Romeo Beckham 'takes swipe' at Brooklyn with cryptic tattoo after 'blocking' his brother

Romeo Beckham appeared to take a swipe at his brother Brooklyn with his cryptic new tattoo.

The brothers have been locked in a rumoured feud for months, with Romeo, 22, and his younger brother Cruz, 20, recently ”blocking” Brooklyn, 26, on Instagram.

The savage move came hours after Brooklyn wished their sister Harper a happy 14th birthday - after ignoring major family events and social media milestones for months.

And Romeo appeared to hint at his mindset when it comes to the apparent rift by getting “C’est la vie” inked on his shoulder.

The tattoo, which was inked in cursive text, translates from French to English as “That’s life,” and could hint that the model isn’t bothered about the family tensions.

Romeo shared several black and white photos of his new tattoo on his Instagram Story on Tuesday.

Last month, fans noticed that Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, were no longer following Romeo and Cruz on Instagram.

Sources close to Brooklyn later told The Standard the couple were “likely blocked” by his younger siblings in the latest savage twist to the Beckham feud rumours.

It comes after reports that Brooklyn and Nicola distanced themselves from his family because they don’t trust Romeo’s ex-girlfriend Kim Turnbull - who Brooklyn reportedly dated when they were teenagers.

Cruz denied the rumours on his brother’s behalf in April, writing in a comment to a fan on Instagram, “Brooklyn and Kim never dated.”

Romeo and Kim, who began dating in November, split in June.

Kim, who is a DJ and model, later denied ever dating Brooklyn, insisting their relationship was nothing more than a “school friendship”.

“I've avoided speaking on this topic to prevent adding fuel to the fire,” she began.

“However, it's come to a point where I feel the need to address it so I can move on. I will not continue to receive harassment or be embarrassed on the basis of lies, to fit a certain narrative.

“I have never been romantically involved in ANY capacity at ANY point with the person in question.

“Nothing between us has occurred further than a school friendship at age 16. I would like to remove myself from the ongoing conversation and set the record straight for the sake of everyone involved.”

Brooklyn and Nicola, who live in Los Angeles, first sparked rift rumours by missing several major family events.

They skipped Victoria’s 51st birthday in Miami in April and David’s four extravagant 50th birthday celebrations a month later.

Brooklyn intensified the gossip by saying he will “always choose” Nicola in a “pointed message” to his partner in June.
