Romeo Beckham has expanded his extensive tattoo collection, an act that coincides with a deepening rift within the famous family. The 23-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham got fresh ink on Sunday, just as it was revealed his older brother Brooklyn has blocked the entire family on Instagram.
A Growing Collection of Ink
Romeo, who now boasts over 70 tattoos, shared a shirtless photo showcasing his gym-honed physique prior to the session. He was dressed only in a pair of joggers and a graphic beanie cap, bearing a striking resemblance to his football legend father. The new artwork adds to a patchwork of designs on his arm.
This year alone, Romeo has added several pieces, including the numbers '11:11' behind his ear, a fairy on his left arm, and a winged cherub on his ankle. His father, David, is also a tattoo enthusiast with over 80 designs, including his children's names on his back and the number '99' on his finger marking Brooklyn's birth year and his marriage to Victoria.
The Instagram Block That Signals Estrangement
The tattoo revelation comes amid a very public family dispute. Sources close to David and Victoria Beckham have insisted they would never unfollow their eldest son, Brooklyn, on social media. Instead, they believe the 26-year-old influencer has blocked them, a move described as a sign of his 'complete estrangement' from the family.
"David and Victoria will never stop loving Brooklyn," a source stated. "They are devastated at this fallout. So far from this being them, it appears that Brooklyn has blocked them to show them that's it, this is final."
The block severs what friends say was their last connection to Brooklyn, as he has reportedly not spoken to his parents for many months. Brooklyn's wife, Nicola Peltz, 30, also does not follow David and Victoria, and they no longer follow her.
Christmas Plans Highlight the Divide
The Instagram drama unfolds just days before Christmas, highlighting the physical separation within the family. Brooklyn will not join his parents and younger siblings—Romeo, Cruz, and Harper—at the Beckhams' £10 million Cotswolds home.
Instead, he and Nicola are expected to spend the festive period with her family in Miami, Florida. A source confirmed: "Brooklyn and Nicola decided they would be spending this Christmas with her family. Her parents are really excited to have them."
The situation was publicly addressed by younger brother Cruz, 20, who refuted claims that his parents had unfollowed Brooklyn. On his Instagram Story, Cruz clarified: "My mum and dad would never unfollow their son... Let's get the facts right. They woke up blocked... as did I." This public statement is the clearest indication yet of the communication breakdown and ongoing feud within one of Britain's most famous families.
