Summary:

Beckham traces the rise of a family that came to define modern celebrity. Lifting the lid on the realities behind the image, the book offers a complete, unbiased portrait of a family whose story continues to unfold – and whose influence spans generations.

When David Beckham and Victoria Adams first met in the late 1990s, they were already famous in their own right – young, ambitious and operating at the top of their fields. The Spice Girl and the football player – it was a modern love story. Together, they would become something unprecedented: a partnership that fused sport, style and popular culture, and a family whose influence would extend far beyond either of their original worlds.

Following their journey from that first meeting through marriage, parenthood and continual reinvention, this biography explores how shared values, discipline and loyalty shaped both their private lives and their public image. Set against decades of global attention, it charts the evolution of the Beckham household as their four children grew up in the spotlight, each finding their own path while carrying one of the most recognizable surnames in the world …

Bringing the story fully into the present day, Beckham looks at the family now, with Brooklyn Beckham stepping into adulthood, marriage and public life, and considers how legacy is passed on, reshaped and redefined.

Sales points:

  • The Brooklyn Beckham effect: the bombshell claims in Brooklyn’s Instagram stories have become front-page news. The nuclear statement dominated social and legacy media, shining a light on the family and brand Beckham – and our book is the perfect place to dive into the story.

  • The definitive story: tracing the story of brand Beckham from the moment David and Victoria met and taking the reader right up to the modern day and the fallout with their first-born son, Brooklyn. This is the definitive, unbiased look at a family who have been embraced by pop culture around the world, for better or worse.

  • A detailed look at the family: shining a light on the family – the characters, the relationships and the disagreements – as well as their rise to fame, this promises to be a dramatic and detailed look at the Beckhams.

  • Up to date photography: 2 x 8pp plate section showing all the family members in recent years.

  • Written by bestselling author: Alexander Larman is available for PR.
