Selena Gomez and Nicola Peltz Beckham were once known for their close friendship, often sharing matching outfits, vacations, and social media moments together. However, fans were quick to notice that Nicola and her husband, Brooklyn Beckham, were noticeably absent from Selena’s recent wedding to Benny Blanco, sparking rumors of a possible rift.
According to People Magazine, an insider revealed that while the pair are still on good terms, they are “not as close as they once were.”
Selena and Nicola’s Friendship Timeline
The friendship between the Lose You to Love Me singer and the Bates Motel actress began at the Academy Museum Gala in 2022, where the two instantly bonded. Their friendship quickly grew, with both couples — Selena and Benny, Nicola and Brooklyn — spending holidays and public outings together.
However, it seems time and distance have taken their toll on the friendship. “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 source clarified.
Nicola’s Absence From Selena’s Wedding Raises Questions
Selena’s wedding was reportedly an intimate ceremony surrounded by her family and closest friends, including Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Martin Short, and Steve Martin. Nicola’s absence didn’t go unnoticed, prompting online speculation that the friendship had soured.
But insiders insist there’s no drama or feud behind the scenes. “There’s no bad blood between them,” one source shared, explaining that Nicola’s busy filming schedule made it difficult for her to attend.
No Rift, Just Different Priorities
Another source close to Nicola confirmed that she had prior work commitments. “She was busy with a rigorous shooting schedule and had already planned to skip the nuptials,” they revealed.
Despite growing apart, both Selena and Nicola continue to support each other privately and maintain mutual respect. While fans may miss seeing their once inseparable friendship moments, insiders suggest the change is simply a natural part of life and evolving priorities.
