David and Victoria Beckham hurt by 'pointed Nicola and Brooklyn's 'pointed' move
The ongoing feud between David and Victoria Beckham and their son Brooklyn is escalating, as friends of the family have slammed Brooklyn's wife Nicola for hurting the family with her 'pointed' moves
The ongoing feud between the Beckhams and their son Brooklyn is only escalating, with friends of David and Victoria's reportedly accusing Nicola Peltz of "deliberately" rubbing it in. Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola, 30, have distanced themselves from Victoria and David, following a series of snubs.
Although their eldest son Brooklyn and his nepo-baby wife Nicola are keeping quiet on the situation, as are the Beckhams, the couple have been notably absent from a slew of family-centred events and social media posts – or lack thereof – have spoken volumes. The previously close-knit family has gone ahead with events, including David's 50th birthday celebrations and his long-awaited knighthood, but Brooklyn and Nicola have shunned it all by not turning up to events or acknowledging the special occasions on social media.
Meanwhile, the pair have publicly praised Nicola's parents numerous times on social media. Back in April, the couple posted an Easter basket they received from her parents, with the pair issuing a 'thank-you' to them on Instagram – despite Brooklyn completely ignoring his mum on Mother's Day just weeks before.
Father's Day also went without mention from Brooklyn, but Nicola gushed over her father, billionaire businessman and investor Nelson Peltz. According to a friend of the couple, it has been a particularly painful time for the Beckhams.
Speaking to the Mail, a source said: "It all feels very pointed. Like Brooklyn and Nicola are deliberately trying to rub David and Victoria's noses in it."
Elsewhere, a separate source recently claimed that the Beckhams' attempts to support their kids to stand on their own two feet has been taken as "tight" by the Peltzes. But, after Nicola's parents gifted her money to buy a £10.5 million mansion in Los Angeles, another source stated Victoria is concerned that her son is trapped.
An insider said that the family were hoping his move to America wouldn't be "permanent", but their "house purchase quashes any last hopes". And with both Nicola and Brooklyn named on the house, he could find it difficult to up and move.
A source told the Mirror: "This house has nothing to do with family dynamics. Both Nicola and Brooklyn's careers are based in Los Angeles, and Brooklyn spent part of his childhood there while his father played for LA Galaxy.
"During that time, he attended school in LA for several years and built a life and friendships in the city. LA has always felt like home to him."
But Victoria and David, who both come from working class backgrounds, have always put emphasis on the need for independence. The source added: "When it came to buying this house, of course they weren't just going to hand their son millions of pounds — what sort of message does that send?"
However, a source close to Brooklyn has slammed the claims as "cruel and baseless". They claimed: "It's disappointing—and frankly absurd—that anyone would try to twist Nicola and Brooklyn's marriage, and this meaningful milestone of home ownership, into something toxic.
"Their relationship is grounded in love, respect, and commitment. The suggestion that Brooklyn is 'trapped' isn't just false—it's a deliberately cruel and baseless narrative aimed at undermining a strong, loving marriage.'

Justin Bieber ‘trying to put on brave face' as Hailey ditches wedding ring & ‘shows off' bare finger amid divorce rumors
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) JUSTIN Bieber is putting on a brave face as his wife Hailey makes a point of ditching her wedding ring, a top body language expert has revealed. The US Sun shared how Hailey, 28, has been spotted without her wedding ring on numerous outings in New York City, as divorce rumors ramp up. 16 Hailey Bieber steps out with Camila Morrone and Suki Waterhouse for girls' night at Chez Fifi on the Upper East Side without her wedding ring Credit: BackGrid 16 Justin Bieber is 'putting on a brave face' as Hailey 'shows off' her bare finger, a body language expert has claimed Credit: Getty 16 Hailey Bieber was seen without her ring on a separate occasion for breakfast at The Commerce Inn in West Village neighborhood of New York City Credit: BackGrid 16 Divorce rumors have ramped up in recent weeks following several troubling posts and outbursts from the Sorry singer Credit: Getty Fears for the couple's marriage have intensified over recent weeks after the 31-year-old singer made troubling comments, shared worrying selfies and exposed private texts in an explosive Father's Day row. Since then, tensions have been sky high with sources from both camps sharing sordid details of the pair's marriage woes including Hailey telling Justin to "stop being a f***ing child" after posting strip club photos. Now, as the mom-of-one publicly ditches her $500,000 wedding ring, Darren Stanton, a body language and behavioural expert has revealed what is going on under the surface. "Hailey is making a very exerted effort to show the paparazzi that she's no longer wearing the ring," Stanton told The U.S. Sun. Known as TV's human lie detector, Stanton examined previous footage of the model and noticed that she never normally puts her hand "in view very predominantly" and that this is unusual for her. But, when recently out in the Big Apple, she has repeatedly been seen with her bare left hand on full display, sometimes held up to her jacket or to fix her hair but in an unnatural way. "The gesture she makes seems odd," Stanton explained. "Like when she's wearing the black jacket and a hand comes right across the chest. "That's a very unusual gesture and it seems to be that she's trying to emphasise the point that she's not got the ring on." The picture Stanton referred to was taken as Hailey stepped out with Camila Morrone