Brooklyn Beckham has reportedly taken home a handsome payout following his DoorDash advert for the 2026 World Cup.

The eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham has seemingly continued the feud with his family, following his bombshell statement about them in January this year.

He stated at the time: "I do not want to reconcile with my family. I'm not being controlled, I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life."

While there have been some hints towards the subject by the superstar parents, they are yet to officially acknowledge their son's decision to leave the family behind.

So naturally, when Brooklyn featured in an advert which appeared as an apparent dig towards his family, people online got chatting.

To rub salt in the wounds of Beckham family fans, the chef and photographer has earned a pretty seven-figure sum for his involvement in the advert for DoorDash.

How much did Brooklyn Beckham earn from the World Cup advert?

Page Six reports that Brooklyn earned at least $1 million for his advert for DoorDash, where it looks like he pokes fun at his family fued.

The payday likely makes all the online criticism that bit easier, as several social media users were left angry by the ad, which implied that he was watching the World Cup at home to avoid his family while giving away his tickets.

In the commercial, he can be heard saying: “You’re probably wondering why I’m watching the Fifa World Cup 2026 from home. It’s not like I don’t have tickets,

“Um, it’s because … it’s a long story.”

While a teaser for Brooklyn's ad hit the airways earlier first, a full ad would air soon after.

This happened after Brooklyn's younger sister Harper, tried to reunite with him at his LA home, where he lives with his wife Nicola Peltz.

A source close to the family told the publication: “To do an ad based on estrangement from family as if it’s a joke, when his family is devastated and his sister and grandparents are inconsolable, is terrible…

“DoorDash must be reconsidering this campaign, for sure.”

But this wasn't the case, as DoorDash released the full advert, showing the former academy soccer player handing his tickets to a delivery driver, saying: “These can go to someone else, put them somewhere fun.”

Customers can follow clued from DoorDash to find these tickets, though a source close to Brooklyn said of the add that it was "a little cheesy."

They did also highlight: “Anything that makes him money is good - it shows that his brand is there and flourishing.”

But it is said that the Beckhams found it to be hypocritical.

Brooklyn previously addressed the feyd

In January, Brooklyn publicly spoke about the reported family tensions after months of speculation.

"I have been silent for years and have made every attempt to keep these matters private," he said.

"Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.

"I do not want to reconcile with my family. I'm not being controlled, I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life."

In the months since, David and Victoria have remained silent on the situation.

Brooklyn Beckham has made a series of serious accusations against his famous parents, David and Victoria Beckham, as he finally addresses the long-rumored family feud. For years, whispers about tensions between Brooklyn and his parents have circulated, with some even suggesting a rift.

The most significant confirmation came from his younger brother, Cruz Beckham, who revealed that Brooklyn had blocked him and their parents on social media. Now, Brooklyn has stepped forward to share his side of the story, offering shocking details about the conflict.

On January 19, 2026, Brooklyn posted a detailed message on Instagram Stories, revealing the truth behind the estrangement. His candid remarks have left many questioning the dynamic within the Beckham family.

Parents allegedly tried to ‘bribe’ him before wedding

One of the most startling accusations Brooklyn made was that his parents attempted to pressure him into signing away the rights to his name before his wedding to Nicola Peltz.

According to Brooklyn, the couple repeatedly urged him to sign a deal that would affect his name and the future of his family. He claimed that his refusal to comply caused a major rift between them.

"Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children," Brooklyn shared. "They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated. My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since."

Victoria allegedly called Brooklyn ‘evil’ and ruined his first dance

Brooklyn also shared disturbing details about his mother’s behavior during his wedding. He alleged that Victoria ruined his first dance with Nicola by taking the spotlight herself. Instead of having a romantic dance with his wife as planned, Brooklyn claimed that his mother took the stage in an inappropriate manner, humiliating him in front of their guests.

"In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead," Brooklyn recalled. "She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I've never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life."

Brooklyn also claimed that during the wedding planning, Victoria went so far as to call him "evil" for choosing to include his grandmother, Sandra, and Nicola's grandmother, "Naunni," at their table. Both women had lost their husbands, and Brooklyn explained that the decision was important to both him and Nicola. Victoria’s reaction to the seating arrangement became another source of conflict.

"During the wedding planning, my mum went so far as to call me 'evil' because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra, and Nicola's Naunni at our table, because they both didn't have their husbands," Brooklyn added. "Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours."

