Nepo Babies Will Peltz and Kenya Kinski-Jones Announce Engagement
Two young celebrities known for their lineage in iconic American families announced their engagement on Tuesday after more than a decade of dating. Will Peltz, the son of billionaire investor and food company mogul Nelson Peltz, first started dating Kenya Kinski-Jones—the youngest child of legendary musician Quincy Jones—in late 2011. On Tuesday, Kinski-Jones posted a photo on Instagram of the couple embracing, captioned 'JUST ENGAGED. My whole heart for my whole life.' By tying the knot, the heir and heiress will link together two sprawling families, each loaded with celebrity connections. Nelson Peltz built a food service empire from the ground up, starting as a delivery driver and eventually growing his grandfather's food distribution business into a $830 million behemoth. Peltz has 10 children, including eight with Will's mother Claudia Heffer. Will is an actor who has appeared in movies including Unfriended and Men, Women & Children as well as the TV series Manifest. He also had a role in the music video for Khalid's hit song 'Young Dumb & Broke.' He isn't the only member of the Peltz family to marry into another prominent clan: his sister, actress Nicola Peltz, married Brooklyn Beckham in 2020. Beckham is the son of legendary English footballer David Beckham and former Spice Girls member Victoria Beckham. Both Nicola and Will Peltz gravitated toward careers in film, with the active assistance of their father. In 2010, when Nicola starred as Katara in the widely-panned film The Last Airbender, it was rumored that she was cast due to pressure from her father on director M. Night Shyamalan. Nelson Peltz unsuccessfully tried to gain a board seat at Disney in 2024. Meanwhile, Kinski-Jones—a model who has appeared in Vogue and Glamour—comes from a line of German actors on one side and a groundbreaking musician on the other side. Her mother, actress Nastassja Kinski, dated Quincy Jones from 1991 to 1995. Jones won an astounding 28 Grammy Awards during his career, gaining acclaim for both his solo work and his collaborations with Count Basie, Frank Sinatra, and Michael Jackson. Quincy Jones had seven children, with Kinski-Jones being the youngest. Rashida Jones, the actress of Parks and Recreation fame and Kinski-Jones's half-sister, is the second daughter of Jones and actress Peggy Lipton. In an interview last year with The New Yorker, she described the sometimes-bizarre experiences she had growing up in the Quincy Jones household, including being bit on the hand by Michael Jackson's monkey Bubbles—perhaps a window into what Kinski-Jones's childhood may have looked like. Quincy Jones died in November of last year, and his presence will certainly be missed at the Peltz-Jones wedding. Between Peltz's nine siblings and Kinski-Jones' six siblings, however, there should be plenty of fanfare when the two actually tie the knot.

Nicola Peltz continues to post about her close family bonds during boat trip with husband Brooklyn as his feud with his parents rumbles on - before giving fans a glimpse of their bedroom antics
Nicola Peltz risked upsetting husband Brooklyn Beckham 's family in a series of gushing Instagram posts about her brothers on Monday. The actress, 30, continued to publicly praise and share admiration for her billionaire family on social media amid her husband's family feud. She boasted about her brothers Brad, 35, and Zach, 18, and the rest of the Peltz-clan before sharing Brooklyn's romantic gesture. Nicola's brothers include businessman Matthew, 37, Will, 36, former ice hockey player Darren (known as Diesel), 27 and twins Zachary and Gregory, 18. She also has a 31-year-old sister called Brittany, who is a children's clothes designer. The eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham, 26, surprised Nicola with a romantic candle-lit bedroom and fairy lights spread across their bed. Gushing over Brooklyn following his extravagant act of service, she captioned the post: '@brooklynpeltzbeckham you're my world'. Nicola shared a video of Zach, writing: 'I love annoying you', before sharing an image of a flower gifted by brother Bradley across the caption: 'I love you @bradleygpeltz thank you for my flower it's the little things in life that are the big things.' While Nicola revels in her happy life with her family, Brooklyn risks ruining his 'close bond' with sister Harper by overshadowing her 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'. 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. She boasted about her brothers Brad, 35, and Zach, 18, and the rest of the Peltz-clan before sharing Brooklyn's romantic gesture Nicola shared a video of Zach, writing: 'I love annoying you', before sharing an image of a flower gifted by brother Bradley across the caption: 'I love you @bradleygpeltz thank you for my flower it's the little things in life that are the big things' David promoted his latest BOSS campaign on Tuesday amid the feud as he posed on a motorbike in a recent shoot 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 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 14 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 contacted a representative for further comment at the time. 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. 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.'

