Romeo Beckham ‘has ditched his US football career and returned to the UK’

Romeo Beckham has reportedly ditched his football career in the US after he and girlfriend Mia Regan struggled with a long-distance relationship.

The son of David and Victoria Beckham, 20, decided to permanently join the west London side Brentford B over his father’s club Inter Miami CF II – as he rekindled his relation with his beloved girlfriend Mia, also 20.

The football star has been on loan of the English team since January, and has now decided to prioritise being close to Mia, as the long-distance was too ‘difficult’ for the couple.

‘Despite their best efforts, it really took its toll and they split up for a while. But when he returned to the UK on loan to Brentford they rekindled things, and things are going really well,’ a source told The Mirror.

They added Romeo was later offered to permanently stay at Brentford, which he was ‘thrilled’ about.

‘There are just a couple of financial aspects to be ironed out, but the deal is almost done,’ the source said.

MailOnline has contacted Romeo’s representatives for a comment. 

It comes after Romeo took to his Instagram earlier on Thursday to share a shirtless photo at a tattoo studio.

Captioning the photo, he tagged the artist and wrote: ‘@_dr_woo_ time :)’.

Romeo already boasts a load of tattoos, including a ‘free spirit’ and a large dove on his wrist along with the words: ‘Lead with love.’

There is also a stone angel statue, which covers the length of his forearm alongside a ‘freedom to dream’ torso inking.

He also has the word ‘love’ on his fingers, with a letter on each finger and a replica David’s famous winged cross on his neck.

Brian Woo, aka Dr. Woo, the artist behind Romeo’s masterpieces, certainly has a jam-packed list of high-profile clients including Cara Delevingne and Miley Cyrus.

Romeo’s ex footballer dad David, 48, boasts roughly 80 pieces of body art while his brother Brooklyn, 24, has slowly been adding to his collection in recent years also. 

Brooklyn has a whopping 100 tattoos – 70 of which are dedicated to his wife Nicola Peltz. 

Romeo’s girlfriend Mia Regan commented on the snap, writing: ‘PENG’.

The model also took to her own Instagram to share a duo of photos from a trip to the beach.

One of the cheeky shots showed her facing away from the camera, wearing a brown jacket and a pair of bikini bottoms, leaving her bum on full display.

The other shot showed Romeo with a male friend standing on a rock at the edge of the sea, looking down into the water.

Captioning the pictures, Mia wrote: ‘Rocks and bums xx’.
