Tensions within the Beckham family appear to be far from settled. Amid reports of an ongoing rift involving Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz, a new development has reportedly left David Beckham heartbroken.
According to reports, Brooklyn has taken the drastic step of covering up a tattoo dedicated to his father, a move that has allegedly deeply affected the former football star. The Beckham family is well known for expressing love through tattoos, making the decision all the more emotional.
Brooklyn reportedly removes ‘Dad’ tattoo
As per Daily Mirror, Brooklyn Beckham has reportedly had laser treatment to fade a tattoo on his right bicep that featured an anchor with the word “Dad”, symbolising his bond with David Beckham. Reports also suggest that Brooklyn may have altered or removed another tattoo reading “Love You Buster”, a nickname closely associated with his father—though this detail is yet to be officially confirmed.
A source quoted by The Sun claimed, “Brooklyn’s handwriting tattoo was treated with laser treatment. He wanted it gone.” The insider further alleged that Brooklyn has been emotionally affected by recent family dynamics, adding that it would be unrealistic for him to carry such a tribute during a period of pain.
David Beckham ‘gutted’ by the decision
Another source told Metro that David Beckham has been deeply saddened by his son’s choice.
“David is clearly hurt by Brooklyn’s decision to hide the tribute. It feels like a deep emotional blow,” the source said, adding that despite everything, David has chosen not to escalate the situation publicly.
This development comes after reports that David described Brooklyn’s earlier, lengthy Instagram post addressing family issues as a “mistake,” after which he decided to stay silent and allow his son to move forward on his own terms.
Tattoos and family symbolism
David Beckham himself has several tattoos dedicated to his children, including the well-known “Buster” tattoo, which refers to Brooklyn. Brooklyn, too, has shared similar ink in the past, including an eagle tattoo on his wrist, inspired by his father.
However, reports note that Brooklyn has previously covered up other family-related tattoos as well, including “Mama’s Boy”, a reference to his mother Victoria Beckham, and another tattoo featuring the word “Mum” inside a heart, which was reportedly altered last year.
As speculation around the Beckham family feud continues, neither Brooklyn nor David has officially commented on the tattoo reports.
