Nicola Peltz’s close friend Rebecca Faria has publicly criticized the Beckham family as ‘toxic’ while defending Peltz and her husband Brooklyn Beckham amid their ongoing family feud. The comments came after the couple’s recent private vow renewal ceremony, which notably excluded Brooklyn’s family members.
Faria made her remarks in response to the couple’s August 11 Instagram post showcasing their August 2 vow renewal. She accused the Beckhams of planting ‘fake press’ to damage Peltz’s reputation after losing control over the couple, stating: ‘Everyone’s been kissing the Beckhams’ ass forever, and Nicola was the first to stand up for her values since [she] couldn’t care less about their fame or money!’ Faria emphasized that both Peltz and Brooklyn consciously distanced themselves from the family due to its unhealthy dynamics.
The vow renewal occurred three years after their April 2022 wedding, which reportedly marked the beginning of tensions with Brooklyn’s parents, David and Victoria Beckham. Sources indicate the initial conflict stemmed from Victoria’s displeasure that Peltz didn’t wear a gown from her fashion label for the wedding, and later escalated when Victoria allegedly interrupted the couple’s first dance.
Recent family conflicts intensified when Brooklyn’s brother Romeo began dating Kim Turnbull, who was rumored to be Brooklyn’s former romantic interest. This development led to Brooklyn and Peltz skipping David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebration in May. The situation reportedly contributed to Romeo and Turnbull’s breakup in June, with insiders citing ‘strain’ from the family drama.
Faria passionately defended Peltz against online critics who labeled her ‘controlling,’ countering that ‘Brooklyn is a grown man who’s fully capable of making his own choices.’ She described Peltz as ‘genuine, humble, and refuses to live in a fake world,’ suggesting Brooklyn willingly chose to separate from his family environment.
The public nature of this latest exchange has intensified media scrutiny of the family rift. Representatives for both parties have remained silent on the matter, with no known reconciliation efforts currently underway. Social media analysis shows that Brooklyn and his siblings have unfollowed each other on Instagram, though sources suggest this might be due to blocking rather than intentional unfollowing.
As the situation develops, observers question whether this public airing of grievances will prompt private resolution attempts or further entrench the family divide. The absence of the Beckhams from the vow renewal ceremony—a significant family milestone—suggests the rift has reached new depths, with no clear path to resolution currently visible.
