Nicola Peltz dated other notable people before Brooklyn Beckham
Peltz’s first brush with celebrity romance came in 2016, when people linked her to Justin Bieber. They reportedly met at an album release party and began spending time together. If they became romantically involved, however, their relationship fizzled out quickly. By the summer of 2016, things appeared to be over between them.
In 2017, Peltz began dating Anwar Hadid, the younger brother of models Gigi and Bella Hadid.
“We’re hanging out,” she told Women’s Wear Daily. “Honestly, he is an angel. He’s such an amazing person.”
The couple parted ways in 2018. Amid the Beckham family drama, Anwar’s older sister, Alana, slammed Peltz on Instagram. She wrote that Peltz “doesn’t want privacy” and has “been trying to be famous for a decade.”
In 2019, Peltz began dating LANY singer Paul Klein. The couple broke up in early 2019.
How did Nicola Peltz meet Brooklyn Beckham?
Brooklyn admitted to feeling immediately drawn to Peltz after seeing her at Coachella in 2017. They both had partners at the time, so nothing came of it. Several years later, they reconnected.
“We ran into each other at a Halloween party,” Peltz told Glamour in 2025. “I turned around and there he was, hiding in a giant bush.”
Brooklyn explained that he was trying to avoid paparazzi by hiding in the bush.
“One of my friends was having trouble getting in, so I asked Brooklyn for help and he didn’t hesitate,” Peltz said. “Two days later, we had our first kiss. That’s when the story really began.”
Within six months, the couple got engaged. They both explained that the relationship just felt right to them.
“My parents always said, ‘When you meet the right person, you’ll just know,’” Peltz said. “As a kid I was like, What does that even mean? But it’s real. It’s this calm feeling, a sense of safety that takes over your whole body. I’d never felt that before.”
Brooklyn encouraged people to seek out a relationship like the one he had with Peltz.
“You should marry your best friend,” he said. “Someone who feels like home. For me, that’s Nicola.”
They tied the knot in 2022.
They shared their advice for protecting their relationship from the public eye
Brooklyn and Peltz’s relationship has existed in the public eye since the beginning. After the public statement he posted about his parents, there’s more attention than ever on their romance. Before this all went public, they offered advice to people with attention on their relationship.
“Ignore the noise. Keep your head down, work hard, be kind,” Brooklyn said. “People are always going to talk. What matters is that we’re happy together.”
Peltz said she tries to ignore what people are saying about their relationship.
“It’s not always easy. On TikTok there are always random stories popping up about us,” she said. “When I see fake news, my instinct is to shut it down. But it’s not worth it. I just scroll past and move on.”
