Romeo Beckham's incredible life as David and Victoria's son turns 21
Romeo Beckham is celebrating a milestone birthday today, just a few weeks after it was revealed his parents were having a 'rethink' about the party for special occasion.
The second eldest son of Victoria and David Beckham turned 21 on Friday, much to the excitement of his A-list family and adoring fanbase. "Happy Birthday Romeo Beckham…. The sweetest, kindest and most generous soul," Posh Spice, 49, wrote in a tribute to her son on her Instagram. "We are so proud of you and we love you more than words can express, you are our everything."
She also tagged Romeo's siblings, brothers Brooklyn, 24, and Cruz, 18, as well as his younger sister, 12-year-old Harper. Her kind message was echoed by husband David, who shared Victoria's gushing affection for the Brentford B footballer on his own social media.
"Happy 21st Birthday to my little man," the Inter Miami owner wrote. "Dad is so proud of the person that you have become, kind, generous and passionate about what you love, keep being you and dream big."

After inheriting his father's natural talent for sport, he joined Arsenal Academy at the tender age of 12 and began training for a career in professional football.

After being released from the club, he changed his path to focus on tennis under the guidance of Wimbledon superstars Andy Murray and Caroline Wozniacki. David, 48, admitted that he was initially "devastated" to learn his son was no longer interested in football, but also "relieved" he was willing to pursue other passions.
Romeo returned to football in 2020, however, making his debut on the pitch with Inter Miami, which is owned by dad David, the following year. In October 2022, he joined Brentford B on a six month loan. After impressing footie bosses with his skills, he signed a permanent contract with the club in June 2023.
David Beckham has previously said Romeo has inherited his determined nature, which is likely one of the qualities that's driven him to follow in his father's footsteps on the pitch. Speaking on 29 Questions with Gary Neville, he revealed, "I see a bit of me in all of the kids. The stubbornness of Romeo, he’s got my stubborn side."
As for his love life, Romeo has already experienced his fair share of romance and heartache. He rekindled his romance with Mia Regan last year, after breaking up with the British model a few months prior. The Gen Z pair first coupled up in 2019, after reportedly meeting through the same social media circles, and stepped out together in public on multiple occasions throughout their courtship. Struggling to make it work with their busy schedules, however, they called it quits in July 2022.

Their split didn’t last long though, with Romeo confirming they were back together on Instagram in 2022. In May 2023, he marked their 4th anniversary with a sweet post captioned, "Four years around the world with you." Mia, who goes by Mimi on social media, was quick to respond to the tribute, replying, "I love you," in the comment section below.
Mia, who is originally from Bath, has also shared snaps of her travelling to faraway countries and attending festivals with Romeo. She's even close with his VIP parents and siblings, with Victoria giving the 20-year-old her seal of approval before hiring her to model the denim collection for her clothing line, VB.
"Victoria and I have always been in conversation about fashion," Mia told British Vogue, before adding her appreciation that the Spice Girl has "trusted" her. It has also been reported that Romeo plans to propose to his beloved beau in the future, after watching his older brother Brooklyn tie the knot with Nicola Peltz in a lavish ceremony last April.
"It was clear the couple want a long-term future together and have already spoken about being soulmates," a source told the Mirror at the time.
