Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz’s feud with the Beckham family garnered renewed attention this week after Nicola shared footage from her ballerina‑themed 31st birthday party. The celebration looked cheerful and full of smiles. However, a body language expert claims it showed signs of how Nicola may be navigating the current strain with the Beckhams, with her soft and playful behavior throughout the video sparking discussion about the couple’s ongoing rift and how she chooses to handle it.

Amid the rumors of a family feud, Brooklyn Beckham’s wife, Nicola Peltz, posted a birthday video on TikTok. In the video, she smiled, kissed her husband, and soaked in the moment as loved ones, including her father Nelson, sat beside her and sang to her. She was all smiles, but netizens noted that no Beckham family members appeared at the party, which follows multiple signs of tension after Brooklyn and Nicola skipped David Beckham’s 50th birthday last year.
Body language expert Judi James told The Sun that Nicola’s behavior during the celebration showed a “love of childlike behaviours.” James said Nicola’s ballerina‑themed party “looked like one on every five-year-old’s wish list,” noting that she dressed in frilly pink and even crouched down at times to take in the moment from a “small child’s eyes.”
Moreover, James added that Nicola appeared to enjoy being the “indulged child of the family,” with guests treating her as the center of attention.
Pointing to Nicola’s kiss with Brooklyn in the video, the body-language expert claimed it looked “shy and cute,” describing it as similar to “teens that have just found themselves under the mistletoe.”
According to James, the childlike approach can signal a “desire to avoid criticism or conflict.” She explained that these “sweeter forms of immature behaviour” may reflect a need to feel safe and protected during emotional tension.
Even so, Nicola seems to focus on surrounding herself with affection, celebrating milestones on her own terms, and enjoying what James described as a “fairy castle lifestyle,” even as the family feud continues.
