Victoria Beckham Explains Why She Removed Husband David Beckham Tribute Tattoo

Victoria Beckham shared the story behind her decision to remove her tribute tattoo for her husband, David Beckham, after the move sparked divorce rumors.

The former Spice Girls singer set the record straight after sparking divorce speculations last month when fans noticed that she had removed David’s tattoo initials from her wrist. Victoria, who actually began removing the ink years ago, explained her decision to remove the tattoo when she appeared on “Today” Thursday.

“I had these tattoos a long long time ago, and they just weren’t particularly delicate,” she said while noting that her husband and sons were covered in “beautiful” tats. Apparently, she didn’t feel the same about her body inks.

“Mine were just a little bit thick, and they were bleeding a little bit, and they just weren’t as pretty. They just didn’t look so nice. It doesn’t mean anything more than that,” she continued. “The media started to speculate, was I leaving my husband? No. I was just a bit sick of the tattoo. It’s as simple as that.”

She also addressed the rumored tension between her and her daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz, following the latter’s marriage to her son, Brooklyn Beckham.

“It was a beautiful wedding. As a mother, to see my son so happy, means so much,” she told hosts Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie in the latter part of the interview.

In August, an anonymous source told Page Six that Brooklyn’s mom and wife “can’t stand each other and don’t talk.” The source added that “the build-up to the wedding was horrendous.”

There was reportedly “minimal” communication between them. Brooklyn and Peltz addressed the issue when he graced the cover of Variety’s “Power of Young Hollywood.”

The “Transformers” star said the rumors were probably due to her not wearing Victoria’s design on her wedding day. She opted to walk down the aisle wearing a Valentino couture instead.

“I was going to and I really wanted to, and then a few months down the line, she realized that her atelier couldn’t do it, so then I had to pick another dress,” she told Variety. “She didn’t say you can’t wear it; I didn’t say I didn’t want to wear it. That’s where it started, and then they ran with that.”
