The pair have reportedly been pals since 2022 - with Nicola and Brooklyn spending New Years 2023 with Selena in Mexico . One follower commented: 'No selena? I miss your friendship with selena." Another added: "Wondering that too as it's Selena's birthday and she usually posts for that, wall, stories or on Selena's wall." While a third wrote: " She's not even friends with his Mum anymore, so ..@selenagomez ?"

Nicola wrote on Instagram: 'My everything @BrooklynBeckhamPeltz' as Brooklyn reshared the post with his own followers. Brooklyn Beckham unfollows his brothers just hours after reaching out to sister Harper on her birthday But while the couple appeared closer than ever on their luxury holiday, tensions within the Beckham clan had been simmering. Brooklyn recently broke his silence amid ongoing family drama, wishing sister Harper a happy birthday just days after being caught in a so-called 'WW3' rift involving his brothers Romeo and Cruz. The feud reportedly boiled over after Romeo blocked both Brooklyn and Nicola on Instagram , blindsiding the couple during their holiday. Sources close to The Sun said: 'They had no idea until they saw it online.' The situation quickly escalated into a full-blown social media saga. Romeo even posting a cryptic message about "walking away" which many interpreted as a dig at his older brother.

Wedding Dress Controversy: Rumours begin circulating that there's tension between Nicola and Victoria Beckham after Nicola chooses not to wear a Victoria Beckham-designed wedding gown. Nicola later clarifies in August 2022 (and again in March 2023) that Victoria's atelier couldn't make the dress in time, but reports in May 2025 suggest Victoria actually changed her mind about making the dress.

May 2025: David Beckham's 50th Birthday Snub: Brooklyn and Nicola are notably absent from David Beckham's 50th birthday celebrations in London, despite being invited. Reports suggest their absence was due to Brooklyn not wanting to be in the same room as Kim Turnbull, the girlfriend of Romeo who had previously been reported to have been dating Brooklyn, who David allegedly opted to have at the party over Nicola. Rumours emerge of a falling out between Brooklyn and his younger brother Romeo, reportedly due to Romeo's new girlfriend, DJ Kim Turnbull, who allegedly had a past connection with Brooklyn.

Sources claim that tensions between Brooklyn and Nicola and his parents are "definitely not beyond repair."

Brooklyn publicly wishes his sister Harper a happy 14th birthday on Instagram, tagging Nicola, which is seen as a potential "olive branch" and a rare public message to his family amid the rumored rift.
