Nicola Peltz’s dad says he’s given couple advice as he breaks silence on Brooklyn Beckham feud: ‘Whole other story’
Nelson Peltz has finally spoken out about the feud between his son-in-law, Brooklyn Beckham, and his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, which reached a boiling point on January 19. Brooklyn shared a series of Instagram stories in January detailing the years-long family feud, claiming that it began before his wedding to Nicola Peltz, Nelson’s daughter, and only soured from there.
While the Beckham family have yet to make a statement about their son’s comments, Nelson broke his silence at the WSJD’s Invest Live in West Palm Beach event on Tuesday.
“I’ll tell you my daughter is great, my son-in-law, Brooklyn, is great, and I look forward to them having a long, happy marriage together.” When asked if he ever gave the young couple advice on navigating tough times, he confirmed: “I do. Sometimes they give me advice.”
Nelson is a founding partner of hedge fund management firm Trian Fund, and also works as the non-executive chairman of Wendy’s Company, Sysco and The Madison Square Garden Company.
The father of eight recently came under the microscope when journalist Marina Hyde claimed that he gave Nicola a $1 million monthly allowance, which was quickly refuted.
“From what I hear, I think the Beckhams give Brooklyn a lot of money but not insane money, and they have this dream to some degree that he will stand on his own two feet and become independent,” Marina said on The Rest Is Entertainment podcast.
