Nicola Peltz-Beckham appears to have thrown a rather pointed message towards Sir David and Lady Victoria Beckham after the pair publicly reached out to eldest son Brooklyn over the New Year.
Ms Peltz-Beckham shared a New Year’s Instagram Story expressing gratitude for the “beautiful humans” in her life, conspicuously omitting any mention of her in-laws.
The 30-year-old actress posted a photograph featuring friends and relatives, writing: “So grateful to start the New Year with these beautiful humans.”
Among those tagged were her husband, Brooklyn, 26, her brother, Bradley, and Aislinn Carne, the girlfriend of her brother Zach.

Several friends also appeared in the group shot, including Kenya Jones, daughter of the late Quincy Jones, alongside Alison Albright and Lovette Candice.
The post arrives amid an escalating rift between Brooklyn and his parents, with the couple having blocked both David, 50, and Victoria, 51, on Instagram last month.
The family dispute has intensified over the festive period, with Brooklyn reportedly telling sources that his relationship with his estranged parents is “over.”
The aspiring chef made this declaration while celebrating New Year’s Eve in Florida, where he and his spouse attended a performance by rapper 50 Cent at the South Florida venue E11EVEN.

Brooklyn has been absent from significant family occasions throughout the year, missing both his father’s milestone 50th birthday celebration and Sir David’s recent investiture ceremony.
The couple spent Christmas with Ms Peltz-Beckham’s family in America rather than joining the Beckhams, having been pictured together with Sir David and Lady Victoria the previous year.
Despite the apparent breakdown in communication, Sir David has continued his efforts to mend the fractured relationship through social media.
The former England captain extended an olive branch to his son this week when he shared a collection of family photographs with his Instagram followers on New Year’s Day, including an image of Brooklyn as a teenager.

He captioned the post: “I love you all so much,” alongside further pictures featuring his other children, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper.
A final image showed Victoria with all four of their children, accompanied by the words: “You are my life.”
Victoria subsequently reshared the photograph of David and Brooklyn, adding an affectionate love heart emoji.
However, Brooklyn snubbed these gestures, instead choosing to enjoy the 50 Cent performance with his wife rather than acknowledge his parents’ public overtures.

Cruz has publicly addressed speculation surrounding the family drama, responding to reports that his parents had unfollowed Brooklyn 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 stated in a repost of an article making the claim.
Despite the estrangement, sources indicate Brooklyn retains affection for his grandparents, with Sir David’s mother, Sandra, and Victoria’s mother, Jackie Adams, both reaching out to him over the festive period.
A source told The Mirror: “While things between him and his parents are over, Brooklyn is still very fond of his grandparents. There is a lot of love for them, and that has never faltered.”
