Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz have continued to present a united front amid growing backlash from fans urging him to reconcile with his family.
On Monday, Peltz, 30, shared a photograph on Instagram of herself and Beckham, 26, curled up together on a sofa, dressed in matching grey outfits and laughing as they looked at something on his phone.
She captioned the image: “We didn’t plan our outfits,” to which Beckham replied: “my sweetie pie”.
The post came just two days after Beckham was notably absent from the wedding of Holly Ramsay and Adam Peaty, an event attended by the rest of the Beckham family.
It is understood that the couple have had little or no contact with Beckham’s parents and siblings for several months, following tensions that reportedly escalated after he missed his father’s 50th birthday celebrations.

The comment section beneath Peltz’s post quickly filled with pleas from followers encouraging reconciliation. “Call your parents, life is too short,” wrote one, while another added: “Never forget where you came from.”
The situation was further inflamed before Christmas after Beckham’s younger brother, Cruz Beckham, 20, claimed that Brooklyn had blocked his entire family on social media.
“My mum and dad would never unfollow their son... Let’s get the facts right. They woke up blocked... as did I,” he wrote.
While his parents, Sir David and Victoria Beckham, and his siblings were in the UK celebrating the Ramsay-Peaty wedding, Brooklyn remained in the United States, sharing a Grinch-themed post from afar.
The aspiring chef and his wife have been absent from numerous Beckham family events over the past year, including birthdays, parties and holidays.
Hours later, Peltz appeared to offer her own pointed commentary, sharing a quote from Brigitte Bardot shortly after her death: “If I could do anything about the way people behave towards each other, I would, but since I can’t I’ll stick to the animals.”
The post followed another moment that raised eyebrows, when Peltz shared a selfie captioned “Love being home” as she and her husband stayed in Los Angeles instead of travelling to the wedding. Beckham was quick to respond in the comments, writing: “Damn she sexy xx.”
Brooklyn, who spent Christmas with his billionaire in-laws, is said to have been invited to Holly Ramsay’s wedding.
According to the Daily Mail, he has since told friends that he wants his parents to apologise to Peltz, while continuing to publicly insist that his wife is “his everything”.
An insider told the outlet: “There was a long briefing war where it was open season on Nicola. They (David and Victoria) targeted Nicola and thought that they could do so without consequences.
“You can't inflict that much pain and damage on two people and then expect to pick up the relationship via a public social media post. The person who caused the pain does not get to decide when they declare it is over.
“If they want to make up then they need to apologise and acknowledge the pain caused and make changes to show that it is not going to happen again.”
