Brooklyn Beckham has taken a savage swipe at his parents David and Victoria as he cashed in amid their ongoing family feud in a new pot-shot filled ad.
As the World Cup gets in full swing, the eldest Beckham son took to Instagram for a sponsored ad with DoorDash.
Smirking he said: ‘You’re probably wondering why I’m watching the FIFA World Cup 2026 from home…It’s a long story.’
As the clip came to a close, a message read: ‘It’s complicated. More soon.’
David famously played in three FIFA World Cups in 1998, 2002, and 2006 and the star was watching from the crowd alongside Victoria and Tom Cruise for Friday’s match between the USA and Paraguay.
Brooklyn doesn’t exactly need the money, with an individual net worth of £7.4m and a wife who gets a £1million a month allowance from her parents.
However, it seems he relished the opportunity to hit back at his family and his new video contained a number of seemingly hidden messages.
While Brooklyn has been wearing the £250,000 Patek Philippe Nautilus watch gifted to him by his dad David, he shakes off this association by pointedly placing a new one on his coffee table.
And there was a stack of unopened letters from home – perhaps a nod to his refusal to make contact with his family.
Only on Friday, his sister Harper, 14, went to his Beverly Hills home to deliver a handwritten note but was crestfallen when she discovered he wasn’t home.

While Brooklyn smirked in the advert, the joke didn’t appear to land well with fans as they took to the comments section and accused the star of disrespecting his parents.
The wrote: ‘You knew what you was doing with this commercial; Am I only the one who finds the irony in him doing this ad?;
‘Desperate; This is so disturbing; Cliff hanger’.
Another fan noticed the intentionally placed items on the table as they added: ‘The watch and camera’ alongside laughing emojis.
Shortly after his sister’s appearance at the home Brooklyn shares with his wife Nicola Peltz , 31, their camp accused the Beckhams of ‘using Harper as a pawn’.
Friends of David and Victoria Beckham have hit back at the ‘nasty accusation levelled at an innocent young girl’ from their estranged son, 27.
However, representatives for Brooklyn and Nicola insisted the circumstances surrounding the visit raised serious questions.
They told the Daily Mail: ‘[The fact] that photographers were in place as the letter was hand delivered says it all – this was choreographed for the cameras.’
In response, friends close to Victoria and David have said: ‘It is incredibly sad that this horrible accusation is being levelled at an innocent young girl who just desperately misses her brother.
‘Nothing needed to be said at all so to invent this nasty accusation is really unnecessary.’
They have also claimed that Brooklyn hasn’t accepted any contact from Harper or his grandparents since the falling out.
Following Harper’s visit, it later emerged that Brooklyn, 27, was not even in California at the time.
Instead, the aspiring chef and media personality shared an Instagram story showing himself out for a run in New York City, making it clear that he was on the opposite side of the country when his younger sister arrived at his front door.

Harper had been in LA, alongside her brothers Romeo and Cruz, to watch their father be honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
David’s new plaque has taken pride of place at the centre of Hollywood Boulevard, just over five miles from Brooklyn’s home.
The former England captain appeared determined to avoid discussing the family fallout during interviews ahead of the ceremony.
Asked what toll months of headlines surrounding the feud had taken on him, he replied: ‘To be honest, I’m sorry to stop you there, but that’s a private matter. That’s the one thing that I don’t want to talk about.’
The Beckhams have been embroiled in an increasingly acrimonious dispute with Brooklyn and Nicola for months, with relations said to have deteriorated dramatically after the couple failed to attend David’s 50th birthday celebrations in May 2025.
In January, Brooklyn released a scathing six-page statement denouncing his parents.
He announced he had cut ties with his family – declaring he was no longer part of ‘Brand Beckham’ and insisting his parents and their other children are ‘performative’.
Shortly before Christmas last year, Brooklyn blocked his parents on Instagram, while Brooklyn and Nicola’s lawyers later wrote to the Beckhams’ legal team requesting that all communication be conducted through legal representatives.

Brooklyn also claimed David and Victoria had controlled him for much of his life, attempted to drive a wedge between him and Nicola and left him embarrassed when his mother danced ‘inappropriately’ with him during the first dance at his wedding.
Victoria has previously spoken about the challenges of parenting older children while under intense scrutiny.
Speaking about all four of her children, she said: ‘Being a parent of young adult children and adult children, gosh, I mean, it’s very different from having little children.
‘I think that we’re trying to do the best we can,’ she said, adding that the negative press in recent months had not affected her fashion and beauty empire.
‘I think that ultimately people are buying my product because the product is really good. I don’t think they’re buying my eyeliner just because it’s me.’
