Brooklyn Beckham has once again found himself at the center of a family feud, this time using a DoorDash advertisement during the FIFA World Cup 2026 to subtly address his estranged relationship with his parents, David and Victoria Beckham. The ad, posted on June 15, has sparked a wave of speculation and controversy, shedding light on the ongoing tensions within the Beckham family.
The ad features Brooklyn smirking and saying, “You’re probably wondering why I’m watching the FIFA World Cup 2026 from home. It’s a long story.” This cryptic message has been interpreted as a veiled reference to his strained relationship with his famous parents. The ad concludes with the text “It’s complicated. More soon,” hinting at further revelations to come.
Brooklyn Beckham’s Public Feud with His Parents
Brooklyn’s public feud with his parents began in earnest in January when he accused them of controlling his life and attempting to ruin his relationship with his wife, Nicola Peltz. In a scathing six-page statement, he claimed that his parents had been trying to “ruin [his] relationship since before [his] wedding” and had controlled “narratives in the press about our family.” He also alleged that his mother, Victoria, had danced “inappropriately” with him during his first dance at his wedding, causing him embarrassment.
Brooklyn’s statement marked a significant escalation in the family feud, which had been simmering for some time. He accused his parents of being “performative” and of using social media and the press to control the family narrative. He also claimed that his parents had tried to bribe him into signing away the rights to his name before his wedding, which he refused to do.
The Beckham Family’s Response
The Beckham family has responded to Brooklyn’s accusations with a mix of denial and defense. A source close to the family told The Sun that Brooklyn’s ad was “hypocritical” and that his family was “devastated” by his actions. The source also claimed that Brooklyn was “cashing in” on his family’s legacy and the World Cup, which his father, David, played in during 1998, 2002, and 2006.
David and Victoria Beckham have largely remained silent on the matter, with David refusing to discuss the family feud during interviews ahead of his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony. However, friends of the couple have defended them, claiming that Brooklyn’s accusations are “unnecessary” and that Harper, their 14-year-old daughter, is “inconsolable” over the feud.
The Impact on the Beckham Family
The family feud has had a significant impact on the Beckham family, with Brooklyn reportedly covering up tattoos honoring his parents and rumored to be releasing a tell-all book. The feud has also affected the family’s public image, with Brooklyn’s ad and his parents’ responses dominating headlines and sparking debate among fans and the media.
Despite the ongoing tensions, Brooklyn has shown no signs of reconciling with his parents. In his January statement, he made it clear that he “do[es] not want to reconcile with [his] family” and that he is “standing up for [himself] for the first time in [his] life.” His recent ad and the family’s response suggest that the feud is far from over and that further revelations are likely to emerge in the coming months.