Nicola Peltz hits back after she's accused of ‘controlling' Brooklyn Beckham in family feud
NICOLA Peltz has hit back after she was accused of "controlling" husband Brooklyn Beckham, as the family feud continues. It comes after the couple attended a birthday celebration for Nicola's dad, after appearing to distance themselves from Brooklyn's family. 6 6 6 6 Rumours about a feud with the Beckham clan and Nicola, 30, have circulated since her £3million wedding to Brooklyn, 26, in Florida. Since then, the alleged clash has intensified after Brooklyn snubbed all four parties that were thrown for his ex-footballer dad David to celebrate his birthday. Further upset was caused when photos were shared showing Brooklyn enjoying a party for his father-in-law, Nelson Peltz's birthday. Photos from the Peltz family party were shared on Instagram by Nicola yesterday. She wrote how "lucky" she was to be his daughter before adding that he provided them with "constant love and support". The post received some backlash from Beckham supporters, with some accusing Nicola of "controlling her husband. However, there were also supportive messages, with one fan writing: "The fact people are in this comment section talking bs about someone controlling a GROWN man is absurd. "The guy is an adult and can make his own decisions, leave them be and stop blaming women for everything." Nicola then was seen "liking" the comment, as she agreed with what the fan was saying. It comes as Brooklyn was recently backed by his godfather Sir Elton John and his husband David Furnish, after he posted a photo with wife Nicola last week. Peltz-Beckham's respond to reports of family feud Elton wrote: 'Happy Anniversary to the sweetest, most loving couple,' followed by love hearts, and his husband David added his own comment, which read: 'Happy Anniversary to the gorgeous couple.' Elton is Brooklyn's godfather and they're very close, regularly going on trips abroad together over the years. Both Victoria and David failed to comment on or like their son's anniversary post. It was recently revealed that the situation has become so severe that Brooklyn is no longer on speaking terms with his siblings. According to The Mail, his family - which include Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20 - refer to the aspiring chef as 'The Hostage'. 6 6

Brooklyn Beckham hits out again in family feud with tribute to wife Nicola's dad – as godfather Elton John backs him
BROOKLYN Beckham has hit out again in his family feud, with a tribute to wife Nicola's dad - as his famous godfather backs him on social media. The son of David and Victoria Beckham has hit the headlines recently, after a distancing from his family. 6 6 6 Rumours about a feud with the Beckham clan and Nicola Peltz, 30, have circulated since her £3million wedding to Brooklyn, 26, in Florida. Since then, the alleged clash has intensified as Brooklyn snubbed all four parties that were thrown for his ex-footballer dad David to celebrate his birthday. But Brooklyn appears to have hit out on social media as, despite snubbing his dad's birthday, he shared a photo of Nicola's dad and wished him a happy birthday. Hot sauce company owner Brooklyn shared a photo of himself, Nicola and her father Nelson. Nicola could be seen with her arms draped around Nelson's shoulders, while Brooklyn stood in the background. He wrote: 'Happy birthday Nelson x we love you,' followed by a heart emoji. Brooklyn has also been backed by his godfather Sir Elton John and his husband David Furnish, after he posted a photo with wife Nicola Peltz on Monday. Elton wrote: 'Happy Anniversary to the sweetest, most loving couple,' followed by love hearts, and his husband David added his own comment, which read: 'Happy Anniversary to the gorgeous couple.' Elton is the godfather of the Beckhams' eldest son Brooklyn, and they're very close, regularly going on trips abroad together over the years. Both Victoria and David Beckham failed to comment on or like their son's anniversary post. Brooklyn Beckham's family rift deepens as he turns back on UK by splashing out £11m on LA mansion with wife Nicola Peltz It was recently revealed that the situation has become so severe that Brooklyn is no longer on speaking terms with his siblings. According to The Mail, his family - which include Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, - refer to the aspiring chef as 'The Hostage'. It's also been reported that the former amateur photographer failed to even congratulate his dad after news emerged of his knighthood. Brooklyn appeared to previously take a swipe at his family on Instagram when he posted a video with his wife. What do David Beckham's tattoos mean? Hands Starting with the hands, and David Beckham has the word "Love" inked across the top of his left hand, with a swallow on either side. This is joined by the numbers 723, a combination of the shirts he famously wore for Manchester United and later Real Madrid. On his little finger, he has the year he was married. Becks also has a small female-stick figure designed by his daughter Harper. The devoted husband has "Posh' tattooed on a finger as a nod to wife Victoria Beckham 's Spice Girls nickname. Arms Becks has two sleeve tattoos on both his arms with the centrepieces paying tribute to his marriage to Victoria. The most famous of his body art comes in the shape of her name along the inside of his forearm, which is inked in Sanskrit. Both Posh and Becks have Hebrew tattoos, which they got to celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary. The matching tatts translate to, "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine". Meanwhile, Becks also has a separate rose