Victoria cancels wedding dress plans and David refuses to meet

Brooklyn further revealed that Victoria had canceled plans to design Nicola's wedding dress at the last minute, forcing the bride to find an alternative gown just before the wedding. According to Brooklyn, this was a pivotal moment of tension, as his mother had been excited to make the dress, only to pull out "in the eleventh hour."

"My mum cancelled making Nicola's dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress," Brooklyn said.

Additionally, Brooklyn claimed that David refused to meet him and Nicola in London ahead of his 50th birthday. Despite traveling to the city to spend time with him, Brooklyn said David rejected their efforts, only agreeing to see them under the condition that Nicola would not be present.

"My mum has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable," Brooklyn explained. "Despite this, we still travelled to London for my dad's birthday and were rejected for a week as we waited in our hotel room trying to plan quality time with him. He refused all of our attempts, unless it was at his big birthday party with a hundred guests and cameras at every corner."

David Beckham has responded after his son Brooklyn took to Instagram to explain why he isn't on speaking terms with his family.In a shocking Instagram statement posted last night, the 26-year-old came out swinging against his famous parents, David and Victoria Beckham, accusing them of manipulating the press and controlling his life.It was a move aimed at defending his wife, actress Nicola Peltz, as he claimed years of disrespect from his own family.“I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private,” Brooklyn began. “Unfortunately my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.”The aspiring chef held nothing back, declaring: “I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.”Brooklyn went on to accuse his parents of tightly managing how the public views their family. “For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.”He claimed he’s seen firsthand the lengths his parents will go to in order to protect their image: “Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.”Brooklyn Beckham and David Beckham.

Instead, he reflected on the impact of social media, especially on his children.“I have always spoken about social media and the power of social media . . . For the good and for the bad,” he said. “What kids can access these days, it can be dangerous. But what I have found personally, especially with my kids as well, use it for the right reasons.“I’ve been able to use my platform for my following, for UNICEF. And it has been the biggest tool to make people aware of what’s going on around the world for children. And I have tried to do the same with my children, to educate them.“They make mistakes, but children are allowed to make mistakes. That is how they learn. That is what I try to teach my kids.”The football legend added: “You sometimes have to let them make those mistakes as well.”David was later seen at the 56th annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, dressed sharply in a dark suit and putting on a composed front amid the media storm.When asked by a Sky News reporter if he had “a message for Brooklyn,” and whether he was “disappointed family business is being aired in public,” Beckham stayed silent. He smiled to fans and continued walking.Brooklyn details alleged humiliation at his weddingPerhaps the most personal blow came when Brooklyn recalled a painful memory from his 2022 wedding to Nicola. He accused his mother of taking over what should have been a private moment between the newlyweds.“She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life," he claimed.Brooklyn revealed that he and Nicola renewed their vows after just three years to overwrite memories of “anxiety and embarrassment.”He claimed his mother continuously tried to make Nicola feel unwelcome: “My mum has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable.”He didn’t hold back when speaking about his father either, referencing David Beckham’s 50th birthday bash.“He refused all of our attempts, unless it was at his big birthday party with a hundred guests and cameras at every corner,” Brooklyn wrote.“When he finally agreed to see me, it was under the condition that Nicola wasn’t invited. It was a slap in the face. Later, when my family travelled to LA, they refused to see me at all.“My family values public promotion and endorsement above all else. Brand Beckham comes first.”He also brought up an alleged incident involving Nicola’s campaign for displaced dogs during LA wildfires, claiming Victoria did not support the effort.Featured image credit: Dave J Hogan / Getty

David Beckham was approached by reporters at the World Economic Forum in Davos as questions swirl over a very public dispute involving his eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham. The former England football captain, who is in Switzerland for the annual conference, declined to answer questions from Sky News about his relationship with Brooklyn or whether he had a message for him.Brooklyn, 26, broke his silence this week with a detailed post on social media in which he addressed ongoing rumours about a family rift. In that post, he wrote “I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.”The Beckham family has not issued a public response to Brooklyn’s statement, and at Davos, Sir David chose not to engage publicly when quizzed by journalists about it, instead smiling and moving on without comment.Brooklyn sent parents David and Victoria a legal notice warning that they can now contact him only via lawyers.

