Those Beckam boys sure like Hollywood starlets. First Brooklyn Beckham, 20, romanced actress Chloe Grace Moretz, 22, and now his younger brother Romeo, 16, is rumored to be dating Stranger Things star Millie Bobbie Brown, 15.

Not only that, his famous parents David, 43, and Victoria Beckham, 44, are on board with the romance. “‘It’s early days but they make a very sweet couple. Posh has given it the seal of approval as she is a big fan of Millie’s,” a family source tells UK’s The Sun on March 18. We’ve got five things to know about Romeo.
1. While Romeo now resides in London, much of his childhood was spent living abroad.
