Nicola Peltz, the 30-year-old actress and filmmaker, took to Instagram on Saturday to share a heartfelt tribute to her late grandmothers, Bunny and Gina, who have passed away in recent years. Her post featured several cherished photos of them smiling and laughing together.
Nicola then penned a touching message dedicated to Bunny, who passed away in May 2024 at the age of 95, and Gina, who died on Nicola’s birthday in January 2020.
“In life we have core memories and this is one of my most favorite days I’ve ever lived. They were my best friends, there wasn’t a day I wasn’t with them,” the Transformers: Age of Extinction actress wrote with deep affection.
She continued her emotional message: “To my Naunni and my Gina I can’t fathom the thought of not being able to hug you or hear your laugh right now – I just miss you both so much. The farther I get from the day you left Earth scares me because I feel like I get farther from you.”
Reflecting on the shared images, Nicola fondly recalled, “I remember this day so clearly, I got us all matching Dior fancy sneakers and I was so proud to match you both this whole summer.”
Nicola also shared what brought her grandmothers to mind, saying, “The Kentucky Derby is today and I will never forget watching it on tv with you both every year. I love you both more than anything and think of you every second.”
She concluded her heartfelt tribute with, “I hope you’re together right now looking after me and I hope I see you soon. To my forever soulmates I more than love you because the word love doesn’t touch how you have made me feel growing up. I felt more than loved and that is what I feel for you both, more than love.”
This emotional tribute follows her father-in-law David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations, which Nicola and her husband Brooklyn conspicuously missed.
The couple also notably refrained from publicly acknowledging the retired footballer’s birthday online, similar to their actions on Victoria Beckham’s birthday.
“It’s a dagger to the heart that he hasn’t attended a single one of David’s 50th celebrations – and hurts the whole family including the grandparents and siblings,” a source revealed to The Sun over the weekend.
Adding to the family dynamics, reports suggest that Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola, 30, are currently at odds with his younger brother Romeo, 22, due to their disapproval of his girlfriend Kim Turnbull, 24.
