Nicola Peltz makes pointed remarks about family amid fears Brooklyn Beckham risks ruining his 'close bond' with sister Harper by overshadowing her 14th birthday with feud
On Sunday, it was claimed Brooklyn and Nicola's feud with the Beckhams could overshadow Harper's upcoming 14th birthday on July 10.
Sources claimed there was fear Harper could be 'collateral damage' should they fail to acknowledge her birthday celebration as the feud with her parents escalates.
As the reports emerged, Nicola took to Instagram to share a series of photographs in which she gushed over her billionaire father Nelson Peltz and joked that her Labubu dolls were her family.
She shared a snap of the coveted Pop Mart dolls in a row, captioning the snap: 'our little family', before posting another snap of one of the dolls, writing: 'my mom just gets it.'
Nicola also shared a selfie on a yacht before rounding off her posts with a snap hugging her father that she captioned: 'i love you so much dad'.
Nicola's posts come amid fears Brooklyn and Nicola will fail to acknowledge Harper's birthday on Thursday.
Amid his escalating feud with his family, the pair failed to publicly acknowledge David's milestone 50th birthday on May 8.
David and Victoria's 26th wedding anniversary also passed without mention, despite the former Manchester United and England footballer referencing Brooklyn in his own post.
And sources fear Harper could be 'collateral damage' should they fail to acknowledge her birthday celebration as the feud with her parents escalates.
An insider told The Mirror: 'Harper's been particularly affected by what's going on because she's always been really close to Brooklyn.
'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.'
David previously thanked wife Victoria for their 'beautiful children' as the couple both acknowledged estranged son Brooklyn while celebrating their 26th wedding anniversary on July 4.
The former footballer who also shares sons Romeo, 20, and Cruz, 22 with the ex Spice Girl, 51, shared a series of throwback snaps of the family in happier times.
Declaring his love for Victoria, who he referred to as Lady Beckham following his Knighthood, he wrote: '26 years today you said YES to me Happy Anniversary and thank you for giving me our beautiful children and building the life that we have together.'
He went on to tag his children including estranged son Brooklyn.
Victoria, 51, also tagged her eldest son, captioning her post: 'Another year, another chapter in our love story.
'I'm so proud of the beautiful family and life we've built together. You and our four incredible children complete me. I love you so much @davidbeckham. Here's to 26 years!!'
Despite the apparent olive branch, insider believe Brooklyn will not be in attendance when Harper turns thirteen on Thursday.
The source added: 'He took a stand and missed his dad's 50th so he's not likely to suddenly do a U-turn and forget everything that's happened, as much as he loves Harper.
'But if he did, it could a much-needed olive branch to start repairing things. An end to the family drama would be the best birthday present Harper – and her parents – could ask for.'
MailOnline has contacted a representative for further comment.
Rumours of a rift between the eldest son and his parents began when Brooklyn was noticeably silent on his former Spice Girl mother's birthday, a far cry from his usual sweet posts about her.
Neither the former photographer nor his wife wished Victoria a happy 51st, while David, Romeo and Cruz posted gushing messages.
And as well as snubbing dad David's birthday online, he also was notably absent from all of his 50th birthday celebrations - including a boys' fishing trip.
Despite flying to London at the time, Brooklyn and Nicola also didn't attend the big family party at the Beckhams' Cotswolds home or an idyllic trip to France or a meal at Notting Hill restaurant, Core.
Brooklyn reportedly 'told his famous family that he wants no contact' with them last month in the latest devastating turn of their ongoing feud.
While a source close to Brooklyn denied the claims, a source told Page Six: 'Brooklyn told his family he wants no contact and he's not responding to those that try to connect.'
According to the publication, the eldest Beckham boy has had no communication with his family following father David's knighthood being announced last month and only learned of the news in the media alongside the rest of the world.
Denying he'd asked for no contact, a source close to Brooklyn told the publication: 'Everyone's focus should be David Beckham 's great honour'.
Meanwhile a source close to Brooklyn also denied the claims as they told MailOnline, 'this seems to be another deliberate attempt to misrepresent the truth, and it only serves to distract from this honor being bestowed on Brooklyn's father.'

