In a moving and deeply personal revelation, Capital FM breakfast show host Roman Kemp has opened up about the unexpected support he received from none other than football legend David Beckham.
The touching moment occurred after Kemp courageously shared the devastating news that he and his partner had suffered a miscarriage. Speaking on his podcast, Keep Up With The Kardashians, the 31-year-old broadcaster detailed how Beckham, a father of four, reached out personally following the heartbreaking disclosure.
'I got a message from David Beckham... and it was the most lovely message you could ever imagine,' Kemp shared emotionally with his listeners. The gesture from the global icon, known for his private family life, clearly left a profound impact on the radio presenter.
Kemp had originally shared his family's tragic news during an episode of The Magic Mum and Dad podcast back in May, speaking openly about the couple's loss and the emotional turmoil that followed. His honesty about the experience of baby loss, a topic often kept private, appears to have resonated deeply with many, including Beckham himself.
The former England captain's message wasn't just a simple condolence. Kemp described it as particularly meaningful because it came from someone who 'doesn't really do a lot of that sort of thing' – referring to Beckham's typically reserved approach to public commentary on personal matters.
This revelation comes as Kemp continues to be a vocal advocate for mental health awareness, having previously documented his own struggles in his BBC documentary Roman Kemp: Our Silent Emergency following the tragic loss of his friend and producer to suicide.
The radio host's openness about both mental health and the often-taboo subject of miscarriage is helping to break down stigmas and create important conversations around these critical issues affecting countless families across the UK.
