Gray Sorrenti – 24 years old, Romeo Beckham’s girlfriend – is a photographer for many stars such as Rihanna and Rosé (Blackpink).
The Daily Mail reported on October 15 that Beckham’s second son, Romeo, 22, is dating photographer Gray Sorrenti, through a series of photos of the two hugging and kissing on the streets of New York. After breaking up with model Mia Regan in February, Romeo has been involved in many love rumors but has not confirmed them. Gray is the first person he has publicly announced his relationship with.

Romeo’s new girlfriend is the daughter of veteran Italian-American photographer Mario Sorrenti, 53, who is best known for his photoshoot of supermodel Kate Moss in the Calvin Klein Obsession perfume campaign in the 1990s and his nude modelling. Mario has also photographed David Beckham and his wife Victoria Beckham’s fashion line.

Rumors that the two were in love arose after they attended the YSL show together in late September. It is unclear when the couple started dating. Romeo once mentioned Gray on Instagram with a heart symbol in a behind-the-scenes photoshoot post in June. At that time, their relationship did not attract attention.
Romeo has now decided to pursue a modeling career after announcing his retirement from football. In early September, he signed with model management company SAFE Mgmt.
