David Beckham shares emotional tribute to Brooklyn after brutal tattoo removal

Sir David Beckham has posted a tribute to his children, including Brooklyn Beckham, following his eldest son’s explosive tell-all statement.

Last month, the budding chef and former photographer, 26, made a string of shocking claims about his parents, Sir David and Victoria Beckham.

Taking to Instagram with several Stories of text, Brooklyn accused them of ‘controlling’ him and repeatedly ‘disrespecting’ his wife of four years, Nicola Peltz, 31.

What’s more, Brooklyn said his mum pulled out of designing the actress’ wedding dress ‘at the eleventh hour’ before dancing on him ‘inappropriately’, while his footie legend father ‘refused’ to see him unless Nicola was uninvited around the time of his 50th birthday bash.

Vowing to ‘tell the truth’ and ‘stick up for [himself]’ at long last, Brooklyn declared defiantly that he ‘does not wish to reconcile’ with his family, only increasing the distance between them after months of feud rumours.

But now it seems David is reaching out to his son online, posting a picture of his huge collection of football boots.

He shared snaps of his archive with fans, who noted Brooklyn and his siblings’ names, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper, were embroidered onto the boots.

The images seemed particularly poignant, given the recent news that a tattoo of an anchor on Brooklyn’s arm that previously read ‘DAD’ has been covered up by unknown symbols.

Previously, a source told Metro that David is ‘obviously heartbroken’ at this latest snub from his oldest child.

‘David is obviously heartbroken over Brooklyn’s decision to cover up his tribute to him,’ our source shared.

‘It feels like a deep cut, even after everything that was said in his statement.

In his memoir, Sir David said his tattoos were an ‘expression of how he feels about Victoria and the kids,’ and it’s been clear over the years that Brooklyn has used tattoos to express similar sentiments about the people in his life.

A source told The Sun about Brooklyn’s anchor tattoo: ‘Brooklyn’s had laser treatment on the writing. He wanted it gone.

‘There is so much hurt and pain on his side, it would not be genuine to keep such a tribute on his body.’

The timing of David’s sharing of images of the football boots has left many wondering whether he’s trying to make a statement about his ongoing love and support for his son.
