Nicola Peltz’s billionaire father has now broken his silence on the ongoing Beckham family feud at a public event yesterday (3 February).
It's been a whirlwind ever since the eldest son of Victoria and David Beckham, Brooklyn, took to Instagram to drop a number of bombshell claims about his family last month (19 January).
The 26-year-old's slew of allegations detailed his gripes with 'Brand Beckham', wedding dress meltdowns, as well as his and his wife Nicola's first dance drama, allegedly dating back to 2022.
"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," Brooklyn claimed, adding that he 'doesn't want to reconcile with his family'.

Since then, family members have spoken out, ex-girlfriends have come forward, and wedding guests have shared their version of events, but the latest update in the saga has seen 31-year-old Nicola's billionaire father, Nelson Peltz, address the situation himself.
The 83-year-old is the founder of Trian Fund Management and has a reported net worth of over $1.6 billion, as per Forbes.
He spoke about the ongoing drama during a Q&A at The Wall Street Journal's Invest Live in West Palm Beach event on Tuesday (3 February).
"Has my family been in the press lately?" Nelson quipped, before stating: "I haven't noticed that at all."
He continued: "My daughter and the Beckhams are a whole other story, and that's not for coverage here today. But I'll tell you my daughter is great, my son-in-law, Brooklyn, is great, and I look forward to them having a long, happy marriage together."
The father-of-ten was also asked if he ever gives the young couple any tips on how to navigate difficult situations, to which he replied: "I do, sometimes they give me advice."
"My advice is to stay the hell out of the press. How much good did that do?" Nelson added.
It's clear that Brooklyn is not interested in any 'reconciliation' with his family.
"My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn't stopped," he wrote, later adding elsewhere: "My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we've tried to come together as one."
"I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief," he concluded. "My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want [is] peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family."
Tyla has reached out to both Victoria and David Beckham's representatives for comment.
