David and Victoria Beckham are one of the most famous and lasting celebrity couples. Known for their individual successes in sports, music and fashion, the couple has typically kept their family life out of the public eye. But now, as their children launch careers of their own, we’re starting to learn even more about the Beckham children.
With more and more media attention on Brooklyn Beckham’s high-profile wedding to Nicola Peltz, Romeo Beckham’s flourishing soccer and modeling stardom, Cruz Beckham’s budding musical career and Harper Beckham’s occasional appearance on her famous family’s social media platforms, there’s one thing all the kids have in common.
Each one of the Beckhams seems to be a well-raised, respectful and hard-working young person.
Here are 5 strict rules the Beckham kids follow.
1. The Beckham kids must be courteous.
David has admitted to being quite a strict disciplinarian with his kids, particularly his three boys.
“Me and Victoria were brought up with strong discipline by our parents and to have respect for people and our boys have definitely got that,” he said in a 2013 interview. “They’ve been saying their please and thank-yous since they were two or three years old. They’re very polite boys,” he added.
2. They have to follow ‘strict’ dating rules.
With three boys who are close in age, Victoria and David have had their work cut out for them when it comes to monitoring their love lives. In 2016, David opened up about what dating rules the couple had imposed in their household as the kids reached a certain age.
3. Brooklyn and Romeo Beckham had part-time jobs as teenagers.
Despite their parent’s enormous net worths, the Beckham kids know the value of a dollar. In 2014, it was widely reported that a 15-year-old Brooklyn had taken up a weekend job and a London coffee shop to earn some extra cash.
“David and Victoria want them to know what hard work is like,” a source said at the time.
4. David and Victoria Beckham monitor their children’s social media.
When Brooklyn Beckham joined Instagram in 2015, his fame quickly skyrocketed. But David and Victoria weren’t going to let him get too carried away.
“Because our 16-year-old son, Brooklyn, he’s got like four million Instagram followers. We control everything that he posts, everything that he does, and it’s the same with our other kids,” he shared in an interview.
5. The Beckham kids had to stay humble.
It seems like not letting fame get to their kids’ heads is a big priority for the Beckhams. In fact, they even tried to keep their fame a mystery to their children to keep them humble. In a 2017 interview, Brooklyn revealed that he had no idea how famous his parents were until he was a teen.
