Why all the Beckham boys fall in love with ‘VB dupes’ & what it REALLY says about their relationship with Spice Girl mum
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.
Psychologist Emma Kenny believes it’s natural for men who admire their mums to gravitate towards women who have the same, or very similar, traits.
