Brooklyn Beckham takes a swipe at mom Victoria by covering up 'mama's boy' tattoo amid family feud

LONDON, UK: Brooklyn Beckham’s latest tattoo reveal has fueled speculation about ongoing tensions within the Beckham family particularly with his mother, Victoria.

In a new Glamour photoshoot, the 26-year-old model and aspiring chef appeared shirtless, and fans quickly noticed that his well-known “mama’s boy” tattoo seemed less visible than before.

Brooklyn Beckham’s tattoo update sparks fresh talk amid family rift

Previously a standout tribute to Victoria Beckham, the ink on his chest now appears partially obscured by floral artwork, which eagle-eyed fans believe resembles Nicola Peltz’s wedding bouquet.

A heart-shaped “Mum” tattoo on his shoulder also appears to have been layered over with bold new imagery, including a dragon and more flowers.

While the timing of the tattoo change raised eyebrows given long-rumored tensions between Victoria and daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz, a source close to Brooklyn insisted the move wasn’t intended as a slight.

“Anyone can look at the photo and see ‘mama’s boy’ is still right there. It was never covered up,” the insider told Page Six.

Brooklyn has gone all out to show his love for his wife, reportedly dedicating over 70 tattoos to her, including her portrait, to their wedding vows. While he already had his last name inked in bold gothic lettering just above his belly button, he later added “Peltz” in elegant cursive higher up on his chest, possibly as a tribute to their shared identity as a couple.

Neither Brooklyn nor Victoria has publicly commented, but the update comes amid mounting reports of friction behind the scenes. Rumors of a falling-out began shortly after Brooklyn and Nicola’s lavish 2022 Florida wedding, where Victoria reportedly clashed with the bride.

Brooklyn and his younger brother Romeo reportedly aren’t on speaking terms, and social media interactions between Romeo, Cruz, and Nicola have hinted at further division. One source even claimed that the Beckham parents were described as “narcissistic” by an insider.

One user weighed in, “Brooklyn look like her puppy.” 

“He seems like an ungrateful brat. However, he is married, so mum needs to step back. His wife is his first priority now, but he has to always remember—wives can come and go, but you only have one mother,” another commented.

Another user slammed the couple, “A couple who are only famous because of their parents.”

One comment took direct aim at Brooklyn’s marriage: “Weak, silver spoon British man marries older, fame hungry American woman sums up Brooklyn & Nicola's relationship.”

One user chimed in, “Ridiculous! The only reason anyone is interested in them in the first place is because of who their mum and dad are!”

Another user added, “Will never be a power couple as neither of them have actually achieved anything.”
