Please tell me it's the real deal? I want to believe." Despite the many other insights I pick up over the course of two days with 28-year-old actor Nicola Peltz Beckham, this is the one question friends and colleagues relentlessly pester me with. Not about Nicola's secret to a razor-sharp jawline (a pre-shoot sculpting treatment with hyper-exclusive facial studio Sous La Face), not about what surprised me most about her (possibly that she doesn't have a driver's license), and not even about her high-profile friendship with Selena Gomez (keep reading for that). No, it seems the thing on everyone's mind is a genuine desire for confirmation that her love story is not, in fact, too charmed to be real.
There are the near-daily Instagram posts ("Happy birthday Nicola...I love you so so much baby"; "I'm the luckiest man I get to have you as my valentines every year forever"), the IG bios ("Nicola's husband" and "Brooklyn's wife"), the tattoos (at last count, Brooklyn had more than 20-20!-in her honor). That planet-size rock on her finger and the multimillion-dollar Palm Beach dream wedding. It's enough to make you go, "Okay, but really?" (And we all know those statistics, don't we, that show a negative correlation between the high price of wedding ring and the success of a marriage.) Still, for some reason, it's hard not to wish this particular couple well rather than want to pettily tear them apart.

One summer 2009 night, Julia's manager pulled her aside. A silver-haired gentleman's date was being kind of loud and messy-Julia should intervene, be extra nice to him. She got the okay to take the man up to the roof for a quiet smoke. This guy must be a big deal, she thought.
