Brooklyn Beckham savagely writes David out of history with cutting comment
Hopes of an olive branch offering in the ongoing Beckham family feud have once again been dashed after Brooklyn Beckham appearing to erase dad David Beckham from history in a recent interview
In their revealing first interview since the alleged Beckham war erupted, Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz made their loyalties crystal clear.
The eldest Beckham child has reportedly distanced himself from his famous family after a series of rows, and a startling new comment suggests he's now trying to scrub his footballer father from his personal history.
Chef Brooklyn initially appeared to be offering an olive branch to dad David Beckham, with the name of his new hot sauce range, Cloud23, previously said to be a "warm nod" to their father-son relationship.
In response to a recent customer query left on the official website, a member of Brooklyn's team replied: "The 23 included in our brand is a warm nod to Brooklyn's father, David Beckham, who wore number 23 while playing for Real Madrid and LA Galaxy, inspired by NBA legend Michael Jordan."
However, Brooklyn himself gave a very different account when explaining the inspiration behind the branding, shattering fans' hopes for a peace offering anytime soon.
In an interview with Glamour Germany in April, Brooklyn asserted, "The 23 stands for our engagement date and my age back then."
There was no reference made to sporting legend David, who is also not mentioned anywhere on the official Cloud23 website.
Elsewhere in the interview, Brooklyn, 26, showed off his tattoos, and, just like his dad, he has many. A number of these elaborate body art pieces are tributes to his parents and younger siblings.
This includes David's birth year, 1975, inked on his thumb, while the words 'mama's boy' are emblazoned across his chest. His skin also bears the initials DVBRCH, standing of course for David, Victoria, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper.
These personal pieces of body art weren't part of the discussion about Brooklyn's tats, with the conversation instead focusing on the hot sauce proprietor's dedications to wife Nicola, and members of her family. Brooklyn told the publication: "Some mean a lot to me, like Nicola's eyes on my neck or our wedding vows."
Nicola, 30, added: "I love it when Brooklyn gets tattoos that have a special story. He also got my mother's rosary tattooed on his hand."
It comes after Sally Baker, an accredited, award-winning senior therapist, shared her fascinating insight over the ongoing rift rumours.
She told the Mirror how some couples become even closer in the face of family rows in a bid to "prove their allegiance to each other".
Touching on the young couple's perceived identity crisis, as they break away from brand Beckham, Sally told us: "A newly married couple are forging their identity apart from their family of origin. They cannot entertain the idea that they might be in the wrong or have behaved badly. To consider that takes confidence in themselves as a couple.
"That comes with time and experience, but until then, offspring can seem blinkered and casually unkind as they carve their own path. Thankfully, most family bonds are strong and enduring. However much pain has been inflicted, families are forgiving and patiently wait for their adult child to rejoin the fold, with or without their partner in tow."

Rick Pitino says he would 'absolutely not' coach Knicks
June 5 - St. John's coach Rick Pitino said he has zero interest in becoming head coach of the New York Knicks again. "Absolutely not," Pitino said during a broadcast of Wednesday's game between the New York Yankees and the Cleveland Guardians, per CBS Sports. "I think whoever comes in, if he doesn't get to the Finals, it's going to be deemed an unsuccessful season," he continued. "So, whoever comes in has got so much pressure on them to take this team to the next level cause that's why they're doing it, obviously, in their minds." The Knicks fired head coach Tom Thibodeau on Tuesday despite reaching the Eastern Conference finals for the first time in 25 years. The Knicks haven't reached the NBA Finals since 1999 and have not won a championship since 1973. Pitino, 72, compiled a 90-74 record with two playoff appearances in two seasons as the head coach for New York from 1987-89. The Hall of Famer completed his second season as the head coach at St. John's in 2024-25, winning national and Big East Coach of the Year honors after finishing 31-5. Thibodeau compiled a 226-174 (.565) record in five seasons with the Knicks, including a 51-31 finish this season. He was 24-23 in the playoffs with New York. --Field Level Media

