Actress Nicola Peltz has reportedly removed the vast majority of her Instagram posts featuring Selena Gomez, fuelling speculation among fans that a once-high-profile friendship has deteriorated.
The reported deletion, widely shared on X (formerly Twitter), claims Peltz removed nearly all content celebrating a friendship dating back to 2022.
The alleged Instagram purge immediately reignited questions about the current state of the bond between Peltz and Gomez, who were once frequently photographed together and publicly effusive about their closeness.
Once Public, Now Silent: The Evolution Of A Celebrity Friendship
Peltz, 30, and Gomez, 33, first drew widespread attention as friends after meeting at the Academy Museum Gala in October 2022.

The duo, along with Peltz's husband, Brooklyn Beckham, 26, often socialised together, holidayed as a trio and posted images from shared moments on social platforms. In early 2023, Gomez even half-jokingly referred to their closeness as a 'throuple', underscoring the tight bond they presented publicly.
Over subsequent years, the celebrity friendship was part of wider fan and media interest, with photos of the three often circulating online and on Instagram.
However, public appearances and social interactions between Peltz and Gomez became noticeably less frequent after 2024. By 2025, neither had featured prominently in the other's social feeds.
Instagram Deletions Fuel Online Speculation
The recent claims about Peltz's Instagram activity originate from a viral post on X, a fan account that asserted she had 'deleted almost ALL photos and everything praising Selena Gomez'.

The tweeted screenshots and commentary triggered a wave of speculation across fan communities and gossip forums. Similar posts on X suggested Peltz's actions signify a definitive end to the friendship.
Platforms such as YouTube also feature commentary on the situation, though these videos typically rehash social media claims and do not cite direct statements from Peltz or Gomez themselves.

At present, neither Nicola Peltz nor Selena Gomez has made a direct statement confirming that Peltz has knowingly purged posts about their relationship. Independent verification of the exact number of deleted images or the motives behind any such curation has not been made available through verified Instagram posts or a press release from either party.
Insiders And Official Sources Push Back On 'Feud' Narrative
While social media chatter asserts a dramatic falling out, several credible entertainment news sources have repeatedly reported that there is no confirmed feud between Peltz and Gomez.
An exclusive source told People magazine that although the friendship has cooled, there is 'no bad blood' between Gomez and the Peltz Beckhams — Nicola and Brooklyn.
The insider explained that the trio simply grew apart and that there was 'no singular event' responsible for any perceived distance.
Similarly, outlets such as Marie Claire UK have reported that sources close to the parties have dismissed rumours of a dramatic falling out as untrue, advising that fans should not assume there is a feud.
These comments echo an ongoing pattern in celebrity reportage, where relationships between public figures evolve organically over time, sometimes leading to less frequent public interaction without indicating animosity.
Social platforms have amplified the conversation, with fan accounts on X and other networks reposting and interpreting the alleged deletions. This has contributed to a narrative of drama that currently lacks confirmed evidence from primary sources such as official statements, interviews with the stars, press releases, or authenticated screenshots from verified accounts.
Despite the swirling chatter and intensified curiosity surrounding the situation, the available, credible information indicates a cooling of a high-profile friendship rather than an irrefutable public feud.
Nicola Peltz's social media curation raises questions but falls short of proving a definitive falling-out with Selena Gomez.
