But the company that makes Beck's beer is set to challenge it.
It comes after the Beckham family feud was blown open last month when Brooklyn, 26, missed all of David's 50th birthday celebrations.
A source said: 'It's one thing after another for Brooklyn.
"First his row with his dad blows up — and now he's got another Beck's looking like it's going to become a bit of a headache.'

Brooklyn applied in January to use the name 'Becks Buns' within his Buster Hot Sauce Inc company.
However, the beer's German parent firm Brauerei Beck & Co has opposed it and been granted an extension until next month to file documents.
The company is part of alcohol giant AB InBev, which produces one in four lagers sold worldwide, including Stella Artois and Budweiser as well as Beck's.
Brooklyn launched his first hot sauce, Cloud 23, last year and said: 'It's been a passion project of mine for the last 2½ years, something I've literally put everything into. I've never worked so hard on anything in my life.'

His parents attended the launch event in LA.
However, insiders said their relationship has 'never been more fractured'.
Those close to Brooklyn — who is married to US actress Nicola Peltz, 30 — insist he made a private attempt to meet his dad ahead of his 50th.
But that was vehemently denied by sources close to the former England captain.

It was also claimed Nicola, who has been accused of 'controlling' her husband, had hired a PR guru.
Those close to her believe she is being 'unfairly blamed' for the issues.
KICK? NO HE'LL EDIT
FOOTIE icon David Beckham is to guest edit Country Life mag in October.
Editor-in-chief Mark Hedges said: 'David told me he reads every issue from cover to cover.'
David, who lives in a £12million manor in Oxfordshire, said: 'I am really looking forward to working with the team to produce an issue that will celebrate the countryside.'
Mr Hedges said the October edition will feature David's 'favourite view and his best-loved recipe'.

Iconic author reveals shock at horror legend pal Stephen King's surprise Scottish football connection

The author is back in Scotland this week to launch the Stirling-based literary bash HORROR icon Stephen King left author pal Linwood Barclay stunned when he arrived for a chat wearing a Buckie Thistle strip. The two bestselling writers have been mates for decades but The Shining and Carrie legend's support for the Highland League minnows was a twist Linwood just did not see coming. Advertisement 2 Linwood is coming to Scotland and excited to meet his fans Credit: Getty 2 Stephen King is a supporter of Highland League side Buckie Thistle King, who has sold more than 350million books, struck up a friendship with the Moray club after he featured them in his 2020 bestseller If It Bleeds. And the 77-year-old proudly sported the green and white merch when doing a video conference with Linwood for the Bloody Scotland crime writing festival during lockdown. Linwood - who is back in Scotland this week to launch the Stirling-based literary bash - said: 'I did that Zoom call with Steve for Bloody Scotland four years ago and that was the sweater he wore. 'I remember because I thought, 'what the heck is that?' as I had no idea of his football connection.' Advertisement Now after writing over 25 best selling crime books the former journalist will follow in his famous pal's footsteps with the release of his first horror novel called Whistle. It features a children's author called Annie Blunt who moves to a small town in upstate New York with her young son Charlie for a new start after the tragic death of husband. But when Charlie finds a forgotten train set in a locked shed in the grounds of their new house it sets in motion a disturbing set of events. However, Toronto-based Linwood insists he wasn't nervous even when he sent his first draft to the undisputed king of genre. Advertisement He says: 'I wasn't intimidated by that. I think the fact is that if you had told me 30 years ago when I was reading Steve's novels that I would even know his email address, never mind emailing each other, then I wouldn't have believed it. 'But Steve is very supportive and encouraging. I feel very privileged and lucky to have the friendship I have with him.' Trailer for Stephen King's 'excessively violent' new movie BANNED by four TV networks However, far from talking about the grim and grisly, the pair normally swap Netflix recommendations. Linwood, 70, says: 'Every once in a while I get an email and it's like, 'are you watching this show, such and such?'. Advertisement 'I sent him a note last week saying 'If you've not watched it yet you should try Mobland (with Pierce Brosnan and Tom Hardy)'. I really hope they make a second season of it.' He adds: 'But it really is very troubling in the sense that I remember being at a book event a few years ago where all of the writers were sitting around saying 'are you watching this show?'. Nobody was saying, 'have you read this book?'. 'It just sort of hit us that the competition is not other writers, it's these TV shows where you can binge all this material at once. 'So I feel like you've got to write something that will make people stop streaming TV at least for a little while.' Advertisement Fans of Linwood's books, including The Accident, Elevator Pitch and Find You First, praise his explosive scenes. But the writer believes that is down to his love of 60s TV shows including The Man From U.N.C.L.E starring Scots actor David McCallum as Russian spy Illya Kuryakin. He says: 'That was my favourite show and from the age of 11, anything I wrote I was thinking of it like it was on a screen.' But the married dad could only dream of being a bestselling author when he grew up on his parents trailer park in the Kawartha Lakes region of Ontario. Advertisement In the early 70s when he was 16, Linwood ended up running the place following the sudden death of his father. He recalls: 'My mum managed it, but I did like, 90 per cent of the work. Including the daily task of burying fish guts, from the fisherman who had gutted their catch. 'I had to haul it out into the woods and bury it. So on days when the writing doesn't go well, I always think it could be worse. I could still be burying fish guts.' Linwood left the trailer park to begin a long career in newspapers until the publication of his first novel No Time for Goodbye in 2007 - which became an instant international bestseller. But now with his first horror novel he's hoping to emulate pal Stephen. The model train enthusiast says: 'My book starts off with a train set because it just doesn't seem fair to me that in the horror genre, when it comes to toys, it's always dolls that get to be evil or maybe a little mechanical monkey or a rocking horse. Advertisement 'So I thought, 'I wonder if I could make toy trains scary?'. I want this book to be able to do for toy trains what Chucky did for dolls and or what Stephen King did for clowns.' Whistle by Linwood Barclay is out now in hardback priced £20 and in audio and ebook from HarperCollins. For more info on the Bloody Scotland International Crime Writing Festival, visit the website.

