Drama Father’s Day in the Beckham household has been a bittersweet affair, marked by heartfelt tributes to newly knighted David Beckham and continued speculation regarding the ongoing rift with eldest son Brooklyn. The day coincided with the official announcement of David’s knighthood in the King’s Birthday Honours list, a long-anticipated recognition for his services to sport and charity.
Victoria Beckham, the matriarch of the family, took to Instagram to share a gushing message for her husband, David, alongside a nostalgic video of him with their children singing “Sherry” by The Four Seasons. The post, which tagged all four of their children – Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper Seven – was seen by many as a subtle olive branch extended to Brooklyn amidst reports of his strained relationship with his parents. Victoria’s caption read, “Happy Father’s Day to the best daddy there is! You always lead with love and our beautiful children are a reflection of that. We all love you so, so much.”
David Beckham himself also addressed his role as a father, posting a message that seemed to acknowledge the family tensions. He stated, “My most important & favourite job in life is being a dad I’m so proud of all of you and like daddy (sorry boys) tells you every single day I will always be here for you no matter what.” This overt expression of unwavering support was interpreted as a clear message to Brooklyn, who has reportedly told his family he “wants no contact” and has been unresponsive to their attempts to connect.
Brooklyn’s Silence and Tattoo Revelation
Adding fuel to the ongoing “feud,” Brooklyn Beckham remained notably silent on social media regarding both Father’s Day and his father’s knighthood. This silence follows his absence from David’s 50th birthday celebrations last month, which intensified speculation about the widening chasm between Brooklyn and his family.
Further alarming fans, it has recently come to light that Brooklyn, 27, has covered up his “mama’s boy” tattoo, which was a clear tribute to his mother, Victoria. The original inking, reportedly over his heart, has now been replaced by a large floral design that is said to mirror his wife Nicola Peltz’s bridal bouquet from their 2022 wedding. This comes alongside a new tattoo of a handwritten love letter from Nicola, permanently inked on his back, emphasizing his devotion to her. Sources suggest Brooklyn has accumulated around 100 tattoos, with approximately 70 dedicated to Nicola and her family.
The “feud” is widely believed to have begun during Nicola and Brooklyn’s wedding in 2022. Reports at the time suggested friction between Nicola and Victoria, particularly concerning Nicola not wearing a Victoria Beckham design for the ceremony. While the families initially tried to downplay the rumors, recent actions, including Brooklyn’s tattoo cover-up and his continued absence from significant family events, indicate a deeper, more persistent estrangement.
Knighthood for David Beckham
In a joyous counterpoint to the family drama, David Beckham was officially knighted in King Charles III’s Birthday Honours list, released on Friday, June 14. The former England captain, 50, was recognized for his immense contributions to sport and his extensive charity work, particularly with UNICEF. This honour means that his wife, Victoria, will now formally be known as Lady Beckham.
Beckham, who was previously appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 2003, expressed his deep gratitude for the knighthood. “Growing up in East London with parents and grandparents who were so patriotic and proud to be British, I never could have imagined I would receive such a truly humbling honour,” he stated.

As the Beckhams navigate this period drama of both public recognition and private discord, fans and media alike will be watching closely drama to see if the drama family can ultimately reconcile their differences.
