Brooklyn Beckham’s new tattoo hides a secret message to Victoria and David in latest family feud twist

Brooklyn Beckham has unveiled a love letter tattooed in tribute to wife Nicola Peltz amid ongoing reports of a rift with his parents, David and Victoria Beckham.

In a post shared to Instagram on Wednesday, the 26-year-old showed off a piece of body art featuring a message Nicola wrote before their 2022 wedding.

The handwritten note, permanently inked on his body, reads: “My forever boy. Read this anytime you feel anxious.

“I want you to know how deeply loved you are. You have the kindest heart I’ve ever met and hope I never go a day without your love. I think you are so incredible.”

It ends: “Just know we can get through it all together if you breathe slow and trust. I love you beyond. Love always, your future wifey.”

The tattoo is one of dozens Brooklyn has dedicated to Nicola, who he married in a lavish ceremony in Florida in 2022.

In a recent shoot for Glamour, eagle-eyed fans noticed that Brooklyn had altered a tattoo once dedicated to his mother.

The original ink, reading "mama’s boy" over his heart, now appears to be covered by a large floral design, believed to represent Peltz’s wedding bouquet.

Brooklyn is said to have around 100 tattoos — with around 70 of them dedicated to Nicola and her family.

His new tattoo comes amid reports that his relationship with his family has become so strained that he now "wants no contact" with them.

The aspiring chef and his wife, Nicola Peltz, 30, have been at the centre of a highly publicised feud with his parents. That rift now appears to extend to his siblings Romeo, Cruz, and Harper — with whom he was once very close.

David, 50, is expected to be knighted by King Charles this Friday. While a source claims Brooklyn is "thrilled" for his father, saying the honour has been a long time coming, they allege he only learned of the news via media reports — not directly from his family.

A source close to the Beckhams told Page Six: “Brooklyn told his family he wants no contact and he’s not responding to those that try to connect.”

However, a source close to Brooklyn denied this narrative, saying: “Everyone’s focus should be David Beckham’s great honour.”

Brooklyn and Peltz married in April 2022, and tensions between Peltz and Victoria have reportedly simmered ever since. The pair were notably absent from David’s 50th birthday celebrations last month.
