Brooklyn Beckham has shown he’s still hanging on to his tattoo tributes to his estranged siblings, despite covering up his inking about his dad David in the wake of their bitter feud.

The chef, 26, cut ties with his family in a scathing social media statement last month, declaring he has no plans to reconcile with his famous parents and accusing them of ‘controlling him for most of his life’.

Since then, Brooklyn has covered many of the tattoos he’s had in honour of his family, including a tribute to his father.

But it seems that all is not lost for the Beckham clan, as Brooklyn showed during an outing on Tuesday that he is yet to cover up two tattoos he’s had in honour of his siblings.

Stepping out with his wife Nicola Peltz and their four dogs, Brooklyn displayed his ‘brotherhood’ tattoo on his right leg.

While kicking the door open, he also displayed a ballerina tattoo on his calf, which he’d had in tribute to his little sister Harper, 14.

Despite his statement, Brooklyn was still publicly displaying two tattoos in tribute to his siblings, including a ballerina inking in honour of his sister Harper

Brooklyn’s ‘brotherhood’ tattoo matches the inkings his brothers Romeo and Cruz had in 2023, after visiting the fine line tattoo artist Pablo, also known by his online username Certified Letter Boy.

While Brooklyn and Romeo both have the design on their leg, Cruz has the inking on his hand. 

In 2018, Brooklyn had the large ballerina added to his calf in tribute to his sister Harper, who was just seven at the time.

He and David visited celebrity favourite Bang Bang Tattoos in New York City to have tattoo artist Mr. K ink the whimsical pointe dancer on the side of his right leg.

Mr K revealed that the design was in honour of Harper, as he shared a snap of the design with the caption: ‘@brooklynbeckham for his baby sister #brooklynbeckham #mrktattoo.’ 

Last week it was revealed that Brooklyn has covered up his tattoo tribute to David, having previously had the word Dad inked into his upper right arm.

Directly underneath was the message ‘Love you Bust’ – David’s endearing nickname for his first born.

However, pictures taken last week showed Brooklyn has covered it up with nondescript shapes and a star.

Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz famously got matching ‘brotherhood’ tattoos in 2023, and despite cutting ties with his family, the chef’s inking was still visible during an outing on Tuesday

It also appears that Brooklyn has begun to remove his tattoo tributes to his siblings Romeo and Cruz, as a thick line was visible on his ring finger

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

Brooklyn also previously had his siblings Romeo, Cruz and Harper’s names tattooed on his fingers, but recent images showed these have been covered up. 

Just one week ago his tats for them, which were inked on his arms and fingers, were visible in a cooking video.

But during an outing with Nicola, Brooklyn showed that the names have been inked over with a thick black line.

In stark contrast, Brooklyn’s numerous tattoos in honour of his wife Nicola are still prominently displayed on his body.

Brooklyn – a self-proclaimed tattoo addict – unveiled the words ‘mama’s boy’ on his chest in 2019 to honour his fashion designer mother Victoria. 

But last June, Brooklyn went shirtless for a shoot with Glamour Germany alongside Nicola – and the snaps were very revealing. 

Amid the then ongoing feud, the shoot for Glamour magazine revealed that Brooklyn has savagely chosen to cover up the tattoo tribute to Victoria.

The small two-word inking was layered at some point with a bunch of flowers – seemingly another tattoo tribute to his wife Nicola, of which he already has more than 70.

He has not commented on the reason for the inking being covered up.

On Tuesday, Brooklyn and Nicola were seen carrying their pampered pooches down the sidewalk as they treated them to a grooming session.

The outing was A pointed one as it comes just weeks after Brooklyn called his mother Victoria Beckham’s lack of support for dogs in his bombshell statement which saw him cut all ties with his family. 

In the post, Brooklyn claimed that Victoria snubbed Nicola’s request to support her attempts to help dogs during the LA fires last year, despite it being ‘the only time they had ever asked for anything’.

Rather than focus on supporting residents affected by the tragedy, the couple raised $59,000 for displaced dogs through the actress’s charity Yogi’s House to rescue animals affected by the blaze.

Brooklyn said in his astonishing statement: ‘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.’

LA was hit by devastating wildfires in January 2025, which claimed the lives of 31 people, forced over 200,000 people to evacuate and destroyed over 18,000 structures.

At the time, Nicola had shared on social media that she was working with her charity to organise an event to raise money for displaced animals during the fires.

The charity helps to save dogs from overcrowded LA shelters and euthanasia.

A GoFundMe was also set up to rescue pets in wildlife-affected areas and transport them to safe foster homes, and raised $59,444.

Despite his famous heritage and Nicola being the daughter of billionaire Nelson Peltz, the chef donated just $5,000 to the cause.

Nicola and Brooklyn shared snaps and posted live to Instagram from the Pendry Hotel in West Hollywood where brands donated items for those in need.

Victoria had previously shared her heartbreak over the blazes in a post on Instagram.

She wrote: ‘Seeing the devastation and loss caused by these wildfires is truly heartbreaking.

‘Los Angeles holds such a special place in our family’s hearts, and our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected, especially those who have lost their homes or loved ones.’

‘We are immensely grateful to the brave firefighters and first responders who are risking their lives to protect others. 

‘Please stay safe and look after each other during this devastating time. Victoria x.’

Brooklyn’s outing in Beverly Hills came hours after Marc Anthony finally broke his silence on the bombshell statement, insisting the way the family feud has played out ‘is hardly the truth’.   

The Latin singer, 57, spoke out three weeks after Brooklyn, 26, posted a scathing six-page Instagram statement in which he severed ties with his famous parents, Sir David, 50, and Victoria Beckham, 51. 

‘But I have nothing to say about what happened there. It’s extremely unfortunate how it’s playing out — but [how it’s playing out] is hardly the truth.’

Shared across multiple Instagram stories, Brooklyn claimed his parents had been ‘trying to ruin’ his relationship with Nicola and controlling him ‘for most of my life’.

According to Brooklyn, Marc called him on stage during the wedding and then called for Victoria to come dance with him, stealing the moment that had been carefully planned for Brooklyn and Nicola.

Reports say the singer even invited ‘the most beautiful woman in the room tonight’ to join him, and it wasn’t the bride Nicola, but Posh Spice, leaving guests completely aghast.

Nicola was left devastated by the three-minute dance to a love song performed on stage by Marc, and left the room in tears. 

Her family went after Nicola and Brooklyn looked humiliated and also went to find his new wife after the ‘awkward’ dance took place, said DJ Fat Tony who performed at the wedding.

Brooklyn Beckham’s statement in full

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.
