Brooklyn Beckham's wife Nicola breaks social media silence after he blocks his family on Instagram

Nicola Peltz-Beckham has emphasised the importance of 'family' today in her first post since husband Brooklyn's viral bust-up with his parents.

For a couple of years now, the couple are said to have endured a tense relationship with David and Victoria Beckham. Despite this, the big-name brood have avoided addressing the rumoured rift in the public arena - until this week, that is.

Taking to Instagram on Sunday (21 December) Brooklyn's baby brother Cruz made the bombshell claim that Brooklyn, 26, had blocked him and the rest of his family online.

Not only did this include his parents, ex-football star David, 50, and fashion designer Victoria, 51, but their middle brother Romeo, 23, and their 14-year-old sister Harper.

Cruz began by branding gossip that the couple had unfollowed their eldest first as 'not true', adding: "My mum and dad would never unfollow their son … Let's get the facts right. They woke up blocked - as did I."

Though Brooklyn, who wed American actress Nicola in April 2022, is yet to speak out on the allegations, his other half has broken her social media silence.

Nicola, 30, took to Instagram to post a photo alongside her billionaire father, Nelson Peltz, while the two celebrated the Jewish Festival of Lights, captioned: "Happy Hanukkah from our family to yours."

For those in need of a reminder, she and Victoria have been rumoured to endure a tenuous relationship since she and Brooklyn's nuptials, during which her mother-in-law was reportedly saddened by the choice of wedding dress.

Despite Victoria telling Nicola that she would love to design her gown, and the bride claiming it would 'be her honour', that never happened, and Nicola ended up wearing Valentino Haute Couture to say 'I do'.

"Nicola was painted as a brat for not wearing Victoria Beckham at the wedding," an insider told PEOPLE. "She'd gone to a ton of Victoria Beckham fashion shows and events in Victoria's clothing. She even wore Victoria Beckham to her Lola movie premiere."

Another source claimed that was 'far from the truth', however.

The pair were also said to have butted-heads after Victoria allegedly 'ruining' the couple's first dance, when the family's friend Marc Anthony got onstage and announced, ‘The most beautiful woman in the room tonight, come on up… Victoria Beckham!', after which Nicola 'ran from the room crying'.

Several months later, Brooklyn was accused of covering up a 'Mama's Boy' tattoo with a new piece of art featuring words that Nicola wrote to him in a note before their wedding.

Things were finally said to have to come to a blow earlier this year, however, when Nicola and Brooklyn failed to attend David's lavish 50th birthday bash, being spotted in London days before the event, but never showing up.

The couple's eldest and his other half also failed to publicly celebrate the former England captain's knighthood back in October, with Brooklyn being accused of further rubbing salt in the wound by telling wife Nicola on Instagram around the same time, 'I will always choose you'.
