Cruz Beckham has stood in solidarity with his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, after his brother Brooklyn’s 'attack' amid their family feud.
Earlier this week, Brooklyn shared a social media video promoting a food delivery service during the World Cup, a tournament in which his dad has played three times.
"You’re probably wondering why I’m watching the FIFA World Cup 2026 from home…" he says in the DoorDash advert, which dropped Monday (15 June) before laughing: "It’s a long story."
Brooklyn was then handed a bag by a DoorDasher, but instead of taking his food, he put his tickets inside and handed the bag back, looking at the camera before saying: "These can go to someone… else."

Take a look at the ad here:
The Sun reports that sources close to David and Victoria weren't too happy over the ad 'attack', which comes around six months after Brooklyn shocked fans all over when he shared a lengthy statement to Instagram about his family, writing 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."
Speaking on his recent ad, a source told the outlet: "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 trying to cash in on it all.
"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."
Brooklyn's younger brother, Cruz, has since taken to social media to pay tribute to his dad's iconic '7' England shirt to celebrate England’s first World Cup game against Croatia, in which they won 4-2 on Wednesday (17 June).
Cruz's girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, shared footage of Cruz DIY-ing his top, drawing the number on the back with a marker pen, with his dad later signing it.
David played in the 1998, 2002 and 2006 World Cups.
Across the three tournaments, the father-of-four scored three goals, became the first England player to score at three different World Cups, and cemented his reputation as one of England’s most influential tournament players.
Tyla has reached out to Brooklyn Beckham's representatives for comment.
On 9 April 2022, Brooklyn and Nicola got married in a lavish ceremony in front of 500 guests at her family's estate in Palm Beach, Florida, two years after getting engaged.
Just months after the wedding, media sources were starting to report on a 'full-on cold war' between Nicola and her new mum-in-law.
According to Page Six, 'the build-up to the wedding was horrendous' and they 'can’t stand each other and don’t talk'.
Reports also claimed much of the feud came from Nicola's decision to wear a Valentino wedding dress instead of a piece designed by Victoria's fashion house, but they appeared to quash these rumours.
In March 2023, the Beckhams seemed to be happier than ever and were posing for photos at Victoria's Paris fashion show.
Two years on, it was reported that Brooklyn and Nicola had snubbed David's 50th birthday party at Cipriani Downtown Miami.
And then, just days later, TMZ claimed that Brooklyn and brother Romeo weren't speaking due to a fallout over Romeo's girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, who had a 'romantic connection' with Brooklyn 'several years ago'.
Cruz later insisted that Brooklyn and Kim had never actually dated, and in May of 2025, Brooklyn and Nicola were nowhere to be seen as the birthday celebrations for David continued.
In July 2025, Brooklyn and Nicola unfollowed Romeo and Cruz and vice versa.
The following month, David and Victoria are reported not to have attended the Peltz-Beckham vow renewals.
And by December that year, it was reported that Brooklyn no longer followed his parents, and they no longer followed him, and the youngest brother was quick to set the record straight.
Cruz wrote on his Instagram Stories about the claims that he and his family had unfollowed Brooklyn: "NOT TRUE. My mum and dad would never unfollow their son … Let's get the facts right. They woke up blocked … as did I."
In January 2026, it was claimed that Brooklyn sent a legal letter to his parents, insisting they only contact him via his lawyer; a rule which Victoria is believed to have broken when she 'liked' an Instagram post he made about a roast chicken.
In a shock statement posted on his Instagram Stories on 19 January, Brooklyn made some bombshell claims about his family, which included how his parents have tried to 'ruin' his relationship with Nicola, have always 'controlled' his life, and how 'Brand Beckham' comes first before anything else.
David shared a post to celebrate Brooklyn’s birthday, writing: "27 Today. Happy Birthday Bust. We love you."
He shared an old photo of Brooklyn as a child and tagged Victoria, but was unable to tag Brooklyn since his son has blocked him.
The post was met with stony silence from Brooklyn.
Harper, Brooklyn’s 14-year-old sister and the Beckhams’ youngest child, was photographed outside Brooklyn’s door hand-delivering a letter. Brooklyn and Nicola were believed to be in New York at the time.
A rep for the Peltz-Beckhams savagely responded: "That photographers were in place as the letter was hand delivered says it all - this was choreographed for the cameras."