Reporters confronted him as he walked through the event venue, but he kept walking without engaging.The questions come in the wake of Brooklyn’s lengthy Instagram statement addressing his relationship with his parents and his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham.

Brooklyn Beckham has spoken out after it was alleged he blocked his whole family on Instagram just days before Christmas.

The 26-year-old's relationship with his family has been in the headlines in recent months after claims things were fraught between them.

His younger brother, 20-year-old Cruz Beckham, publicly addressed the claims just before Christmas after their parents, David and Victoria Beckham, were accused of unfollowing Brooklyn on Instagram.

Sharing a tabloid headline, Cruz slammed the report as "not true", claiming: "My mum and dad would never unfollow their son... Let's get the facts right.

"They woke up blocked… as did I."

His comments came after people noticed that Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz, 30, had apparently unfollowed his parents on Instagram.

The true cause of the apparent falling out is not known, however, rumors first emerged that Nicola had allegedly butted heads with Victoria over her wedding dress and the first dances at the couple's wedding in April 2022.

Brooklyn was then accused of covering up a 'Mama's Boy' tattoo with a new design in honor of his wife, and the pair were also notably absent from dad David's 50th birthday party earlier this year.

While Brooklyn has largely remained silent since Cruz's post, he did share a snap on Christmas Eve which many have taken as potentially being a veiled message to his family.

He shared a photo of him and Nicola holding hands with Nicola, captioning the photo: "My Everything."

It is believed the couple spent the holidays with Nicola's parents in Miami, Florida, while the Beckhams shared snaps of the rest of the family spending Christmas Day in the UK.

Brooklyn previously spoke to the Daily Mail, saying: "There's always going to be people saying negative things, but I have a very supportive wife.

"Me and her, we just do our thing, we just keep our heads down and work. And we're happy. Everyone is always going to say rubbish."

Victoria also spoke publicly about the situation on the Call Her Daddy podcast and said: "I mean, we're such a close family and, you know, communication is key and we always let them know that anything that they want to talk about, you know, this is a safe forum. You know, that's really important."

David Beckham has extended a touching olive branch to his estranged son Brooklyn, sharing heartfelt family tributes on Instagram as 2025 came to a close.

The football legend, 50, posted a series of snaps that included Brooklyn, 26, marking a sharp contrast from last year when Brooklyn was notably absent from major family events.

Sharing a black-and-white image of wife Victoria cradling Harper and snuggling with Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz, David wrote: “You are my life [heart emojis]. I love you all, love daddy. On to 2026 x”

In a separate post, he shared a selfie with Brooklyn, cheek to cheek, captioned: “I love you all so much.”

Beckham’s 2025 highlights reel had excluded Brooklyn

The surprise posts come just days after David dropped his 2025 highlights reel - a recap that celebrated his 50th birthday, his knighthood by King Charles, and other big family milestones. Noticeably absent from the reel was Brooklyn.

David had written: “I feel very lucky to have had the year I’ve had in 2025 full of moments that I will never forget from my 50th to my knighthood (still pinching myself ) and then finishing with winning the MLS as an owner.”

He added, “I‘m so grateful to my incredible wife, my amazing children, my friends and team I work with every single day nothing would have been possible without you all… But as Sir Alex Ferguson would say ‘On to the next‘. Thank you for the incredible memories I will forever remember 2025. Victoria I love you & our kids.”

While he didn’t name Brooklyn directly, the gesture of including him in the new posts seems like a clear step toward reconciliation.

Family feud and Christmas apart

The Beckham family rift became public earlier in the year after Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz skipped David’s 50th birthday in May.

Tensions appeared to escalate when Cruz hinted the couple had blocked family members on social media. Brooklyn later posted a TikTok using the lyrics: “Sorry I cannot hear you I’m kinda busy,” while Nicola shared, “I love being home” during their holiday in the US.

They remained Stateside for Christmas, sharing cozy pictures in matching outfits. Brooklyn commented on Nicola’s post: “You’re my sweetie pie!”

Meanwhile, David and Victoria spent Christmas in the Cotswolds, sharing a video of them dancing together to Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibb’s “Guilty,” with the lyric, “And we’ve got nothing to be sorry for...” raising eyebrows over its timing.

Brooklyn also missed the wedding of childhood friend Holly Ramsay, which the rest of the Beckham clan attended. Victoria even designed the dress for Holly’s mother.
