Romeo and Cruz Beckham send a pointed message in ink as Brooklyn continues to change his tattoos amid family tensions.
The 23-year-old model Romeo recently debuted a new design on the back of his neck, featuring the word “Family” above a cross flanked by angel wings. The work was done at London’s Fine Line Hearts Club, which has tattooed the Beckham brothers several times.
Social media observers noted the timing, given Brooklyn’s recent public statement criticizing “Brand Beckham” and calling out his family for “inauthentic relationships.” Many interpreted Romeo’s tattoo as a subtle jab at his older brother.
Cruz, 20, has also expanded his collection, honoring his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 30, with a small “J” on his ribs. The couple went public in October 2024 and Jackie was welcomed into the Beckham family and attended fashion events with Cruz and Romeo’s girlfriend, DJ Kim Turnbull.
The new tattoos come as the 26-year-old Brooklynite has removed or covered up tributes to his family, including a chest tattoo that reads “Mama’s boy” and an anchor on his arm dedicated to his father, David Beckham. Brooklyn now reportedly has symbols in place of the letters “Dad” and also reportedly covered in ink in honor of his siblings.
Brooklyn remains in the US with his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, and has stated that he has no plans to reconcile with his family.
