A modern day Treaty of Versailles.
Victoria Beckham and daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz Beckham have been pictured arm-in-arm in a family photo shared by Brooklyn Beckham on his Instagram Story, and re-shared by both women – a strong statement from the mother-in-law and the model considering gossipmongers continuously highlighted months of seemingly pointed social media silence from the two amid feud rumours.
“Love you guys so much,” Brooklyn, 24, wrote alongside the snap, which shows David Beckham, 47, Victoria, 48, Nicola, 28, and Harper Beckham, 11, smiling and embracing each other.

The happy snap was shared days after Brooklyn and Nicola celebrated their first wedding anniversary on April 9, which also coincided with Easter Sunday.
Brooklyn and Nicola marked the occasion with David, Victoria and Harper at Nicola’s billionaire parents’ $141 million Palm Beach mansion, in an event sources dubbed a “peace summit” following months of feud rumours between Victoria and Nicola.
“[Brooklyn and Nicola] have spent the last few days in Tokyo but wanted to gather both families in Palm Beach for a low-key Easter Sunday dinner to commemorate their first year as a married couple,” an insider told The Sun ahead of the “peace summit” last weekend.
It came over a month after Nicola denied she was ever feuding with her mother-in-law in the first place.

In an interview for her cover shoot with Cosmopolitan, Nicola touched lightly on the rumours and drama she’s been surrounded by since her wedding last year.
“I’ve said this so many times: There’s no feud. I don’t know. No one ever wants to write the nice things,” she said.
“It’s really weird, actually, whether it’s my life or someone else’s life or whatever, when you know the truth and then you read something totally wrong.”
The model’s comments were made after it was revealed that Nicola and Victoria butted heads over numerous aspects of wedding planning last year, most prominently the wedding dress.
Nicola had vocalised her intent to wear one of Victoria’s designs, but wound up walking down the aisle in a Valentino creation. She later spent the year fuelling the swirling rumours of tension, while dually claiming that there was no bad blood between her and her mother-in-law.
Her interview also came weeks after she made a rare appearance on Victoria’s Instagram account.

Victoria shared a sweet family photo after her show at Paris Fashion Week, which included her son Brooklyn and his wife, with the caption: “I couldn’t do it without you, I love you all so much x #harperseven @davidbeckham @cruzbeckham @brooklynpeltzbeckham @nicolaannepeltzbeckham. Kisses from Paris (we miss you @romeobeckham!)”
Underneath, Nicola commented, “A beautiful show! We love you! 💕”
Back in August last year, both Nicola and Brooklyn attempted to shut down the rumours by claiming that everyone in the family “gets along”.
But not many were convinced.
Victoria continued to seemingly ice out Nicola on Instagram, and vice-versa, though it seems the pair have settled on reconciliation this year, with the Paris Fashion Week Instagram post marking a change in their social media habits regarding each other.
Nicola and her family have also been caught up in a different wedding drama – the major lawsuit her father has waged against wedding planners Nicole Braghin and Arianna Grijalba of Plan Design Events.
The latest on that one is that Nicola’s billionaire father, Nelson Peltz, has filed a second claim demanding his $US159,000 (approx. $241,300) deposit back.
In the filing, the family accused Braghin and Grijalba of providing “no services of value” when they were employed six weeks prior to the event, after the family’s first choice of wedding planners were dropped. Read more here.
