Brooklyn Beckham Reveals Tattoo Tribute to Dad David

Brooklyn Beckham displayed his covered up tattoo tribute to his father David during an outing in Los Angeles with his wife Nicola Peltz on Wednesday.

Last month the estranged son of Sir David, 50, and Victoria, 51, released a scathing statement where he publicly said he did not wish to reconcile with his family.

Brooklyn, 26, has now delivered another crushing blow to his father by altering his tattoo tribute to him.

The hot sauce owner's large anchor tattoo that he has inked onto his upper right arm once carried the words 'dad' through it.

Directly underneath is the message 'Love you Bust' - David's endearing nickname for his first born.

However, on his outing with Nicola, Brooklyn's tattoo had been altered with the original 'dad' altered to nondescript shapes and a star.

His dad's nickname text is also faded and less prominent.

It also appears that Brooklyn has begun to remove his tattoo tributes to his siblings Romeo and Cruz, after having them added to his fingers in 2020.

During the outing, a thick line could be seen where Romeo's name used to be on Brooklyn's ring finger.

Brooklyn cut a casual figure in a white T-shirt and blue jeans as he held hands with his wife who was dressed in jeans and a cream crop top.

Just a day previous, David's 'Buster' neck tattoo he had done in 2015 to honour his son was visible during his visit to Doha.

Last year, Brooklyn had his 'mama's boy' chest tattoo tribute for his Spice Girl mother Victoria covered up.

Nicola's billionaire father Nelson spoke about the family drama when he did a Q and A at WSJD's Invest Live in West Palm Beach event on Tuesday. ⁠

Nelson said: 'My daughter and the Beckhams are a whole other story and that's not for coverage here today. But I'll tell you my daughter is great, my son-in-law Brooklyn is great and I look forward to them having a long, happy marriage together.'

Nelson was also asked if he gave the couple advice in how to navigate a difficult situation. He replied: 'I do. Sometimes they give me advice.'

Nicola's father's wealth eclipses that of his co-parents-in-law, with the businessman boasting a net worth of $1.6billion, in comparison to the Beckhams' $680million.

The Beckhams have maintained a stoic silence since Brooklyn released a damning statement in which he outlined his reasons for cutting ties with his family.

Brooklyn's parents and his siblings Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14, instead put on their own show of unity at Haute Couture Fashion Week in Paris.

As the Beckham family were in France, Brooklyn and Nicola splashed out on dinner and wine at Meghan and Harry's favourite California hotel.

The young couple were pictured kissing at the San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito.

San Ysidro Ranch is just around the corner from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who have also spent nights there.

There was a bottle of red open on the table and Brooklyn shared some pictures from the wine cellar, including one of the world's finest, and most expensive dessert wines, worth £17,000 a bottle.

It is not known if the Peltz Beckhams bought the 1831 Château d'Yquem or the 1811 vintage next to it, which last sold at auction in 2012 for around £75,000.

Although if reports of Nicola's £1million-a-month allowance from her billionaire father are to be believed, they could no doubt afford both.

Whatever they drank, the couple put on a show of unity - and romance - with a set of Instagram photos of their stay at San Ysidro, which can cost up to $2,595 a night.

In his statement, Brooklyn went as far as to say he has been 'controlled by a family that values public promotion above all else' and that since being with his wife Nicola, he has found 'peace and relief' after battling crippling anxiety.

He wrote: 'I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private.

There was no sign of trouble as David and Victoria joined three of their children in Paris at the end of January - the family's first appearance since Brooklyn's scathing statement

'Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.

'I do not want to reconcile with my family. I'm not being controlled, I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life.

'For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family.

'The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.

'Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they'll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.'

He continued: 'My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn't stopped.

'My mum cancelled making Nicola's dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress.

'Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children.

'They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated.

'My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since.'

While his parents are said to be 'devastated' by his comments, a source close to them said they would 'welcome Brooklyn back into the fold' should he wish to reconcile in the future.

I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.

I do not want to reconcile with my family. I'm not being controlled, I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life. For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.

Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they'll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.

My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn't stopped. My mum cancelled making Nicola's dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress.

Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children.

They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated. My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since.

During the wedding planning, my mum went so far as to call me "evil" because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra, and Nicola's Naunni at our table, because they both didn't have their husbands. Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours.

The night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was "not blood" and "not family." Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I've received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders.

Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last Summer.

My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song. In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead.

She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I've never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life. We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment.

My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we've tried to come together as one. My mum has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable.

Despite this, we still travelled to London for my dad's birthday and were rejected for a week as we waited in our hotel room trying to plan quality time with him. He refused all of our attempts, unless it was at his big birthday party with a hundred guests and cameras at every corner.

When he finally agreed to see me, it was under the condition that Nicola wasn't invited. It was a slap in the face. Later, when my family travelled to LA, they refused to see me at all.

My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first. Family "love" is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo opp, even if it's at the expense of our professional obligations.

We've gone out of our way for years to show up and support at every fashion show, every party, and every press activity to show 'our perfect family.' But the one time my wife asked for my mum's support to save displaced dogs during the LA fires, my mum refused.

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.

I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief. My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.
