful for the excellent care he is receiving and is fully committed to prioritizing his health,' the statement added. It continued, 'He is grateful for the support from fans during this time and looks forward to the day when he can once again take the stage.' 'He does have issues, but he said, 'Yeah, you can tell people, I'm not dying,'' Stern said on his Sirius XM show The Howard Stern Show on Tuesday; Joel pictured with wife Alexis Roderick and their two young daughters Fans won't need to take any steps to receive a refund—payments will be automatically returned to the original form of purchase. Canceled dates include his summer show in New York City, along with stops in New Orleans, Toronto, Santa Clara, Salt Lake City, Washington, D.C., and Liverpool. The new health update comes after Joel previously postponed his tour by only four months 'due to a medical condition.' A statement posted to his Instagram on March 11 revealed the tour has been halted after the Uptown Girl singer underwent a recent surgery. 'The current tour will be postponed for four months to allow him to recover from recent surgery and to undergo physical therapy under the supervision of his doctors. Joel is expected to make a full recovery. The tour will resume at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh on July 5, 2025,' the post read. 'While I regret postponing any shows, my health must come first. I look forward to getting back on stage and sharing the joy of live music with our amazing fans. Thank you for your understanding,' Joel said in the statement at the time. Shortly after, numerous fans sent their prayers and well-wishes for Joel's speedy recovery. 'Take whatever time you need for you to heal,' one wrote, adding a red heart emoji. 'stay healthy. We need you around a long time.!' 'Sending love and healing to @billyjoel !!' another wrote. 'Speedy recovery. The comeback is always greater than the setback,' one fan posted. Multiple fans also speculated if his medical issues were connected to his recent fall on stage. 'Did this have anything to do with the fall he had a couple weeks ago?? Take care Billy!!' one asked. He took to Instagram to share that he's been diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) 'Did he break something when he took a spill on stage?' another askd. On Reddit, one posted: 'I hope he's ok. I wonder what happened,' prompting one to respond suggesting that his recent fall may have factored into his current condition. 'I was afraid it was related to the fall. Even though he played it off, I thought there might be more to it,' the first poster said. 'Hope Billy is all good (especially after he fell on stage recently),' another weighed in. In late February, Joel suffered a nasty fall on stage during a gig at the Mohegan Sun resort in Monteville, Connecticut, sparking major fear amongst fans. Footage from the show captures the Grammy winner spinning a microphone stand before hurling it across the stage—only to suddenly topple over moments later. The musician was helped up by his band managed to carry on with the rest of the show and sang one more song for his fans. One attendee said: 'He looked frail hobbling across the stage. At one point, he was using the microphone stand as a cane. 'I was really very concerned about him throughout the concert.' Meanwhile, fans flooded social media with shocked reactions, with one writing, 'Oh my goodness, I hope he gets better.' Photos of the unsettling fall capture Joel—dressed in an all-black suit and dress shoes—appearing to stumble before hitting the stage hard on his side, then rolling onto his back. And the songwriter has never been one to shy away from discussing the realities of aging. In a conversation with BBC Radio 2 DJ Zoe Ball, he was asked whether he maintains a healthy lifestyle through diet and exercise. His candid response? 'None of the above. I don't think I look all that good. But I don't look in the mirror that often, which helps a lot. There's a saying, 'things don't look half bad with one eye closed.'' Over the years, Joel has been open about his struggles with alcohol and substance abuse, as well as his battles with mental health, which at one point led to a suicide attempt amid career pressures. Reflecting on what he's most proud of, the legendary musician summed it up simply: 'My ability to move on with life. I've had difficulties in my life, but it never stopped me from continuing. Troubles with business didn't stop me from doing business. I have no bitterness about anything, even people who rip me off, I let it go. I'm content with that. I'm happy. I'm having a happy ending.' Billy's illustrious career as a musician began back in the mid-1960, which led to the release of debut studio album, Cold Spring Harbor (1971). But it failed to gain any real traction until after the success of his follow-up, Piano Man (1973), that peaked at number 25 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number four on the Adult Contemporary singles chart. Now an established name on the musical landscape, Joel became a million seller with the release of Streetlife Serenade (1974), but his commercial breakout making him a bonafide star came with the release of The Stranger (1977), which featured the hit singles Movin' Out (Anthony's Song), Just The Way You Are, She's Always a Woman, The Stranger, and Only The Good Die Young. He would go on to release a 13th album - Fantasies & Delusions (2001) - that features classical compositions from Joel, a first for him during his career. With over 160 million records sold worldwide, Billy Joel is one of the world's best-selling musical artists, and the fourth-best-selling solo artist in the United States.

