Romeo Beckham Flies Economy on Jet2 Despite Family Wealth
Romeo Beckham Flies Economy on Jet2 Despite Family Wealth

Romeo Beckham was spotted flying economy on a Jet2 flight from Birmingham to France, choosing a budget airline over his family's private jet. The 22-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham kept a low profile in a black hoodie and jogging bottoms, waiting in line with other passengers at the airport.

Footage posted on TikTok shows Romeo wearing a beanie hat and headphones, absorbed in his phone while on board. While his attire was modest, his expensive luggage stood out, with one observer noting: 'Blending in with thousands and thousands of pounds worth of bags.' Others praised his down-to-earth choice, with one saying: 'Just shows he’s normal like the rest of us.'

The low-key travel comes amid an ongoing family rift. Romeo and his parents were reportedly excluded from brother Brooklyn's recent vow renewal ceremony with Nicola Peltz, held in Los Angeles and officiated by Nicola's billionaire father, Nelson Peltz. The event did not include any of Brooklyn’s UK-based family or friends, with many learning about it through media reports.

Brooklyn, 25, and Nicola, 29, renewed their vows three years after their lavish wedding, which reportedly sparked tensions between the families. Disagreements over Victoria Beckham's involvement in the wedding gown and music choices have been cited as early signs of a rift. Since then, Brooklyn has missed his father David’s 50th birthday and knighthood celebrations.

It has been noted that Romeo and his brother Cruz no longer follow Brooklyn on social media, further indicating the family estrangement. A source described the vow renewal snub as 'very upsetting' for the Beckham family.
