In a rare public comment, billionaire investor Nelson Peltz addressed the widely reported discord involving his son-in-law, Brooklyn Beckham, and the Beckham family. The remarks were made during a financial conference in Florida this week.
When questioned about the ongoing situation, the 83-year-old business magnate initially deferred, stating the matter was “a whole other story” not for discussion at the event. However, he went on to offer a brief, personal endorsement of the couple involved. “I’ll tell you my daughter is great, my son-in-law Brooklyn is great, and I look forward to them having a long, happy marriage together,” Peltz stated.
Pressed on whether he has offered counsel to the pair, Peltz confirmed he has, while humorously noting the reciprocal nature of their conversations. He also quipped about his primary piece of advice, suggesting they should avoid media attention altogether—a recommendation he acknowledged with irony given the public nature of the interview.
These comments follow a significant personal statement issued last month by Brooklyn Beckham. In that declaration, the entrepreneur expressed a firm stance against reconciling with his parents, alleging a lifetime of media narrative control and a preference for public promotion over private family matters. He credited his marriage with providing a sense of peace and relief after years of personal anxiety.
The public divergence marks a notable chapter for one of the world’s most famous families, highlighting a deep and seemingly unresolved rift played out under intense public scrutiny.
