Brooklyn Beckham, it must be said, is a bit of a free spirit in a family whose name rings everywhere. Born on March 4, 1999, in London, now 26 years old, he is 1.83 meters tall. Son of David Beckham, the football icon, and Victoria Beckham, former Spice Girl turned fashion designer, he has never lacked media attention. But honestly, finding his own path under that weight is no easy task.
We all know his face, of course, but what I have always found interesting is his somewhat lively journey, between football trials, modeling, photography, cooking… and now even Formula E. Married to Nicola Peltz since 2022, the young man tries to carve his own path away from the familiar football fields, with a lot of curiosity and sometimes a touch of clumsiness.
His childhood? Madrid, Los Angeles… he followed his father, at Real Madrid then LA Galaxy. That puts pressure on you, doesn’t it? No wonder he tried football with Arsenal’s youth club but well, it didn’t stick. Early on, he had to look elsewhere, searching for his passion, and even working in a café in London at 15, just to get some experience outside the family bubble.
That’s where his buzz starts, modeling, then photography. Oh yes, his first photo exhibit, “What I See”, released in 2017, is still talked about! Not a hit, far from it. He even faced harsh criticism, which must have stung his ego. But he doesn’t give up, he starts over, even tries cooking in a web series style, despite the critiques of his culinary skills. In short, Brooklyn is a guy who refuses to be confined to a single role.
Brooklyn Beckham, son of stars: a destiny under the spotlight
So, who is Brooklyn Beckham? Brooklyn Joseph Peltz-Beckham is the eldest of the famous Beckham couple, a Franco-British blend of showbiz and sports. At 26 years old, he proudly carries the legacy but also seeks not to be just “the son of”. A public personality, model since the age of 14, budding photographer and amateur chef, he is far from stuck in one role.
And since we’re talking family, he is part of a sibling group of four children, and his marriage to Nicola Peltz marks a turning point in his personal life. In 2025, the spotlight continues to shine on him, between family rumors and new professional challenges. At 1.83 m, he’s also a guy who doesn’t let his famous heritage crush him. Except when the press gets involved…
Beginnings under his parents’ watch
His story starts pretty cool: a little Londoner growing up between Madrid and LA, the cities where his father was shaking up the football world. First serious contact with the ball, trials with Arsenal youth, but professional footballer won’t be for him. That’s when Victoria and David advise him to taste “normal” life by working in a café from age 15. That cuts you off, right?
At the same time, he embraces fashion. At only 14, Brooklyn starts posing for international magazines like Vogue China or Interview. A real mini phenomenon, quickly spotted by brands like Honor, alongside Henry Cavill and Scarlett Johansson. That opens many doors for him, but his true passion is photography.
From photography to modeling and cooking: a versatile career
So here it is, when he released his photo book “What I See” in 2017, one can say criticism didn’t spare him. 3980 copies sold in 4 months, far from a hit, and well, on social media, he took hits for everything, yes, notably for a poorly received photo in 2018 which even earned him accusations of racism. Not easy to hold on when growing up under harsh critique! 😶
But Brooklyn holds on, not the type to give up. In 2021, he launched a culinary web series, where he plays the chef. Again, netizens miss nothing and often label him a “nepo baby,” insisting on his lack of experience. The episodes cost a lot (over 100,000 euros each!), with a big team behind the scenes, but despite everything, some big names in cooking support him. Not bad, right?
Can you imagine? Going from absolutely not footballer to chef under the spotlight is quite a trajectory. Brooklyn juggles, tests, not always immune to mistakes, but you got it, he wants to taste everything. To know his latest cravings and personal life, I recommend following his news on HuffPost.
Family life and relationships under the spotlight
Hard nut to crack amid an ultra-medialized family, Brooklyn has had his ups and downs with his brothers and sisters. Remember late 2025, when the press talked about tensions with his brother Cruz Beckham, who even reached out to him on Instagram. 💔 Obviously, celebrity press loves these sibling stories, but behind it, it’s more complicated than that. Discover for example Cruz’s touching attempt to mend fences on Gala.
On the romantic side, after his highly publicized relationship with Chloë Grace Moretz (2014-2018), he took the big leap with Nicola Peltz in 2020. A wedding in Florida, then settling in Beverly Hills, and even a name change for the couple: Peltz-Beckham. Pressure rises on the family side, especially from Victoria Beckham, not very comfortable with her eldest son’s move away. If family life intrigues you, you can also follow his rather rare confessions in media such as Europe 1.
What Brooklyn Beckham has in store in 2025: between surprises and challenges
Here he is launching into a new unlikely adventure: Formula E, the electric car racing series. Who would have thought? Brooklyn would be part of an initiative with 11 other celebrities to promote this sport that’s both eco-friendly and ultra-trendy. Another way to step off the beaten path, right? It’s proof that young Beckham doesn’t like to be boxed in.
A news story to follow closely, notably on Paris Match, where they also talk about possible future projects for this eternal curious soul who never stops surprising.
