All About David and Victoria Beckham’s Son Romeo James Beckham

David and Victoria Beckham welcomed their second son in 2002

David and Victoria Beckham are nothing but proud of their second child, Romeo James Beckham. The couple welcomed their second son in September 2002, and he grew up to be a “kind” and “generous” young man. “We are so proud of you and we love you more than words can express, you are our everything,” Victoria wrote in a touching Instagram tribute for Romeo’s 21st birthday in 2023.

Like his parents, Romeo is fearless when pursuing his passions. He’s done some work in the modeling world for brands like Burberry and Vogue, but his true love appears to be athletics, like his father.

“I’ll always support the kids in whatever they want to do but I would love them to be footballers,” David told ESPN in 2007.

His dream came true in 2021 when Romeo joined Fort Lauderdale CF, the sister club of Inter Miami CF, co-owned by Beckham. He’s currently playing forward for Brentford B, a training group for the main Brentford FC.

Off the field, Romeo has a close relationship with his father. “Happy Father’s Day to the most talented and amazing dad there is. Love you so much,” he wrote on his Instagram Story in 2023.

Here’s everything to know about David and Victoria Beckham’s son, Romeo James Beckham.

He was born in 2002

Romeo was born on Sept. 1, 2002, in Westminster, London, weighing 7 lbs., 4oz. He was welcomed at Portland Hospital, and “because [big brother] Brooklyn was a breech birth, [Victoria] had to have a cesarean section … under doctor’s orders,” a spokesperson told Daily Mail.

He dealt with health issues early in life

During the first few years of Romeo’s life, he experienced health issues and visited the hospital various times. David and Victoria later revealed that he had been diagnosed with epilepsy, a condition that causes seizures and convulsions.

Reacting to this news, the paparazzi agreed to stop photographing Romeo to avoid triggering the condition with the flashes.

He’s a seasoned model

Fitting for the son of a fashion designer and international style icon, Romeo became interested in the industry at a young age.

He made his modeling debut at 10 years old in a campaign for Burberry Kids in 2013, which also featured Cara Delevingne, after being named the face of the brand’s children’s line.

He’s pursuing a soccer career like his dad

Romeo made his first real foray into his dad’s sport when he enrolled at the Arsenal Football Club Academy at age 13, though he was released after a year. Romeo then tried his hand at tennis — even training alongside pros like Andy Murray — before returning to soccer at 19 as a member of the then-Fort Lauderdale CF.

He’s dating model Mia Regan

Romeo has been dating model Mia Regan since May 2019. The pair made their red carpet debut at the British Fashion Awards two years later. Throughout their relationship, Romeo and Regan have frequently traveled the world together and documented their adventures on social media.
