We thought the hatchet was buried.
This was without counting the new speech of Nicola Peltz in the columns of the
Sunday Times
.
This Sunday, October 30, the wife of Brooklyn Beckham – the eldest of the siblings – returned to the rumors of a falling out with her mother-in-law, Victoria.
"No family is perfect," she said rather cryptically.
Something to revive speculation, even if the 27-year-old American actress denies any conflict with her in-laws.
"It's not an argument!
I see this word "quarrel, quarrel, quarrel" everywhere!
I don't pay attention to all that... If I did, I would go crazy," she insists.
Not really convincing.
For several weeks now, it has been rumored that Nicola Peltz and Victoria Beckham have been cold since preparing for the American's wedding with the designer's eldest son.
The information came from the tabloid
Page Six
on
August 4.
“She (
Nicola, editor's note
) didn't want Victoria to be part of the organization, and didn't let her know about anything.
The communication was minimal”, then explained an anonymous source to the media.
Since the wedding, on April 9, Brooklyn Beckham, the eldest of the siblings, would have even distanced himself from his parents.
"They haven't spoken to him much for the past few months," the insider told
Page Six

The Dress of Discord
To understand everything about the quarrel of the Beckham clan, it is therefore necessary to go back to the months which preceded the marriage of Brooklyn and the young woman.
And in this case, an event set fire to the powder: the fact that Nicola Peltz opted for a Valentino wedding dress, instead of an outfit designed by Victoria Beckham.
A case that the tabloids called the "Dressgate" (understand, "the dress of discord").
Since then, the versions follow one another and Nicola Peltz intends to reestablish her truth: she had indeed planned to wear a creation by Victoria Beckham, but she had to change her mind.
And this, because of his mother-in-law.
She said her workshop couldn't make the dress in time.

"The truth is, I really, really wanted to wear it and I thought it was so beautiful that Brooklyn's mom could do it for me!
I was really excited about this idea!
And I ended up not wearing it,” claims Nicola Peltz in the interview with The
Sunday Times
.
And this, because of the ex-member of the Spice Girls.
“Victoria was very busy, and a few days passed without hearing from me.
Since I was filming, maybe Victoria didn't want to upset me, so she called my mom [Claudia Heffner Peltz] and told her she couldn't do the dress.
She said her workshop couldn't make it in time."
Which would have greatly upset the bride-to-be, forced to find a plan B. The
Bates Motel actress
(2013, being a big fan of Valentino, she finally opted for a dress from the Italian label.

One thing is certain: these new comments from Nicola Peltz in the press are unlikely to appease the spirits.
Worse, they would infuriate the Beckham clan.
In the
Sun
, a close friend of Victoria even accuses the American of "making the name of the Beckhams her business".
"All of this is just fanning the flames," he lamented.
“It's slightly infuriating to say the least.
And for someone who keeps insisting she's not interested in the Beckhams' name, she talks about it a lot in her interviews."
Cold War
This is not the first time that Nicola Peltz has half-worded her mother-in-law.
A few weeks ago, in an interview granted to
Grazia USA
, the actress already said: “Well, I planned to wear the wedding dress imagined by Victoria.
I was really very happy to be able to wear a creation of my future mother-in-law.
Before adding: “We got in touch to start designing the dress.
Then, a few days passed, and I had no news.
During the summer, Brooklyn Beckham also spoke about these speculations in the
Power of Young Hollywood 2022
edition of
Variety
.
“I learned that people would always write this kind of thing, had indicated the young man to the magazine.
They will always try to put you down.
But everyone gets along well (
in the family, editor's note
), which is a good thing.”
However, the British tabloids give a completely different version of the facts: the eldest of the Beckham siblings has not spoken to his family "for months".
According to unnamed sources, Victoria Beckham and Nicola Peltz "can't stand each other and don't talk to each other".
The preparation for the wedding would have been “horrible”, because the American would not have wanted her mother-in-law “to be involved in its organization”.
Last week, we learned again from the
Mirror
that the young couple had chosen not to celebrate Christmas in England with the Beckhams.
And this for the second year in a row.
The White Flag of Victoria
For their part, the Beckhams play the card of discretion and seek to give the image of a united family despite the rumors of estrangement.
At the beginning of the month, Victoria Beckham did not hesitate to invite her daughter-in-law to her fashion show during Paris Fashion Week.
A way, perhaps, to wave the white flag.

However, behind the scenes, tensions would have remained.
The celebrity press claims that Nicola Peltz deliberately turned her back on her stepmother.
Nor has it gone unnoticed that the fashion-savvy actress hasn't commented on any social media posts about Victoria Beckham's latest collection.
Instead, she praised
Vogue UK
editor Edward Enninful and praised the “stunning” show by Valentino designer Pierpaolo Piccioli.
A divided family, marriage with an American actress, exile in the United States... The parallel with Megxit is not far away.
It remains to be seen whether it will lead, there too, to an official rupture.
