Brooklyn Beckham ‘so happy’ as he celebrates major Nicola Peltz family milestone amid David and Victoria snubs
Brooklyn Beckham has shared his joy at the engagement of his brother-in-law Will Peltz to Kenya Kinski-Jones, daughter of the late record producer Quincy Jones, whilst holidaying with his wife’s family in Saint-Tropez.
The 26-year-old photographer and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, are currently aboard a yacht in the French Riviera with her parents, Nelson Peltz, 83, and Claudia Peltz, 70, along with several of her siblings.
Will Peltz, 39, and model Kenya, 32, announced their engagement on Instagram with a photograph of themselves kissing, captioning it: “JUST ENGAGED. My whole heart for my whole life.”
The engagement news emerged as Brooklyn continues to grow closer to his wife’s family amid reported tensions with his own parents, David and Victoria Beckham.
Brooklyn reshared the engagement announcement on his Instagram Story, writing: “Congratulations @willpeltz @kenyakinskij x love u 2 x so happy for you guys.”
Nicola expressed even greater enthusiasm, commenting on the couple’s post: “KENYA JONES PELTZ!!!!!!! MY FOREVER SISTER!!!! IM SO HAPPY I LOVE YOU BOTH!!!!!”
She also shared the announcement with her 3.1 million followers, describing it as the “best news ever”.
The engagement attracted congratulations from numerous celebrities, with Paris Jackson writing “Yes!!!!” and Sophie Stallone adding: “Yay!! Congratulations you two.” (sic)
Kenya showcased her diamond engagement ring in the announcement photograph, which the couple posted jointly on Tuesday evening.
Will is among the eldest of Nicola’s 10 siblings, whilst Kenya has pursued a successful modelling career following in the footsteps of her mother, former model Claudia Heffner Peltz.
The Peltz family holiday in Saint-Tropez has provided the backdrop for the engagement announcement, with Nicola sharing footage on Instagram of herself and Brooklyn raising champagne flutes in a toast alongside relatives, including Will.
“Fam fam,” Nicola captioned the post, which gave glimpses of their yacht vacation.
The couple’s closeness to the Peltz family was evident last month when they attended Will’s birthday party at the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles, with Nicola writing: “We all love celebrating you Willy. I love you so much.”
Brooklyn is said to have grown “so close” to his in-laws, with suggestions that he “doesn’t really feel like he fits into” his own family at the moment.

This comes amid speculation of a rift between Brooklyn and his parents over recent months.
Brooklyn’s growing distance from his own family has become increasingly apparent, with sources claiming he may miss his sister Harper’s upcoming 14th birthday on Thursday.
“Harper’s been particularly affected by what’s going on because she’s always been really close to Brooklyn,” a source told The Mirror.
The source added that the family had hoped Nicola would become “like a big sister to Harper in a house full of brothers” but “obviously that hasn’t happened”.
Brooklyn reportedly skipped his mother Victoria’s 51st birthday celebrations, as well as David’s recent 50th, and failed to publicly acknowledge his father receiving a knighthood.
Several conflicting reports have suggested what may be behind the Beckham family feud. However, none have been confirmed by either party.
