Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz are going through a complicated stage in their personal lives and have decided to take measures to protect their public reputation. To do so, they have reportedly hired Jenny Afia, a British lawyer who previously represented Meghan Markle and Harry.

The choice of Afia has caused much speculation, as some have linked Brooklyn and Nicola with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. However, a legal source close to the Schillings firm, where Afia works, clarified to People magazine that there is no direct connection.
"Schillings is a respected firm with a broad client portfolio. Ironically, the inaccurate information proves exactly why a legal advisor is hired: to clarify things and fight the spread of deliberate misinformation," they stated.
The hiring of Jenny Afia adds to a series of moves the couple has made to control the narrative about their private life. Afia is recognized for her work in high-profile cases, such as defending Meghan Markle in the privacy violation lawsuit.
With increasing public interest, Brooklyn and Nicola recently shared a dinner in Montecito, California, with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. The meeting, organized by friends Brian and Tracy Robbins, was described by People as a cordial and friendly gathering.
Brooklyn Beckham reportedly hired Meghan Markle's lawyer
Meanwhile, the relationship between Brooklyn and Nicola and the Beckham family remains tense. Since the beginning of their marriage, differences with David and Victoria Beckham have been evident. One of the first conflicts arose over Nicola's choice of wedding dress.
These tensions have persisted to the point that Brooklyn and Nicola have avoided attending major family events. Such as David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebration.
Despite these difficulties, sources close to the family assure that "the relationship is definitely not irreparable. They love him and they're always there for him. They're just hurt and disappointed because he's not currently part of the family life," People reported.
Brooklyn has also made his priorities clear publicly. On Instagram, he posted a message stating that "he would always choose his wife," further fueling rumors about a possible distance from his parents.
This situation shows how the couple faces pressures both privately and publicly. The decision to hire a specialized lawyer is a clear indicator that Brooklyn and Nicola are committed to carefully managing their image.
