Who is Nicola Peltz and why is she famous as Beckham feud continues
Nicola Peltz's name has been making headlines lately as her feud with the Beckhams continues to escalate. She and her husband, Brooklyn Beckham, failed to attend David Beckham's 47th birthday celebrations recently despite travelling to London from their LA home.
The 30-year-old actress has been accused of 'controlling' her husband in what many are describing as a toxic relationship. Brooklyn, David Beckham's oldest son, also failed to publicly wish his dad a happy birthday, which is causing wider speculation on the rift in the family.
At the heart of this family feud appears to be Nicola's relationship with the Beckhams which has reportedly caused Brooklyn to cut off contact with his relatives. And tensions have continued to rise.
It is also believed that Brooklyn stopped speaking to his younger brother Romeo after he started dating his ex-girlfriend Kim Turnbull. Nicola and Brooklyn also recently failed to attend a family trip to France, which reportedly widened the cracks in the family.
Victoria Beckham and Nicola Peltz have reportedly been feuding since the couple began dating in 2019, and tensions previously came to a head over disagreements with the couple's wedding plans in 2022.
But as Nicola Peltz makes worldwide headlines for allegedly being the cause of the Beckham's falling out, questions are being raised on who she is and why she is famous.
Here's everything you need to know about Nicola Peltz.
Who is Nicola Peltz?
Nicola Anne Peltz Beckham is an American actor and filmmaker.
The actor is best known for her roles as Katara in the film The Last Airbender, Bradley Martin in the A&E drama series Bates Motel and Tessa Yeager in Transformers: Age of Extinction.
Nicola has been acting since she was a young child, first appearing in Deck the Halls in 2006.
She was born in New York state on January 9 1995, and is four years older than her husband Brooklyn, who was born in 1999.
Last year, Peltz made her filmmaking debut, writing and directing her drama film, Lola.
Her father is Jewish-American billionaire Nelson Peltz and her mother is model Claudia Heffner.
Some of the tensions between Nicola and the Beckhams arose when the mega-rich Peltz family took control of the organising of Brooklyn and Nicola's wedding in 2022.
As a result, a lavish £3 million ceremony was held at one of the Peltz's family homes – a stunning £76million oceanfront mansion in Miami, with three massive marquees providing shelter for the A-List guests and housing a dance floor, catering area and more.
But Victoria had reportedly wanted the wedding to be held closer to home, igniting yet more tension between her and her daughter-in-law.
Nicola has also dabbled in modelling, and walked the runway for Alexander Wang's last fashion show for Balenciaga at Paris Fashion Week in 2015.
The actor is also reported to have a close friendship with singer and Disney child star Selena Gomez.

Justin Timberlake slammed for doing 'bare minimum' at his concerts
Justin Timberlake has left some fans demanding a 'refund' after he appeared to have stopped signing at his live shows. The American singer rose to fame as part of The All New Mickey Mouse Club in the 1990s, going on to join the hugely successful boyband NSYNC, who sold over 70 million units worldwide. After the band went on an indefinite hiatus in 2002, Justin pursued a solo career, releasing the chart-topping albums Justified and FutureSex/LoveSounds, which included hits like Cry Me a River, Rock Your Body and SexyBack.

Although it officially ended in February this year, it was quickly followed by an extension that has included festivals and one-off concerts titled 'JT Live 2025'. But just a few days before his last scheduled show in Istanbul, Turkey, on July 30, Justin has drawn the ire of some concertgoers. Last week Justin played at the Electric Castle festival in Romania, but soon after he was called out for signing very little of his track Can't Stop the Feeling live. In the clip, posted on TikTok, he was seen putting the hood of his jacket on as rain started pouring down as he sung the first few lines of the song.

He then made hand gestures and walked across the stage to amp them up but only went on to sing a few parts of the song and heavily relied on the crowd to pick up the slack. Just before the clip ended, he was then seen walking towards his band and telling the audience to 'sing, c',mon'. 'When you pay for a concert but get a mute singer. Due took a day off on stage…,' the fan captioned their post. Many people weighed in, including others who were there and joked about the singer 'making them do all the work'. 'When you pay for a concert but get a mute singer,' one quipped. 'This is not even bare minimum,' someone else commented. 'I want a refund, and I didn't even go,' another added. 'That ticket would be a credit card dispute SO FAST,' one person also wrote. Soon after many other people started sharing videos taken at other concerts in which Justin barely sang the song too. More Trending Addressing the singer, one frustrated fan wrote on TikTok: 'Dude they're not paying to have a karaoke session with you.' Justin is next scheduled to perform in Georgia tonight, followed by shows in Azerbaijan and Turkey later this week. Away from the studio and stage, Justin has also appeared in a string of movies too, including Love Guru, The Social Network, Bad Teacher, Friends with Benefits and Palmer.

'Buckingham Nicks', pre-Fleetwood Mac album, to be reissued
Well, now we know. Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham's 1973 album 'Buckingham Nicks' will have its first ever re-issue. The storied album will be reissued for the first time on Sept. 19 by Rhino High Fidelity five decades after its original release, Rhino, the reissue arm of Warner Music, announced Wednesday. It was the only album the music icons had released as an American folk rock duo before they joined Fleetwood Mac, and went on to leave an indelible mark in music history. It comes after Nicks and Buckingham shared cryptic posts on social media last week: matching excerpts from their 1973 hit 'Frozen Love.' Sourced from the original analog master tapes, the album will be released on vinyl, CD and digital formats. There will be 5,000 individually numbered copies of the album cut by Kevin Gray from the original masters and pressed on 180-gram vinyl. A special version, limited to 2,000 copies, includes two replica 7-inch singles. A testament to the pair's prowess and chemistry pre-Fleetwood, the album features 10 tracks including hits 'Crystal' and 'Don't Let Me Down Again,' that put on full display the artists' brain-scratching, cascading harmonies and immersive songwriting. Their song "Crying in the Night" off the re-issue is already available for streaming. The album had been recorded at Sound City Studios in Los Angeles, according to a press release for the announcement. In late 1974 Mick Fleetwood visited Sound City while scouting studios to record Fleetwood Mac's next album, and 'Frozen Love' off 'Buckingham Nicks' was played for him, and caught the drummer's attention. Soon after the duo joined the band on New Year's Eve 1974, the press release said. The Rhino High Fidelity edition of the album will include liner notes and quotes from the stars, written by longtime music journalist David Fricke. '[We] knew what we had as a duo, two songwriters that sang really well together. And it was a very natural thing, from the beginning,' Nicks was quoted as saying. Meanwhile, Buckingham noted they were inexperienced when they made the album, "but it stands up in a way you hope it would, by these two kids who were pretty young to be doing that work."
