Brooklyn Beckham<\/a> appears to have removed a tattoo tribute to his father Sir David Beckham, marking another painful moment in the family rift<\/a> that has played out publicly in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old, who has become increasingly estranged from his famous parents, was previously tattooed with a large anchor on his upper right arm bearing the word \u201cdad\u201d, alongside the message \u201cLove you Bust\u201d \u2014 Sir David\u2019s long-standing nickname for his eldest son.<\/p>\n

However, recent photographs suggest the tribute has now been lasered off. The change comes just weeks after Brooklyn released a scathing public statement in which he said he did not wish to reconcile with his family.<\/p>\n

The timing is particularly poignant, as Sir David, 50, was seen only days earlier with his own \u201cBuster\u201d neck tattoo \u2014 inked in 2015 in honour of Brooklyn \u2014 still clearly visible during a trip to Doha.<\/p>\n

Brooklyn is the eldest child of David Beckham and Victoria Beckham<\/a>, who also share sons Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 20, and daughter Harper, 14.<\/p>\n

Last year, Brooklyn also covered up another family-related tattoo<\/a>, the words \u201cmama\u2019s boy\u201d inked across his chest in tribute to his mother.<\/p>\n

The apparent removal of the tattoo follows Brooklyn\u2019s explosive statement<\/a> last month, in which he accused his parents of controlling his public narrative and prioritising image over authenticity. He claimed that since marrying actress Nicola Peltz, he has found \u201cpeace and relief\u201d after years of anxiety.<\/p>\n

In the statement, Brooklyn alleged that his parents repeatedly interfered in his relationship and wedding plans, including claims that Victoria cancelled making Nicola\u2019s wedding dress at the last minute<\/a> and that his parents pressured him to sign away rights to his name shortly before the ceremony.<\/p>\n

While the Beckhams have not publicly responded, they were recently seen presenting a united front alongside their younger children at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week.<\/p>\n

Nicola\u2019s father, billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz, briefly addressed the situation<\/a> during a Q&A at WSJD\u2019s Invest Live event in Florida, saying he looked forward to Brooklyn and Nicola having \u201ca long, happy marriage\u201d but declined to discuss the family drama in detail.<\/p>\n

Sources close to Sir David and Victoria have previously said they are \u201cdevastated\u201d by Brooklyn\u2019s comments but would still welcome him back should he choose to reconcile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brooklyn Beckham appears to have removed a tattoo tribute to his father Sir David Beckham, marking another painful…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":123630,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,3247,100,99,6716,9,24,3248,63,10998,53945,53944,3246],"class_list":["post-123629","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-beckham","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-david-beckham","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nicola-peltz","tag-nyc","tag-sir-david","tag-tattoo","tag-tribute-to-dad","tag-victoria-beckham"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123629","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=123629"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123629\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/123630"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=123629"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=123629"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=123629"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
