Eagle-eyed viewers have spotted that there may be a rift between Brooklyn and Victoria Beckham, and it's all because of a tattoo.

Once proudly etched over his heart, the words “mama’s boy” are now nowhere to be seen.
Instead? A blooming bouquet of flowers, which fans believe is a nod to his wife Nicola Peltz’s wedding bouquet.
The 26-year-old hot sauce mogul and chef showed off the updated ink in a new Glamour cover shoot.
With his shirt wide open and his chest fully on display, there’s no sign of the sentimental phrase - just a bold floral piece front and center.
Meanwhile, Nicola wraps a finger through his belt loop in a not-so-subtle power pose.
In another shot, Brooklyn ditches the shirt entirely, giving a clear view of the fresh tattoo makeover.
The new ink job marks a noticeable shift for Brooklyn, who reportedly has about 100 tattoos, around 70 of which are dedicated to Nicola, 30, and her side of the family.
The couple married in April 2022, but things haven’t exactly been smooth sailing between the Beckhams and the Peltzes.
In fact, rumors of a long-standing feud—especially between Victoria and Nicola—have been making the rounds ever since the wedding.
The drama hit a fresh high last month when Brooklyn and Nicola were noticeably absent from David Beckham’s lavish 50th birthday bash in London.

One insider told Daily Mail: “Victoria dislikes Nicola intensely and it’s been war behind the scenes pretty much ever since the wedding. It’s always been a tug of war about Brooklyn, and Victoria has not wanted to let go.”
The source didn’t stop there: “Victoria feels he has been absorbed into the Peltzes and that his life is all about that family... Even when Nicola and Brooklyn went out to Paris for Victoria’s fashion show, they stayed with her family because her mother likes to go to the couture shows.”
The insider even claimed the former Spice Girl has been losing sleep over the feud, calling it her “worst nightmare.”
Despite the friction, Brooklyn and Nicola are staying strong as a unit. A friend close to the couple told the Daily Mail: “Everything they do, they do together.”
That message came through loud and clear in their latest Glamour spread, which oozes “us against the world” energy.
Brooklyn also addressed the situation in the accompanying interview. “Don’t listen to all the nonsense. Keep your head down, work hard, stay friendly. There will always be people who talk. The important thing is that we’re happy together.”
