Nicola and Brooklyn Peltz have opened up about their life at home in Los Angeles as husband and wife—insisting that they are at their happiest when they are cuddled up on the couch 'in sweats,' despite what their glamorous social media posts might lead their fans to believe.
Nicola, 30, and Brooklyn, 26, who tied the knot in 2022 after three years of dating, laid bare what their lives are really like when they're not attending all manner of star-studded events, while speaking out about their marriage in a candid interview with Glamour.
Nicola—who is the daughter of hedge fund billionaire Nelson Peltz—told the publication that, while their Instagram accounts might depict a lavish life filled with parties and trips to Coachella, behind the scenes, the couple prefer nothing more than a quiet night in.
'The simple stuff makes us the happiest,' she shared. 'Instagram sees the parties and events, the Coachella moments. But the truth is, we're at our best when we're curled up on the couch with our dogs, watching a movie or eating dinner in sweats.'
They are 'happiest just hanging out with our dogs at home,' added Brooklyn. Their perfect night involves 'no cameras' and their watching the hit reality series 'Love Island.'
However, things at home aren't all hunky dory, with the duo confessing that they do get into some arguments about each other's quirks.
How about the 'low-stakes things' that they 'disagree' on?
'The temperature in our bedroom,' Brooklyn offered. 'I like it freezing; Nicola likes it warm.'
'Same with lighting! I love it soft and cozy,' Nicola added. 'Brooklyn turns on every light. But marriage is about compromise. He cranks the AC, I layer up under blankets.'
Although the couple shared limited details about their dwelling, they are understood to be residing in a luxury condo unit just a short distance from Beverly Hills, which Nicola's mother, Claudia Heffner Peltz, purchased for $3.8 million in 2012.
The 11th-floor unit in a high-rise building boasts three bedrooms, five bathrooms, and 3,520 square feet of living space—a far cry from the megamansion the couple purchased together as their first marital home.
Nicola and Brooklyn snapped up that Beverly Hills property in 2021 for a hefty $10.5 million—but put it back on the market just eight months later, for an asking price of $12 million.
They eventually sold it in August 2022 for just $9.25 million, taking a $1.25 million loss on the sale.
Nicola later admitted to Cosmopolitan that the investment had been a 'silly' mistake.
She explained that the couple had initially decided to sell the home because they would likely be spending more time in Florida—where her father is based and where Brooklyn's dad, soccer legend David Beckham, is co-owner of the local team, Inter Miami CF.
'We sold it because we were like, 'Oh, we're going to go to Florida for a while.' And then we're like, 'No, just kidding, we have to be in L.A. for work,'' she explained.
'It was so silly of us. And now we're saving up money to get our dream house.'
David and his wife, Victoria Beckham, reportedly put down some pricey roots in Miami Beach. The Real Deal reported in October 2024 that the couple were in the process of buying a nine-bedroom, 9.5-bathroom mansion in the city.
The property, which was listed for $80 million, was sold that same month for $72.25 million, suggesting that the Beckhams scored quite a deal.
Meanwhile, Nicola's family is based just a short distance from that dwelling—in a Palm Beach estate that measures 26,861 square feet. It comes with six bedrooms and 19 bathrooms.
The property is located directly on the beach and offers beautiful views of the water.
However, if Brooklyn and Nicola ever fancy a change of scenery, they need only hop across the pond to the Beckhams' primary residence in London's Holland Park, which they purchased for a staggering $37.9 million in 2013—before pouring a reported $10 million into renovations.
Interestingly, Brooklyn and Nicola made no mention in their Glamour interview about ongoing rumors that they are embroiled in a 'feud' with the Beckham family. Multiple reports suggested that a rift began when the happy couple tied the knot and has raged on ever since.
The couple did, however, open up about the origins of their relationship, revealing that their first proper meeting took place at a 2019 Halloween party thrown by none other than Leonardo DiCaprio.
Following their passionate embrace, they were inseparable, and Brooklyn proposed just six months after dating. However, their wedding was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
'We were engaged for a long time because of COVID. We wanted a big wedding, but we also wanted to protect our grandparents.
'There were moments when we thought, 'Should we just elope in Vegas?' But people talked us out of it. When you've lived together for a while, marriage doesn't change everything except that it feels really special to say 'my husband' or 'my wife,'' Nicola explained.
