Victoria Beckham 'offers Christmas olive branch to Brooklyn' amid family feud

Victoria Beckham has reportedly taken steps to hand her son Brooklyn the trademark rights to his name amid the 27-year-old self-styled chef’s ongoing feud with his family.

The fashion designer, 52, 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.

He claimed: “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.

“They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated.

“My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since.”

The allegation has been strongly denied by those close to David and Victoria.

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 has 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.

A source told the newspaper: “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.

“This wasn’t simply a passive renewal though; Victoria actively sought to ensure the smooth handing over of trademarks as soon as she received the documentation requests.”

The Beckham family feud became public in early 2025, although tensions are believed to have been bubbling away since Brooklyn and Nicola's lavish $3million wedding back in 2022.

The fallout has continued to overshadow David and Victoria, who have reportedly not spoken to their eldest son since at least January.

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 trademarks were originally secured to protect the Beckham children's names, but became a source of tension after Brooklyn's public accusations.

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.”
