Victoria Beckham has reportedly completed paperwork to transfer the trademark rights to Brooklyn’s name to him, addressing a specific grievance in the family’s public dispute without any sign of an immediate reconciliation.

The fashion designer, 52, is said to have arranged for Brooklyn, 27, and his younger brothers, Romeo and Cruz, to take ownership of their respective name trademarks when they come up for renewal next month. Harper is also reported to be included in the wider transfer plans.

The move follows Brooklyn’s allegation that his parents tried to secure rights to his name shortly before his wedding to Nicola Peltz in 2022. Those close to David and Victoria have strongly denied that allegation.

Brooklyn said: “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.”

He also alleged that his refusal affected a financial deal and changed his parents’ treatment of him.

The explanation offered for the original trademarks is markedly different: David and Victoria secured them while their children were minors to protect their names from commercial exploitation. An unnamed source described the arrangements as a gift intended to support the children’s future careers and businesses.

That source said Victoria had actively sought a smooth handover as soon as she received the documentation requests, rather than simply allowing a routine renewal. The transfer has been presented as a possible Christmas olive branch, with hopes of a “meaningful reconciliation”.

The family rift became public in early 2025, although tensions are believed to date back to Brooklyn and Nicola’s $3 million wedding in 2022. Brooklyn and his parents have reportedly not spoken since at least January.

Transferring the trademarks could settle who controls the rights going forward. It would not, by itself, resolve the disputed account of what happened before the wedding or establish that family contact will resume.
