Nicola Peltz’s fallout with her husband’s family highlighted an unlikely alliance this week as Yolanda Hadid reportedly showed support for Brooklyn’s mother Victoria.
The actress, 30, dated Yolanda’s son Anwar for around a year when he was 17 and she was 22 but their age-gap apparently concerned his family.
In a show of support amid Nicola and Brooklyn’s rift with the Beckhams, Yolanda, 61, shared a love heart underneath David’s knighthood announcement.
While there is no public history of a relationship between the two matriarchs, it is possible she understands what the family is going through after she suffered her own ‘strained’ relationship with the Bates Motel star during her romance with Anwar.
The bond got off to a strong start, with Nicola joining Anwar’s famous sisters on the red carpet and posing for sweet selfies with Yolanda on Instagram.
It initially seemed Yolanda approved of Nicola, as they posed with blue towels wrapped around their heads and hung out on a ‘rainy east coast summer day.’

Model Anwar also shared the star-filtered snap with his own caption: ‘My ladies.’
The Dutch native had posted several snaps of the PDA pair using hashtags like ‘#TooCute, #HappyKids, and #HappyMommy.’
However, according to a Mail Plus report by Katie Hind, relations seemingly declined over time and they were left with ‘no good feeling’ between them as Nicola proceeded to unfollow the whole family on social media.
Yolanda, who was the stand-out star of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills at the time, and her famous children proved to be a huge boost to Nicola’s social standing.
Before her relationship with Anwar, Nicola had also been linked to other famous faces including Justin Bieber and The Last Ship actor Cameron Fuller.
Speaking about her relationship with Anwar and his family with WWD, Nicola said: ‘We’re hanging out. Honestly, he is an angel. He’s such an amazing person.
‘He comes from such an amazing family. Gigi and Bella are so, so sweet. I just love his family so much. They’re feminine, strong girls. To have that around is amazing.’
They had nepotism in common, having both come from incredibly wealthy, prominent fathers (General Eletric billionaire Nelson Peltz and real estate mogul Mohamed Hadid) married to model mothers (Claudia and Yolanda).

There are striking similarities between the two relationships, including the links to two incredibly well known families and the age-gaps in both.
While Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola are reportedly no longer on speaking terms with his family, sources told Katie Hind that Anwar’s family were worried he was increasingly unhappy in his relationship and they were keen for him to get out of it quickly.
A source told Katie Hind: ‘The age difference bothered them. And so did Nicola’s strong personality. It had started so well but they later began to no longer think the relationship was the best idea for Anwar.
‘That led to some conversations between Anwar and the family. They feared he was struggling, going out with a woman who was older than him at such a formative time in his life.’
On Wednesday, Victoria received unexpected support from Yolanda as the fashion designer, 51, and her husband David, 50, navigate a growing rift with their eldest son, and his actress wife, Nicola, after the couple were notably absent from David’s recent 50th birthday celebrations.
Following Brooklyn’s most recent snub on Father’s Day, Yolanda has reached out to Victoria after news broke of David’s upcoming knighthood.
Although Victoria and Yolanda aren’t known to be close, the latter responded to the fashion designer’s post about David receiving his knighthood with a public show of support last week.

Gigi and Bella are no strangers to Victoria, as they walked her catwalk show for Paris Fashion Week in 2022.
Nicola previously dated their younger brother, Anwar, for 18 months before the pair split in 2018.
Despite speculation, sources close to Nicola insisted there is no bad blood between her and the Hadid family despite her unfollowing the family after their split.
It comes after David told his children ‘I will always be there, no matter what’ in an emotional Father’s Day Instagram post on Sunday amid their ongoing family fallout.
He shared pictures of Victoria and their four children Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13, laughing and looking cheery in happier times.
Subtly reaching out to his eldest son, David insisted he will always be around to support Brooklyn even if times get tough.
He wrote: ‘My most important & favourite job in life is being a dad… I’m so proud of all of you and like daddy ( sorry boys ) tells you every single day I will always be here for you no matter what…

‘Mummy thank you for doing the most important part and making me a father there is no greater gift in life than making me a dad… Happy Father’s Day… I love you kiddies more than you could imagine.. @victoriabeckham @brooklynpeltzbeckham @romeobeckham @cruzbeckham #HarperSeven @tedbeckhamdavid’
Cruz responded to his father on the post, writing: ‘You mean the world to us and inspire us every single day dad I love you’.
Victoria’s Father’s Day tribute to husband David was filled with nods to their son Brooklyn as she reached out to her eldest child.
Posh Spice – who became Lady Beckham as her husband led the King’s Birthday Honours list – ensured Brooklyn was in the majority of the pictures in her post, despite the eldest failing to acknowledge his dad’s knighthood this week.
But their was no sign of their bitter rift on Sunday, as she wrote: ‘Happy Father’s Day to the best daddy there is!
‘You always lead with love and our four beautiful children are a reflection of that. We all love you so so much!! @brooklynpeltzbeckham @romeobeckham @cruzbeckham #HarperSeven xxx’

David declared himself ‘immensely proud’ as he finally received a knighthood after years of being snubbed
Congratulating her husband, Victoria shared a loved-up photo to Instagram and wrote: ‘You’ve always been my knight in shining armour, but now it’s official. Sir David!!! What an honour, I couldn’t be prouder of you.
‘Your dedication to the things that matter most — your country, your work, your passion, and most of all, your family — has never wavered.
‘The way you’ve touched so many lives over the years with kindness and humility speaks volumes about the man you are and continues to inspire us everyday.’
She concluded: ‘But above all else, I’m so, so proud to call you mine. I love you so much xxxx’
David declared himself ‘immensely proud’ as he finally received a knighthood after years of being snubbed.
He said he ‘never could have imagined I would receive such a truly humbling honour’, as his Spice Girl wife Victoria also becomes Lady Beckham.
But while the family celebrated David’s honour, the silence continued from Brooklyn who did not publicly post about his father’s achievement.
