Brooklyn Beckham conspicuously failed to acknowledge his father David Beckham on Father's Day, despite David posting a heartfelt tribute to all four of his children. The 27-year-old photographer did not comment on or share David's Instagram post, which featured throwback photos of his kids and the caption: "Being a dad is my most important job... I love you all & thank you mummy @victoriabeckham For giving me our beautiful family. Happy Father's Day to all the Dads around the world."
David's post received comments from wife Victoria and son Cruz, but Brooklyn remained silent. This stands in stark contrast to Brooklyn's wife, Nicola Peltz, who posted an effusive tribute to her own father, Nelson Peltz. Nicola wrote: "happy father’s day dad! i’m so lucky i get to be your daughter, you’re the best dad in the entire world. thank you for being the most loving and supportive father i could ever dream of... i love you to the moon and back a trillion times over."
Family Feud Intensifies
The Father's Day snub comes just days after Brooklyn released a controversial DoorDash advertisement in which he mocked his family rift. In the ad, Brooklyn is seen lounging on a couch and says: "You’re probably wondering why I’m watching the FIFA World Cup 2026 from home." He then tosses his World Cup tickets onto a coffee table and adds: "It's a long story." The screen then flashes the words: "It's complicated, more soon," alongside the unused tickets, a camera, and a burnt pizza.
According to PageSix, Brooklyn was paid a whopping $1 million for the DoorDash ad. A source told the publication: "It’s a little cheesy. [But] anything that makes him money is good - it shows that his brand is there and flourishing."
Family Devastated by Ad
Sources close to the Beckham family have expressed devastation over the advertisement. One insider said: "To do an ad based on estrangement from family as if it's a joke when his family is devastated and sister and grandparents are inconsolable … It just seems a tad hypocritical from someone claiming to want peace and privacy and the trying to cash in on it all." The source added: "He says he wants nothing to do with his family, but is now trading off them by using one of his footballing father's legacies – the World Cup – as an advertising selling point."
The ongoing rift between Brooklyn and his parents has been widely reported, with tensions reportedly stemming from Brooklyn's marriage to Nicola Peltz and his move to the United States. The Father's Day snub and the DoorDash ad mark the latest public displays of the family's strained relationship.