Meet Jackie Apostel, Cruz Beckham's Much Older Girlfriend

When you enter into a family as famous as the Beckhams – comprised of David and Victoria Beckham and their four children, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper Seven – then you also enter a world of fame, fortune and unending attention. Brooklyn's wife of three years, Nicola Peltz Beckham, knows this all too well. As does Cruz's girlfriend, Jackie Apostel. The latter has garnered particular attention because of the couple's age gap. Cruz is 19 years old, a decade younger than Jackie, who is 29. So who is Jackie? And how did she meet Posh and Becks' youngest son? Read on to find out more.

She released her EP, The Reformation , in 2020, but announced in an Instagram post two years later that she would no longer be releasing music as an artist. Instead, Jackie wished to focus solely on songwriting and producing. 'My intention was and has never been to become a recording, touring artist,' she wrote. 'I'm a studio rat, I'm a creator, I'm a writer, a producer and an artist in many ways, but releasing the songs we did myself was always just a way of showcasing the tracks.' There is a 10 year age gap between Cruz Beckham and his girlfriend Jackie. It's not clear exactly how the duo first met, but they were first spotted together at Glastonbury festival in June 2024.

(Photo: Getty) Jackie and Cruz have been dating for a year and have already travelled the world together, collaborated in the studio and attended Victoria Beckham fashion shows and several infamous Beckham parties. They confirmed their relationship in October when Cruz publicly wished Jackie a happy birthday on his Instagram Stories. The couple regularly tag each other in mirror selfies and photos from their everyday lives. In January 2025, Cruz shared multiple photos with Jackie in Brazil and captioned it, 'So 2025 is going to be good, right? ❤️.' Jackie Apostel and Cruz Beckham in April 2025.

In June, Jackie shared a framed photo of her and Cruz alongside a series of other images and videos of him captioned 'a good year' to mark their anniversary. Meanwhile Cruz wrote '1 year down, plenty to go'. Cruz's older brother Brooklyn, 26, has been married to Nicola Peltz, 30, since April 2022 and they live together in LA. Meanwhile, Romeo, 22, has recently split from his girlfriend of seven months, Kim Turnbull, reportedly due to their busy schedules. Prior to this relationship, he was with model and influencer Mia Regan for five years. Nikki Peach is a writer at Grazia UK, working across entertainment, TV and news.
