All eyes were on Brooklyn Beckham this weekend as he made a stylish appearance at the prestigious Ryder Cup in Rome, but it was his striking new look that truly set tongues wagging. The 24-year-old debuted a light brown beard that created an uncanny resemblance to his famous father, David Beckham, amidst ongoing reports of a strained relationship within the footballing dynasty.
A Beckham Doppelgänger Emerges
Sporting a smart navy blazer, crisp white shirt, and khaki trousers, Brooklyn looked every inch the style icon his father became. The newly grown facial hair, however, was the real showstopper, transforming his appearance to mirror David's signature rugged look. The similarity was so pronounced that spectators could hardly believe their eyes.
Star-Studded Company at Glitzy Event
Brooklyn wasn't alone at the high-profile golf tournament. He was accompanied by his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, 29, and professional dancer Peta Murgatroyd. The trio seemed in high spirits, laughing and chatting as they enjoyed the sporting spectacle. Nicola looked effortlessly chic in a black top and matching trousers, accessorised with a brown belt and large sunglasses.
The timing of Brooklyn's paternal look-alike moment is particularly poignant, coming during a period where sources claim communication between Brooklyn and his parents has become "very strained." This appearance marks one of his first major public outings since rumours of the family tension began circulating.
Behind the Scenes of a Family Dynamic
Insiders suggest the relationship became complicated after Brooklyn's lavish £3 million wedding in Palm Beach last year. Reports indicate David and Victoria felt sidelined during the wedding planning process, with Nicola's billionaire father, Nelson Peltz, taking a leading role. One source revealed the family now communicates largely through security teams rather than directly.
Despite the reported difficulties, the Beckhams have maintained a united front publicly. Just last week, the entire family—including Brooklyn—came together to celebrate Victoria's 49th birthday, though observers noted the interactions seemed somewhat formal and strained.
A Visual Testament to Family Ties
As Brooklyn continues to carve his own path in the culinary world and photography, his physical transformation into a younger version of his father serves as a powerful visual reminder of the bonds that persist, even through challenging times. The Beckham legacy, it seems, is written not just in their achievements but in their very features.
