Nicola Anne Peltz Beckham, born on January 9, 1995, is an American actress and filmmaker who has recently found herself at the center of a rumored feud involving the Beckham family. Brooklyn Beckham, her husband, has publicly addressed the alleged rift, claiming his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, have been trying to sabotage their relationship.
Peltz was born in Westchester County, New York, into a prominent family. Her father, Nelson Peltz, is a billionaire investor and founding partner of Trian Fund Management, while her mother, Claudia Heffner Peltz, is a former model. She has a large family, with one sister and six brothers, including Will Peltz, who is also an actor. Nicola's upbringing exposed her to elite business and social circles from a young age. She attended Rye Country Day School, Windward School, and the Professional Children's School.
Peltz began her acting career in 2006, with a role in the Christmas comedy "Deck the Halls". She followed this with a part in the 2008 comedy film "Harold". Her breakthrough role came in 2010 when she played Katara in "The Last Airbender". She gained further recognition for her role as Bradley Martin in the A&E drama series "Bates Motel" (2013–2015). In 2014, she starred as Tessa Yeager in "Transformers: Age of Extinction," which significantly raised her public profile. Peltz's other acting credits include "Eye of the Hurricane," "Affluenza," "Youth in Oregon," "Back Roads," "Holidate," and "Welcome to Chippendales". In 2024, she made her feature film directorial debut with "Lola," where she also served as writer and star.
In addition to her acting career, Peltz has also worked as a model, walking the runway for Alexander Wang's final Balenciaga show at Paris Fashion Week in 2015 and appearing in music videos for Miley Cyrus and Zayn Malik.
Peltz's marriage to Brooklyn Beckham in April 2022 brought her even greater attention. However, recent reports suggest a growing rift between Brooklyn and his family, with Brooklyn alleging his parents have been attempting to undermine his relationship with Nicola since before their wedding. He claims Victoria cancelled making Nicola's wedding dress at the last minute and that his family has consistently disrespected his wife. Brooklyn has stated he does not want to reconcile with his family. Nicola Peltz has yet to directly comment on the situation.
