Overview
- Brooklyn Beckham watched the World Cup final at home on Sunday while David, Victoria and their younger children were photographed together in a VIP box at MetLife Stadium.
- In June Brooklyn starred in a DoorDash advert that opened with him saying he would watch the tournament from home, a line widely read as a public dig and which has drawn criticism from some friends of the family.
- Reports in tabloid coverage say David Beckham secured heavy advertising income during the tournament, with a cited figure of about £19 million that has not been independently verified.
- Social media moments kept the story in view: Victoria's muted quarter‑final reaction became a viral meme and David publicly defended her, and he was booed by some fans after declining to pick a winner when asked at a public appearance.
- The events build on a longer shift toward US commercial activity for the Beckhams after their 2007 move and David's 2022 sale of a majority stake in DB Ventures to Authentic Brands, and reporters say family visibility has been used to position projects such as a reported, unconfirmed beauty launch for daughter Harper.
