Although Brooklyn Peltz Beckham has not discussed the possibility of dropping his last name, he made it clear that he does not want to reconcile with his family.
“I don’t want to reconcile with my family. I am not being controlled, I am standing up for myself for the first time in my life,” the Beckham family’s eldest son said in a statement shared on social media.
“All my life, my parents controlled the press stories about our family,” Brooklyn said of David and Victoria Beckham.
The 26-year-old also claimed that his mother, David, stopped designing his wife Nicola Peltz’s wedding dress at the ‘eleventh hour’.
For those unfamiliar, Brooklyn has already adopted Nicola’s last name, Peltz. However, with all the accusations the model has made against his family, it wouldn’t be a surprise if he decided to drop the Beckham surname.
Speak with HELLO! magazine Simarjot Singh Judge, attorney and founder of Judge Law, explained how easy it would be for Brooklyn to change the name.
“In England and Wales, an adult can change their surname at any time through a deed poll,” he explained. “Brooklyn does not require parental consent for this, and the process itself is legally simple.”
“Changing your legal name does not undo similarities or remove existing associations. If someone is publicly known by a certain name, that link does not disappear simply because the surname changes,” Simarjot said.
