In a new DoorDash commercial tied to the FIFA World Cup 2026, Brooklyn Beckham appeared to reference a strained relationship with his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, amid ongoing rumors of family discord.

Brooklyn Beckham’s DoorDash ad hints at family tensions

The advertisement, which Brooklyn shared on his Instagram account, features him seated on a couch explaining, “You’re probably wondering why I’m watching the FIFA World Cup 2026 from home.” He then adds with a laugh, “It’s a long story,” while tossing World Cup tickets onto a coffee table. The phrase “It’s complicated. More soon,” appears on screen following this, and Brooklyn captioned the post simply as “Long story.”

This ad seemingly alludes to ongoing complexities within the Beckham family, particularly between Brooklyn and his parents. The commercial’s timing and wording have sparked reactions online, with some viewers accusing Brooklyn of taking a subtle jab at his parents. One social media user commented, “Seem very happy to still be profiting off the Beckham name,” while another wrote, “No honey, nobody cares…. Victoria and David are the only Beckhams the world cares about.”

These developments come shortly after Brooklyn’s sister, Harper, was reportedly seen visiting his residence but leaving soon after without meeting him, according to Page Six. Sources indicated that Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz, were not home during Harper’s visit, fueling further speculation about the family’s internal dynamics.
