Nicola Peltz Beckham has spoken out as the Beckham family feud explodes back into the spotlight.
The actor and filmmaker addressed the controversy surrounding husband Brooklyn Beckham’s strained relationship with his parents after David and Victoria publicly wished their eldest son a happy birthday on Instagram this week.
The posts, shared with throwback photos and tributes, quickly reignited speculation about the long-running family tensions.

Earlier this year, reports surfaced that Brooklyn had sent his parents a cease and desist notice asking them not to post about him or tag him on social media.
Now, Nicola has responded to a question about the ongoing headlines about the Beckham family feud in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
Nicola said she has largely tuned out the noise and focused on work, which was the main focus of the interview after her appearance in TV series The Beauty this week.
“I’ve been editing my next film for the past two and a half weeks,” she said.
“Honestly, I’ve just been in the editing room. We haven’t had weekends – we’ve just been trying to make a deadline for Cannes.”
The project, titled Prima, has kept her busy in recent weeks.
“It’s been so amazing to just put my focus on that and be creative. It’s been really fun doing that and I’m really excited for it to come out.”

Brooklyn, the self-proclaimed chef, recently addressed the family tensions in a lengthy online statement.
“I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private,” he wrote.
“Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.
“I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.
“For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.
“Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own façade. But I believe the truth always comes out.”
Despite the escalating public fallout, there have been small signs of hope within the family.
Brooklyn’s younger brother Cruz Beckham was approached by paparazzi while walking through London with girlfriend Jackie Apostel and asked whether he had a birthday message for his older brother.
“Happy Birthday,” he replied with a smile.
When asked whether he hoped their relationship could eventually be repaired, Cruz responded simply: “I’d hope to.”
Neither Brooklyn nor Nicola have directly responded to David and Victoria’s birthday posts.
