Romeo Beckham was born into money and fame. He is the son of famous footballer David Beckham and former Spice Girls singer, fashionista and businesswoman Victoria Beckham. Romeo has been his father’s image since a young age and has always enjoyed hanging around him and even following in his footsteps. Even his dad, David has admitted on social media that Romeo has a heart that is close to his heart and a dazzling smile that is likely to break more than one heart.

The Beckham dynasty boy has shown flashes of talent in the world of modeling and athletics (football and tennis), two talents both of his parents are known for. However, more recently, it seems like the youngster is focusing on his tennis career.

Who is Romeo Beckham? His age and biography

Romeo Beckham was born on September 1, 2002 at Portland Hospital in London, England. At the time of his birth, he weighed 7 pounds and 4 ounces. His father, David Beckham was plying his trade in English football at the time for Manchester United. Romeo’s mother, Victoria Beckham, whose band Spice Girls had gone on hiatus a few years earlier in 2000, was trying her hand at a solo career when Romeo was born.

Looking at his parents, the young man has a lot of success to watch. David Beckham has played for some of the best football teams in the world such as Manchester United, Real Madrid, PSG and LA Galaxy. He also won numerous individual and team accolades during his career, most notably at Manchester, where his team remarkably won six Premier League titles in eight seasons between 1995 and 2003. David, who represented the English national team, is also the first English player to win league titles in four different countries.

Victoria Beckham, meanwhile, is known for her singing career in the pop girl group Spice Girls. Their albums Spice, SpiceWorld, and Forever had singles that topped the music charts in 37 including the UK and the US. Victoria has also been a powerhouse in the fashion world since launching her eponymous fashion brand in 2008.

Due to the career of his father, Romeo Beckham, and his family moved around a lot. He spent his first year in England and then they moved to Madrid in Spain and then to the United States as his father was traded to different teams.

Romeo is the second son and the second child of his parents. His older brother, Brooklyn, was born in 1999, before his parents married. After Romeo’s birth, David and Victoria had two more children. a boy, Cruz and a girl, Harper.

Romeo Beckham and his two brothers were at one point enrolled in the Arsenal Football Club Academy much to the delight of his father, who was delighted to see his boys following in his footsteps. However, Romeo left the academy in 2015 eight months after his older brother Brooklyn did the same. He told his father that he had decided not to play football at all.

But before that, young Romeo had already tasted his mother’s world when he won his first modeling contract at the age of ten. It was a big deal for the young boy to land a deal of this importance with the big British fashion house Burberry. This deal allows him to stay with the brand, appearing in different campaigns and billboards until 2015. His last campaign for the brand was during the 2015 Christmas season.

More recently, Romeo has developed a love for the game of tennis and has taken it more seriously than football. Young Beckham trains very hard and even had training sessions with tennis great Andy Murray. Since 2015, Romeo has been training under tennis star Grigor Dimitrov, who has often commented on his dedication and discipline to the game as evidenced by his developing talent and healthy eating habits.

As expected, Romeo has appeared at many high profile events and shows such as the Teen Choice Awards; Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards; and Wimbledon. He was also on his mother’s reality show Being Victoria Beckham, and another Beckham dynasty reality show The Real Beckhams
