Nicola and Brooklyn Peltz Beckham Have Reportedly “Grown Apart” from Selena Gomez — But There’s No Drama, Just Life Changing Naturally
It looks like one of Hollywood’s most talked-about friendships has simply entered a new chapter. According to a source close to the trio, there’s no feud or fallout between Selena Gomez and married couple Nicola and Brooklyn Peltz Beckham — just the natural drifting that sometimes happens as people’s lives and priorities change.
Rumors began swirling online after fans noticed the trio hadn’t been seen together for a while. Last year, Selena, Nicola, and Brooklyn appeared inseparable — from their viral New Year’s trip in matching outfits to sweet dinner photos that had fans dubbing them “a modern-day trio of besties.” The group shared laughs, vacations, and red-carpet moments that felt effortless. But recently, fans started to wonder what had changed, with some gossip outlets suggesting betrayal or conflict behind the scenes.
A source close to the situation has now set the record straight. Speaking to PEOPLE, the insider said, “There’s no bad blood. Relationships evolve, and it’s true they’re not as close as they once were, but there wasn’t any one thing that happened.” The comment underscores that the distance between them isn’t about drama — it’s about time, growth, and different life paths.
Selena, 32, has been busy balancing her music, acting, and Rare Beauty empire, while Nicola, 29, and Brooklyn, 25, are deep into their married life, dividing their time between creative projects, family events, and frequent travel. “They all still have love for each other,” the source adds, “but everyone’s focusing on different things right now. It’s just what happens sometimes.”
For longtime fans, it’s a relief to hear that the bond wasn’t broken by conflict. Back in 2023, Selena referred to Nicola and Brooklyn as her “soulmates” in a now-famous Instagram caption. The post — which showed the trio on a yacht — fueled headlines celebrating their friendship as genuine, joyful, and refreshingly supportive in an industry often clouded by competitiveness. That closeness made their recent quiet spell even more noticeable to fans online.
But as many can relate, friendships, especially in the whirlwind of fame, can shift without animosity. Between filming her hit series Only Murders in the Building, working on her next album, and managing her wellness brand, Selena’s world has expanded. Similarly, Nicola has continued building her acting career and supporting Brooklyn’s creative ventures, while maintaining her strong family ties to the Peltz and Beckham legacies.
While social media tends to frame distance as drama, those close to the stars insist this isn’t that kind of story. “They’re all in good places individually,” says the source. “There’s nothing negative here — just life moving on.”
In an era where celebrity friendships are dissected by millions of followers, even a missed like or comment can spark endless speculation. But the reality, as this story reminds us, is much simpler and more human. People grow, relationships change, and that doesn’t erase the affection that once was.
Selena Gomez remains one of the most grounded voices in Hollywood — someone who’s repeatedly said she values authenticity over appearances. That philosophy seems to extend here, too. As for Nicola and Brooklyn, they continue to share glimpses of their life together filled with love and laughter, showing that not every chapter of friendship needs a dramatic ending.
