Nicola Peltz has publicly shown her support for husband Brooklyn Beckham after he posted a cryptic Instagram video that insiders say has left his family "devastated." Brooklyn, who is reported to be at odds with his parents, shared a video with the caption "Long story" during the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2026.
The Daily Mail reported that those close to the Beckham family believe the post is a thinly veiled reference to the highly publicised rift that has developed between Brooklyn and his family over the past 18 months.
The cryptic video
In the footage, Brooklyn addresses the camera directly. "You're probably wondering why I'm watching the Fifa World Cup 2026 from Home. It's a long story. It's complicated. More soon," he says in the video.
The post drew immediate attention from fans and friends. Peltz expressed her support by pressing the heart button on the post.
Family 'devastated'
Sources close to the Beckham family did not hold back in their reaction to the video. "To do an advert based on estrangement from family as if it's a joke when his family is devastated and his sister and grandparents are inconsolable is shocking," an insider said. "Especially from someone who claims he wants peace and privacy," the source added.
David Beckham's Hollywood milestone
The controversy emerged just days after Brooklyn's father, Former Manchester United and England Captain David Beckham, 51, was honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, hours before the United States hosted its opening game of the 2026 World Cup.
Speaking to fans gathered on the sun-drenched boulevard, Beckham described the moment with visible emotion. "I've always been a dreamer, but I could never have imagined that an honor like this would come to a working-class English soccer player like me," he said.
"How fitting then that I am here today as we prepare to celebrate the opening here in the US of the 2026 World Cup. It's a powerful moment to recognize how the sport I love so much has grown in this country over the past three decades," he added, calling the occasion "a truly incredible moment."
