Brooklyn Beckham is seemingly referencing his conflict with his family in a new advertising campaign.

The model and son of David Beckham and Victoria Beckham appeared in a brief promo for DoorDash that premiered on Monday.

The ad shows Brooklyn sitting on a couch holding World Cup tickets as the sound of a televised soccer game plays in the background.

"You're probably wondering why I'm watching the FIFA World Cup 2026 from home," Brooklyn says, smirking. "It's a long story."

The ad then shows text on screen that reads: "It's complicated. More soon."

** has reached out to representatives for David and Victoria Beckham for comment.

David Beckham attended the FIFA festivities in Los Angeles on Friday as the USMNT played their first match of the 2026 World Cup. Brooklyn was not present alongside his father, nor did he attend David's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony that same day alongside his siblings.

The athlete's son has not appeared alongside his family in public since he posted a lengthy statement on social media accusing his parents of "trying endlessly to ruin" his relationship with his wife Nicola Peltz.

Brooklyn claimed that his mother's fashion line planned to provide Peltz's wedding dress for the couple's nuptials in 2022, but canceled "in the eleventh hour," and alleged that his parents "repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name" before his wedding day. He also claimed that he has received "endless attacks" from his parents "both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders."

The day after Brooklyn's series of posts, David discussed his children's online activity as part of a broader conversation about social media. "They make mistakes," he said. "Children are allowed to make mistakes. That's how they learn. That's what I try to teach my kids, but, you know, you have to sometimes let them make those mistakes as well."

When asked about her relationship with Brooklyn in a *WSJ Magazine* interview, Victoria declined to mention her eldest son by name specifically. "We love our children so much," she said, noting that she and her husband "always tried to be the best parents that we can be."

She added, "All we've ever tried to do is protect our children and love our children. And you know, that's all I really want to say about it."

In his own Instagram Stories post, David wrote, "27 Today. Happy Birthday Bust," along with a second post that said, "Love you x."
