Joanna Cooper has hit out at an online shop that she claims is using her brand name without her permission.

The influencer, whose husband is Irish Rugby legend Conor Murray, owns Coops Cocktails, a shop that sells pre-made cocktails.

However, Joanna has said that an identically named website has appeared and is also selling cocktails, claiming to be endorsed by her -- with the only difference between that website and hers being that the other website uses a .com suffix, while Joanna's uses a .ie suffix.

Taking to her Instagram on Thursday, Joanna hit out at the similar site, saying 'this is NOT my brand, coopscocktails.com are using my name without my consent. We ONLY sell from coopscocktails.IE.

'It's so disheartening seeing customers ordering from [the other website] thinking it's coopscocktails.IE, which is the only site I'm affiliated with.'

The CoopsCocktails.com site sells bottles that look similar to the ones Joanna has, although they've claimed in their about section that they're the real Coops Cocktails.

'Coops Cocktails is an Irish company, founded in 2023 by model and cocktail lover, Joanna Cooper, with the help of extremely talented Mixologists,' the website that isn't Joanna's said. 'We pride ourselves in using only premium spirits and all natural ingredients, making it easy for you to enjoy high-end bar standard drinks at home.'

Meanwhile on CoopsCocktails.ie, the about us section says 'Coops Cocktails was brought to life by model and content creator, Joanna Cooper. A self proclaimed Margarita connoisseur, Joanna loves hosting cocktail nights at home and so came about the idea of creating our easy serve, luxurious cocktails with the help of our fabulous mixologists.'

The cocktail brand was started by Joanna in 2024, with the drinks becoming so popular during launch that the site ended up crashing -- but that they managed to fix it. Mini bottles of pre-made cocktails and full-sized bottles can be bought on the site.

Joanna and Conor said I do in 2023, with them celebrating their second anniversary back in June.

After meeting on a night out in 2018, Conor and Joanna's relationship went from strength to strength quickly; even moving in together in 2020.

Speaking to host Ray D'Arcy on his RTÉ Radio 1, Conor explained: 'Joanna moved in fully at the start of lockdown which has been brilliant.'

'Thankfully we were planning it anyway, Joanna was due to move in at the end of the Six Nations back in March, it was happening anyway,' he added at the time.

After marking their fourth anniversary, Conor decided to get down on one knee and popped the question to Joanna in a romantic Dubai proposal in 2022, marrying in a quick turnaround time -- tying the knot in Portugal in June 2023.

The couple share one son, Alfie, who was welcomed into the world in 2024.
