Romeo Beckham, son of Manchester United icon David Beckham, has made the surprising decision to retire from football at just 22 years old.

After a brief career on the pitch, the former Brentford winger has chosen to pursue a new path in the fashion industry, following in the footsteps of his mother, renowned designer Victoria Beckham.

Romeo’s football journey began in Arsenal’s youth academy in 2015, before he moved to the Inter Miami academy in 2021, where he spent two years playing with the reserve team.

In the summer of 2023, he joined Brentford’s B team, showing promise as a winger.

However, his passion for fashion has been a consistent theme throughout his life.

Even at the age of 10, Romeo was involved in a Burberry Kids campaign, and by 2011, he had already gained recognition as one of Britain’s best-dressed men, ranking 26th on a prestigious list.

In 2021, Romeo signed a significant £1.2 million endorsement deal with Puma, becoming one of the brand’s ambassadors.

That same year, he graced the cover of L’Uomo Vogue and added modelling work with Yves Saint Laurent to his portfolio.

His flair for fashion continued to grow, and recently, Romeo signed a lucrative contract with a top Parisian fashion agent, Safe Management.

Despite enjoying his time at Brentford, Romeo has decided to fully immerse himself in the fashion world, a career that has long been a passion of his.
