David Beckham gushes ‘I love you mum’ as he enjoys family catch up

Sir David Beckham spent quality time with his mother Sandra and sister Joanne as they enjoyed a pie and mash lunch at their favourite cafe in Essex on Friday.

The former footballer, 50, said catching up with his family was ‘good for his soul’ after the revelation his son Brooklyn is planning to ‘adopt a child’ with wife Nicola Peltz.

Victoria, 51, and David’s estranged son, 26, is said to have had ‘several’ conversations with the billionaire heiress, 31, about adopting a child together.

In light of the news, David went back to his roots with his mother and sibling and stepped out for a £5.50 lunch.

He wrote: ‘Nothing better for the soul than Pie&Mash with mum Love you mum @sandra_beckham49 @jo_jo_beckham_ @tonyspieandmash’. 

David is a regular punter at Tony’s Pie & Mash shop in Waltham Abbey, located just outside of his Leytonstone birthplace. 

He took some time to take photos with fans at the Essex eatery, with David even gifting signed football shirts as a sweet gesture. 

Last month, Brooklyn released a scathing six-page statement where he publicly outlined his grievances with his family and declared he did not wish to reconcile with the them.

A source close to the couple, who married in 2022, said they want a ‘brood’ of children – and at least one to not be biologically theirs.

They said: ‘This is a subject Nicola and Brooklyn firmly align on: they both want a brood of children, and for at least one to be adopted.

‘They both know they come from a place of unimagined privilege and therefore strongly want to give back; offer a disadvantaged baby or child the best possible life. They have talked extensively about it.’ 

It would be a devastating blow to Becks and Posh Spice if they were not to have any contact with a future grandchild, having always adored the idea of becoming grandparents.

The Daily Mail contacted representatives for Brooklyn and Nicola.

In his scathing six-page statement last month, Brooklyn strongly hinted at the idea of having children with Nicola.

He concluded his damning post: ‘I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief.

‘My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.’

In a 2022 interview with The Times, Nicola revealed how Brooklyn was eager to have children earlier in life than her, but that they both wanted a large family.

‘He wants kids yesterday,’ she told the publication, adding that she wanted to wait ‘a couple of years’.

She continued: ‘We definitely want a big family. He has three siblings, and I have seven.’

Earlier this week, pictures emerged revealing how Brooklyn had covered up his anchor tattoo once dedicated to his father.

The hot sauce owner also seems to have removed his siblings Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14, from his body.

Just one week ago his tats for them, which were inked on his fingers, were visible in a cooking video.

Now, they have been inked over.

Brooklyn’s numerous tattoos in honour of his wife Nicola are still prominently displayed on his body.

He previously had a large anchor tattoo on his upper right arm that once carried the words ‘dad’ through it.

Directly underneath is the message ‘Love you Bust’ – David’s endearing nickname for his first born. 

However, new pictures show Brooklyn has covered it up with nondescript shapes and a star.

His dad’s nickname text is also faded and less prominent.
