How Nicola Peltz Really Felt About Harper Before Brooklyn’s Sister Seemingly Sided With Cruz & Romeo
Everyone’s picking sides in the Beckham family drama. Or, at least, everyone’s kinda been forced to choose one way or another by circumstances. And that apparently includes Harper, David and Victoria’s youngest kid, who is only 14. Though at 14, what side can you really pick but that of your parents?
Now, with the relationship between Brooklyn, Nicola and Brooklyn’s parents at seemingly its worst moment, an old interview of Nicola Peltz talking about Harper has resurfaced. In a post-wedding interview with The Times in October 2022, Nicola spoke warmly of Harper, but according to the journalist who did the interview, the tensions with the Beckhams were already apparent then.

Polly Barton wrote in a new op-ed for Grazia, “I was struck by Nicola’s borderline inability to speak either David or Victoria’s names,” adding that she referred to them as ‘Brooklyn’s mom’ or ‘dad’.” However, the same wasn’t true of Brooklyn’s little sister. “By contrast, she spoke easily, directly and fondly of Harper.”
At the time, Nicola said “I wanted a little sister so bad, and Harper is the sweetest,” and “I have the coolest little sister. She sends me snapchats.”
While promoting her directorial debut in 2024, Nicola told People Harper was “my dream little sister,” adding, “If I could create the perfect dream little sister, it’s her,” she said. “I’m so blessed I get to have her as my little sister in my life.”
Even last years, as rumors started circulating that Brooklyn and his family were having issues, the couple posted a tribute to Harper for her birthday. “Happy Birthday Harper we love u x,” Beckham’s caption read, alongside a photo of the couple smiling with his sister.
Back then The Sun reported that was solely about Brooklyn and Nicola’s relationship with Harper. “He wanted to put out a message on social media for her to show this bond still exists,” a source said. “He wanted this to be about Harper and he wanted to show people how much he and Nicola care about her.”
What the relationship is like these days is not known, but Harper recently stepped out with her family in what was seen as a gesture of support for her mother, Victoria Beckham. And she did post on Instagram to support her brother Romeo, who walked Paris Fashion Week for designer Willy Chavarria. In an Instagram story, she wrote: “Yet again!! Another amazing show x @romeobeckham @willychavarria.” Both Romeo and David reposted her story.
This comes after Brooklyn called out his brothers Romeo and Cruz on his Instagram Stories, but made no mention of his sister Harper. “For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family,” he wrote. “The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into. Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.”
