It’s no “coincidence” that the boys have chosen these women
THEY say a boy’s first love is his mum and Victoria Beckham’s influence certainly runs deep when it comes to her sons’ pick of partners.
That’s because the women who catch the eye of Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 19, all seem to share some striking similarities to Victoria.

From their shared passion for fashion and showbiz connections to their elegance and even their looks, it’s clear the Beckham boys gravitate towards women who are in fact ‘dupes’ of Victoria and ones who mirror her qualities.
Psychologist Emma Kenny says their choice in partners speaks volumes about the bond they have with their mum:
“This pattern suggests that Victoria has not only set a high standard but has also provided a blueprint for what a strong, supportive, and independent partner looks like,” she explains. “Her sons feel safe and understood around women who echo their mum’s qualities.
“It highlights a deep respect and genuine affection for the values and attributes she’s instilled in them.”
And Cruz Beckham seems to be floating on cloud nine with his new girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, who is ten years older than him and even has a look of Victoria.
Brooklyn’s wife Nicola Peltz, 29, appears to be following in 50-year-old Victoria’s footsteps with similar fashion choices and a shared love for letting loose on the dance floor.
Even Romeo’s new hot date, Gray Sorrenti, 23, daughter of Mario Sorrenti, one of the most iconic photographers of all time who once shot Victoria in a shoot for sports brand Reebok, mirrors his mum with her love of fashion and photography.
Emma believes it’s natural for men who admire their mums to gravitate towards women who have the same, or very similar, traits.
She adds: “By connecting with women who are like their mother, they are likely to feel reassured that their relationships will be based on the foundations they enjoyed growing up.
“Essentially, the Beckham’s sons’ choices speak to the comfort, guidance, and unwavering support Victoria has given them, which they now seek to replicate in their own relationships.”
Victoria has always been a powerhouse who has somehow managed the roles of celebrity, entrepreneur, and mother with a seemingly effortless poise.
She embodies not only glamour, but resilience and dedication to her family.
Emma explains: “Victoria’s influence extends far beyond her professional achievements.
A keen eye for success can all be drawn as parallels between Nicola and Victoria
Emma Kenny, TV psychologist
“It’s the way she at least seems to stay grounded, despite her fame and the way she’s fiercely protective and loving towards her children.
“When boys grow up watching such an inspirational woman leading their home, they will have a tendency to seek those same qualities in their own partners.
“Take Brooklyn, for example. His relationship with Nicola feels like a reflection of what he’s seen in his mother.”
Nicola is an American actress and model, best known for her roles in films like “Transformers: Age of Extinction” and the TV series “Bates Motel” and she married Brooklyn in a lavish ceremony back in April 2022.
Life is a runway
Both Nicola and Victoria have a keen eye for fashion.
Victoria is a renowned fashion designer with her own successful brand, while Nicola is often seen sporting high-end designer outfits and gracing the pages of fashion magazines.
The pair are also no strangers to the limelight, often invited to high-profile events.
Much like Victoria, Nicola exudes a sense of chic elegance and neither of them are caught letting their polished yet trendy looks slip.
Victoria has spoken openly about the struggles she and David have endured over the years

And although Victoria has 33 million followers on Instagram, whilst Nicola has 3 million, the pair often share the importance of family time together with their videos and snaps to showcase their strong bond.
Emma says: “Nicola, like Victoria, is not just stunning but is also confident and accomplished in her own right, pursuing her ambitions as an actress and now taking strides in directing.
“The qualities of elegance, assertiveness, and a keen eye for success can all be drawn as parallels between Nicola and Victoria.”
Before his most recent fling with American photographer and model Gray, Romeo was dating Mia Regan up until recently who also has similarities to Victoria.

Mia has a distinct fashion flair and a thriving social media presence, an element Victoria herself has mastered with ease.
Emma says: “The admiration for a woman who is comfortable in the limelight yet shows a real, down-to-earth nature is not just coincidence.
“Victoria’s balance between the two worlds, the public and private, has clearly left an impression on Romeo, inspiring him to seek that balance in his own life partner.”
Gray and Victoria both have connections to the fashion world.
This again will mean that are considered attractive as life partners
Emma Kenny, TV psychologist
And while Gray is behind the camera, capturing striking images for high-profile brands and magazines, Victoria is a fashion designer with her own successful label.
VB designs are known for their modern, sleek, and elegant aesthetic, whilst Gray’s photography also embodies a contemporary style, often capturing moments that are both raw and sophisticated.
Emma says: “Where Gray is concerned, she is again a reflection of Victoria to some degree as she is a talented photographer which shows her creativity, ambition, and natural talent and independent nature.”
And the same goes for Cruz’s new love interest with Jackie, 29.

Is it normal to end up with a partner who is similar to your parents?
By Emma Kenny, TV psychologist
Psychologically, it’s not unusual for men to choose partners who reflect their mothers.
It’s about familiarity and comfort, qualities that have been nurtured within the family home.
Here with Victoria, as a public figure and a mother, has shown her boys that you can embrace ambition and elegance without losing your sense of warmth or love for family.
For her sons, this has set the benchmark of what a supportive and accomplished partner looks like.
Victoria Beckham exudes charisma and confidence, both on and off the runway and Jackie shares these traits, making her a captivating presence in social and public settings.
And they both certainly have a taste in clothes as the pair have been spotted wearing similar outfits.
Emma says: “Cruz’s new girlfriend Jackie Apostel even looks like a younger version of Victoria and is apparently making waves independently in the fashion world, so like Victoria she combines elegance, ambition, and drive.
“All of the girls who the Beckham boys are dating seem to have very strong family values reflected in their own ‘lived’ experience.
“This again will mean that are considered attractive as life partners.
“Even though Victoria has spoken openly about the struggles she and David have endured over the years, they have for the most part had an incredible marriage.”
