Nicola Peltz and Harper Beckham Linked by ‘Dream Sister’ Comment
Nicola Peltz has thanked her brother Will for “officially giving me my dream sister” after also using the phrase to describe Harper Beckham. The 31-year-old shared a heartfelt Instagram post to her older brother and his new wife, Kenya Kinski-Jones, on Monday after their recent wedding.
Four years after her own marriage to David and Victoria Beckham’s son, Brooklyn, Nicola’s 40-year-old brother has married into the family of music legend Quincy Jones, who passed away this year. Will Peltz tied the knot with model Kenya Kinski-Jones, 33.

Will’s parents, billionaire mogul Nelson and his mother-in-law Claudia, ensured they were present at each step of the wedding ceremony, with Nelson being the best man and Claudia serving as the matron of honor for her daughter-in-law.
Recent questions have been raised regarding Kenya’s relationship with her mother, German actress Nastassja Kinski, who raised Kenya after her parents’ divorce in the Nineties.
Nastassja appears to have been absent from the wedding since she cannot be seen in the photos published by Vogue magazine to mark the special day.
Nicola said in her extended Instagram post about the wedding that “this wedding was truly one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever had the pleasure of being a part of,” before turning to her new sister-in-law to say “thanx to willy for finally and officially giving me my dream sister, ken.”
Nicola Peltz Once Called Harper Beckham Her ‘Dream Sister’
Two years ago, Nicola Peltz, who has her own sister named Brittany, invited Harper Beckham, the 14-year-old sister of Brooklyn, “my dream little sister.”
But they both ironically ignored the poor girl this month as the couple’s war with the Beckhams continued.
At the premiere of her directorial debut, Lola, in 2024, Nicola spoke of their close relationship, saying that if she could design a perfect little sister in her imagination, then this would be her.
“I’m so lucky to have her as my little sister in my life,” said Nicola.
Nicola Peltz, who once upon a time was looked up to by Harper Beckham, and Brooklyn are no longer on speaking terms with his family, and earlier this month, the teenage girl found herself caught up in the middle of the feud.
After her father David’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star in Los Angeles, Harper paid a surprise visit to her brother’s Beverly Hills home to hand him a handwritten note saying he was sorry, only to be heartbroken to learn that he wasn’t there.
Nicola Peltz, Harper Beckham Feud Deepens Over Visit Claims
Soon after his sister turned up at the home shared by Brooklyn Beckham and his partner Nicola, their camp accused the couple of ‘using Harper as a pawn,’ claiming that photographers waiting as the letter was personally delivered ‘says it all.’ They told the Daily Mail: ‘The fact that photographers were in place as the letter was hand-delivered says it all; this was choreographed for the cameras. ‘Friends of David and Victoria Beckham have defended the ‘nasty accusation leveled at an innocent young girl’ by their estranged son, 27. However, they also stated that Brooklyn has not heard from his sister or his grandparents since the fallout. Representatives for Brooklyn and Nicola defended their client’s actions, stating that the circumstances surrounding the visit raised ‘serious concerns.’ It later emerged that Brooklyn wasn’t even in California when his sister turned up.

Rather than denying the allegations, the young star decided to update his 20 million followers on social media. The singer posted an Instagram story about running in New York, one place he was when his sister arrived.
Harper’s friends told Katie Hind of the Daily Mail that it was not an overstatement to say that the teenager is still in shock over the situation with her family.
“Before Brooklyn had his first child, he spent the first 12 years of Harper’s life with him,” one of the friends said. “He was 12 when she was born, and he was very close to her.
“I think it’s safe to say that Harper is devastated that her older brother is no longer a part of her life.”
Cruz Beckham posted a photo with Romeo and Harper’s younger brother, showing how close they are to each other.

During the short rehearsal before the wedding ceremony, her sister Tina gave her a pin locket with a photo of their father to attach to her bouquet, and she walked down the aisle to Magnus Ferrell singing You Put a Move on My Heart, a song of her father’s. It was Will’s mother, Claudia, who helped the bride plan the wedding, with Kenya saying it was something she looked forward to ‘planning alongside family.’
‘Will’s incredible mother, Claudia, was the heart of the process. As with everything she does, I found myself learning so much from her.

Will added he was delighted to have the wedding at home surrounded by his family, explaining, “We’re a come-over-for-dinner couple,” he says. “And I grew up in a full, loud house where everybody is welcome. That’s home to me.”
The bride’s mother, Nastassja, who is not mentioned at all in the Vogue piece, doesn’t appear to have attended the wedding.
The couple’s Instagram accounts do not follow each other, while Kenya has changed her name on the social media platform to Kenya Jones Peltz, dropping the ‘Kinski’ part of her married name.
Nastassja was not mentioned, nor pictured, in the couple’s wedding album. In contrast, the Peltz parents were referenced eight times and appeared in several photos.