and Suki Waterhouse for a girls' night at Chez Fifi on the Upper East Side. 16 The model kept her ringless left hand in full view of paparazzi Credit: BackGrid 16 The 'odd gestures' she has made make is seem that Hailey wants it known she has ditched her ring, Stanton said Credit: BackGrid 16 The 28-year-old model shares a 10-month-old son with her husband Credit: BackGrid 16 Hailey's $500,000 wedding ring was no where to be seen on recent outings Credit: BackGrid Attending such events confidently despite ongoing marriage troubles means "she's clearly not distressed," Stanton added, but said that she is clearly frustrated with her husband. "With Hailey we see elements of anger and frustration because the eyebrows are put together the eyes are narrowed and the lips are pierced," he explained. "Therefore I would assert she's angry and frustrated potentially with Justin's behaviour as I know she has allegedly said she's not happy with Justin's behaviour." 16 Hailey looked confident as she headed to a girls' night at Chez Fifi on the Upper East Side Credit: BackGrid 16 The Rhode founder's body language appears to show frustration at her husband's behavior, Stanton said Credit: BackGrid 16 Her left hand was prominently displayed for the cameras during the night out Credit: BackGrid 16 Justin's recent social media posts have sparked concern from his fans Credit: Instagram 'BRAVE FACE' As his wife makes a point of going sans ring, Justin is desperately trying to cover up his hurt, Stanton said. "With Justin, I see elements of sadness. I think he is more emotionally distressed than she is," he explained. "He is trying to put on a brave face." The body language expert detailed how Justin appears to be putting on a "masking smile" where people try to cover up their sadness with a fake smile. "Trying to conceal sadness with a smile is very common some people use a fake smile to cover frustration, anxiety, and a lack of confidence in certain social settings," he said. "With Justin, even at times when he smiles, we do not see the two main tells [of a genuine smile] which are lines at the side of the eyes called crows feet or left lines [ also known as laughter lines]." "No matter how old someone is, if the whole face is not engaged and we don't see the three lines at the side of the eyes, then it is most probably a fake smile to conceal and inner emotion and I believe that Justin is feeling sadness." It comes as the Sorry singer shared cryptic messages and leaked text messages about being "tired of transactional relationships". "If I have to do something to be loved that's not love," he wrote. An insider also previously revealed that Hailey has begged her husband to get help as his apparent mental health struggles worsen and it is reported he is in huge debt. Discussions of Justin being placed in a conservatorship by Hailey have been raised following his increasingly concerning behavior. A legal expert detailed to The U.S. Sun how Hailey would have to prove three points to carry out what has been called a "nuclear" option. The couple, who married in September 2018, share a ten-month-old son, Jack Blues Bieber. 16 The couple tied the knot in 2018 before welcoming their first child last year Credit: Instagram /justinbieber 16 A close-up of Hailey's engagement ring from Justin Credit: Instagram/haileybieber 16 Hailey looked gorgeous as she had dinner, without Justin, in NYC Credit: BackGrid

Lucy Spraggan has to go through close pal Simon Cowell's partner to speak to him
X Factor star Lucy Spraggan, who has enjoyed a successful career since appearing on the talent show in 2012, has kept a close friendship with music mogul Simon Cowell Lucy Spraggan has said that she has to "go through" Lauren to speak to Simon Cowell, despite him walking her down the aisle. Simon and Lucy have been close ever since she competed on The X Factor back in 2012, but she still doesn't have direct contact with him. Lucy has said that Simon never gets in touch first and when she wants to speak to him, she has to go through his partner Lauren. However, this is due to the fact that Simon doesn't have his own personal mobile phone. Simon is only contactable through his fiancée Lauren Silverman due to this. Despite not having regular contact over the phone, Lucy said that she and her wife Emilia Smith often stay with Simon and Lauren at their homes in LA and the Cotswolds as well as going on holiday to Barbados. Lucy told The Sun: "I speak to Lauren all the time. But Simon hasn't got a phone so I speak to him when she's on the phone!" Simon played a big role at Lucy's wedding last year. He walked the singer down the aisle as well as reading a poem at the ceremony. It was during a holiday when Simon was asked by Lucy to do the honour. Speaking exclusively to the Mirror, the singer-songwriter said: "It's as nice to have a close bond with anyone. He's just a really remarkable guy, really individual person. "I speak about this a lot, there's a lot of people that have a lot of things to say about him, there's a bit of a mass perception that a lot of people can have and I can only go off the person that I've interacted with and I'll judge someone on their merit and how they've been with me. "I've had nothing but great times with Simon and had a lot of really important conversations, I think he's a great guy." Lucy was previously married to Georgina Gordon before they went their separate ways in 2019. The two of them talked about wanting to start a family together and they fostered 12 children during their six year marriage. However, Lucy has said now that she doesn't see children being in her future. She said: "I don't want kids. All of my friends that had kids are like, 'Luce - don't do it. I love them, but don't!' "Em has some health issues herself. And, like, I do music and I do my job so that I can experience peace in between. I feel like I couldn't give what I need to give to my career if I had a child, and I wouldn't have any f*****g peace If I had a child. It's dogs, dogs for me."
