Nicola Peltz appeared to trigger the final public fracture of the Beckham dynasty in one of her recent social media posts. The Lola star shared something that could have set the stage for her husband's explosive revelations against David and Victoria Beckham.

A day before Brooklyn's public statement against his parents, Peltz shared a selfie that highlighted a tattoo on her torso. The image may have included a subtle hint about the family conflict to come, with the body art featuring a pointed message interpreted by observers as directed at her in-laws.

Actress Displays 'Family First' Tattoo in Yiddish

Before Brooklyn's lengthy post against his parents, Nicola Peltz utilised her body art to signal her position within the ongoing family feud. The actress shared a selfie that highlighted a tattoo on her torso, written in Yiddish.

The statement reportedly read 'family first,' per the Daily Mail. The move has been interpreted by many as a pointed message aimed directly at David and Victoria Beckham, whom Brooklyn later accused of prioritising their brand over their family. Peltz and her brother, Will Peltz, reportedly received the same phrase inked on their bodies.

Industry sources claimed the actress was 'stoking the flames' between her husband and in-laws. Insiders suggested that Brooklyn was following his wife's lead despite his parents' efforts to extend an olive branch.

Brooklyn Accuses Parents of Prioritising 'Brand Beckham'

Brooklyn later shared a lengthy post on his Instagram Stories detailing his falling out with his family. The 26-year-old suggested that, unlike the unified Peltz family, David and Victoria were more focused on their brand than their children.

'My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else,' Brooklyn wrote. 'Brand Beckham comes first.'

He added that his family measured 'love' by frequent social media posts and by how quickly they appear for family photo opportunities despite individual obligations. According to Brooklyn, his parents went out of their way to support the family business and present a united front to project their 'perfect family' image.

He also defended Peltz from allegations that she was controlling him, noting that it was his parents who allegedly controlled him most of his life, stating he 'grew up with overwhelming anxiety'. Brooklyn clarified that he was cutting ties with his parents and had no plans to reconcile with them.

'My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want peace, privacy, and happiness for us and our future family,' he concluded.

Christmas Conflict Escalates Family Tensions

Since Brooklyn married Peltz, it was clear where his loyalty lies. He has always chosen his wife over the family he had grown up with.

On Christmas Eve, he paid tribute to Peltz by calling him 'My Everything.' Days before the holiday, they made headlines after Brooklyn allegedly blocked his family on social media, according to his younger brother, Cruz.

Insiders claimed that David and Victoria had been trying to get Brooklyn home for Christmas. Their son, however, wanted them to apologise to his wife first. Since they allegedly declined, Brooklyn decided to stay in the United States and spend the holidays with his wife and in-laws.

David and Victoria seemingly fired back at their son and daughter-in-law by sharing a video of them on Christmas Day, slow dancing with Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibb's classic 'Guilty' playing in the background. 'We got nothing to be guilty of,' the song plays whilst the Beckhams enjoy the moment.

The public nature of this family conflict suggests the rift between Brooklyn and his parents may deepen further as both sides continue to communicate through social media rather than private channels. Industry observers are watching whether the Beckham family's public image can withstand the sustained criticism from their eldest son.
