Romeo Beckham has been branded “kind and humble” by his famous parents. Lady Victoria and Sir David Beckham took to social media to gush over their young son on his big day. Romeo, 23, is no stranger to using social media and often posts about his famous family – but Brooklyn has been very silent.
Earlier today, David, 50, was the first to post about his son, who has carved out a name for himself in the footballing industry, having played for Fort Lauderdale CF as well as Brentford B in recent years. Sharing a childhood snap of Romeo kicking back in a swimming pool, David wrote: “Happy 23rd Birthday to my little boy.
“You are kind, humble, polite, hard working and the most special person to everyone we love you so much x have the most special day HAPPY BIRTHDAY big boy,” alongside two pink heart emojis.

Meanwhile, former Spice Girls star Victoria, 51, shared a more recent snap of Romeo relaxing on a luxury yacht while on a family holiday after topping up his tan as the family watched the sun set. She penned: “Happy birthday @romeobeckham! You are our everything. We love you so much. Your love and kindness fills our hearts every day!”
Romeo’s little brother, Cruz, also joined in on the action, sharing a throwback snap of Romeo, writing: “Love u man. Happy birthday @romeobeckham.” Romeo’s maternal cousin, Fin Isted, also shared a snap of the two cousins, with Victoria’s mum, Jackie, alongside the caption: “Happy birthday @romeobeckham. Enjoy brothaa.”

One person, who has been noticeably silent, is Romeo’s older brother, Brooklyn, who instead took to his own social media to share a snap of two drinks, rather than publicly sending his brother a message.
This comes as no surprise, as in recent months, tensions have reached a boiling point for the Beckham family. Brooklyn famously snubbed his dad’s 50th birthday celebrations in the UK, despite having already been in London with his wife, Nicola Peltz-Beckham.
He also failed to publicly acknowledge David being knighted earlier this year. None of Brooklyn’s family were invited to his recent vow renewal with Nicola, which was held on her father’s sprawling estate.
Last week, the wannabe chef made a brutal dig at his family and revealed the only reason he would return to London again – and it wasn’t for his family. In a cooking video to promote his hot sauce brand Cloud23 with world-famous chef Michel Roux Jr, Brooklyn revealed he’d flown into London from Los Angeles to film the video.

At one point in the clip, which was filmed at the Wigmore Restaurant at the Langham Hotel, he took a little swipe at his family as he said the meal they were cooking was the only thing he’d return to England for.
At the start of the video, Michel said: “We are always looking for new dishes here at the Wigmore, but based on great classics. So gammon, egg and chips is a great British classic.” Brooklyn then reminisced about being younger and said: “I used to have this every Tuesday night. I love gammon. You can’t go wrong with gammon, egg and chips.”
Michel used Brooklyn’s hot sauce to get colour on the meat, ‘just to mark it’ before glazing it in the oven and serving the dish with a fried egg and shoestring fries.
Once the dish was completed, Michel said it would be a ‘hot seller’ and said it would be ‘flying out the kitchen’. Brooklyn then said: “I’m definitely going to just come to London to have that.” It came after Brooklyn spoke movingly about his wife in front of the 200 guests at the vow renewal ceremony on August 2.
A source close to the couple said: “He spoke from the heart – and at the centre of his heart is Nicola, whom he loves very dearly, but also the Peltz family, who have really stuck by his side. He wanted to recognise them all, and was determined to do them all justice.”
News of the “heartfelt tribute” to Nicola’s billionaire parents, Nelson and Claudia, will add to the agony of the Beckham family, who have been cut out of his life. It’s understood there was no similar tribute to his own parents.
