Romeo Beckham came out in support of England footballer Jess Carter as she announced a step back from her social media.
The 22-year-old former footballer-turned-model reposted a statement made by the defender on his Instagram story, in which she condemned the racial abuse she had experienced during the 2025 UEFA European Women's Championship.
"From the start of the tournament I have experienced a lot of racial abuse," Jess's statement read. "Whilst I feel every fan is entitled to their opinion on performance and result I don't agree or think it's ok to target someone's appearance or race.
"As a result of this I will be taking a step back from social media and leaving it to a team to deal with. As ever I am grateful for all of the support from the genuine fans but I am taking this measure to protect myself in a bid to keep my focus on helping the team anyway I can."
Jess has started all four of England's matches in Switzerland so far.

The team commented on Jess's post, saying: "We're all with you, Jess," alongside a red heart emoji.
Meanwhile, the official Instagram account of UEFA commented: "We stand with Jess. Abuse and discrimination should never be tolerated, whether in football or society, in person or online."

The Lionesses will take on Italy tonight at the Stade de Genève in Switzerland.
If they make it to the final, they will have the opportunity to repeat the success of their last campaign, when Ella Toone and Chloe Kelly took the team to a 2-1 victory over Germany.
