AceShowbiz - Brooklyn Beckham, 25, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 29, are reflecting on the life and legacy of Nicola's grandmother, Gina, who passed away on May 17. Known endearingly as "Naunni," Gina's memory was commemorated by heartfelt tributes from the couple, capturing a blend of happiness and sorrow.
On May 18, Brooklyn shared a poignant post on his Instagram. "Naunni thank you for being you. You were the sweetest and happiest person ever and you taught me to find joy in everything. Thank you for always making everyone smile, you made everyone's whose lives you touched infinitely better," he wrote, accompanied by a collection of fond photos and videos.
"I'm so lucky to have had the honour of being your grandson for the past 4 years. I promise to take care of Nicola and your family. I will miss you so much x I love you so much xxxxxxx [love emoji]."
Nicola followed with her own tribute a day later, expressing her disbelief and longing. "Dear my angel Naunni, I feel like I will never have the right words because I just don't believe you're gone. I really pray so hard you're at peace right now. I still don't understand where you went."
Nicola continued, "I'm sad you will never get to meet my kids, hug me, talk to me or watch any other movies I make. I'm so heartbroken and miss you so much. I'm so lucky you were my Naunni. You raised the most perfect daughter that I'm lucky enough to call my mom which is my biggest gift in life. You kept our family together and now I feel like we're all lost without you. Please send me a sign that you're close to me. And yes 'I love you more'. Love always, Your dolly, Nicky."
The sentiment was echoed by Nicola's brothers. Bradley Peltz, 34, first shared Gina's passing, noting, "Today, we lost my angel on earth. She was not only the happiest but one of my favorite souls I ever came across. She was the light that would brighten your day."
Similarly, Will Peltz, 37, penned his grief, "Your love was one of a kind, your smile was infectious and lit up the entire world. I love you deeply and forever Rest in Paradise my bunny my naunni."
Gina's cheerful spirit was a cornerstone of Nicola's life, a fact she poignantly reiterated: "Being with you is literally magic. I love being by your side. Thank you for teaching me how to love others so deeply and fiercely. There isn't a moment next to you I take for granted, your laugh is the best sound in the world and I want to hear it for the rest of my life."
Reflecting on a special moment, Nicola fondly recounted how Gina, her maid of honor, danced down the aisle at her 2022 wedding to Brooklyn, alleviating Nicola's jitters with her infectious joy.
The outpouring of love didn't stop there. Brooklyn's father, David Beckham, also paid tribute to Gina, highlighting her radiant smile and laughter. "To the most amazing lady with the most beautiful smile and laugh. Rest in peace Naunni," David wrote on Instagram.
As the Peltz and Beckham families navigate this loss, their shared memories and tributes remind us all of the deep bonds that can be formed and cherished between generations. Gina's legacy will continue to inspire and bring joy to those who loved her so dearly.
