Romeo Beckham has attracted attention for a very personal gesture, revealing a new ‘Family’ tattoo at a time when tensions within the Beckham household are still in the public eye.
The 23-year-old model shared a black-and-white photo showing the back of his head, with the word “Family” tattooed high on his neck, just above an intricate cross with angel wings.
The snap was first posted by his tattoo artist on Instagram on February 8 and later re-shared by Romeo on his own Stories, with the artist highlighting the design alongside a red heart.
The timing of the tattoo has not gone unnoticed.
It comes just weeks after Romeo’s older brother, Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, made a rare and emotional public statement about his relationship with the rest of the family.
Brooklyn, who married Nicola Peltz Beckham in 2022, accused his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, of repeatedly interfering in his marriage.
“Trying to no end to ruin my relationship since before my wedding and it hasn’t stopped,” Brooklyn wrote in a lengthy Instagram post on Jan. 19.
He went on to claim: “My mum canceled the making of Nicola’s dress at the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to quickly find a new dress.”
Brooklyn added, “My wife has consistently been respected by my family, no matter how hard we’ve tried to come together as one.”
David and Victoria Beckham have not publicly responded to Brooklyn’s claims.
However, the situation was briefly addressed by Nicola’s father, billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz, during an appearance at The Wall Street Journal‘s Invest Live event in West Palm Beach, Florida on February 3.
When asked about the recent headlines surrounding his family, he joked: “Has my family been in the press recently? I haven’t noticed at all.”
Nelson also shared advice he’s given his children about dealing with media attention, saying, “My advice is to stay away from the press. How much good does that do?”
While he made it clear that he would not be commenting directly on the reported feud involving the Beckham family, he stressed that his focus remains on his daughter’s happiness.
“My daughter and the Beckhams are a completely different story,” he said.
“It’s not for coverage here today, but I will tell you that my daughter is amazing, my son Brooklyn is amazing, and I look forward to them having a long, happy marriage together.”
While the wider family remains silent, Romeo’s new tattoo has been widely interpreted by fans as a quiet but pointed statement.
Whether intentional or not, the simple word etched into his skin has added another layer to an already complex and closely watched family moment.
