Nicola Peltz-Beckham has shared a cryptic Instagram post in the wake of rumours her relationship with her mother-in-law, Victoria Beckham, has become very frosty.
The 27-year-old actor, who married 23-year-old Brooklyn Beckham earlier this year, posted a picture of herself in bed with red, tearful eyes to her 2.7 million Instagram followers, saying she "finds it hard to show the sad bits of me".
"Growing up with seven siblings and two very strong parents made me really tough, they hammered it into me to not let people bring me down or hurt my heart. It made me put such a wall up to protect myself especially in this industry," Peltz-Beckham wrote alongside the pic.

"We all have days where people make you feel bad and it's okay to be hurt by it.
"I just thought I would write something because I never show this side of me here. I wanted to show this side of me. I love you all so much and truly appreciate all of your support. It means so much when you guys are kind on my page I want you to know I see you, I hear you, and it means a lot to me."
New Zealand-born actor Melanie Lynskey was among those who wrote messages of support underneath Peltz-Beckham's emotional post.
"I'm surprised every day by how mean people can be. I hope your sweet heart feels better soon and I send you so much love," she wrote, to which Peltz-Beckham replied, "That means more to me than you will ever know. I look up to you so much."
The Instagram post comes as rumours continue to swirl that Peltz-Beckham and her mother-in-law have fallen out.
A source told Page Six this week, "They can't stand each other and don't talk."

The drama is believed to have begun during planning for the Peltz-Beckham wedding, with the bride reportedly not letting her mother-in-law "be any part of the planning, and she wouldn't clue Victoria in on anything. Communication was minimal".
The source added the women's relationship is now "non-stop petty drama".
