Brooklyn Beckham might have made headlines by erasing a tattoo dedicated to his father, Sir David Beckham, but he remains unashamedly proud of flaunting the extravagant £220,000 watch his dad gifted him during a night out in Los Angeles.
Recently, the 26-year-old, who is carving out a career as a chef, issued a blunt statement, announcing his desire to distance himself from his family after a significant dispute.
In spite of the tattoo drama, Brooklyn drew attention to his wrist on Sunday evening, stepping out with his wife, Nicola Peltz, on a grand date night.
The pair appeared in high spirits, holding hands, as Brooklyn displayed his ‘favorite watch,’ a rose-gold Patek Philippe Nautilus. This timepiece, reportedly valued at $300,000, was a gift from Sir David on his 21st birthday.
As they arrived for their dinner, the couple’s flair for luxury was evident. They brought along their own wine, including vintage bottles like a 1992 Château Margaux priced over £2,200 and a 1989 Château Latour valued at approximately £800.
The hot sauce owner dressed smart in a white shirt and black trousers while actress Nicola showed off her toned figure in a white crop top, low rise jeans and a pair of sunglasses.
Brooklyn Beckham may have boldly covered up his tattoo tribute for his dad Sir David, but he is still happy to rock the £220,000 watch he gifted him during a night out in Los Angeles

Last month, the aspiring chef released a scathing statement where he publicly said he did not wish to reconcile with his family following a huge fallout
Brooklyn previously proudly gushed over his watch collection after receiving two luxury items from his dad David.
Speaking to British GQ in September 2024, he said: ‘My dad got me this one I call it the Rolex Pepsi [£16,000] and I really like the vintage Rolex’s.
‘I’m lucky enough to have one Patek that my dad bought me for my 21st birthday, which is my favourite watch and I only wear for special events.
‘My mother-in-law has also bought me and my wife matching Cartier Santos, [£28,000] the old school square one which we wear together sometime.’
It comes after Brooklyn delivered another crushing blow to his father as he altered his large anchor tattoo that he has inked onto his upper right arm once carried the words ‘dad’ through it.
Directly underneath is the message ‘Love you Bust’ – David’s endearing nickname for his first born.
However, Brooklyn has covered it up with nondescript shapes and a star. His dad’s nickname text is also faded and less prominent.
Just a day previous, David’s ‘Buster’ neck tattoo he had done in 2015 to honour his son was visible during his visit to Doha.
Despite the savage tattoo snub, Brooklyn made sure all eyes were on his wrist on Sunday as he stepped out with wife Nicola Peltz for a lavish date night
The luxuries continued as Brooklyn and Nicola carried their own bottles of vintage Bordeaux, a 1992 Château Margaux valued at £2,200 and a 1989 Château Latour worth around £800

And while the chef has erased several tributes to his family on his body, he seems to have hung on to one particular timepiece

