Brooklyn Beckham is said to be increasingly frustrated after his parents, David Beckham and Victoria Beckham, publicly included him in their Father’s Day tributes despite their ongoing estrangement.
The latest development comes after David shared a heartfelt Instagram post celebrating Father’s Day, featuring both a childhood photograph with Brooklyn and a family image showing all four of his children. Alongside the pictures, David wrote: “Being a dad is my most important job – I love you all and thank you mummy @victoriabeckham for giving me our beautiful family. Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads around the world.”
Victoria also made sure to include Brooklyn in her own emotional message to her husband, presenting a united family image despite the ongoing tensions behind the scenes.
While Brooklyn has chosen not to respond publicly, reports suggest he was far from pleased by the posts. According to sources, the eldest Beckham son believes the public displays only reopen old wounds and prolong the family dispute.
An insider claimed that Brooklyn was angered by the decision to feature him in the Father’s Day tributes, alleging that he has repeatedly asked his parents to stop involving him publicly. The source added that he wishes the matter could be left behind rather than continually resurfacing through social media posts.
The fractured relationship between Brooklyn and his famous parents has reportedly worsened over the past year. Shortly before Christmas, Brooklyn is said to have blocked both David and Victoria on Instagram. It was later reported that lawyers representing Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz, requested that any communication with the Beckham family be handled through legal representatives.
The latest controversy follows criticism surrounding Brooklyn’s recent partnership with food delivery company DoorDash. The campaign attracted attention after Brooklyn appeared to reference his family situation in a promotional video released during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
In one teaser clip, Brooklyn looked directly at the camera and joked: “You’re probably wondering why I’m watching the FIFA World Cup 2026 from home… It’s a long story.”
The remark was widely interpreted as a subtle dig at his parents, prompting backlash from fans and reportedly causing further upset within the Beckham family. Sources close to the family claimed David and Victoria were devastated by what they viewed as a public joke about a deeply painful personal situation.
Reports have also suggested Brooklyn received a substantial payday for the campaign, with estimates placing his earnings at more than $1 million. While supporters argued the deal demonstrated the strength of his personal brand, critics accused him of benefiting financially from the highly publicised family feud.
Friends of the Beckham family were reportedly stunned by the advert, arguing that using estrangement as a marketing angle was particularly hurtful given the emotional toll the situation has allegedly taken on relatives, including Brooklyn’s siblings and grandparents.
The dispute has become one of the most closely watched celebrity family fallouts in recent years, with reconciliation appearing increasingly distant despite David and Victoria’s repeated public attempts to extend an olive branch.
