In the spotlight since birth, it’s easy to forget that Brooklyn Peltz Beckham has been quietly forging his own path – one that extends beyond simply being David and Victoria Beckham’s eldest. Born in London and raised under the glare of relentless paparazzi, Brooklyn has slowly but surely carved out an identity all his own, guided not just by his famous surname, but his own creative ambitions.
While many might assume the cameras that tracked his every childhood moment would push him away from the lens, Brooklyn chose to embrace photography on his own terms. His work, often raw and intentionally unpolished, stands in marked contrast to the airbrushed, glamorous world he grew up in. His debut photo book, “What I See,” landed to polarizing reviews. Still, Brooklyn pressed on – landing gigs shooting for fashion magazines and brands that chose him less for his lineage than his gritty, unmistakably personal perspective.
Meanwhile, his experiences as a model have played out both in front of and behind the camera. From walking runways at fashion week to starring in Burberry campaigns, Brooklyn hasn’t shied away from the industry’s spotlight, even if it isn’t always comfortable. As he admitted to British Vogue, “I get really nervous,” he said, “which is weird considering I grew up with it.” There’s an endearing honesty to that confession; beneath the celebrity trappings, he’s still figuring things out.
Finding Love in the Limelight
Brooklyn’s love life has been just as closely watched as his career, and like anyone else growing up in public, it’s been complicated. Back in his teens, he deliberately kept things private, shying away from the tabloids during his on-off years with actress Chloë Grace Moretz. The mystery of their relationship status became almost a storyline in its own right, fans left speculating from Instagram posts and grainy paparazzi shots.
But as he grew older, Brooklyn seemed to embrace the public side of romance. His relationship with model Hana Cross played out in front of cameras at festivals like Coachella and on the red carpet, before the pair ultimately parted ways amid rumored turbulence.
Brief flings came and went, but something shifted when Brooklyn met actress Nicola Peltz. Their connection was unmistakable – stories of low-key dates soon gave way to loved-up Instagram posts, and after just eight months, Brooklyn proposed. Their 2022 wedding in Palm Beach brought both families together for a lavish celebration, merging traditions and creating new ones.
What stands out is how authentically Brooklyn speaks about their bond. In a candid chat with GQ, he admitted, “With Nicola, it just clicked. I’m still learning what makes a good partnership, but with her, I don’t have to pretend to be someone I’m not.” In a quiet act of togetherness, the two combined their last names, becoming the Peltz Beckhams – subtly signaling to the world that they’re building something of their own.
Beyond the Famous Name
Now 24, Brooklyn finds himself still on a journey of self-discovery. The latest twist? Cooking. His social media is filled with earnest – if sometimes divisive – cooking videos. They’re occasionally chaotic, often charming, and always authentic. The internet had its fun mocking his “creation” of a simple breakfast sandwich, but he seemed to take it in stride, undeterred by skeptics.
There’s a vulnerability to how he talks about his path: “People expect me to have it all figured out because of my parents,” he admitted to The Times. “Truth is, I’m still working out who I want to be.” That openness is rare, and perhaps why so many quietly root for him.
His partnership with Nicola seems to be a constant. They’re often each other’s biggest fans – Brooklyn shooting portraits of Nicola for magazines, Nicola cheering on his latest culinary project. In an environment that can breed pretense, their dynamic feels refreshingly unfiltered.

Sure, privilege has paved many roads for Brooklyn Peltz Beckham – but it hasn’t shielded him from criticism, disappointment, or the awkward process of figuring out life in your twenties. What’s ultimately so relatable about Brooklyn is that, for all the family fame and fortune, he’s just a young man searching for purpose, connection, and his place in the world – simply doing it all with the world watching. And in that sense, there’s something unexpectedly human about his journey.