Brooklyn has previously shared snaps of his expensive wine collection on social media
Last year, Brooklyn had his ‘mama’s boy’ chest tattoo tribute for his Spice Girl mother Victoria covered up.
It comes as Brooklyn’s estranged brother Romeo ‘liked’ an Instagram post stating ‘Nicola is the problem’.
The Beckham clan has been torn apart in recent weeks after Brooklyn issued a six-page statement declaring he has no wish to reconcile with his family, and accused his parents David and Victoria of ‘controlling’ him and trying to ruin his marriage.
While much of the Beckham family have maintained a stoic silence since the statement, Romeo appeared to take a swipe at his estranged brother when he appeared in a video with the caption: ‘Imagine hating and we’re just here like.’
But now the model has shared his most telling sign yet about the family’s feelings on the feud, reacting to a video from a pop culture influencer on Instagram.
Social media star Ash Cantley shared a video claiming that ‘Victoria and David are trying to rescue their son’.
Romeo has since ‘liked’ the clip, offering a hint at his true reaction to Brooklyn’s feud with his family.
In the video, Ash says: ‘I take it all back. Nicola is the problem. Victoria and David are trying to rescue their son, I think Nicola forced him to make that statement.
‘I saw an interview with Victoria, and she was like “I’m a girls’ girl, I love girls, that’s why I have the business I have, and you have to be a real a-hole for me not to like you”.
‘And I was like “oh yeah Nicola’s an a**hole.”
Later in the clip, she continued: ‘And then when you look at Nicola’s friends, the amount of people who have dropped her. Selena Gomez? Like your reputation matters, and her reputation is really bad.
‘I saw an interview with David, this was like right after Brooklyn released his statement, and he’s like “you know, kids make mistakes, and you have to let them make mistakes”, and it was like a very grounded answer.
‘I was like “he and Victoria, thought they may have issues, no family’s perfect, are grounded adults, and Brooklyn and Nicola, I imagine that relationship to be very controlling, very isolating, and the whole Anwar, Nicola thing adds to that”.’
Detailing Nicola’s relationship with Anwar Hadid, Ash continued: ‘Nicola dated Anwar when he was a teenager, Anwar cut off his family for three years too, so there’s a pattern here that I think we need to look as a whole.
‘I feel bad for Brooklyn, because I do feel like, I do believe he feels these things. I think his wife is pushing him to come out and defend her publicly.
‘And also, people have privately messaged me who know Victoria, who said she’s devastated about all of this. Like I don’t hear bad things about her.
‘I do think it was a mistake for him to release that public statement because when he and Nicola divorce, if that happens, he’s gonna want his family.
‘That’s my opinion, that’s my thoughts, let me know what you think, I’ve switched sides.’
She captioned the post: ‘I go back and forth. Trying this pov out. Also I think David and Victoria should put up with Nicola even if they don’t like her for their son’s sake.’
Romeo previously took a public swipe at Brooklyn when Cruz shared a scathing video on TikTok, which he later deleted.
The youngest Beckham boy was joined by his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, alongside Romeo and his partner Kim Turnbull as they filmed themselves in a car alongside the caption: ‘Imagine hating and we’re just here like.’
While Brooklyn was enjoying fancy wines over dinner in Los Angeles with his wife, David and Victoria threw their youngest son Cruz a lavish 21st birthday party at The MAINE in Mayfair.
Billed as the Grande Beatle Ball in honour of the birthday boy’s biggest musical influence, guests quite literally Twist And Shout into the early hours as a live Beatles band took to the stage.
Elsewhere during the night it was Victoria, Harper, and Jackie, who bought him to tears as the trio took to the stage to give a heartwarming speech.
Cruz, who has showed his loyalty to his mum following his oldest brothers fallout with his family, was spotted breaking down in tears as he watched the speech from the ladies in his life next to his dad David.
During the night, guests feasted on a hearty New England themed menu of cheeseburgers, chicken burgers and fish tacos and enjoyed personalised Cruz themed cocktails.
The young musician, whose new single For Your Love was released last Friday, was also accompanied by his band, The Breakers, with whom he took to the stage for a live performance.

The birthday boy later enjoyed a tower of donuts with candles in and enjoyed a boogie with his grandparents Tony and Jackie, who are Victoria’s dad and mum, and David’s mum Sandra and his aunt Joanne.
Estranged eldest brother Brooklyn was notably absent from the latest in a long line of family events as his three siblings celebrated without him.
It was no surprise that Brooklyn was missing, with the cooking influencer intent on building a life away from his family in the United States.
Over the weekend, Brooklyn declared he ‘will forever protect’ his wife Nicola in his latest dig at his family amid their ongoing feud.
The influencer took to Instagram on Sunday to share a heartfelt message to his wife as he uploaded a romantic snap of himself shirtless while passionately kissing Nicola.
He wrote: ‘Happy Valentine’s Day baby x. I am the luckiest person in the world to be able to call you my Valentine every year x.
‘I love you more than you know and I will forever protect and love you.’
It comes after Brooklyn’s wife Nicola Peltz’s billionaire father Nelson spoke about the family drama when he did a Q and A at WSJD’s Invest Live in West Palm Beach event.
Nelson said: ‘My daughter and the Beckhams are a whole other story and that’s not for coverage here today. But I’ll tell you my daughter is great, my son-in-law Brooklyn is great and I look forward to them having a long, happy marriage together.’
Nelson was also asked if he gave the couple advice in how to navigate a difficult situation. He replied: ‘I do. Sometimes they give me advice.’
Nicola’s father’s wealth eclipses that of his co-parents-in-law, with the businessman boasting a net worth of $1.6billion, in comparison to the Beckhams’ $680million.
The Beckhams have maintained a stoic silence since Brooklyn released a damning statement in which he outlined his reasons for cutting ties with his family.
In his statement, Brooklyn went as far as to say he has been ‘controlled by a family that values public promotion above all else’ and that since being with his wife Nicola, he has found ‘peace and relief’ after battling crippling anxiety.
He wrote: ‘I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private.
‘Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.
‘I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.
‘For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family.
‘The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.
‘Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.’
He continued: ‘My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped.
‘My mum cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress.
‘Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children.
‘They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated.
‘My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since.’
While his parents are said to be ‘devastated’ by his comments, a source close to them said they would ‘welcome Brooklyn back into the fold’ should he wish to reconcile in the future.
