Rumors regarding the root of this family feud began to swirl, with fingers often pointing at Nicola as the catalyst behind the ongoing strife. However, it has emerged that the underlying issue stems from a more timeless conflict: a mother-in-law versus daughter-in-law saga.

An insider, spilling the beans to Us Weekly, revealed that a "bad blood" exists between the two ladies, tracing its origins back to a time even before the Beckham heir tied the knot with Peltz. The source further disclosed that the rift has never truly been mended, leaving the wound still fresh and painful.

This lingering "tension," still palpable within the family dynamics, is taking a heavy toll on the English model, who now serves as Superdry's first sustainability ambassador. At just 26 years old, he finds himself navigating through treacherous waters, longing for a bit of empathy and understanding from his kin. His physical distance from them, evident by his absence at the Inter Miami CF co-owner's special day, speaks volumes of his emotional detachment.

Moreover, the source disclosed that Brooklyn stands firmly by Nicola's side, a stance that has not been met with favor by his parents. His unwavering support for her, coupled with her steadfast defense of him, has only exacerbated the tension within the family fold, creating an even more fraught atmosphere.
