Brooklyn Beckham has covered up a tattoo tribute to his mother Victoria amid reports of an ongoing 'family feud'.
David and Victoria's eldest son, who boasts over 100 inkings, recently posed for topless photos as part of his Glamour Germany interview alongside his wife Nicola Peltz.
While the budding chef's elaborate inkings were on full display, there was one special tattoo across his chest that was almost indiscernible: a quote that read 'mama's boy'.

It's since been reported that tensions first erupted back in 2022 ahead of Brooklyn's nuptials to Nicola. According to reports, Transformers actress Nicola had planned to wear a dress crafted by the former Spice Girl's eponymous label.

She went on to say that David and Victoria were "great in-laws" and added that it "hurt her feelings" when it emerged that she had "never planned" to wear a gown by Victoria.

January 19 - Brooklyn has broken his silence on the family feud rumours with a lengthy Instagram story. He shared his version of events with his 16 million followers and stated that he has no desire to reconcile with his parents.
Earlier this week, musician Cruz, 20, shared a post to his Instagram Stories that read: "It takes 43 muscles in your face to frown and 17 to smile. Be kind and tell the truth."

His caption read: "I love my family, I love you guys more than anything, mum & dad, you gave us life and cared for us no matter what, I cannot tell you how blessed we all are to have you in our lives x".
Cruz's post came after Brooklyn seemingly sided with his wife in a defiant post. Taking to Instagram towards the end of May, the star shared a video of himself and Nicola riding a motorbike down a road lined with palm trees.
In what appeared to be a subtle dig at his parents, Brooklyn penned: "My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you're the most amazing person I know xx me and you forever baby."
