Nicola Peltz takes a swipe at Harper Beckham, 14, as she calls her brother's wife her 'dream sister' after previously branding Brooklyn's sibling her 'dream little sister' before family feud

Nicola Peltz has thanked her brother Will for ‘officially giving me my dream sister’, after using the same term of endearment for Harper Beckham.

Nicola, 31, shared a gushing Instagram post on Monday dedicated to her older brother and his new wife Kenya Kinski-Jones following their recent wedding.

Four years on from Nicola’s marriage to David and Victoria Beckham‘s son Brooklyn, her brother Will Peltz, 40, married into the family of legendary record producer Quincy Jones when he tied the knot with model Kenya, 33.

Nicola told fans that ‘this wedding was truly one of the most beautiful things i’ve ever had the privilege of witnessing’ in her lengthy Instagram post, before thanking ‘willy’ for finally and officially giving me my dream sister, ken.’

Just two years ago Nicola, who also has her own sister Brittany, called Harper, the 14-year-old sibling of Brooklyn, ‘my dream little sister.’

At the premiere of Nicola’s directorial debut Lola in 2024, she reflected on their close bond, saying: ‘If I could create the perfect dream little sister, it’s her. I’m so blessed I get to have her as my little sister in my life.’

Nicola, who Harper used to idolise, and Brooklyn are no longer on speaking terms with his family, and earlier this month the teenager was dragged into the family row.

After her dad David’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in LA, Harper went to her brother’s Beverly Hills home to deliver a handwritten note but was crestfallen when she discovered he wasn’t home.

Shortly after his sister’s appearance at the home Brooklyn shares with Nicola, their camp accused the Beckhams of ‘using Harper as a pawn’.

They told the Daily Mail: ‘[The fact] that photographers were in place as the letter was hand delivered says it all – this was choreographed for the cameras.’

Friends of David and Victoria have hit back at the ‘nasty accusation levelled at an innocent young girl’ from their estranged son, 27.

They have also claimed that Brooklyn hasn’t accepted any contact from Harper or his grandparents since the falling out.

However, representatives for Brooklyn and Nicola insisted the circumstances surrounding the visit raised serious questions.

Following Harper’s visit, it later emerged that Brooklyn was not even in California at the time.

Instead, the aspiring chef and media personality shared an Instagram story showing himself out for a run in New York City, making it clear that he was on the opposite side of the country when his younger sister arrived at his front door.

Friends of the Beckhams have told the Daily Mail’s Katie Hind that the ongoing devastation of the teenager at the family’s estrangement cannot be underestimated.

‘For the first 12 years of Harper’s life, she was so very close to Brooklyn,’ says a friend. ‘He was 12 himself when she was born and was a very influential person in her life.

‘It doesn’t take much to understand just how devastated Harper is that her big brother is no longer around.’

Brooklyn’s younger brother Cruz shared a post with Harper on Monday, demonstrating their close bond as he posed with his sister and brother Romeo.

Meanwhile, the Peltz family have officially welcomed Kenya into their family.

Sharing the details of their wedding with Vogue, Nicola’s actor brother Will and Kenya, who have been together for 16 years, gushed about the importance of having family involved in every detail of their big day.

After proposing in the garden of the Peltz family home in Mount Kisco, New York, the couple decided to marry in the exact same spot a year later.

On the morning of the welcome party, Kenya, whose mother is the actress Nastassja Kinski, and Will privately exchanged their vows outside.

Will’s billionaire father Nelson walked the bride down the aisle before taking on the duties of Will’s best man.

Will’s mother Claudia meanwhile acted as Kenya’s matron of honor for the intimate vow exchange, which was followed by a larger ceremony the following day.

‘Beginning the wedding weekend with the most meaningful part filled all of the unspoken moments between us throughout,’ Kenya told Vogue. ‘My father-in-law Nelson and my uncle Richard walked me down the aisle, and my mother-in-law Claudia sweetly walked with Will down the aisle.’

Will added: ‘It really was the perfect moment. Not only was I at the home where I grew up and that I’d made so many memories in, but I was with my people, my everything. My father was my best man, and my mother was Kenya’s matron of honour.’

Kenya’s half sister, the actress and film-maker Rashida Jones was also part of the bridal party, alongside Nicola and Brooklyn, and the couple’s other siblings and their spouses.

Brooklyn Beckham’s statement in full

I have been silent for years and 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 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 facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.

My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped. My mum cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress.

Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children.

They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated. My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since.

During the wedding planning, my mum went so far as to call me “evil” because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra, and Nicola’s Naunni at our table, because they both didn’t have their husbands. Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours.

The night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was “not blood” and “not family.” Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I’ve received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders.

Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last Summer.

My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song. In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead.

She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated 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 anxiety and embarrassment.

My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we’ve tried to come together as one. My mum has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable.

Despite this, we still travelled to London for my dad’s birthday and were rejected for a week as we waited in our hotel room trying to plan quality time with him. He refused all of our attempts, unless it was at his big birthday party with a hundred guests and cameras at every corner.

When he finally agreed to see me, it was under the condition that Nicola wasn’t invited. It was a slap in the face. Later, when my family travelled to LA, they refused to see me at all.

My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first. Family “love” is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo opp, even if it’s at the expense of our professional obligations.

We’ve gone out of our way for years to show up and support at every fashion show, every party, and every press activity to show ‘our perfect family.’ But the one time my wife asked for my mum’s support to save displaced dogs during the LA fires, my mum refused.

The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards. I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared.

I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief. 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.
