Brooklyn Beckham completely erases tattoo dedicated to mum Victoria in brutal move
If fans were hoping for a reconciliation between Brooklyn and Victoria Beckham, they may have to wait a little longer as the Beckham child appears to have nearly erased a tattoo dedicated to his mum.
David and Victoria Beckham’s eldest son spoke publicly about their 'family feud' earlier this year, with a series of bombshell claims that raised plenty of eyebrows.
In his explosive statement, which was shared in January, he said in part: “The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards. I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared.”
Brooklyn reportedly became estranged from his famous mum, dad and siblings following his wedding to Nicola Peltz-Beckham in April 2022.

The aspiring chef and former aspiring photographer has all sorts of tattoos covering his body. Many of them once paid tribute to his family, including a ‘mama's boy’ tattoo on his chest, as well as a large anchor tattoo bearing the word ‘Dad’.
However, a recent shirtless picture shared on Instagram appears to show that the tribute to his mother has now been covered up.
The ‘mama's boy’ lettering has been replaced by another pec tatt, while a selfie showed that his anchor tribute to David had also been altered, with the ‘Dad’ lettering covered by a number of small shapes.
For now at least, his ‘Brotherhood’ tattoo appears to be staying put. Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz all have matching ink, while his ballerina tattoo, understood to be a tribute to Harper, also appears to remain untouched.
In 2022, the same year he and his wife tied the knot, Brooklyn revealed that he had around 70 tattoos dedicated to Nicola, including the word 'married' on the left side of his hand.
“I always love to surprise her with new ink,” he told USA Today.
In his bombshell statement in January, Brooklyn said he has no wish to reconcile with his parents amid the rift and accused his mum of dancing with him 'inappropriately', leaving his wife devastated.
He also alleged that his mum and dad attempted to derail his wedding, and claimed they tried to pressure him into signing away rights to his name amid what he described as their focus on protecting the ‘Brand Beckham’ image.
Victoria, also known as Posh Spice, seemingly addressed her son's claims in a statement released in April, saying that she and David had 'always tried to be the best parents that we can be'.
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, she revealed: “We’ve been in the public eye for more than 30 years now, and all we’ve ever tried to do is protect our children and love our children.”
Timeline of the Beckham family feud

On 9 April 2022, Brooklyn and Nicola got married in a lavish ceremony in front of 500 guests at her family's estate in Palm Beach, Florida, two years after getting engaged.
Aug 2022: The first reports of a feud between Nicola and Victoria Beckham
Just months after the wedding, media sources were starting to report on a 'full-on cold war' between Nicola and her new mum-in-law.
According to Page Six, 'the build-up to the wedding was horrendous' and they 'can’t stand each other and don’t talk'.
Reports also claimed much of the feud came from Nicola's decision to wear a Valentino wedding dress instead of a piece designed by Victoria's fashion house, but they appeared to quash these rumours.

In March 2023, the Beckhams seemed to be happier than ever and were posing for photos at Victoria's Paris fashion show.
April 2025: The family rift resurfaces
Two years on, it was reported that Brooklyn and Nicola had snubbed David's 50th birthday party at Cipriani Downtown Miami.
And then, just days later, TMZ claimed that Brooklyn and brother Romeo weren't speaking due to a fallout over Romeo's girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, who had a 'romantic connection' with Brooklyn 'several years ago'.
Cruz later insisted that Brooklyn and Kim had never actually dated, and in May of 2025, Brooklyn and Nicola were nowhere to be seen as the birthday celebrations for David continued.

In July 2025, Brooklyn and Nicola unfollowed Romeo and Cruz and vice versa.
August 2025: David and Victoria miss vow renewals
The following month, David and Victoria are reported not to have attended the Peltz-Beckham vow renewals.
And by December that year, it was reported that Brooklyn no longer followed his parents, and they no longer followed him, and the youngest brother was quick to set the record straight.
Dec 2025: Cruz speaks out
Cruz wrote on his Instagram Stories about the claims that he and his family had unfollowed Brooklyn: "NOT TRUE. My mum and dad would never unfollow their son … Let's get the facts right. They woke up blocked … as did I."
Jan 2026: Brooklyn takes legal action
In January 2026, it was claimed that Brooklyn sent a legal letter to his parents, insisting they only contact him via his lawyer; a rule which Victoria is believed to have broken when she 'liked' an Instagram post he made about a roast chicken.
Jan 2026: Brooklyn breaks silence on family feud

March 2026: David reaches out to Brooklyn
David shared a post to celebrate Brooklyn’s birthday, writing: "27 Today. Happy Birthday Bust. We love you."
He shared an old photo of Brooklyn as a child and tagged Victoria, but was unable to tag Brooklyn since his son has blocked him.
The post was met with stony silence from Brooklyn.
June 2026: Harper turns up at Brooklyn’s door
Harper, Brooklyn’s 14-year-old sister and the Beckhams’ youngest child, was photographed outside Brooklyn’s door hand-delivering a letter. Brooklyn and Nicola were believed to be in New York at the time.
A rep for the Peltz-Beckhams savagely responded: "That photographers were in place as the letter was hand delivered says it all - this was choreographed for the cameras."
Meanwhile, Brooklyn releases a DoorDash World Cup ad clearly taking a swipe at his family. He says in the commercial: “You’re probably wondering why I’m watching the FIFA World Cup 2026 from home. It’s a long story."
