Amid the Beckham controversy making headlines, billionaire Nelson Peltz, 83, daughter of Nicola Peltz has offered a glimpse of what her parents think about her husband Brooklyn Beckham.
The 31-year-old’s mother and model, Claudia Hefner Peltz, 71, is said to treat Brooklyn “like a second son,” according to her daughter, who recently sat down with Elle.
In her conversation with the outlet, the A-lister admitted that Brooklyn also “loves playing soccer with her siblings,” and “she gets along great with my brothers. They play soccer together a lot.”
She also didn’t shy away from criticizing her husband because in her own words, “Brooklyn supports my dreams and is the sweetest when I’m too hard on myself.” He also said at one point that “he has the biggest heart in the world.”
It is worth mentioning about this interview that it comes amidst the rising tension between her husband and the Beckham clan as recently the eldest son finally revealed how ‘controlled’ the relationship between them was.
Another thing that’s worth mentioning is that Brooklyn has also accused her parents of trying to “endlessly ruin” her marriage with Nicola in a very short period of time. Her allegations also extended to her wedding dress, which was said to have not been made available until the last minute, causing Nicola to look for an alternative.
In this Instagram Story that was posted earlier this year on January 19, 2026, Brooklyn accused his mom of ‘hijacking’ his first dance with his wife and changing her dress at the “eleventh hour.” He even tried to ‘feed lies’ to the press to create a ‘perfect family image’ which was not true.
“For the first time in my life I’m standing up for myself,” he even said at one point in that post.

Full details:
“I have remained silent for years and have made every effort to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak up for myself and tell the truth about some of the lies that have been printed.”
“I don’t want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.”
“Throughout my life, my parents have controlled the narrative in the press about our family. Performative social media posts, family events, and inauthentic relationships have been the cornerstone of the life I was born into. Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths they will go to to tell countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to save their facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.”
“My parents have been constantly trying to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped. My mother canceled on making Nicola’s dress at the last hour, despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to immediately find a new dress. In the weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which had a negative impact on me, my wife, and our They were adamant on signing the terms before my wedding. My holdout affected the payday, and they never treated me that way. During the wedding planning, Nicola and I decided to include my grandmother at our table. They had their own tables.
“The night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was ‘not blood’ and ‘not family.’ Since I started standing up for myself with my family, I have received countless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, sent to the press on their order. Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media before they suddenly blocked me last summer.
“My mother hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned several weeks earlier to a romantic love song. In front of 500 guests at our wedding, Marc Anthony called me up to the stage where my romantic dance with my wife was planned on the program, but instead my mother was waiting to dance with me. She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I have never felt so uncomfortable or disrespected in my entire life. We Wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not worry and embarrassment.
“My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we’ve tried to get together. My mother has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in a way that was clearly intended to make both of us uncomfortable.”
“Despite this, we still traveled to London for my father’s birthday and we were rejected because we had been waiting in his hotel room for a week planning to spend quality time with him. He rejected all our attempts, unless it was his big birthday party with hundreds of guests and cameras on every corner. When he finally agreed to see me, it was on the condition that Nicola was not invited. It was a slap in the face. It was a slap in the face. Later, when my family traveled to LA, they refused to see me at all.”
“My family values ​​public publicity and support above all else. Brand Beckham comes first. Family ‘love’ is measured by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to pose for a family photo, even if it is at the expense of our professional obligations. We have gone out of our way over the years to support and be at every fashion show, every party, and every press activity to show off ‘our perfect family’.”
“But once my wife asked my mother for support in rescuing displaced dogs during the L.A. fires, my mother refused.”
“The story that my wife controls me is completely upside down. I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life. I grew up with enormous anxiety. For the first time in my life, after moving away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared. I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and I have found peace and relief. My wife and I do not want a life based on image, press, or manipulation. We all want peace for ourselves and our future family, Want privacy and happiness.”
