Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield has reunited with his estranged family after an ugly spat and a $12million lawsuit.
Back in 2024, the NFL star sued his father's company, claiming breach of contract and alleging that between 2018 and 2021, Camwood Capital Management Group - as well as its subsidiaries - took $12m from the Mayfields without their knowledge or consent.
On the Camwood website, Mayfield's father James is listed as founder and senior managing director, while the quarterback's brother Matt works as managing director.
The lawsuit claimed 'substantial sums of money belonging to Baker and Emily Mayfield' were transferred from their accounts to businesses linked to his father and brother.
'Petitioners have been unable to account for, or obtain information about, the current location and/or status of those funds,' the suit continued.
But in April 2025, Mayfield and his wife, Emily, took their daughter Kova - then just one - to meet her relatives in Texas.

'In the past few months, I've been reconnected with my family,' Mayfield told the Tampa Bay Times. 'It's been good. Also, for them to have two grandbabies, it's tough.'
Emily Mayfield gave birth to a son, Maverick, earlier this year.
'What's in the past is in the past. (My wife) Emily and I took (daughter Kova) down right around her first birthday... it was the first time they met her, and you (could) tell it just melted them.'
Following the 2024 lawsuit, the Mayfields reached a confidential settlement with Camwood Capital Management Group, with the quarterback expected to recoup nearly $12million, plus interest. But then another lawsuit was filed, claiming the agreement had not been fulfilled.
'To date, Camwood Capital has not repaid even one dollar under the Settlement Agreement,' the suit read. 'As a result, Plaintiffs have been left with no choice but to file suit for breach of the Settlement Agreement to recover the assets improperly taken from them.'
Now, though, the family is healing. 'You can't put yourself on a pedestal and act like I haven't made mistakes in my life. I had the ability to forgive and that was what I wanted to get across,' Mayfield told the Tampa Bay Times.
'But we're here and the door is open. The past few months, we have made good progress and began reconnecting.'
