People are convinced Nicola Peltz just sent pointed message to Beckham family with new tattoo

As the storm caused by Brooklyn Beckham's bombshell essay rages on, people have uncovered what they believe to be an incredibly subtle dig from wife Nicola Peltz-Beckham.

With Brooklyn confirming publicly his rift with parents David and Victoria Beckham, celeb watchers have spotted a hidden message in a new tattoo shown off by Nicola in her latest Instagram update.

The mirror selfie was posted just hours before husband Brooklyn, 26, fired a very public shot at the Beckham family scions by alleging that the young couple had suffered 'endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly'.

Wearing just a blue bralet, the 31-year-old actor poses without any expression, revealing a subtle bit of ink on her ribcage that appears like a scrawling script. According to PageSix, this new tat is actually Yiddish - and it says 'family first'.

Celebrity commentators have been quick to jump on the meaning behind this tattoo, which she also shares with her brother Will Peltz. One person called the post a 'victory lap' after Brooklyn's bombshell personal essay.

They said: "Her husband has just eviscerated his family online and she posts this photo off her looking into a mirror and showing her tattoo, which means ‘Family First’, in Yiddish. This is her victory lap. Quite vindictive. She might as well hold up a banner saying ‘I won.’"

While it is not clear whether the Lola actor actually meant to show off the new tattoo as a dig at her estranged in-laws, it became pretty clear in Brooklyn's essay that the family rift will not be healed anytime soon.

He wrote that he doesn't 'want to reconcile' with his mom and dad, after alleging a series of snubs relating to his 2022 wedding with Nicola. This included a claim that fashion designer Victoria had offered to design a dress, but then pulled out 'at the eleventh hour'.

The Beckhams' eldest son also alleged that his mom had danced inappropriately with him during what was supposed to be a romantic moment in their star-studded nuptials.

In the years since, tit-for-tat press briefings have steadily ratcheted up the cross-Atlantic tension, leading Nicola to wipe all references to her in-laws from her social media.

But anonymous sources close to the family have claimed that Brooklyn, who has unfollowed the rest of the Beckham clan, is being egged on by Nicola, but could be brought back into the fold.

A source told the Mail on Sunday: "Brooklyn wants to do anything to make Nicola happy, but this is all getting out of control. I can’t imagine a world where Brooklyn wouldn’t want to see his parents again."

They added: "It is clear that Brooklyn is very keen to please Nicola, but maybe, just maybe, he will at some point want to get back in touch with his parents.

"Nothing would make them happier."