The young Oscar Wilde's Russian revolutionary drama reveals a playwright divided
Who wrote the following: 'When private property is abolished, there will be no necessity for crime'? In one of his plays the same writer has a female revolutionary cry: 'How easy is it for a king to kill his people by thousands but we cannot rid ourselves of one crowned man in Europe.' If I reveal that the writer was a London-based Irishman, most people would assume it was Bernard Shaw. In fact, it was Oscar Wilde and, while the first quote comes from his essay The Soul of Man Under Socialism, the last is from his play Vera; or, The Nihilists which is to get a rare professional production at the Brockley Jack Studio theatre, south-east London, in September. The play itself is virtually unknown even to Wildean devotees. It was written in 1879 and loosely based on the story of a 22-year-old Russian revolutionary who had attempted to shoot the St Petersburg chief of police. Wilde's version is set in Moscow but his heroine, Vera Sabouroff, has a similar political ardour and leads a band of nihilists who plan to assassinate the tsar. That is only the starting-point for a robustly noisy melodrama that was intended for London production in 1881. But the actual assassination of Tsar Alexander II in March of that year and the fact that the Prince of Wales was married to the sister of the new tsarina killed it stone dead. When it was eventually produced in New York in 1883, it was greeted with sneery disdain and, aside from the odd amateur revival, has lain buried ever since. Yet, for all its obvious faults, the play has several points of interest and one is what it reveals about Wilde's own divided nature. We tend to think of that division in terms of his sexuality but there is a comparable split between his radical and aesthetic selves. The two achieve a perfect reconciliation in The Importance of Being Earnest which offers a running commentary on class, money, marriage, morals and the state of society while being an exquisite comic creation. But in an early work like Vera there is a deep, unhealed division between the earnest and the epigrammatic. The play is packed with diatribes against despotism and full of rhetorical hymns to liberty: at one point Vera apostrophises the concept as: 'O mighty mother of eternal time, thy robe is purple with the blood of those who have died for thee.' But the play's most intriguing character is Prince Paul, the Russian prime minister, tsarist apologist and devious word-spinner. He talks throughout in chiselled phrases such as 'Experience, the name men give to their mistakes,' and suggests that there is a link between making a good salad and being a brilliant diplomat: the art in both cases is 'to know exactly how much oil one must put with one's vinegar'. He is the prototype of Lord Henry Wotton in The Picture of Dorian Gray and all those languid aristocrats who pepper Wilde's society dramas with their potted witticisms. On the one hand, Wilde celebrates revolutionary ardour: on the other, a dandified cynic who claims 'life is much too important a thing ever to talk seriously about it'. But this conflict between ethics and aesthetics is not peculiar to Wilde. In 1885, Henry James pursued a similar bifurcation, admittedly with far more subtlety, in his novel The Princess Casamassima. Its hero, Hyacinth Robinson, is the illegitimate son of an English aristocrat and a French working-woman and his life is as divided as his name suggests. Through his meeting with the titular princess, he acquires a taste for the trappings of privilege. But he also has a passion for social justice that leads him to join a band of political conspirators very like those in Vera and to accept the duty of assassination. James had no great sympathy for Wilde, and in 1895 shamefully refused to sign a petition calling for mitigation of his prison sentence. Yet the two writers had more in common than one suspects and in The Princess Casamassima you find a strange echo of the dilemma posed by Vera: how do you reconcile the desire to change the world with a delight in its culture; or, to put it more simply, how do you achieve a perfect balance between socialism and style? Vera; or, The Nihilists is at Brockley Jack Studio theatre, London, 16-27 September.

BREAKING NEWS Charges dropped against actor arrested on set of hit TV show Rivals
Charges have been dropped against an actor who was arrested while filming on the set of Rivals. Nigel Adams, 45, was arrested by Avon and Somerset Police at Berkeley Castle in Gloucestershire on June 4. He was later charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm against his long-term partner Louise Payne in an incident on March 31 of this year. Mr Adams and Ms Payne attended Bristol Crown Court on Monday morning for a plea and trial preparation hearing. The actor, from Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, pleaded not guilty to the charge. Christine Hart, prosecuting, said she would be offering no evidence against Mr Adams. Ms Hart said: 'Subsequent to the case being charged, there is a statement by Ms Payne. 'She is here at court today, she sits in the public gallery. 'She has made it clear she didn't wish to proceed with the case. I have spoken to her at length, as has the officer in charge. 'Taking into account the evidence already in the case and that statement, the only option I have is to offer no evidence on the outstanding count.' Judge William Hart told the court he would formally enter a not-guilty verdict in the case. The judge told Mr Adams: 'A not-guilty verdict, you are free to leave, thank you.' Mr Adams was arrested by officers from Avon and Somerset Police who attended the set of the Disney+ show in Gloucestershire on June 4. Rivals, starring David Tennant, Danny Dyer and Emily Atack, is based on the Dmae Jilly Cooper novel of the same name. Speaking outside court, Mr Adams and Ms Payne told the PA news agency they were grateful the case had been dropped. Mr Adams, describing his arrest, said: 'They turned up on set and nicked me like I was a wanted man on the run. 'Now I can get back with my agent and get back on Rivals, hopefully. I still have the costume.' He added: 'I'm grateful everything has been sorted. We just want to get on with our lives.' Mr Adams and Ms Payne have been engaged for seven years and are now looking forward to getting married. Ms Payne said: 'I didn't want to press charges from the beginning. I had to come to court to say I didn't want to go ahead with it. I'm happy it's all sorted.'
