David Beckham watches World Cup final without son Brooklyn

2026-07-20 · David Beckham · Player Focus

David Beckham attended the 2026 FIFA World Cup final in New Jersey with his wife Victoria and three of their children, but son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz were noticeably absent, watching from their Los Angeles home instead. The snub comes amid ongoing family tensions, with Brooklyn previously accusing his parents of attempting to sabotage his marriage.

What happened at the World Cup final?

David and Victoria Beckham, along with their children Romeo, Cruz, and Harper, were spotted at MetLife Stadium for the Argentina vs. Spain final. The family wore custom Beckham 26 football shirts to mark the occasion. Meanwhile, Brooklyn and Nicola shared a photo of themselves watching the match from home, with Brooklyn joking in a DoorDash ad: You're probably wondering why I'm watching the FIFA World Cup 2026 from home... It's a long story.

Why is Brooklyn absent?

Brooklyn has been estranged from his parents since earlier this year, when he accused them of trying to ruin his relationship with Nicola. In a scathing statement, he claimed Victoria canceled Nicola’s wedding dress at the last minute and that his parents pressured him into signing away his name rights before the wedding. They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated, he wrote.

What have David and Victoria said?

Neither David nor Victoria has directly addressed Brooklyn’s allegations. However, Victoria told reporters in an interview that she and David have always tried to be the best parents they can be. We’ve been in the public eye for more than 30 years right now, and all we’ve ever tried to do is protect our children and love our children, she said.

What’s next for the Beckhams?

The family feud remains unresolved, with no public signs of reconciliation. Brooklyn and Nicola continue to live separately from the rest of the Beckhams, while David and Victoria maintain their high-profile presence in sports and entertainment circles.