inking on his left arm to mark the couple's tenth anniversary. Neck One of Beckham's most famous tattoos is on his neck, which is a gothic style cross and wings. It is symbolic of to his religion and acts as a protective guardian of his son Romeo, whose name is tattooed just below the angel wings. Beckham also has the name of his daughter, Harper, on the side of his neck. This was later updated to include the words "Pretty Lady", to mark her fourth birthday. Back Beckham's back tattoos serve as tribute to his sons. He has angel wings at the top as a sign of protection for them. Becks has both his eldest on Brooklyn, and his youngest son Cruz 's names inked across his back. Body Beckham has a large chest tattoo that is an image of himself as Jesus, with three cherubs representing his sons, Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz. The footy ace also has a vertical tattoo down his left side in Chinese symbols - this translates as 'Death and life have determined appointments". Paying homage to his father, he has an inking of a ship at full mast - which is identical to the same one his dad has. Emphasising his 'choice' to stick by his wife, the caption read: "My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you're the most amazing person i know xx me and you forever baby." The outlet also stated that Brooklyn now spends most of his evenings alone with his wife. His evenings consist of activities such as watching TV together by the fire as well as running her a bath. This is a far cry from his former party lifestyle where he was seen with the likes of Jack Ramsay - son of TV chef Gordon Ramsay. He also used to have a close bond with Anais Gallagher, 25, who is the daughter of Oasis frontman Noel Gallagher. Brooklyn's feud with his brother reportedly stems from a falling out between Nicola, and Kim Turnbull, 24, who was in a relationship with Brooklyn's younger sibling, Romeo, 22. 6 6 6

Key to toxic rift between Beckham and Peltz camps finally REVEALED – and why David & Victoria fear Brooklyn is ‘trapped'
THE Bank of Mum and Dad is a bone of contention for many a Boomer and Generation X-er – just ask David and Victoria Beckham. After months of heartbreaking animosity between Brooklyn and his parents, money — I'm told — has long caused a fractious divide between his own family and his bride's. 10 10 News of Posh and Becks' eldest son 'buying' a £11million Hollywood mansion with wife Nicola Peltz has brought tensions simmering, once again, to the surface. Because I can reveal that Brooklyn does not entirely own the swanky five-bed, six-bathroom pad overlooking the magnificent Pacific Ocean. Largely Nicola — the daughter of a billionaire — does. According to concerned friends of David and Victoria, this leaves Brooklyn 'trapped', as does a forensic pre-nup which, again, was drawn up to secure the Peltz family 's enormous wealth — a fortune that relatively dwarves the Beckhams'. But, as ever in this ongoing row, there are counter-arguments from both sides. Incredibly, the Peltzes accuse the Beckhams of being 'tight' and not amply providing for their beloved son. A source tells me: 'Money, so the saying goes, is the root of all evil. 'Certainly, in the case of the Beckhams vs Peltzes, it's proven... tricksy. David and Victoria are two working-class kids done good. 'They have grafted hard for their money and understand that with privilege comes responsibility. 'On principle, they will not needlessly spoil their kids and have taught them the value of both industry and money. They're like Gordon and Tana Ramsay in that regard. 'Honourable intentions' 'So, when it came to buying this house, of course they weren't just going to hand their son millions of pounds — what sort of message does that send? Brooklyn Beckham's family rift deepens as he turns back on UK by splashing out £11m on LA mansion with wife Nicola Peltz ' Nelson Peltz, on the other hand, is a billionaire investor and he and his wife Claudia regard Nicola, their little girl, as the apple of their eye. 'Understandably, they want to indulge her and ensure she never struggles — they expected the Beckhams, worth half a billion themselves, might match them penny for penny. Or, at least, chip in with financials as and when. 'That hasn't always happened, so they are annoyed and telling people it's a bit tight, which would utterly enrage David and Vic if they knew. 'They claim the Beckhams effectively cut off their kids financially when they turn 18.' Such an accusation would doubtless enrage Team DVB. Indeed, it does. It is, I am told, 'nonsense'. A friend hits back: 'To be crystal clear, David and Victoria will always support Brooklyn if and when he needs it. "When he was setting up on his own, they would regularly help him out — as parents do — but they won't spoil him. They still help all their grown-up kids.' Brooklyn and Nicola's new home was largely paid for using her trust fund money — but, as the 'settlor', or creator, of the fund. Nelson had to sign off the release of any money. Pals insist both Brooklyn and Nicola also put in their work savings, and have 'been saving for years'. It is not known how much they contributed themselves Nicola's camp, meanwhile, insists this house has 'nothing to do with family dynamics'. And they say that for Brooklyn — who spent much of his childhood in California while his dad David played for LA Galaxy — 'LA has always felt like home'. However, another source says the new pad was actually the couple's second house purchase. Nelson was adamant first time around that the young couple must 'both only buy a house they can afford'. They ended up selling the initial property. So this, then, is their first proper home