Brooklyn Beckham 'covers up' tattoo dedicated to dad David after family feud

Brooklyn Beckham has 'covered up' part of a tattoo dedicated to his footballer father in the latest development of the family feud.

Back in January, the 26-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham confirmed long-running speculation of a family feud, accusing his parents of attempting to sabotage his relationship with his wife, Nicola Peltz, and saying he 'does not wish to reconcile' with his famous family.

"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," he said in the dramatic statement, which also included claims that mum Victoria had hijacked their first dance with an 'inappropriate' dance.

While David and Victoria are yet to respond directly to the allegations, Brooklyn has seemingly been inspired to make a permanent change to his body and 'cover up' part of a tattoo dedicated to the former Manchester United star.

According to a report from The Sun, the aspiring chef was spotted out with Nicola recently, with an anchor tattoo previously dedicated to his father that has since seemingly undergone several alterations.

The anchor, which is on Brooklyn's outer right bicep, previously featured a ribbon with 'DAD' written in capital letters. However, the letters now appear to have been covered by three nondescript shapes, which Page Six describes as a starfish and two life rings – a move which will certainly come as a blow to his father.

"Brooklyn’s had laser treatment on the writing," a source told the outlet. "He wanted it gone."

However, the 26-year-old hadn't touched the message 'Love you Bust' underneath, which is also believed to be a tribute to his father. David also has 'Buster' tattooed on his neck, a way in which father and son had previously honoured each other.

The source also claimed that Brooklyn had given a chest tattoo dedicated to Victoria the same treatment, adding: "To see Brooklyn covering up Victoria’s tattoo, and now the one he had for his dad, will sting.

"It seems very cruel and will add salt to the wounds."

They continued: "There is so much hurt and pain on his side, it would not be genuine to keep such a tribute on his body."

The revelation about the tattoo comes just days after Nicola's billionaire father Nelson Peltz appeared to break his silence on the feud. Speaking during a Q&A session at the WSJ Invest Live event in Florida, the businessman joked about his family name being in the press before revealing that his advice to Nicola and Brooklyn was to 'stay the hell out of the press'.

"My daughter and the Beckhams are a whole other story and that’s not for coverage here today," he said. "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."
