The Beckhams are left devastated and horrified after Brooklyn Beckham's controversial World Cup ad, where he threw shade at his parents and the headline-making family drama.

Brooklyn starred in the new DoorDash ad when he shed light on his "complicated" relationship with family, noting, "You're probably wondering why I'm watching the FIFA World Cup 2026 from home."

"It's complicated. More soon," said the 27-year-old as he tossed the World Cup tickets on his table, which had a £250,000 designer watch gifted to him by his dad and a stack of unopened letters.

A source close to the Beckham 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," they 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 insider said.

The source added that David and Victoria's eldest son is absolutely allowed to make money, but using his family's "heartbreaking" situation is not the way.

The ad was released on social media after Brooklyn's younger sister, Harper Beckham, was seen attempting to visit him at his LA home but returned seconds later after finding out that neither her brother nor his wife, Nicole Peltz, was at the mansion.

After pictures of Harper's visit went viral, a rep for the couple said that the letter the 14-year-old had during the visit felt like an "orchestrated move by his family" to "make them feel uncomfortable".

Brooklyn has been estranged from his family for over a year, and in January, he made several bombshell claims against his parents, accusing them of putting their brand above the family and "inauthenticity".