together and will doubtless be a place they hope to one day raise a family. Although, not for now, according to one of Nicola's pals, who says she recently started work on a new film and is currently on location shooting. That movie, I'm told, co-stars little- known English socialite Jazzy de Lisser, and has a £1.2million budget. It is described as 'art house' and 'lets Nicola show off her acting mettle.' Sadly, the positive PR surrounding Nicola's last film, 2024's Lola, seems a world away. The glitzy red carpet premiere in Los Angeles was attended by Victoria, as well as Brooklyn's brothers, Romeo and Cruz. (David was away working at the time and Harper was at school). Today, ex- Spice Girl VB would sooner get on stage to belt out Wannabe a cappella than support one of Nicola's projects. The new purchase for the Peltz-Beckhams (the throughly modern couple sweetly wanted to take each other's surnames) comes three years after their lavish £3.5million wedding. The ceremony was held within the grounds of the Peltzes' stunning Floridian family estate. They are understood to have largely paid for the event — as is custom. The Beckhams, however, offered the services of pal Marc Anthony as a superstar wedding singer, and bought the couple a vintage Jaguar as a gift. In the weeks leading up to the divisive nuptials — more on these later — Brooklyn, 26, reportedly signed the 'mother of all pre-nups '. Not surprisingly, canny Nelson — with whom Brooklyn is extremely close — ensured that, in the unlikely case of divorce, his family assets would be protected. 'Pre-nups are standard practice Stateside,' says someone familiar with the Peltz-Beckham contract. 'Especially if you're a billionaire. 'To be honest, the Beckhams were very relaxed about it all. To be frank, it was entirely unexpected — and very welcome — for Brooklyn to have met someone who comes from more wealth than him. It was entirely unexpected — and very welcome — for Brooklyn to have met someone who comes from more wealth than him 'They felt Nicola's intentions were entirely honourable, and the paperwork effectively made sure that what both parties put into the marriage, they would take back out. 'It wasn't a problematic moment.' While not 'problematic', it does mean Brooklyn must keep earning. A kept man, he is not. 10 10 'Brooklyn's influencer work is lucrative, and he has his Cloud 23 (hot sauce brand), which is beginning to do pretty well,' says a pal. 'He certainly contributes a lot financially to the marriage and, of course, Nicola is savvy and keen to make them a brand in their own right as a couple. "You'll notice all their recent red carpet appearances have been together, and they very much seem to come as a pair at the moment.' Case in point, their recent Glamour Germany front cover, a special 'Love Rules' edition for the digital mag. The highly tactile pair gave a touching interview, talking about their early days of courting. Came to a head Brooklyn said of his wife: 'You should marry your best friend. Someone who feels like home. For me, that's Nicola.' He also revealed his 'strict' parents banned him from getting a tattoo until the day he turned 18, while Nicola, 30, who is Jewish, said her first inking read 'family first' in Yiddish. Brooklyn's first tattoo, of course, was a tribute to his once-beloved dad. How sad, then, to see things turn out this way. In the same interview, the couple recalled their emotional wedding day — a day that has since proffered, as the late Queen might have said, 'very differing recollections'. In fact, it was recently claimed that Nicola cried on her wedding day after Victoria 'hijacked' the first dance. The Beckhams have furiously denied this, livid at the suggestion Victoria would deliberately upset her daughter-in-law. There is, though, a wedding video of the entire day which, I'm told, Nicola and Brooklyn have in their possession. They could, then, clear up any mistruths once and for all, if and when they want to. To recap, Brooklyn has not spoken meaningfully to his parents in seven months. Tensions came to a head last month when Brooklyn failed to attend former England star David's 50th birthday celebrations, despite him being in the UK that week. His friends claim he tried to meet his dad for a private coffee, but was rebuffed. The pair's last communication is understood to have been a 'happy birthday' text. While pals blame the fallout on younger brother Romeo's romance with DJ Kim Turnbull — which she has denied — the Beckhams point the finger of blame solely at Nicola. In truth, there has never been much love lost there — bar a brief detente around 18 months ago — and they accuse her of driving a wedge between Brooklyn and his once-inseparable family. At the same time, Brooklyn has developed a deep bond with the actress's own family — regularly praising them on Instagram and spending 'happy' time with them at their home. However, David's pals believe Father's Day on Sunday may have 'offered up some hope' — because Brooklyn did not use the occasion to praise his father-in-law. 'That would have been an utterly devastating kick in the teeth,' I'm told. OK, he didn't post a tribute to David, but he also didn't do one for Nelson. It's a tiny, silly thing, really — but everyone is hopeful it's an olive branch of sorts. 'It's all very messy but, at the end of the day, these are two loving families, albeit with very different views and core beliefs, who just want the best for their kids. 'There is no right or wrong, and it's heartbreaking for everyone involved. 'Ultimately, all anyone wants is for Brooklyn and Nicola to be happy, and for some sort of wider truce. It just takes someone to make the first move.'
