Meghan Markle And Nicola Peltz Reportedly Bonded During Secret Dinner

However, sources say the invitation came via a mutual friend, and that the gathering included other VIPs.

Meanwhile, tensions remain high between Brooklyn Beckham and his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, with the younger couple absent from key family events.

According to sources, the Sussexes recently hosted Brooklyn and Nicola for an intimate dinner at their Montecito home.

While the event has raised eyebrows due to the ongoing tensions within the Beckham family, it’s been confirmed that the plans were made before the public fallout between Brooklyn and his parents, David and Victoria.

Insiders suggest Meghan felt a strong sense of empathy toward Nicola, as both women have experienced similar challenges navigating strained family dynamics under the media spotlight.

A source told The Sun that during the dinner, Meghan and the “Lola” actress shared a heartfelt conversation, bonding over how they’ve “been positioned in the media as home-wreckers — the women to tear apart their husbands’ families.”

“Meghan had a lot of sympathy for her, and said there was shared common ground,” the insider revealed. “They didn’t meet in relation to recent developments and headlines, but it was an honest but very welcome coincidence.”

A source close to Harry and Meghan has now played down reports of a close alliance between the two couples.

According to insiders, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex didn’t personally extend an invitation to Brooklyn and Nicola for the dinner. Instead, it’s believed the couple was introduced through a mutual acquaintance or intermediary.

Additionally, as reported by People Magazine, the dinner wasn’t a private affair, but part of a larger gathering attended by various high-profile guests, including figures from the entertainment and media industries.

A previous report from the publication revealed underlying tensions between Brooklyn, his wife Nicola, and the rest of the Beckham family.

Interestingly, David and Victoria once enjoyed a close friendship with Harry and Meghan, even attending the couple’s royal wedding in 2018.

They reportedly went so far as to offer Harry and Meghan use of their Beverly Hills home as a private retreat not long after the royal wedding.

However, the relationship between the two couples has since cooled. According to reports, tension arose when Meghan allegedly suspected Victoria of leaking personal information to the media, a claim that created significant friction.

A source told The Sun that Meghan voiced her concerns to Harry, suggesting Victoria was the source of a leak.

The source noted that Harry reached out to David in an attempt to clear the air, stating: “Harry is very protective of Meghan, and decided to deal with the matter head-on, by directly contacting his good pal, David. Harry was very polite, but obviously, it was a pretty awkward exchange, and David was mortified.”

As the tension between the Beckham family continues, Brooklyn and Nicola were noticeably absent from several recent family gatherings.

Most notably, the pair was nowhere to be seen during David Beckham’s 50th birthday bash.

Brooklyn was also absent from other key celebrations, including an earlier birthday event in Miami, a family fishing trip in Scotland, a private dinner in the Cotswolds, and a vineyard visit in France.

Meanwhile, friends of the Beckham family have reportedly been left outraged following bold claims made by individuals close to Nicola regarding the cause of the ongoing tensions between Brooklyn and his parents.

According to reports, there have been claims that the root of the conflict between the Beckhams lies in what was described as “toxic behavior” and “emotional abuse” within the family dynamic, allegations that David and Victoria have vehemently denied.

A source close to the power couple strongly pushed back against the accusations, telling The Mirror: “I don’t think anyone who has ever seen David and Victoria with their children would recognise this deeply unpleasant attack. It doesn’t even warrant a response, it’s so ludicrous and patently untrue.”

Another insider said the couple was left “open-mouthed” upon hearing the allegations.
