Brooklyn Beckham's ongoing family drama has reignited his wife Nicola Peltz's past relationship with Gigi and Bella Hadid's brother, Anwar. Social media is now tagging the relationship as problematic.
In the world of high-profile celebrities, the past never truly goes away. And when it comes to some of the world's most famous families, anything and everything is up for debate. The current scenario following Brooklyn Beckham's bombshell statement against his family has once again gotten the internet searching for answers and digging up past scandals involving the Beckham clan and Brooklyn's 31-year-old wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham.
Amid the growing buzz around Brooklyn and Nicola’s past relationships, internet sleuths have uncovered that the actress was once linked to another famous clan, the Hadids. Before Brooklyn Beckham, Nicola Peltz dated Anwar Hadid, the younger brother of Gigi and Bella Hadid.
As the Beckham family drama continues to unfold, old photos and videos of Nicola and Anwar have resurfaced and quickly gone viral across X, Reddit, and Instagram. The renewed attention has sparked fresh scrutiny, pulling the Bates Motel actress into yet another online firestorm. Now, one question is dominating the conversation: Did Nicola date Anwar while he was still a minor?
If their dating timeline is to be followed, Nicola Peltz, born in January 1995, was 22 when she was dating Anwar Hadid, who was born in June 1999. This indicates that in 2016, when they allegedly started dating, Anwar was just 17, still a minor. With the reignited cosy moments between the former couple, their age gap has raised red flags, with many accusing Nicola of being reckless for dating a minor as an adult. However, others say the newfound outrage is exaggerated and makes no sense at this point.
In the past few days, photos of the Nicola and Anwar returned to popular discussion platforms, and the internet is now accusing the actress of dating only high-profile nepo kids, despite being older than them. After Brooklyn’s headline-making statement against his famous family and his desperate plea for privacy and peace, things have turned more dramatic following Anwar’s half-sister Alana’s comment on Instagram.
Recently, photographer Eli Rezkallah commented on a post about the Beckham family drama, saying, "Ending an eight-paragraph rant about his family’s dirty laundry with 'all we want is privacy' is all I need to know." Responding to the comment, Alana Hadid, 40, chimed in with her own experience with Nicola Peltz. Her now-deleted comment read:
"Right, and that girl doesn't want privacy; she's been trying to be famous for a decade."
The internet is not shutting up about it. Users are now pointing out how Nicola started dating Brooklyn when he was 20 and she was 25. A viral post on X mentions how the billionaire heiress might not have “given Brooklyn Beckham a second look if his name was Brooklyn Shufflebottom.” The post reads:
“In 2017 Nicola Peltz at age 22 dated Anwar Hadid who was 17-she went from one Nepo baby to the other. Do you REALLY think she’d have given Brooklyn Beckham a second look if his name was Brooklyn Shufflebottom? No. Interesting fact-they started dating when he was 20 and she was 25. She likes those younger men. More moldable and pliable.”

Even sources close to the Beckhams and the Hadids have now found stark similarities between Nicola’s current marriage and her dynamic with her ex's family. In a recent report by The Mirror, Nicola had a "difficult relationship" with Yolanda Hadid, and the latter was "so relieved" when Anwar broke up with the former socialite.
Close sources of the two families recently told The Mirror how things between Nicola Peltz and Yolanda Hadid were strained during the relationship, and apparently the latter was relieved when Anwar ended things with the actress. A source close to the Hadids told the outlet:
"They (Anwar's family) feared he was struggling, going out with a woman who was older than him at such a formative time in his life. Strong words were had; Yolanda was so relieved when it all finished. Poor Anwar was somewhat discombobulated by the whole relationship."
It’s interesting to note that Nicola initially spoke glowingly about Anwar and his famous family, calling him “an angel” and praising sisters Gigi Hadid and Bella Hadid as “strong, feminine girls.” But insiders now say the tone shifted behind closed doors. According to reports, Yolanda and her daughters had grown increasingly concerned about Anwar’s relationship with five years older Nicola. Some reports even claim Yolanda even attempted an “intervention” to help her son “see sense.”
In his eight paragraphs long statement, Brooklyn Beckham especially threw shade on his mother, Victoria Beckham, indicating that her dislike for Nicola exacerbated the estrangement between them. However, close ones and fans appear to be less convinced about Brooklyn’s allegations against Victoria, even the one where he says the Spice Girls star danced “improperly” after “hijacking” his wedding dance with Nicola.
Fans have rallied in support of Victoria Beckham, implying that the former “posh spice” has always been a sexy dancer, no matter who she dances with, and even though there is no video of the alleged dance, the eldest Beckham heir could be overreacting. Some netizens added that unlike Nicola’s messy past, Victoria has no such record.
Friends of the Beckhams have privately noted similarities between Nicola’s past with Anwar and her current estrangement from Victoria Beckham and David Beckham. Brooklyn, however, has fiercely rejected claims that Nicola is controlling, insisting he is finally standing up for himself. Brooklyn has made it clear he has no interest in reconciliation, recently stepping out hand-in-hand with Nicola in Malibu.
As old relationships resurface and new accusations fly, Nicola Peltz Beckham’s romantic history is now being re-examined through a much harsher lens. But what are your thoughts on this?
