After a week of fresh controversy, public criticism, and accusations that he was profiting from his family feud, Brooklyn Beckham’s silence on Father’s Day spoke volumes.
While David Beckham extended what many viewed as another olive branch to his eldest son, Brooklyn remained noticeably absent from the family tributes that flooded social media.
The quiet snub came just days after the release of his controversial DoorDash campaign, leaving fans once again questioning whether the growing divide between Brooklyn and the Beckham family is any closer to healing.
Father’s Day arrived with a heartfelt message from David Beckham, but one person appeared missing from the celebrations.
For the second consecutive year, Brooklyn Beckham did not publicly acknowledge his father on the special occasion. The silence was particularly noticeable because David made sure to include his estranged son in his own tribute.
Taking to Instagram, he shared a childhood photograph of himself with the 27-year-old, along with a family photo featuring all four of his children.
David accompanied the photo with a caption that read, “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.”
Fans widely viewed the post as another attempt to keep the door open despite the ongoing family fallout. However, while David publicly included Brooklyn, there was no visible response from his eldest son.
Fans Shower David With Praises For His Show Of Unconditional Love
Although Brooklyn Beckham stayed quiet, David received a ton of support and applause from fans, who considered his post as an act of love.
“When a son discredits his parents. The parents would still love the son, always,” one fan wrote. Another added, “Love how he’s not left Brooklyn out given him his own photo with dad. This is so sad. Both must be hurting today I’m sure.”
A third fan also shared, “Brooklyn he will understand your love when he becomes a father too! He is just a child who will always need his parents, he just doesn’t realise it.”
Another fan wrote, “Happy Father’s Day, Sir David Beckham! You love all your children unconditionally. And I hope and pray your eldest son recognizes it.”
Brooklyn Beckham’s Brothers Publicly Celebrate Their Father
Unlike Brooklyn, his younger brothers had no hesitation marking the occasion.
Romeo Beckham shared a childhood photo alongside David and captioned it, “Happy Father’s Day to the best there is love u so much @davidbeckham.”
Meanwhile, Cruz Beckham posted a nostalgic photograph from a fishing trip he had taken with his father when he was younger.
The family support didn’t stop there. Victoria Beckham also made sure to celebrate her husband publicly while including Brooklyn in the family memories she shared online.
Posting a throwback holiday snap featuring David, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper, she praised her husband as a devoted father.
She wrote, “David you truly are the best daddy. Your greatest achievement has always been our beautiful children and we love you so much. Happy Father’s Day.”
Brooklyn’s DoorDash Ad Sparked Fresh Family Drama
The Father’s Day silence followed a week of renewed controversy surrounding Brooklyn Beckham.
As The Blast reported, the aspiring chef faced backlash a few days ago over a two-part DoorDash campaign that many interpreted as another dig at his famous family.
In the teaser clip, Brooklyn smirked while saying, “You’re probably wondering why I’m watching the Fifa World Cup 2026 from home… It’s a long story.”
Critics quickly interpreted the line as a reference to his fractured relationship with David and Victoria. Friends of the family reportedly described the couple as “devastated and inconsolable” over what they viewed as a public jab.
The longer version of the advertisement, released days later, generated even more criticism. Comment sections filled with backlash from followers who accused Brooklyn of using the family feud to generate publicity.
Brooklyn Beckham Faces Criticism For Profiting From The Rift
The DoorDash campaign didn’t just spark criticism over its messaging. Reports also surfaced suggesting Brooklyn received a significant payday for the partnership. According to reports, he was paid “at least $1 million” for the campaign.
According to Page Six, one source defended the deal, saying, “Anything that makes him money is good – it shows that his brand is there and flourishing.”
Not everyone shared that view. An insider told the outlet, “Brooklyn claims he wants peace and privacy and nothing to do with his family – now he’s trying to cash in on it all.”
The criticism was especially sharp because it came only months after Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz publicly expressed their desire for privacy.
