245

David Beckham, renowned as one of the greatest soccer players and a global fashion icon, embraces another role with utmost dedication: fatherhood. Married to Victoria Beckham, famously known as Posh Spice from the Spice Girls, the couple has four children together, who are all beginning to carve out their own paths in the world. The Beckham family recently appeared together at the UK premiere of the Netflix docuseries Beckham, which offers a deep dive into David’s journey to soccer stardom and his relationship with his family.

Brooklyn Joseph Beckham

Brooklyn Joseph, the eldest at 24, was partly named after the city of New York, where Victoria discovered she was pregnant in 1998. Brooklyn initially pursued soccer, even joining Arsenal FC’s development program, but eventually shifted his focus to modeling and photography. With appearances in Man About Town magazine and Vogue, Brooklyn honed his skills in photography, even interning with renowned British photographer David Sims.

Brooklyn is married to Nicola Peltz, an actress and the daughter of billionaire Nelson Peltz. The couple made their relationship public in January 2020 and tied the knot in April 2022. Brooklyn is also exploring his passion for cooking, hosting the Facebook Watch show Cookin’ with Brooklyn, where he dreams of opening his own pub and creating his own line of kitchenware.

Romeo James Beckham

Romeo James, 21, follows in his father’s footsteps as a professional soccer player. He played for Inter Miami CF’s development team, the MLS club co-owned by his father, and later signed a one-year deal with Brentford’s B team in the English Premier League. Before focusing on soccer, Romeo explored modeling and tennis, training with top athletes like Andy Murray and Caroline Wozniacki.

Romeo has overcome health challenges, including epilepsy, which was diagnosed at age four. Despite this, he has achieved remarkable success in his athletic career. He is currently in a relationship with model Mia Regan, which reportedly began in 2019.

Cruz David Beckham

Cruz David, now 18, has taken after his mother Victoria by pursuing a career in music. He made his stage debut at just three years old during a Spice Girls concert. Cruz has since released his debut single “If Every Day Was Christmas” in 2016 to support Global’s Make Some Noise charity. A multi-talented musician, Cruz plays the guitar, mandolin, and piano, and is now recording his own music. He also has a “Posh” tattoo on his right arm as a tribute to his mother’s iconic Spice Girls persona.

Harper Seven Beckham

The Beckhams’ youngest, Harper Seven, was born in July 2011. Her name is a tribute to author Harper Lee, whose novel To Kill a Mockingbird is one of Victoria’s favorites. The number seven in her name symbolizes spiritual perfection and is also a nod to David’s famous jersey number.

At 12, Harper remains largely out of the public eye, as her parents strive to keep her childhood private. However, she has been seen participating in various activities, from soccer and horseback riding to martial arts. Harper also has a close friendship with Drew Barrymore’s daughters, Frankie and Olive. Interestingly, Harper has already shown a keen sense of fashion, even critiquing her mother’s past Spice Girls outfits for being too revealing.

The Beckham children, each talented in their own right, are poised to carry on their parents’ legacy while forging their own unique paths.
