Trying to understand Nicola Peltz Beckham

[Anonymous]

She seems incredibly self-absorbed and that might even be an understatement. Looking at her social media, she is also extremely close to her family and seems to worship every single member. I have to admire this.

It is unusual for both extremes to coexist, at least for it to be common. I want to write her off as a vapid trust fund baby but I also love her strong dedication to her parents, grandmother, siblings.

I don’t know what to make of this chick.

Claiming family closeness on SM is not the same as family closeness. It’s definitely a Gen Z thing to act super close to your family.

Claiming closeness to family is also necessary
When you and your spouse rely on rich family

Tell that to Harry and Meghan.

I think more telling is the clear split Brooklyn Beckham has made from the Beckham s post marriage. She and Posh don’t get along.

How much can you value family if you’re ok with your husband abandoning the family he was clearly very very close with

it's territorial

Too late. They already burned that bridge.

I encountered plenty of sorority sisters like this from rich families. She wants to please her rich family who probably fund her and paid for a bunch of plastic surgery.

I am sure Posh or whatever her MIL's name is, is quite the diva. They both made an effort and it fell apart when the girl favored her parents with wedding plans. I assume her parents are richer and funded it all. Plus they protect her. It's also normal for the bride to feel more comfortable with and to favor her own parents. She has never experienced MIL conflict before and it can be hell especially if they may be personality disorders involved. The girl has lived a sheltered life and is struggling with the fact not everyone will cater to her or make her life easy.

As deep as a puddle. A mistake not to make nice with MIL, which she will learn. But I doubt the marriage will last more than a few years anyway.

You don't know how close he was with his parents. You just know what they portrayed to the public. A seemingly beautiful house can have foundation issues, cracks and many issues where it could fall apart with a storm or 2.

In general, many people see close family members as extensions of themselves. It is quite possible to be both extremely self-absorbed and “extremely close” to family members — particularly Instagram-close, at least until issues relating to autonomy, independence, and conflicting needs come up.

This article gives some plausible answers. Young kids want to "build an empire" and her side is willing to fund it while the Beckham side wants it to have more substance and for them to work at it more. In your early 20s, who do you gravitate to more?

The ONLY interesting things about both her and her husband are their parents.
