At the same time that Brooklyn has continued to ignore his own parents, he gushed over his father-in-law with a special birthday message. </p>
<p id=”par-2_24″>On June 24, David and Victoria’s oldest son celebrated the 84th birthday of <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/nicola-peltzs-parents-billionaires-influential-political-donors.html/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Nicola’s dad, Nelson Peltz</a>, with posts on social media. </p>
<p id=”par-3_55″>In one photo shared on his Instagram Stories with his arm around Nelson at a family party, Brooklyn wrote, “Happy birthday Nelson x I love u so much. I’m so happy I could celebrate you today! Thank you for being the best father-in-law.” The Cloud23 Hot Sauce founder added heart emojis to the caption. </p>

<p id=”par-4_63″>Many saw Brooklyn’s post as a dig at his own family amid their ongoing rift, but what is his body language saying about the family tensions? Where is he truly happy? An expert is now weighing in after comparing the snaps of Brooklyn with his in-laws to pics of him with the Beckhams before the feud, to see what his body language reveals.</p>
<p id=”par-5_48″>Inbaal Honigman is an astrologer and body language expert. She has appeared in the media for more than 20 years, offering her expertise and perspectives on current events and pop culture figures for several outlets, including <em>Big Brother’s Little Brother</em>, Elle Magazine, and talkSPORT radio, to name a few.</p>
<p id=”par-6_77″>Speaking on behalf of <a href=”https://www.casino.org/us/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Casino.org</a>, Honigman told Showbiz Cheat Sheet, “Two main signs reveal how much more comfortable Brooklyn is with the Beckhams than with the Peltzes. First and foremost, Brooklyn’s cheeks tell the whole story. In photos with his famous parents and siblings, Brooklyn often favors a smoldering look. He either wears a neutral, emotionless facial expression that highlights his features, or a very faint smile on his lips while the rest of his face remains blank.”</p>

<p id=”par-7_51″>“With both options, Brooklyn opts for a calm, quiet expression, with low eyebrows, a smooth forehead, and relaxed cheeks. It’s quite a model-like pose, but not in a try-hard way. It’s effortless and effective for a publicity photo, especially in a family setting where everyone has to share the camera’s attention.”</p>
<p id=”par-8_68″>According to Honigman, “It isn’t necessarily the most joyful facial expression, but it is serene and peaceful. The eldest Beckham son feels at home with his birth family and knows he can be himself. It’s the expression of someone who knows he can simply show up and be loved. He doesn’t have to try too hard. However, his cheeks work much harder when he’s with Nicola’s family. </p>
<p id=”par-9_89″>“In photo after photo, it’s apparent that he rounds his cheeks when he’s around the Peltzes. This suggests that he’s trying to appear happier than he really is. He tries to project joy, gratitude, and reverence toward his in-laws. Those raised cheeks mimic the facial expression of a bigger, happier smile, but his eyes and lips are barely smiling. Together, his features create an uneven, insincere smile. This suggests that around Nicola’s family, Brooklyn feels as though he has to make an effort to seem more cheerful and grateful.”</p>

<p id=”par-10_41″>She added, “The other indication that Brooklyn is truly part of the Beckham brand, whether he wants to be or not, is the way he leans. In Beckham family photos, Brooklyn leans slightly toward his mother or his siblings, indicating empathy.”</p>
<p id=”par-11_41″>The expert concluded, “This shows that he loves and respects his family and knows they feel the same way about him. Leaning toward someone shows that you’re giving them your attention, and his easygoing, subtle lean reflects a close family bond.</p>
<p id=”par-12_64″>“However, around Nicola’s family, Brooklyn leans lower and deeper. His posture is almost like a bow, as though he feels beneath them and believes he has to work harder to earn their approval. When Brooklyn is with the Beckhams, he is one of the tribe. With the Peltzes, however, he appears to be an outsider looking for a way in, searching to be accepted.”</p>
