Nicola Peltz Beckham has thanked the friends who came to husband Brooklyn Beckham’s “special” birthday celebrations amid his feud with his family.

The Lola actor and director shared a selection of photos on Thursday featuring images of the festivities she had arranged for her husband’s 27th birthday the day before.

The images included a photo of Nicola and Brooklyn – who slammed his estranged parents, Sir David and Lady Victoria Beckham, in a lengthy statement in January – kissing, as well as another of them posing together. There was also a selfie Nicola took with friends Anthony Barillo and Alessandro Morelli.

She captioned the post: “last night was so special [heart emoji] thank you to everyone who came and made it so perfect. we all love you so much brooklyn!”

Brooklyn replied in the comments: “My sexy little pepper xx.”

On Brooklyn’s actual birthday, Nicola, 31, shared a video of him blowing the candles out on a set of birthday donuts and shared a heartfelt message to the chef.

She wrote: “happy birthday baby [cake and heart emojis] i hope all your dreams and wishes come true! you light up every room you walk into and anyone who knows you loves you [tearful emoji] you’re the most special human and i love being your wife. i love you i love you i love you.”

Brooklyn commented: “My baby girl.”

While Nicola’s public declaration of love for Brooklyn on his birthday will have been welcomed by the star, he was said to have been infuriated after David and Victoria shared messages to him on their own Instagram pages.

A source told Entertainment Tonight: “Brooklyn and [his wife Nicola Peltz] are disheartened they chose to make public Instagram posts for his birthday.

“These are the exact type of performative public actions that Brooklyn has been trying to put an end to, to no avail.”

As well as David, 50, and Victoria, 51, posting messages, his brothers Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 21, also publicly wished him a happy birthday.

In his birthday post, David shared two childhood photographs of Brooklyn and used the nickname he has long used for his son.

The ex-footballer captioned the snaps: “27 today. Happy Birthday Bust. We love you x”.

Minutes later, Victoria posted the same image as her husband had, alongside a second photograph of herself laughing with her son.

She wrote: “Happy birthday Brooklyn, we love you so much.”

Brooklyn’s younger brother Romeo shared a childhood photograph of the pair without a caption, while his other brother Cruz also posted a throwback snap, adding: “I love you”.

The public declarations come after Brooklyn revealed he was cutting ties with his family.

In the six-page post, Brooklyn accused his parents of interfering in his marriage and prioritising public image over private relationships.

The dispute has played out largely in public view, with Brooklyn absent from several recent family events, including celebrations for David’s 50th birthday and the footballer’s investiture at Windsor Castle in November. He also did not appear in Victoria’s recent Netflix docuseries.

In his furious January statement on Instagram, Brooklyn wrote: “For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family.

“The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.

“Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.”
