We're all well aware of the litany of career ventures Brooklyn Beckham has attempted over the years.

The jack-of-all-trades has tried his hand at a decidedly niche selection, from a mercilessly-mocked foray into photography, to a sharp pivot into the culinary arts.

But what lesser-known paths have the remainder of the Beckham brood been pursuing throughout the course of their lives in the spotlight?

Romeo Beckham

In a textbook case of like-father, like-son, Romeo Beckham, 23, began his early career following in his football-icon father's footsteps.

Making a grand debut in youth football, Romeo soon went on to secure a highly sought-after spot at the Arsenal Academy in Hale End, London.

He joined the elite football club in 2014 on a developmental contract, where he remained for one year before being released at age 13.

Following his departure from the academy, the second-eldest Beckham pivoted to tennis, attempting to kickstart a career in the sport for five years before making a return to football in 2020.

Romeo then embarked on a journeyman career, signing his very first professional football contract in 2021 with Fort Lauderdale CF in Florida, the official reserve side and development team for his father's Inter Miami club.

He made his debut for the side as right-winger, continuing on through to 2022 before flying home to join Brentford B that same year – reportedly due to struggles with distance from then-girlfriend Mia Regan.

Throughout his pursuit of a career in football, Romeo showed flashes of talent – namely a crossing and set-piece delivery reminiscent of his father – but ultimately, he never quite reached elite levels.

But flash forward to today, and Romeo Beckham has proved himself more akin to his mother, Victoria.

The now-model has made a sharp departure from his father's discipline, now leaning more into his fashion roots – which he is said to be "passionate" about.

He officially retired from football in 2024 to pursue modelling full-time, signing with IMG Models and Paris-based agency Safe Management.

The rising fashion star has since worked with big-name brands such as Burberry, Balenciaga, Versace, and Saint Laurent.

It seems that the star was always destined to foray into fashion, with childhood photoshoots for Burberry and an 11th place ranking in GQ's 'Best Dressed' list at just eight years of age under his belt.

Cruz Beckham

The Beckhams' youngest son, now 20, has well and truly carved his own path within the entertainment industry in recent years – and arguably, the now-singer was primed for stardom from a (very) early age.

At just two years old, Cruz captivated thousands at Madison Square Garden in New York with his breakdance performance during a Spice Girls reunion concert, demonstrating inklings of the showman he'd become in later years.

Undoubtedly making the most of his mum's industry connections, Cruz kicked off his music career in 2016 at the mere age of 11, releasing festive single If Every Day was Christmas to raise money for children's charity Global's Make Some Noise.

With early football roots like his father and older brother, Cruz later pivoted his focus to music. Getty

Following in his father and older brother's footsteps, Cruz also had an early stint in football through Arsenal Academy – though never attempted to pursue it professionally as Romeo did.

While he's made sporadic appearances in various football tournaments over the years –namely in the TST, a tournament showcasing former pro footballers and celebrities – he announced his intent to pursue music seriously in 2022.

That same year, he made his cover model debut for i-D Magazine – noting that while he enjoys modelling, it remains secondary to developing his music career.

He gradually set about soft-launching a more indie, alt-rock sound over the past couple of years, aligning himself with big names within the industry such as songwriter to the stars Poo Bear, and the management team that brought us The Strokes.

And it seems the budding musician has made notable efforts to distance himself from "Nepo Baby" allegations, forming band The Breakers in 2025, and going on to perform a number of "secret" gigs with the ensemble across the UK.

In the wake of the 'Bexit' saga involving eldest brother Brooklyn, Cruz, Victoria and David have continued to plug the young'un's burgeoning music career.

His next venture will see him taking to the Courtyard Theatre in London for a now-sold-out show on March 27.

Harper Beckham

The baby of the Beckham brood, it's recently emerged that Harper Beckham, at her tender age, has reached a net worth milestone, accumulated $1 million to her name through strategic business planning of late.

While the 14-year-old is obviously still in school at Glendower Preparatory, she has slowly begun to make serious moves towards a career in fashion and beauty.

The only daughter of Becks and Posh, the pair have largely kept Harper out of the spotlight during her formative years in the interest of safety.

However, there were inklings that she'd shown an early interest in the performing arts, having reportedly attended the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts for after-school programs.

Major reports have recently surfaced that Harper is preparing to launch her own lifestyle brand, with two trademark applications filed for the name "HIKU BY HARPER".
