Brooklyn Beckham

Brooklyn Joseph Peltz Beckham (born 4 March 1999) is an English socialite and former model. He is the eldest son of former footballer David Beckham and singer Victoria Beckham. Early life Beckham was born at the Portland Hospital in London, the son of David Beckham and Victoria Beckham. It is reported that he was named Brooklyn because Victoria had found out about her pregnancy within Brooklyn, New York City. However, according to his mother's 2001 autobiography, Learning to Fly, she and her husband simply liked the name. His mother recalled it was only after choosing the name they "realised how appropriate it was because it was in New York that she found out she was pregnant and where David came after the World Cup." Beckham spent his childhood in Madrid and Los Angeles, while his father played for Real Madrid and LA Galaxy. He has three younger siblings: brothers Romeo James, Cruz David, and a sister Harper Seven. In December 2004, Brooklyn and Romeo were jointly baptised in a private chapel on the grounds of their parents' Hertfordshire mansion. His godparents are Elton John, David Furnish and Elizabeth Hurley. At the age of 15, Beckham worked weekend shifts at a coffee shop in West London. Beckham played in the Arsenal F.C. Academy, but left in 2015 after not receiving a scholarship.
