Nicola Peltz has sparked fresh rumors of a family feud after removing the "Beckham" surname from her social media profiles.
The actress, who married Brooklyn Beckham in a lavish 2022 ceremony, previously used a hyphenated version of her name.
Fans noticed the change this week, which coincides with reports that Brooklyn has blocked his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, on his own digital platforms.
This series of events has led many to speculate that tensions within the famous family have reached a breaking point.
While neither the Beckhams nor the Peltz family have released an official statement, the digital distance is a sharp contrast to their previous public displays of unity.
Observers noted that Nicola and Brooklyn did not spend the recent holidays with the Beckham family, further fueling the idea of a divide.
Nicola’s decision to return to her maiden name on Instagram and other platforms serves as a significant public signal in the modern world of celebrity branding.
Rumors of a rift between Victoria Beckham and her daughter-in-law have circulated since the couple's wedding.
Initial reports suggested disagreements over the wedding dress and family dynamics.
Despite several attempts to show a united front at fashion shows and public events over the last year, these recent actions suggest that a deeper conflict might exist.
Brooklyn has often stood firmly by Nicola’s side during these public speculations, frequently choosing her family’s company over his own during major milestones.
The couple continues to live primarily in the United States, distancing themselves geographically from the UK-based Beckham clan.
While some fans suggest the name change might simply be a professional branding choice for Nicola’s acting career, the timing alongside Brooklyn’s reported social media activity makes that explanation less likely for most followers.
As the story develops, fans are keeping a close eye on any responses from David or Victoria, who have traditionally valued family loyalty above all else.
