DAVID Beckham has showed off his ripped torso in a shirtless snap from New York City – and made a subtle nod to his estranged son Brooklyn.
Brooklyn let loose on his family in a scathing social media post in January, with things remaining tense ever since.
David shared the stunning snap on Instagram, which showed him standing topless on a NYC balcony with his morning coffee.
In later posts, he revealed he was having dinner in Brooklyn — the place his son was named after.
This appeared to be a subtle nod to Brooklyn as his mum Victoria discovered she was pregnant there with him.
Brooklyn said at the start of the year that he did “not want to reconcile” with his family, and accused his parents of “controlling” the narrative.
His initial statement read: “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.”
He then went on to recall the night of his wedding and how his mother danced in an “inappropriate way”.
Brooklyn also sent his parents David and Victoria a legal notice warning they can now contact him only via lawyers.
The extraordinary “desist” letter also instructed them not to “tag” him on social media.
Things then led to Brooklyn snubbing his father’s Hollywood star unveiling in June.
Just this month, Brooklyn let his shirt do the talking as he ramped up his family feud once more.
The telling message on Brooklyn’s top read: “It’s not clocking to you.”
It refers to pop star Justin Bieber’s 2025 paparazzi meltdown, when he complained: “It’s not clocking to you I’m standing on business.”
The singer meant photographers were not understanding he was busy and wanted to be left alone.
