Victoria Beckham has reportedly moved to hand her son Brooklyn the trademark rights to his name, 10 months after he accused his parents of trying to pressure him into giving them up.
The 52-year-old fashion designer is said to have completed paperwork to transfer the rights to Brooklyn, 27, and his younger brothers, Romeo and Cruz, giving each ownership of their own name.
Accusations and Denials
The move comes after Brooklyn, a self-styled chef, publicly accused David and Victoria of trying to control media coverage of the family and attempting to "ruin" his relationship with wife Nicola Peltz Beckham. In a lengthy Instagram statement on January 19, he claimed his parents pressured and attempted to bribe him into signing away the rights to his name weeks before his wedding.
He wrote: "Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children." The allegation has been strongly denied by those close to David and Victoria.
Transfer and Renewal
The trademarks were originally secured by the couple while their children were minors to protect their names from potential commercial exploitation, according to The Sun. Now, in what could be seen as an olive branch ahead of Christmas, a source told the newspaper that Victoria has taken steps to transfer the trademark rights to Brooklyn's name back to him, amid hopes the move could pave the way for a "meaningful reconciliation" in the future.
The source said: "It was a real gift they (Victoria and David) gave each of them – setting Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper all up so well for life. Now each of the boys is an adult with their own careers and businesses, the trademarks will transfer to them next month at the point of renewal."
Family Fallout
The Beckham family feud became public in early 2025, although tensions are believed to have been bubbling since Brooklyn and Nicola's lavish $3 million wedding in 2022. David and Victoria have reportedly not spoken to their eldest son since at least January.
Over the summer, Brooklyn appeared to take a swipe at his family in an advert for US food delivery service DoorDash, which aired during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Smirking at the camera, he said: "You're probably wondering why I'm watching the FIFA World Cup 2026 from home... It's a long story."
The reported transfer could help resolve part of the dispute, although there is no sign of an immediate reconciliation. The source added: "Obviously Brooklyn has made his previous frustrations known, but hopefully this will put that all to bed."
