- Brooklyn Beckham shared an image of his tattoo that is based on a note from wife Nicola Peltz
- Peltz wrote the note to Beckham shortly before their 2022 wedding
- The Instagram post comes amid tensions in the Beckham family
Brooklyn Beckham is showing off his ink in homage to his wife Nicola Peltz amid tensions in the Beckham family.
Beckham, 26, shared an image of the tattoo on Instagram on Wednesday, June 11. The tattoo is based on a note that Peltz, 30, wrote to him before their wedding in April 2022. In the photo, the tattoo, just below Beckham’s neck on his upper back, is fully visible as the model wears a backwards baseball cap and holds a stack of Frette Italian-made towels.
The note, which was tattooed in an elegant calligraphy font, reads, “My forever boy. Read this anytime you feel anxious. I want you to know how deeply loved you are. You have the kindest heart I’ve ever met and hope I never go a day without your love. I think you are so incredible. Just know we can get through it all together if you breathe slow and trust. I love you beyond. Love always, your future wifey.”
The post of the tattoo comes amid recently resurfaced allegations surrounding the couple’s wedding. A source close to the Peltz family told PEOPLE exclusively in May that tensions between the couple finally came to a head after Victoria, 51, allegedly hijacked a dance at Brooklyn’s 2022 Palm Beach wedding to the actress — even though the couple had been planning on dancing to the song together.
“Marc Anthony, who is a friend of the Beckhams, offered to perform as a gift at the wedding,” the source explained. “Before the song began, Marc Anthony asked Brooklyn to come to the stage, and then announced, ‘The most beautiful woman in the room tonight, come on up…Victoria Beckham!'”
The source claimed that the new bride allegedly “felt that Victoria ruined her wedding, and couldn’t understand why.”

A second source additionally told PEOPLE, “It was such a jaw-dropping moment that it left the whole room in absolute shock — you could hear a pin drop.”
But another source who was also at the wedding had a different take on the evening: “Nicola and Brooklyn had their formal first dance early in the evening, and she also had the traditional first dance with her father,” the source said. At the time of the wedding, it was reported in the Daily Mail that the couple had their first dance to “Only Fools Rush In.” Their second dance was reportedly to the Ben E. King classic “Stand By Me.”
The source who attended the wedding says Marc Anthony’s performance was actually later in the evening: “Later on, when everyone was casual, Marc Anthony performed and got people dancing. Brooklyn and Victoria danced, David and Harper danced, and everyone had a great time.”
Meanwhile, another insider familiar with the matter says the wedding tension has been part of a pattern of an ongoing rift, claiming that Brooklyn and Nicola have been trying their best to remain on friendly terms with the duo.
“They’ve tried to make peace, but every time they finally have a happy moment, it all falls apart again,” the insider says.
The tensions in the family came to light when Beckham and Peltz were notably absent from his father David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebration on May 3.
