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.

Online Love Island USA's Cierra Ortega Breaks Silence on Exit Over Racial Slur Camp Mystic Survivor, 13, Details "Hysterical" Scene During Texas Flood Kate Middleton's Personal Assistant of 15 Years Exits Palace In fact, less than two months before the proposal, Kenya described Will as "my love" and "my best friend" to ring in his 39th birthday. "Wishing you, always, the most beautiful year in the sunshine," she continued in a May 30 Instagram. "May goodness, joy & magic fill every corner of your life. I love this day & I love you from the very deepest place in my heart." And Will echoed that sentiment when Kenya turned 32 back in February, referring to her as "my wonderful person." "May your day be filled with joy, love, and all the amazing things you deserve," he added in an Instagram at the time, alongside a photo of the pair sharing a sweet kiss. "Here's to celebrating you and all the happiness you bring into my life."

However, his daughter will still have a piece of him with her on her big day. As Kenya—whose mother is Nastassja Kinski—put it in a Father's Day tribute to the legendary music producer back in June, "I am filled with eternal love and gratitude for you, Dad."

Brooklyn Beckham parties with Nicola Peltz and her brother for his birthday after snubbing dad David's 50th
BROOKLYN Beckham has been seen partying with Nicola Peltz and her brother for his birthday after snubbing dad David's 50th. Actress Nicola, 30, has today posted a series of snaps from her brother's birthday celebrations that recently took place. 10 10 10 10 10 The snaps come one week week after Brooklyn wished Will Peltz a happy birthday. The couple have been vocal about Nicola's brother's birthday despite snubbing Brooklyn's dad David's milestone 50th celebrations. Sharing snaps from Will's birthday, Brooklyn and Nicola could be seen standing either side of her brother. Beaming and having fun, the pair looked to be enjoying themselves. In the caption of the snaps, Nicola said: "We all love celebrating you Willy. @willpeltz i love you so much." The snaps Nicola shared were professional photos, with other pictures from the night showing the pair walking hand-in-hand. The couple, along with Nicola's brother Will and other partygoers, spent the night at famed venue On the Rox. They all partied late into the night at the LA venue. The couple, who got hitched in April 2022, were notable absentees from Brooklyn's dad David Beckham 's recent birthday bash last month. David had a star-studded birthday bash in May, which was attended by many famous faces. Brooklyn's siblings Romeo, Cruz and Harper all turned out to party with their dad and mum. Not only were the Beckham siblings in attendance - bar one, but several famous names like Tom Cruise and Guy Ritchie were also there. Despite the bash being star-studded and attended by the Beckham family, the eldest Beckham child was nowhere to be seen. Nicola and Brooklyn's absence fuelled the rumours of a family rift. This all comes as billionaire heiress, Nicola recently faced accusations of 'controlling' her husband Brooklyn. Brooklyn previously fell out with his parents shortly after his marriage to Nicola. Yet with the fresh clash in full swing, experts told The Sun how the eldest of the Beckham clan has chosen his wife over his family. Amid the allegations over her conduct, a source previously said of the star: "She is creating conflict where there is none and divides are springing up left, right and centre." Though, at the start of the week, Nicola's pals hit back. One told The Mirror: "She is not isolating him [Brooklyn] at all. "He is free to do what he wants and he loves his wife and they are happy together. "They are each other's family.' 10 10 10 10 10
