Nicola Peltz Shares Cryptic Post After Deleting Selena Gomez Photos: 'Some Friendship Comes With Expiration Date'

Not all friendships are meant to last for a lifetime. Nicola Peltz has seemingly acknowledged that publicly after deleting all of her photographs with her former celebrity pal, Selena Gomez. Brooklyn Beckham's wife did not stop there; she also shared a cryptic post alluding to the end of their friendship.

The 'Transformers: Age of Extinction' actress has sparked intense speculation regarding the status of her inner circle after a series of digital scrubbing sessions and pointed social media updates. The move sparked speculation about what ended her friendship with Gomez.

Friendships and Expiration Dates

Nicola Peltz-Beckham recently took to her Instagram story to share a message that many industry onlookers view as a final word on her recent social media activity. The post featured a quote that read, 'Some friendships come with expiration dates', which immediately sparked theories about her current relationship with Selena Gomez.

This cryptic update followed a thorough purge of her Instagram grid, where she reportedly deleted numerous photographs featuring the Only Murders in the Building star. The removal of these memories marks a stark contrast to the frequent public displays of affection the two shared throughout 2023 and 2024.

Insiders suggest that the timing of the post is far from coincidental, appearing shortly after fans noticed the lack of interaction between the pair. Whilst Peltz has not named a specific individual, the 'expiration date' sentiment aligns with the sudden absence of Gomez from her digital life.

'We Are a Throuple'

Selena Gomez and Nicola Peltz's friendship was publicly visible in 2023. At one point, the 'Love You Like a Love Song' singer jokingly referred to themselves, alongside Peltz's husband, Brooklyn Beckham, as a 'throuple'. The trio went on holiday vacations together. Gomez and Peltz even had matching tattoos.

In an interview in 2023, Peltz recounted how she and Gomez met. She also spoke about their tight bond, even referring to the Rare Beauty founder as her 'soul sister'. 'I had met her once in passing a few years ago, and then we all went to this event in September, the Academy Gala,' she shared. 'We just clicked and had the best time. And then we became super, super close. I feel like she's my soul sister. I love her so much.'

Peltz also confirmed that Gomez was very close to her husband. 'Yeah, we are a throuple. We are all three best friends.' The 'Lola' star was thrilled to have found a girlfriend in Gomez. However, their appearances slowed, and they eventually seemed to drift apart. Peltz and Beckham were noticeably absent when Gomez tied the knot with Benny Blanco in September 2025.

Investigating the Potential Breakdown

Speculation regarding the cause of the rift has centred on various professional and personal pressures. Some reports suggest that the dynamic shifted as Peltz became more focused on her husband's career and her own directorial debuts.

'Months before their friendship ended, reliable sources claimed Nicola Peltz didn't like that Selena Gomez was getting closer to Brooklyn Beckham than usual, as she started calling him also her husband,' one post on X (formerly Twitter) read, along with photos of Gomez and Beckham.

Peltz is overprotective of her relationship with Beckham. Whilst some support her, others feel she's going overboard because she allegedly doesn't want to share the younger Beckham with his own family. Beckham had recently shared a six-page tirade against his family, calling his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, controlling. He claimed their priority was their brand and that they constantly disrespected his wife. Meanwhile, some fans blamed Peltz for the conflict, noting that Brooklyn's fractured relationship with his parents only happened after he married her.
