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

Detailed summary

Victoria Beckham has reportedly moved to hand Brooklyn the trademark rights to his name, 10 months after he accused his parents of trying to make him sign them away

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.

It comes 10 months after Brooklyn accused his parents of trying to pressure him into giving up the rights to his name.

In a lengthy Instagram statement on January 19, he also accused David and Victoria of controlling media coverage of the family and trying to "ruin" his relationship with wife Nicola Peltz Beckham.

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.
