Cruz Beckham attended the 2026 World Cup alongside father David this week and took the opportunity to make a public remark about brother Brooklyn's already-controversial advertising work, according to Page Six.

Brooklyn Beckham had appeared in a World Cup commercial that drew scrutiny before Cruz said anything at all. Cruz's comment, made in a public context during a high-profile international event, added a family dimension to what had been a straightforward commercial criticism.

The two brothers have been publicly estranged for some time. David Beckham was present.

Brooklyn has not responded publicly as of filing time. The commercial that started the conversation remains in circulation.
