Nicola Peltz 'reaches out' to Beckhams as she dons David's football shorts
Has Nicola Peltz sent a message back to the Beckhams in Britain? She was wearing something significant as she posed up a storm with a selfie on her family yacht this weekend Fans have been left wondering if Nicola Peltz has finally reached out to the Beckhams after donning a pair of Brooklyn's dad David's football shorts. Speculation of tension between Victoria and David and their son and his wife was initially sparked by an incident over a wedding dress and, three years on, LA-based Brooklyn and his wife have now reportedly cut contact altogether. But there has been a subtle hint dropped that Nicola could be open to patching things up. Brooklyn did not attend any of David's celebrations and failed to mark his long awaited knighthood or Father's Day. He is expected to be a no-show for sister Harper's 14th birthday this week as he and his wife continue to celebrate her father's 83rd celebrations in America. But has she sent a message back to Britain? The model donned the England football shorts from the 90s as she took a selfie on the family yacht as she paid tribute to her family. Then, she showed her followers her Pop Mart dolls lined up in a row, and she wrote: "our little family", with a telling second snap, which she captioned: "My mom just gets it." Talk of tensions between Brooklyn and his partner with his mum and dad started in 2022 around the time of Brooklyn and Nicola's wedding – and until now there have been no signs of it ending any time soon. Brooklyn, 26, is still celebrating the birthday of Nicola's billionaire dad, who she called 'most loving father', just a few weeks after missing his own dad's star-studded 50th bash in the UK. It is unlikely the couple will end their UK exile on Thursday for Harper's big day with Brooklyn expected to be missing from the celebrations once again. Our source said that while the family fallout is mainly between Brooklyn and his parents, his younger siblings – including birthday girl Harper – have sadly become collateral damage. 'Harper's been particularly affected by what's going on because she's always been really close to Brooklyn,' claimed the source. 'They've always had a lovely bond because Brooklyn was that bit older when Harper was born and the hope when Brooklyn married Nicola was that she'd become like a big sister to Harper in a house full of brothers. "But obviously that hasn't happened and it's potentially going to be heartbreaking for Harper if Brooklyn doesn't show up for her on her birthday.' As Brooklyn and his model and actress wife celebrated financier Nelson Peltz's 83rd birthday with Nicola's family in Bedford, New York, Victoria, 51, and David, 50, were back at home in the UK. Nicola, 30, later posted a snap to her social media of herself with her dad and Brooklyn, and wrote a gushing tribute to Nelson which said, 'I am so lucky to be your daughter, you're the most loving and supportive father I could ever dream of… Thank you for always being there for us – our constant love and support.' If Brooklyn fails to acknowledge his little sister's birthday in any significant way, it will become the latest in a string of family events that have so far failed to repair the Beckham rift. After missing David's pre-birthday celebrations in the Cotswolds and Paris, Brooklyn and Nicola were also absent from his star-studded dinner party at the Michelin-starred west London restaurant. David was joined by some of his closest showbiz pals, including Tom Cruise, Eva Longoria and Guy Ritchie, and was treated to a performance by son Cruz, 20, on his guitar, while Romeo, 22, was tasked with the job of carrying in David's cake. Given that Brooklyn also failed to acknowledge his father's big milestone on any of his social media channels, our source claimed the chances of him 'showing up for Harper' are looking pretty slim. 'A teenage birthday is a big deal for any child and in the past they've always tried to do things together as a family,' said the source. 'Victoria would like nothing more than for Brooklyn to show up to celebrate with them all, but it's not looking likely at all.

