5 reasons why Romeo Beckham, David and Victoria’s lookalike supermodel son, is about to become Brand Beckham’s next big superstar
His parents are one of the most famous celebrity duos in showbiz history, so it was only a matter of time before Romeo Beckham’s rise to fame began.
Now 18, his striking resemblance to both Victoria and David Beckham is uncanny. In fact, whether you see Posh or Becks when looking at photos of Romeo is pretty much on par with the #TheDress debate (let’s not get back into white and gold vs blue and black).
Here are five ways that Romeo is following in the footsteps of his famous parents.

He’s landed his first major magazine cover
Romeo is certainly no stranger to the spotlight, but his solo magazine cover debut on L’Uomo Vogue’s recent “Generation Issue” was a first.
The shoot, by photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, has made headlines for, surprise, surprise, the incredible family resemblance. While all the Beckhams are certainly blessed with good looks, Romeo is a bona fide supermodel if these photos are anything to go by (and we’re not talking about one of those fake celeb kid kind of “supermodel”).
Needless to say, his parents are well pleased. His proud mum and dad even shared the exciting news on their Instagram feeds. “So proud of you @romeobeckham ,” dad David wrote. “What an incredible first cover for @luomovogue.”
He’s off the market
You’d hope that with a name like Romeo, he’d be a romantic. And fortunately for his Instagram-official girlfriend, he seems to be.
Romeo is dating 18-year-old British model Mia Regan – nicknamed Mimi Moocher, which is also her handle on Instagram – and has been for quite some time.
The two lovebirds were initially separated during the early stages of quarantine in 2020, but Regan eventually then joined him and his family on holiday in Italy, and now makes regular appearances on his Instagram account.
She’s also reportedly been tapped to be the face of a Victoria Beckham collection, so things must be serious.

In famous Beckham style, he just got his first tattoo
Now that he’s 18, Romeo has followed in dad David and brother Brooklyn’s footsteps by getting inked (Posh had hers lasered off so she doesn’t count).
The teen was pictured showing off a giant eagle tattoo on his leg as he played football with his dad.
The new black and white ink job appears to be an eagle in flight on his right calf. Fans have noticed that it has some resemblance to an eagle tattoo that David has.
He wants to be like his dad (for now)
Romeo recently revealed that he’s hoping to follow in his dad’s footballer footsteps.
When a fan on Instagram asked: “Do u aim on becoming a football player [sic]”, the youngster simply replied “yeah :)”
The football news is quite surprising, considering that he has been an active tennis player up until this point (a boy can change his mind, right?). In fact, Posh and Becks built a US$40,000 tennis court for Romeo to practise on at their Cotswolds farm house in 2018. He’s even had training sessions with top players including Andy Murray and Grigor Dimitrov.
However, the tennis court has since been bulldozed and replaced with a football pitch to match the teen’s latest sporting ambitions. As you do.

He’s the perfect big brother
“2 princesses”, he captioned the post.
