Nicola Peltz thanked her husband Brooklyn Beckham for "always believing" in her while receiving the Rising Star award at the Kinéo Awards on Saturday night (05.09.26).

The model turned actress was presented with the honour at the awards during the Venice Film Festival thanks to her role in indie drama Prima, in which she stars as a ballerina, alongside Faye Dunaway.

Wearing a simple black gown, a visibly nervous Nicola began her acceptance speech by saying: "Hi everyone. I am normally more comfortable playing a character as an actor than standing in front of an audience, so please bear with me.

"Thank you so much for this immense honour. To receive an award at the Venice Film Festival is something I will carry with me for the rest of my career."

Nicola paid tribute to Faye, calling her an "inspiration", before going on to thank her family and husband.

She continued: "My family are my everything. My mum, dad, (brothers) Diesel and Brad and Brooklyn thank you. You always believe in me.

"To have your support is the reason I can reach to the stars in the first place."

Brooklyn could be seen beaming with pride as he watched Nicola on stage, with the awards ceremony coming amid his ongoing, long-running feud with his parents David and Victoria, and siblings Cruz, Romeo and Harper.

The estrangement was once again evident as Cruz paid tribute to his family, and girlfriend Jackie Apostel, in a gushing post on social media - thanking his nearest and dearest for supporting him and his band as they performed at the Reading and Leeds music festivals.

Alongside a picture of himself with Jackie and the rest of the Beckham clan - minus Brooklyn - Cruz wrote: "I am so grateful for everyone around me, not only are they my best friends but they are family, this journey has been so incredible and I have learned so much because of these people.

"Last but definitely not least Jackie, you honestly have no idea how lucky we are to have you, not only do you take care of me but this whole operation, from creative to strategy to mgmt.

"We are a team and would not be doing this without you. I really love you so much."
