Victoria Beckham was back to her witty ways on Sunday, leaving fans in stitches as she teased her husband David Beckham while he proudly showed off his homemade jam. The couple, who have long entertained the public with their playful banter, turned their country kitchen into the latest stage for their lighthearted humor.
The former Spice Girl filmed David in their Cotswolds home as he worked with freshly picked plums from their garden. Beaming at his creation, David held up jars humorously labeled “David Beckjam,” a cheeky nod to his new hobby. Victoria, never one to miss the chance for a joke, quipped about his “impressive plums,” a remark that quickly reminded fans of her famous “Goldenballs” nickname for him back in 2001.
David appeared to enjoy every moment, even documenting the process himself on Instagram. He showed baskets of fruit before joking to his wife, “Darling, my plums are simmering!” The jars, complete with their playful labels, instantly caught attention online, with many fans encouraging him to turn his new hobby into a side business.
But while the moment appeared lighthearted, it also fueled fresh speculation about the Beckham family’s private life. The jam-making comes amid rumors of tension with their eldest son Brooklyn Beckham. The 26-year-old aspiring chef recently posted his own jam-making tutorial online, a move that some interpreted as a subtle response to his father’s newfound passion.
Reports have suggested that Brooklyn has had limited contact with his parents in recent months, adding weight to speculation of a rift within the family. His absence was especially noted during a recent family gathering in London to celebrate Romeo Beckham’s 23rd birthday, which saw the rest of the Beckham siblings come together without him.
The comparisons did not end there. Royal watchers couldn’t help but point out that David Beckham’s new “Beckjam” jars echo Meghan Markle’s move into the artisanal food market. The Duchess of Sussex recently launched her own luxury jam under her lifestyle brand As Ever, which quickly became a talking point among both critics and admirers.
Meghan Markle’s jam, famously gifted to friends such as Serena Williams and Abigail Spencer before becoming part of her commercial line, has been tied closely to her Netflix project With Love, Meghan. Much like David, Meghan’s simple gesture of sharing preserves quickly spiraled into a media sensation.

While Beckham laughed off suggestions that he was becoming an entrepreneur, the overlap with Meghan’s project has only amplified public chatter. Social media quickly lit up with jokes about a possible “jam rivalry” between David Beckham and Meghan Markle, with some fans cheekily calling for a collaboration between the two global icons.
Despite the noise, David and Victoria appeared focused on enjoying their countryside life. The football legend has often shared glimpses of his rural hobbies, from tending beehives to harvesting fruit, showing fans a side of himself far removed from the stadium spotlight. Victoria, meanwhile, continues to blend her fashion empire with her signature dry humor, ensuring the Beckhams remain a constant fixture in headlines.
Still, the ongoing rumors about Brooklyn Beckham cast a shadow over the family’s otherwise picture-perfect image. Insiders have long hinted that Brooklyn’s independence, along with his marriage to Nicola Peltz, has created distance between him and his famous parents. Whether intentional or coincidental, his own jam-making video seemed to fuel talk of competition and subtle defiance.
Yet for David and Victoria, the focus on family traditions and countryside hobbies appears to be their way of staying grounded. Fans adore seeing the playful exchanges between the couple, which serve as a reminder that even international celebrities can find joy in simple pleasures like gardening and jam-making.
The buzz over David’s jam jars shows just how quickly the Beckham name can dominate headlines. Whether linked to Meghan Markle’s brand or to speculation about Brooklyn, the story proves that the Beckhams remain as relevant and newsworthy as ever.
For now, David insists his jam is just for fun, but with public interest soaring, the “Beckjam” label may just become the family’s next big brand. And if Meghan Markle is watching, she might have to keep an eye on this unexpected new rival in the world of luxury spreads.
