David Beckham’s Children: Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz & Harper — Ages, Careers, and Where Things Stand in 2026

David Beckham has four children: Brooklyn, 27, Romeo, 23, Cruz, 21, and Harper, 15. Three of them just had breakout career years. The fourth wasn’t at his little sister’s birthday dinner.

That gap has become the real story. Here’s who each Beckham child is, what they’re doing now, and how the family rift got to this point.

For more on how their parents built this famously public family, see our David and Victoria Beckham relationship timeline, or browse our full Beckham family coverage.

Quick Answer: Meet the Four Beckham Kids

Brooklyn was born at London’s Portland Hospital; Elton John is his godfather. Romeo arrived in Westminster in 2002. Cruz was born in Madrid while David played for Real Madrid. Harper’s middle name, Seven, nods to David’s old shirt number.

Much of the family’s wealth and public profile traces back to David’s own post-football career, including his ownership stake in Inter Miami CF — a business empire that now sits alongside the kids’ own ventures.

Brooklyn Beckham, 27 — Married In, Estranged Out

Brooklyn’s career has moved from soccer academy dropout to photography, modeling, and now food content under his Cloud23 brand. He married actress Nicola Peltz on April 9, 2022, at the Peltz family’s Palm Beach estate, taking her surname to become Brooklyn Peltz Beckham.

That marriage sits at the center of the estrangement covered below. He’s been absent from nearly every major family event of 2026.

Romeo Beckham, 23 — Fashion Week, Film Debut, and His Own Clothing Line

Romeo walked away from a senior contract at Brentford in 2024 to model full-time, signing with Paris agency SAFE Mgmt. His runway résumé now includes Burberry, Versace, Balenciaga, and Saint Laurent.

2026 has been his biggest year yet. He walked in the Willy Chavarria show at Paris Fashion Week, landed his acting debut in the feature film Forty Love alongside Guillaume Canet, and launched his own retro football-jacket clothing line through a London fan event. He’s dating stylist Kim Turnbull.

Cruz Beckham, 21 — Building a Music Career

Cruz released his debut single at age 11 and plays guitar, mandolin, and piano. He announced a music tour in early 2026, performing with his band, Cruz Beckham and the Breakers. He got a “Posh” tattoo in 2023 as a tribute to Victoria’s Spice Girls days, and he’s dating Jackie Apostel.

His 21st birthday, celebrated with a Beatles-themed party in Mayfair, followed the same pattern as nearly every other family gathering this year: no Brooklyn.

Harper Beckham, 15 — A Beauty Brand in the Works

Harper turned 15 on July 10, 2026, and she’s already building a business. HIKU by Harper is a K-beauty-inspired skincare line filed under H7B Limited, a company Victoria set up. Victoria has said the idea grew out of Harper’s own struggle with acne and a PowerPoint pitch Harper made at home.

Speculation notice: HIKU by Harper has not officially launched. UK trademark filings went through, but the brand hit an initial US trademark refusal in May 2026 over conflicts with existing “Harper” and “Haiku” marks. A late-summer 2026 launch is still the expectation, not a confirmed date — this article will update when that changes.

The Brooklyn Estrangement, Explained: A Timeline

Fact-check note: An earlier research pass on this story suggested David’s New Year’s post included a solo photo with Brooklyn. Multiple contemporaneous reports (AOL, TMZ) confirm the opposite — Brooklyn was left out of that post entirely. We’ve corrected the timeline accordingly.

The reported cause traces back to Brooklyn and Nicola’s 2022 wedding. Brooklyn has alleged, via Instagram, that a dress order was canceled “in the eleventh hour” and that Victoria “hijacked” moments at the reception — allegations, not confirmed facts.

Disputed claim: Reports on Harper’s letter to Brooklyn’s home split into two camps. Page Six-sourced coverage frames it as a genuine reconciliation attempt. Brooklyn’s side has reportedly called the moment staged, citing photographers present. Neither version is independently confirmed — treat both as competing claims.
