Brooklyn Beckham is engaged

[Bouledeneige]

They've been dating 7 months and he's had a series of girlfriends.
Would you be happy if your 21 year old said they were engaged? Irrespective of who he is if he was my kid I would feel that he was too young and they'd not been together long enough. But what would I know?

Victoria might be a grandma before she's 50.

I was married by 21 having got engaged at 7 months two years before. So no O wouldn’t be in a position to judge.

I'd judge. Statistically it won't last. When's the wedding date then?

I got engaged to DH 6 weeks after we met when we were at university. I was 21, he was 20. We got married 5 years later and are still together 24 years after that.

One of my brothers was married with 2 kids by the time he was 21, they've been married 44 years soon. Another was married at 19 and been married 46 years, it's not always a disaster. Having said that I think most DC are a younger than we were at the same age.

Otherwise, not really into celebrities and he does seem particularly vacuous so I'm not really that fussed tbh.

I was engaged at 20 and married at 21 and still happily together 15 years after we first got together. Seem like a cute couple hope it works out for them!

Who really cares? If they get divorced, they get divorced. What impact does it have on anyone except them? Half of the people who get married in this country get divorced.

I wish them well they have enough money to get a quick divorce should they need it (I hope they wouldn’t need it).

My mum got married at 20 and she and my dad are still together 35 years later.

My brother is 24 but his fiancée is about to turn 22 and they have their wedding booked for next year.

DH and I got engaged at 24 and married at 25. We’ve been together for 8 years (both 30 now).

Apparently we move quickly in my family

I was engaged at 21 and have 28 years of marriage under my belt so no, it wouldn’t bother me.

Crikey, he's the same age as DS1. I have to say, I think it's a bit young.

I hadn't even met DH at 21, but I'd had a couple of relationships that lasted longer than 7 months (and would have a couple more before I met DH). That said I do have friends who have been married since they were 18 (we are now 50), but they had far fewer opportunities in life than I did though. I'm surprised someone with the world at their feet like BB has decided to get engaged so young but I suppose all their money make it less of a disaster. If any of my kids got engaged so young I'd tell them they were too young and they should not rush into marriage and certainly not have DC until they are older.

I really can't see the big deal - he's a 21 year old man.

Her father is worth $1.7 billion. Of course the Beckhams are happy. This is all their Christmases come at once!!!

I got engaged at 21, I had been with my partner nearly 3 years by that point and long since left home so was definitely an independent adult.

As it turns out I'm not married yet but nearly 20 years later I am still with the same partner. Still plan to marry one day I suppose as legally speaking it makes sense but that's a different thread.

To be honest I don't think it's anyone else's business as long as the prospective partner isn't abusive.

I don't care what he does but I do care that I now feel old just from reading the title!

I don't think it is my business. It surely isn't unusual for people to be engaged at 21. It doesn't always last of course. Well, good for him, he is making a commitment. We'll see how it all pans out but, for now, I expect he and fiancee, and their families, are quite happy.

What’s his job?

I got engaged at 21 after a few months. Got married at 23 and we are still married almost 21 years later. It can work.

I got engaged at 21, married at 27.

Big mistake...huge, notwithstanding DD.

If she attempts to follow in my footsteps I will lock her in the house until she sees sense.

I would be sad as hell if either of my children settled down at the age of 21. It's ridiculous.

I'd have happily married the person who I was with when I was 21, but thank goodness I didn't! He was all wrong for me but I was going, and in love.... etc etc.

I wouldn't be happy if my children got married at 21, really. It is so young. However getting engaged isn't getting married, and anyway it's their life. I'd be supportive regardless but would quietly wish they'd wait a bit!

Wow he's 21 already?!

I remember seeing him mum Posh Spice on the cover of SKY magazine when she was pregnant with him...makes me feel so old!

Personally, I would not have wanted to get engaged at the age of 21, esp not with someone I'd been dating for 7 months. At 21 I was breaking up with a long term boyfriend after doing finals at university...it was definitely not the time to be settling down for marriage! (at least for me anyway)

Good luck to them, will be interesting to see if a wedding happens in the future.

As per PP, I would not feel this was the best result for my DS. Also she's 4 years older - that's a big gap at his age.

He needs to lock her down before she realises. She’s got her own career, comes from a very wealthy family and is beautiful. He’s punching.
I’m wondering what Her family think.