Carlos Alcaraz told to quit tennis after 'complicated' girlfriend confession
Carlos Alcaraz told to quit tennis after 'complicated' girlfriend confession The Spanish tennis ace has experienced 'anxiety, frustration and doubts' despite his phenomenal success on the court Alcaraz has opened up about his fears of being 'enslaved' by tennis Carlos Alcaraz is through to the semi-finals of the French Open after blowing away Tommy Paul with a s straight sets win in the last eight at Roland Garros. The 22-year-old defending champion produced his finest performance of the tournament so far as he defeated the American 12th seed 6-0, 6-1, 6-4 in a dominant showing. The win saw him set up a semi-final meeting with Lorenzo Musetti as he looks to make it through to the final for the second successive year. However, while Alcaraz is hoping to add to the four Grand Slam titles he already holds, having won Wimbledon twice and triumphed at the US Open in addition to his victory at Roland Garros, he has sensationally been told he should quit tennis after admitting the sport can be overwhelming. A Netflix documentary about the Spaniard's life away from the courts began streaming around the world earlier this year and saw the tennis star admit that he fears ending up "seeing tennis as an obligation," having sometimes felt "enslaved to the sport" and experienced "anxiety, frustration and doubts". Sharing his desire to keep a healthy work-life balance, Alcaraz also revealed that he had partied in Ibiza with a friend just weeks before defending his Wimbledon title, as he explained: "I ended up going and they know what I'm going there to do. In Ibiza, I'm not going to lie, it's pretty much all about partying and going out. "I basically went there to 'reventar' (burst), I'm not sure if that's the best way to put it, but I went there to go out." Article continues below Alcaraz's claims have led Toni Nadal - the uncle and long-time coach of Rafael Nadal - suggest that he should walk away from tennis if he cannot handle the pressures of playing at the highest level. While he admitted that he had not watched the documentary, he gave a blunt assessment of how the 22-year-old carries himself, suggesting that he was being overly dramatic. "If it is too much for him, then he should quit tennis," he told the Nude Project podcast. "I understand things differently in life. In the world of sports, everything tends to be exaggerated. "I've often heard about the sacrifice in sports, the sacrifices made by Real Madrid athletes, and I would say: 'Sacrifice?' Life is about making choices, not just doing what I want. "Sometimes it's worth it for people, and sometimes it's not. If it's not worth it for you, it's better to change jobs." However, Nadal added: "I hope Alcaraz doesn't change jobs because he's one of the best in the world, but one has to take on the challenge. One must accept that things in life will involve a series of compromises. I don't talk about sacrifices because I think that sacrifice is what you do for others. "When you do it for yourself, it's the price you have to pay. Alcaraz, being a great tennis player, indeed pays a price. But on the other hand, he earns much more money than the vast majority of young people his age, has much greater social recognition, and experiences things that few people do. But if it's not worth it for you, better make a decision." It comes after Alcaraz opened up about how his busy schedule and jet-setting lifestyle makes it "difficult" for him to find a long-term partner, having not experienced as much success in his love life than on the court. He was previously linked with sports marketing and law graduate Maria Gonzalez Gimenez, while rumours have also swirled around potential romances with Spanish singer Ana Mena and fellow tennis star Emma Raducanu. However, he confirmed his relationship status on the Molusco TV podcast, explaining: "I'm single, but I'm looking for someone. It can be difficult for a tennis player to meet the right person, because they are always on the move. Who knows what will happen this year. Article continues below Asked if he was seeing anyone, Alcaraz added: "No, no, no commitments for now, I'm single. I've laughed several times with people close to me, when I discovered that three or four players got engaged during the winter break. "I thought it would be my turn, but not yet," he added. "It's complicated to never stay in the same place, it's difficult to find the person who can share things with you if you're always in different parts of the world."
