Nicola Peltz is leaning on her girls as her nasty feud with the Beckham family heats up!
On Friday, sources told RadarOnline that the 30-year-old actress is surrounding herself with several powerful, famous women due to the “nuclear war” with Victoria and David Beckham. Her new girl squad is so impressive that some may say it’s on the same level as Taylor Swift‘s circle! In fact, there are a few crossovers!
Insiders shared that Nicola is embracing her celebrity friendships to “assert her independence and rebuild her public image,” which isn’t great right now. There are whispers about her being a mean girl not only to her mother-in-law but to her Hollywood peers, and that’s on top of all the feud talk! A source continued:
“Nicola’s really stepping into her Taylor Swift-style era in Hollywood. She’s building this tight-knit, star-studded inner circle that’s beginning to rival Taylor’s — and it’s clearly giving her a big boost of confidence when it comes to her battle with the Beckhams.”

Who is in her girl squad? For starters, she has Selena Gomez! The Only Murders in the Building star is her main confidante. However, Selly isn’t a shock. We knew Nicola, Selena, and Brooklyn Beckham were close, so much so they even referred to themselves as a “throuple” in the past! LOLz!
In addition to Selena, Nicola reportedly reconnected with several other A-Listers, including Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, and Hailey Bieber.
Wait, what?
Hailey?? And Selena? That sounds complicated. Hah!
If true, is there a chance Brooklyn’s wife will hang out with both Hailey and Selena at the same time publicly? Or is it very much a separate deal? We heard the Wizards of Waverly Place alum extended an olive branch to the Rhode founder during the Vogue debacle. Perhaps Nicola’s friendship with the two will help mend the fences between them for good?? Wishful thinking — but you never know! If it happened, what a way to break the internet and distract from all the family feud talk! LOLz!
Regardless, these four women are reportedly supporting Nicola amid her family troubles at the moment! The source said:
“The feud has, in a surprising way, helped Nicola reconnect with people she’d lost touch with, and now they’re rallying around her more than ever.”
How sweet! Sometimes all you need is your girls during trying times!
And, of course, we have to mention Meghan Markle if we’re talking about Nicola’s squad! The Duchess of Sussex has been there for the heiress and her husband a lot over the past few weeks, and she’s even introduced Nicola to another big name! Insiders told Radar that Meghan connected the Lola filmmaker with her bestie Serena Williams! And they have been close ever since due to their mutual experiences with public family rifts!
“Nicola and Serena bonded instantly. Serena’s been reaching out often — she really gets the pressure Nicola’s under.”
Whoa! That’s an unexpected friendship!
Nicola really found a solid — and very famous — friend group. Not only is the squad a win when it comes to her image, but she must feel satisfied to know this is getting under Victoria’s skin! Posh Spice reportedly is not happy with how her daughter-in-law is thriving during their drama:
“Victoria’s finding it hard to see Nicola emerging from all this with more visibility, stronger ties, and a growing public profile. There’s a definite feeling that Nicola isn’t just standing firm — she’s flourishing. With her A-list squad behind her, she feels invincible, protected and far more powerful than the Beckhams.”
As they say, family isn’t always blood — or, in this case, the one you marry into! It’s sometimes those you choose to have in your inner circle instead! And Nicola seems to be surrounding herself with powerhouse group of girlfriends who will have her back more than the Beckham family ever did.
What are your reactions, Perezcious readers? Are you shocked by who Nicola is close to now? Do you think she’s really that close to all these ladies? Let us know in the comments (below)!
