Brooklyn Beckham delivered a clear cold-shoulder to his estranged father David on Father's Day, as his wife Nicola Peltz showered her own father with adoration. The 27-year-old did not acknowledge David's heartfelt social media post, which celebrated all four of his children, including Brooklyn.
David Beckham's Father's Day Tribute
David Beckham, 51, took to Instagram on Sunday to share nostalgic photos of his kids, captioning: "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." The post received comments from his wife Victoria and son Cruz, but notably no public response from Brooklyn.
Nicola Peltz's Gushing Tribute to Her Father
In stark contrast, Nicola Peltz, 30, posted an extended and emotional tribute to her father, Nelson Peltz. She 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. thank you for always believing in me and always encouraging me to chase my biggest dreams. you’ve taught me to be so tough and to never give up. (just like you) i love you so so so so much! i hope today is so perfect for you." She accompanied the message with a series of photos with her father.
Brooklyn's Digs at Family Feud in DoorDash Ad
The Father's Day snub comes just days after Brooklyn appeared in a DoorDash advert that took multiple digs at his family feud. In the ad, he is seen sitting on a couch, saying: "You’re probably wondering why I’m watching the FIFA World Cup 2026 from home." He then chuckles and throws his World Cup tickets onto a coffee table, adding: "It's a long story." The screen then shows the words: "It's complicated, more soon," alongside the unused tickets, an expensive watch, a camera, and a burnt pizza.
According to PageSix, Brooklyn was paid a whopping $1 million to film the advert, which critics say mocks his family's pain. 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 Devastation Over Advert
However, Brooklyn's family is said to be devastated by the advert. A source revealed: "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 then 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. Brooklyn is absolutely entitled to go and make his own money – his parents laud such ambition – but taking the mick out of a deep-rooted, heartbreaking family situation is not the one."
