Who is Nicola Peltz? Billionaire family, movie star and marrying Brooklyn Beckham

This weekend, Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz will say 'I do' at the bride's parents' beachside estate in Florida.

The big day is said to have an extreme A-list guest list with attendees said to include celebrity Scots chef Gordon Ramsay, rapper Snoop Dogg and Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria.

Brooklyn and Nicola's families will also be in attendance including his father David Beckham, mum Victoria Beckham, his two brothers Cruz and Romeo, and sister Harper, writes The Mirror.

And whilst the news of the wedding is a hot topic right now, some fans might not be as familiar with Transformers actress Nicola.

Privileged childhood

Nicola was brought up in upstate New York by her parents, billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz, 79, and ex-model Claudia Heffner, 66. Nicola has six brothers and one sister.

Speaking previously to Interview magazine, Nicola said that she grew up playing ice hockey and thought it would be a career for her - following in the footsteps of brother Brad Peltz, now 32.

However, after participating in acting class at school, an interest was sparked and Nicola wanted to pursue a career in the arts, with her later securing roles with the Manhattan Theatre Club.

The 27-year-old's career is said to have inspired older brother Will Peltz, now 35, to become an actor himself, with him later appearing in films such as Unfriended (2015).

Film career

Nicola's film debut was in the Christmas comedy Deck the Halls in 2006, she played character Mackenzie and starred alongside the likes of Danny DeVito.

She then went on to appear in Miley Cyrus's music video for the song 7 Things, which was released in 2008, and played the character Katara in the fantasy film The Last Airbender (2010).

However, Nicola is best known for her main role as Bradley Martin in the drama-thriller series Bates Motel - which was a prequel show to the film Psycho (1960).

She played the love interest of the lead but initially left the cast during the second season - though she reprised the role for several episodes during the show's third season.

Her other acting credits include roles in films such as Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014), Our House (2018) and Holidate (2020), among various other appearances.

Famous ex boyfriends

Nicola has been linked to a couple of celebrities during her career to date, including model Anwar Hadid, 22, the brother of super models Gigi and Bella.

The pair dated for around a year and a half before calling it quit.

Nicola then started dating the Beckham family's eldest child Brooklyn towards the end of 2019, with the pair rumoured to have met at a Halloween party that year.

The couple went Instagram official at the start of 2020, posting a selfie of themselves in a mirror, with them later announcing their engagement in July that year.

The pair have gushed over each other in posts on social media since becoming an item, with Nicola having referred to him as an "incredible person" with a heart of "pure gold."

They're now just days away from getting married, with them set to tie the knot at a palatial beachside estate in Palm Beach owned by her father, reportedly worth £78 million.
