Nicola's years of silence on the Beckham family drama proves one thing: she's not the 'controlling wife'

Brooklyn Beckham has well and truly unleashed, dropping the most explosive celebrity statement in recent memory and breaking his silence on his ongoing feud with his parents. The six-page statement includes claims about his wedding to now-wife Nicola Peltz, the early days of their relationship and how they have tried to reconcile with Sir David and Lady Victoria Beckham. It reveals a lot, but it also shows Nicola, 31, has quietly stood behind her husband as his relationship with his parents crumbled. Nicola has been accused of sharing pointed messages since the feud between Brooklyn and his parents reignited in May 2025. One of her latest posts, a pointed tribute to her own mother, Claudia Heffner Peltz, raised eyebrows. "I love you mom, so so much," the post starts, alongside a photo of them together. "I don't know what I would do in life without your love.READ MORE: Brooklyn accuses mum of wild wedding moveREAD MORE: Italian fashion icon Valentino Garavani dies at 93READ MORE: Meet the winner of the Robert Irwin lookalike contesthttps://www.instagram.com/p/DTjYHTrEcJy/?utm_source=ig_embed&"Thank you for being you, the most beautiful human inside and out, there is truly no one like you."In late December, she shared what many interpreted as a thinly-veiled swipe at her strained relationship with the Beckhams. She posted a Brigitte Bardot quote following the French film icon's death at 91, but the context is what got people speculating. "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 actress shared on her Instagram Stories.READ BROOKLYN BECKHAM'S FULL STATEMENT HERE. The post came after the couple celebrated Christmas with her family, once again snubbing any chance of being with his family. But while her "pointed messages" or "thinly-veiled swipes" have been dissected by the media, her silence and overall positive message about her family, particularly her mother-in-law Victoria, prove that she's tried to keep what was really happening quiet. Both she and Brooklyn have stayed virtually silent until now, or painted a very different picture in the media. If anyone could have blown this all open years ago it was Nicola, but her silence has proven one thing: she has made the choice to stand by her husband.One of the aspiring chef's biggest bombshells was his side of the story about the now infamous wedding dress debacle with Victoria and Nicola ahead of their April 2022 nuptials.Nicola officially addressed the situation, telling The Times in October 2022."I think it all started, and I've said this before, because I didn't end up wearing Victoria's wedding dress, but the real truth is, I really, really wanted to wear it and I thought it was so beautiful that Brooklyn's mum got to make that for me! And I was really excited to wear it! And I didn't end up wearing it," she said."Truthfully, I was really excited to wear her dress. It makes me sad when I read things that people say I was never planning on wearing it. That's just not true."The comment from her is a far cry from Brooklyn's claims that Victoria backed out of making her dress at the eleventh hour, leaving her scrambling to find another option.Now, for Nicola in particular to keep her mouth shut about this for years, proves that she has been the one letting her husband steer how they are navigating the feud.With his relationship with his parents crumbling, it's clear she and her family have been his rock and a place of support.They were present at not only Nicola and Brooklyn's vow renewal last year, which he also addressed in the statement, in leading roles.In recent months, the bond between Brooklyn and his father-in-law seems to be getting stronger too.One claim that kept coming back as rumours of the family feud kept reigniting was putting the blame on Nicola and that she was the one behind it all.That is something he also swiftly shut down in his statement. "The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards," he wrote.Judging from his statement, and the lack of comment on any of the issues he mentioned over the years, he is telling the truth.It's clear now that Nicola has been a pillar of support on the sidelines, and is yet to weigh in publicly herself on this explosive statement from her husband.
