Who is Gray Sorrenti, girlfriend of David Beckham’s son Romeo?

According to the Daily MailGray and Romeo, 22, were seen strolling and sharing a kiss in New York City earlier this week. Romeo, dressed casually in baggy jeans, a white vest, and a flat baseball cap, looked smitten with Gray, who wore a cropped top, jeans, and stylish shoes.

The Sun reported that Gray was raised in an artistic environment, with her father, renowned photographer Mario Sorrenti, celebrated for his iconic work with Vogue, Harper’s Bazaarand Calvin Klein ads featuring supermodel Kate Moss. Her mother Mary Frey is also a respected artist.

Despite her father’s influence, Gray once told Vogue that her love for photography came naturally, spending countless hours in his darkroom during her high school years.

“I didn’t become a photographer because my dad’s a photographer,” she explained in an interview with The Business of Fashion.

Gray’s talent emerged early, as she shot her first fashion campaign at 16, leading to high-profile assignments such as photographing stars like Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Aniston for WSJ. Magazine and Rihanna for Harper’s Bazaar. Her portfolio also includes fashion campaigns for Hailey Bieber and Bella Hadid for Saint Laurent.

In 2022, she photographed Romeo for a Saint Laurent campaign, as reported by British Vogue.

Gray’s connections in the fashion world run deep, with friendships with figures like Kendall and Kylie Jenner. Her work is admired for its unique combination of intimacy and boldness.

Behind her glamorous career, Gray has described herself as a “wild child.” Growing up in New York City, she had a passion for riding street-illegal dirt bikes with friends, including a cafeteria worker from her Upper West Side private school. This rebellious streak has added to her allure, resonating with the fashion industry’s appreciation for authenticity.

The spirit has also inspired her creative pursuits, including a feature-length documentary on New York City’s urban dirt bike culture, which is currently in production, according to her profile on Art Partner.

Gray occasionally steps in front of the camera as well, appearing in promotional campaigns for La Mer and Saint Laurent. Her Instagram profile, which boases over 124,000 followers, features a variety of captivating posts, including occasional nude shots that reflect her artistic expression.

She describes herself as a hopeless romantic, driven by her passion for capturing the world around her.

“I’m a lover, I was raised in love,” she told Elle Magazine. “It’s what drives me, so I’m into documenting my friends and the madness in the world at this present time.”
