Brooklyn Beckham has taken a swipe at his parents David and Victoria in a savage Instagram post in which he makes pointed references to the ongoing feud with his family.
In the sponsored video with a food delivery firm to tie in with the World Cup, Brooklyn says with a smirk: ‘You’re probably wondering why I’m watching the FIFA World Cup 2026 from home… It’s a long story.’
As the clip comes to a close, a message reads: ‘It’s complicated. More soon.’
The video, which seems certain to leave the Beckhams shocked, comes amid the ongoing row between family members, in which Brooklyn has reportedly turned down numerous chances to reconcile with his parents, brothers and sister.
Brooklyn is set to cash in on his deal with DoorDash, despite already having an individual net worth of £7.4million. In the post sponsored by the delivery firm, he seems to relish the opportunity to hit back at his family, with the video containing a number of seemingly hidden messages.
While Brooklyn has been wearing the £250,000 Patek Philippe Nautilus watch gifted to him by his father, who played in three World Cups in 1998, 2002 and 2006, 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.
One 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 commented.
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, 23, and Cruz, 21, 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 (below) 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.

Cruz and Romeo Beckham have publicly vouched for their beloved sister Harper after their Brother Brooklyn accused the family of ‘choreographing’ her visit to his house

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.’
Cruz and Romeo publicly vouched for their sister on Sunday after Brooklyn accused the family of ‘choreographing’ her visit to his house.
Romeo showed support for his sister as he branded her his ‘favourite person ever’ and shared a sweet selfie of them together on Instagram.
He flashed a smile while wearing a Brazil jacket from his own label Intra, cuddled up next to his beloved sibling, who was pulling a playful expression.
Cruz’s girlfriend Jackie, 30, also revealed they had spent quality time with his younger sister during their trip stateside after the snub.
The group headed out for a seafood dinner at The Crab Cooker in Newport Beach, before grabbing ice cream cones for dessert.
They also hung out another day on the trip, as they picked up Erewhon smoothies in one sweet selfie of Jackie and Harper together.
She had captioned the selection of snaps: ‘LA – OC!! Core memory weekend. We obviously went looking for Summer and Seth.’
Both Cruz and Victoria, 52, shared some love under the post and left a string of red heart emojis underneath.
Brooklyn was last pictured with his family during Christmas 2024, and by May 2025 it was clear a feud had formed after Brooklyn failed to acknowledge either of his parents’ birthdays and snubbed David’s 50th.
He accused his parents of trying to ruin his relationship with wife Nicola Peltz and said his mother danced ‘inappropriately’ on him during his 2022 nuptials to the billionaire heiress.
He also claimed that Victoria ‘cancelled’ plans to make Nicola’s gown at the last minute, ‘forcing her to urgently find a new dress’.
Brooklyn hit out at his father, as he said he was in the UK to attend David’s 50th celebrations, but claimed repeated requests to see him beforehand were ignored and ‘when he finally agreed to see me, it was under the condition that Nicola wasn’t invited’.
