David Beckham is doubling down on a now-infamous exchange with his wife Victoria Beckham, who alleged in their documentary that she had “working-class roots.”

In an Instagram post on Sunday, David, 48, shared a festive photo at a fancy table with his wife, 49, and her parents, all dressed up.

“Just a nice casual New Year’s Eve lunch at The Ritz  @victoriabeckham. Very working class,” he teased, jokingly noting that his in-laws left in their “Rolls Royce.”

David, who wore a suit in the photo, was referencing the now-viral clip from Netflix’s four-part documentary Beckham, which was released on Oct. 4.

The video showed David playfully interrupting the Spice Girls alum during a sit-down discussion for the doc. Victoria had explained that she and David come from families that were “very working class,” and as she finished her thought, her husband popped his head into the room during her interview and said, “Be honest.”

“I am being honest,” Victoria replied with a hint of defensiveness.

David, however, didn’t seem convinced, and then asked his wife, “What car did your dad drive you to school in?”

After nipping back and forth about the specifics of the vehicle, he kept repeating the question. Victoria eventually folded. “OK, in the ’80s, my dad had a Rolls Royce.”

“Thank you,” David responded with a satisfied grin, closing the door and retreating back to the room he was in.

The parents of sons Brooklyn, 24, Cruz, 18, and Romeo, 21, along with daughter Harper, 12, are known for lovingly roasting each other online — and Victoria doesn’t hold back on giving fans what they want: thirst traps of her tattooed husband.

Last month, the former pop star shared a cheeky photo of a shirtless David doing some handyman work around the house in his white Calvin Klein boxer briefs.

“Electrician came to fix the TV…..You’re welcome! ,” the fashion designer captioned the shot.

David recently teased his “dramatic” wife for getting tired at the gym, sharing a humorous photo of her “napping” on the floor.

“Not that my wife’s dramatic or anything but this is what happened this morning,” he wrote on a picture of Victoria stretched on her back next to a treadmill. The athlete also added an eye roll emoji and a GIF with the rotating sentence, “I wanna nap.”

All jokes aside, the couple doesn’t hesitate to share their love for one another and their family. Over Christmas, Victoria showed some shots of family fun during the Beckhams’ night out. “Special night with my family. I love you all so much x,” she captioned the pics.

David, for his turn, shared a featured photo of the pair embracing outside surrounded by palm trees with a margarita in front of him. “Merry Christmas to my amazing family & feeling very thankful for everything they do for me, love you all .”