Universal's new UK theme park will have four lands as more details emerge
The resort in Bedfordshire is set to open in 2031 following an agreement brokered between the American company, the Government and the local council The hotly anticipated Universal theme park in Bedfordshire will feature four lands and the tallest ride in Europe, it has emerged. More and more details are surfacing about the movie-inspired theme park, which is due to open in 2031 and will be the first Universal park in Europe. When the plans were first confirmed in April this year, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer jubilantly proclaimed: "It's going to put Bedford on the map for millions of people – film lovers, people coming here for fun, people building their careers here." Now, planning documents related to the project reveal that the theme park will have four zones: the Core Zone, Lake Zone, West Gateway Zone, and the East Gateway Zone. The Core Zone is tipped to include the main theme park and a 500-room hotel. The Lake Zone will include a new wetland area and a 2,000-room business hotel, while the East Gateway Zone, is expected to adjoin the planned new Wixams Rail Station. The West Gateway Zone is due to feature an entertainment complex, restaurants, petrol station. The plans describe the theme park as providing guests with the opportunity to 'experience blockbuster attractions, adrenaline-pumping coasters, and mind-blowing spectaculars." It has been rumoured that inspiration for parts of the park could come from Minions, Jaws, and Jurassic Park. However, this has not yet been officially confirmed. Back in April, a source close to the Universal UK project told the BBC that James Bond, Paddington, and The Lord of the Rings are among the brands that could appear at the park. Rides and attractions related to Harry Potter are not expected to be included. Other Universal theme parks feature a variety of themed lands, including: Hollywood, Minion Land, New York, San Francisco, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley, World Expo, Springfield, and DreamWorks Land. Planning documents unveiled this month also show that the UK park could have some of the tallest rides in Europe. The American film production and distribution company is considering building structures reaching up to 377 ft (115 m), including rides. 'The reason for proposing structures up to this maximum height is to allow the proposed theme park to compete with other attractions in Europe,' the proposal said. 'Although the Universal Orlando Resort does not currently have attractions up to this height, taller attractions are more common in Europe, where rides need to be taller to create the experience, as space is more constrained.' Currently, Thorpe Park's Hyperia is the tallest and fastest theme park ride in Britain. It sends thrill-seekers up to 72 m and reaches speeds of 80 mph. Red Force, a 367-foot (112 m) rollercoaster at PortAventura World in Spain, is currently the tallest in Europe. The majority of the park's structures will be between 20 and 30 m tall. 'Building attractions that are higher, rather than over greater areas, also makes the best use of land, which is in line with planning policy,' they added. Sir Keir lauded the landmark Universal deal as a promise of "growth, jobs and of course joy to Britain." By 2055, Universal envisions the 476-acre site near Bedford contributing nearly £50 billion to the economy, with plans for a 500-room hotel and a comprehensive retail and entertainment complex accompanying the theme park.

Brooklyn Beckham ‘feels isolated from family' with feud raging on
Brooklyn Beckham reportedly feels isolated in Los Angeles and his relationship with his family hasn't been the same for months, claims a source. An alleged rift between the 26-year-old and his famous family has been making headlines for weeks with reports of bad blood going back toSir David's 50th birthday bash in May. Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz, 30, failed to show up for the family celebration, despite all of the other Beckham children making an appearance. Amid the ongoing feud,Brooklyn has vowed to 'always choose' Nicola, who he married in 2022, with a seemingly very telling Instagram post. A source has now told Metro that the feud is having a rather big impact on Brooklyn, who is keen to repair this relationship with his parents: 'Brooklyn hasn't felt the same about his family for months. 'It's hard to see any improvement on the relationship between either side, even though Victoria and David are desperate for things to get better.' The source added that with Brooklyn's younger sister's birthday coming up, a reunion could be on the horizon and an opportunity to repair the relationship. 'With Harper's birthday coming up, friends are hoping Brooklyn will reach out on her special day and there will be at least a small olive branch. 'When big family milestones approach, he often feels quite isolated over in Los Angeles, but he's keen to show that he loves his family deeply,' the source added. Brooklyn didn't wish his father, David a happy birthday publicly, but raised eyebrows recently as he wished his father-in-law law happy birthday on social media last week. Posting a picture of Nelson, him, and his wife posing for the camera, Brooklyn wrote: 'Happy birthday, Nelson, we love you.' Nicola is the daughter of billionaire investor Nelson Peltz and former model Claudia Heffner Peltz. The pair have been married for over 30 years and have eight children together, including Nicola. Brooklyn also didn't mark his mother's 51st birthday weeks, or Father's Day and even stayed silent when the news of Sir David's knighthood was announced, events that his siblings made sure to note. Earlier this week, Victoria and David celebrated their 26th wedding anniversary, with David marking the event with an emotional Instagram post about his wife. More Trending '26 years today you said YES to me,' he began in the caption, addressing Victoria. 'Happy Anniversary and thank you for giving me our beautiful children and building the life that we have together. I love you Lady Beckham.' He tagged their four children, including Brooklyn, despite the ongoing fallout. Metro has reached out to Brooklyn Beckham, Victoria Beckham, and David Beckham for comment. Got a story?