The Wire actor Tray Chaney shares update after son is carried away by tornado
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video The Wire actor Tray Chaney has shared an emotional update on his 19-year-old son Malachi, who was critically injured after being thrown nearly 300 feet by a tornado that destroyed their home in Georgia last week. The tornado, which hit Locust Grove near Atlanta on May 29, left a trail of devastation. Chaney – best known for playing Poot on the HBO drama – was asleep when the EF-2 storm tore through his neighborhood. He described hearing a sound 'like a train was coming' before his entire room was ripped apart. 'I just remember turning to my right and my walls, and my TVs and my dressers and my bed turned upside down and I levitated in the air,' Chaney said in a new interview with TMZ. 'I just remember covering [my face with my arms], yelling my son's name out.' Chaney was knocked unconscious as the house collapsed around him. When he awoke, he was buried in debris and lying in the mud, unsure where his son had been carried. Neighbours helped pull him from the wreckage, but Malachi was nowhere to be seen. Eventually, Malachi was discovered in nearby woods, having been hurled by the tornado's vortex. Despite being flung the length of a football field, he survived. But the injuries were severe: every bone in his face fractured, broken ribs, and cuts covering his upper body. Remarkably, his legs were largely unharmed. After six days in intensive care, Chaney confirmed Malachi is now in stable condition and has been moved to a less critical unit. 'But it's going to be a long journey and a long road to recovery. We're not out of the hospital,' he said. The tornado struck just days before Malachi's birthday on June 1. Though the celebration was subdued, Chaney managed to surprise his son with a special video message from NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal, who wished him a happy birthday. 'The tough part is watching him be stable and respond the best way he can,' Chaney said. 'And every single day, he doesn't know what happened.' More Trending Chaney's wife, Ayesha, had not been home during the storm but returned soon after. The family has since been staying with friends and in temporary housing. 'We went to war with a tornado and came out on top,' Chaney said. 'Everybody in that house could have been killed.' He continued: 'I don't know what's … coming, and I'm not trying to figure it out.' The family has launched a GoFundMe to help rebuild. At time of writing, the fund has raised $99,370 (£77,500). Got a story?

Draymond Green makes astonishing NBA Finals claim ahead of Pacers-Thunder showdown
Four-time champion Draymond Green has claimed that he would rather be eliminated in the first round of the playoffs than lose in the NBA Finals. The Warriors star insists it is 'almost worse' to make it all the way to the Finals, only to fall at the final hurdle. 'One of the worst seasons you can have,' Green said. The 35-year-old was speaking ahead of this year's tussle between the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder, which begins on Thursday night. Green and the Warriors won the NBA Championship in 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2022. But the forward was also part of the Golden State team that lost in the finals in 2016 and 2019. 'If you don't win it, it's almost worse,' the 35-year-old said. 'You might as well have lost in the first round.' 'If you want me to be quite honest with you, I personally think making it to the NBA Finals is one of the worst seasons you can have,' he continued on his YouTube show with Baron Davis. 'Going to the NBA Finals and winning an NBA championship, those two things are so far apart. You can get to the NBA Finals and not be close to winning an NBA championship. 'I know that may sound hard for people to believe... but those that have won championships will definitely understand what I'm saying. 'Those that have been there and didn't quite win will definitely understand what I'm saying. Those two things are so drastically far apart.' The New York Knicks fell short against the Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals, losing the series 4-2 and then firing head coach Tom Thibodeau. But Green insisted: 'Even if the Knicks made it to the NBA Finals and didn't win it, that's not some accomplishment to me. 'You get nothing for making the NBA Finals except a couple (tens of thousands of dollars) more than the conference final loser... you walk with nothing. The (other) team goes on and celebrates and has this incredible summer. 'And you're kind of left stuck trying to figure out: "Were we really close? Do we need to run it back with this team? What's the tweak we need to make? Because we were right there. Or we weren't really right there."' The Oklahoma City Thunder are favorites to win their second NBA Championship. They are -700 with FanDuel, while the Pacers are +500 win the seven-game series. Oklahoma City had the best record in the NBA over the regular season and Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton admitted: 'We know the odds are stacked against us.' But the guard, who played a pivotal role in Indiana's win over the Knicks, insisted they 'want to go through the best team' to win a first NBA championship. 'This is the best challenge... this is the best team in the NBA. It's been the best team in the NBA all year,' he told ESPN. 'They're well-coached. They just do everything so well. There's no shortcuts to beating this team. 'We know the odds are stacked against us. It is what it is. We want to be here. We want to play against the best. This is the best. We look forward to the challenge as a group.' Haliburton added: 'They're historically great on both sides of the ball... they have the MVP (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander). There's so many different things you could name down the list of why they are so great at what they do, why they're such a great team.'
