Nicola Peltz shared a telling message for the Beckhams in the form of a bikini-clad Instagram snap on Sunday, after it emerged she’s grown ‘obsessed’ with driving her husband Brooklyn’s rift with his family.

The actress, 31, had shared a snap of herself posing in a pale blue two-piece after sources shared that she is still hell-bent on winning the feud with the Beckham clan.

In her post, Nicola appeared to send a message about where her alliances lie, as she displayed a tattoo on her torso.

The tattoo, which was written in Yiddish, translates to the phrase ‘family first’. 

Over the weekend, the Daily Mail’s Katie Hind revealed that Brooklyn is hoping to one day get back in touch with his parents, despite Nicola’s contrasting view. You can read our full report here.

The couple are at the heart of an acrimonious divide that has resulted in them snubbing all significant family celebrations over recent months, including his father David’s milestone 50th birthday.

The widening rift has had a notable impact across social media, where Brooklyn makes an income through online cooking tutorials and the continuing promotion of his hot sauce brand, Cloud 23. 

While the influencer still commands an impressive 16 million followers on Instagram, the decision to cut ties with his immediate family is understood to have lost him an average 188 followers a day over the last month. 

Not so his parents, whose already prodigious following on the social media platform – David boasts 88.5 million followers to Victoria’s 33.4 million – has dramatically risen by an average 2,633 a day. 

A source for Ace.com, who collate the day-to-day figures, told The Sun: ‘Follower trends show where audience attention and engagement sit.  

‘The data points to a notable divergence in public sentiment.’ 

It comes a day after Brooklyn shared a photo of Nicola sat on his lap as they kissed in front of a view of the Los Angeles skyline behind them.

The Daily Mail revealed that relations between the Beckhams broke down so completely last summer that at one point, Brooklyn asked his parents to contact him only via their respective lawyers, Schillings and Harbottle & Lewis.

One source told the Daily Mail: ‘David was told to speak to them via Schillings. That was the only way for them to communicate.’

Nicola also took to her Instagram Stories where she shared a photo of Brooklyn's many inkings on his arm as he helped himself to a handful of blueberries

It’s understood that Brooklyn doesn’t want his parents to contact him directly, or make public statements about him on social media.

There was no legal action between them – and no legal basis for the letter, which was simply a request. 

However, Brooklyn still remains in regular contact with both sets of grandparents.

An insider told The Sun: ‘Brooklyn absolutely adores them, and knows how much pain this is causing everyone. So he has reached out in his own time, but tried to keep it low-key so as not to drag them into it.

‘Brooklyn is navigating this soul-crushing family feud as best he can but it isn’t easy on anyone. Nicola remains his absolute rock.’

The ‘talk to my lawyers’ move might explain why Brooklyn opted to block his parents – and siblings Romeo, Cruz and Harper – on social media just before Christmas.

The family had been viewing and liking his cooking posts. And it was felt this was contrary to Brooklyn’s wish they would leave him and his wife alone.
