Victoria Beckham gushes over ‘stud’ husband David as he plays peacemaker in feud with daughter in law Nicola Peltz
VICTORIA Beckham has gushed over “stud” husband David amid his apparent role as peacemaker in her escalating feud with daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz.
Their spat shows no sign of abating after the actress broke her silence in a new interview where Nicola, 27, suggests the designer reneged on a promise to create her wedding gown.
Nicola married Victoria and David Beckham’s eldest, Brooklyn Beckham, 23, in a celeb-packed wedding in Miami in April.
Since then, relations appear to have cooled between the actress and her Spice Girl mother-in-law and the pair have stopped taking vacations together and liking each other’s posts on Instagram.
We previously reported how their relationship has reached a low point after the US actress accused Who Do You Think You Are singer Victoria, 48, of “ghosting” her.
The Sun exclusively revealed their escalating tensions – and how Victoria has been left “seething.”

Yet she appeared to put that to one side in favour of a slushy post directed towards her footballer spouse.
Alongside a video marking 30 years since his Manchester United debut, she cooed: “30 years since this stud came on the scene!!”
She followed with a fresh-faced video promoting her latest lip tint, but pointedly failed to mention her family drama.
Earlier in the day, in what could have been a sly dig at actress Nicola, Victoria additionally posted snaps of Lily James and Suki Waterhouse looking stunning in her fashion designs.

In putting her business hat on and staying silent, Victoria appears to be signalling just what she thinks of Nicola’s claims.
This comes as a stark contrast to Nicola who, although she sported a canary yellow Victoria Beckham dress to announce her engagement, has fuelled rumours about the designer since.
We reported how Nicola told Grazia US: “I was planning on wearing Victoria’s wedding dress and I was truly so excited to be able to wear a design that my future mother-in-law created.
“I thought that was so beautiful and such a beautiful story.”
She told the publication her close friend Leslie Fremar and mother Claudia were also helping to design the once in a lifetime gown.
Nicola said of the process: “A few days went by and I didn’t hear anything.
“Victoria called my mum and said her atelier couldn’t make it. So, I spoke to my mum and Leslie, and I was like, ‘Well, unfortunately, this can’t happen, so what’s the next step?’
“I’ve been a fan of Valentino and their couture for so long. I was really lucky to be able to travel to try on the dress.”
She finalised her side of the story by insisting: “That’s really what happened.”
After reading this latest slight in the American version of Grazia magazine, Victoria is said to be “utterly seething”.
The truth, insists a fashion insider, is that the pair did have discussions about a dress, but very early on Victoria realised it would be too much for her atelier — and politely explained she could not make it.
Valentino, which Nicola subsequently wore, was suggested “in plenty of time”.
David, the voice of reason in the Beckham household, has been dutifully trying to pacify his wife.
But he, too, is deeply hurt by the increasing gulf in the couple’s relationship with their beloved son, whom they nickname “Buster”.
A source told us: “Frankly, the most interesting thing about Nicola is that she married into the Beckham clan.
“David and Victoria have both reached out to her to try and make peace, and find a way to get along.
“There appears to be this baffling false narrative being peddled out by Nicola about this bloody dress.
“Victoria is bemused as to why she keeps stoking the rumours of a feud instead of shutting them down.
Since Brooklyn, an aspiring chef, tied the knot with Transformers actress Nicola in April, relations between the two families have taken a downturn.
They have not been seen out together since an evening in Italy in July, while Brooklyn and Nicola declined the Beckhams’ invitation to spend the summer on board their new £5million yacht.

Instead, the loved-up couple — who were teased during the wedding speeches about their gratuitous PDAs — opted to spend the holidays on the Peltz superyacht.
He chipped in to his wife’s cover interview, explaining: “My wife is obviously my first priority and I never want to see her upset ever.”
