Why Brooklyn Beckham will also keep the woman surname

Newlywed Brooklyn Beckham will also bear the woman's last name. In an Instagram post - where he and his wife Nicola Peltz appear - Brooklyn writes: "Mr. and Mrs. Peltz Beckham."

Now he will be called Brooklyn Joseph Peltz Beckham. Why this choice?

Cultural norms have made it the case that the vast majority of men do not change their surname after marriage. Almost every man in heterosexual intercourse does not change the surname. But the most common reasons why a man decides to take a wife's surname are: 1) He does not like his surname; 2) Not related to his family name; 3) Will break gender norms; 4) It will convey a sense of unity, commitment.

In the case of Brooklyn, the reason why she decided to keep Nicola's last name is related to a big sign of devotion to her and the love she has for her, a source told The Sun.

Brooklyn, 23, and Nicola, 27, were married April 9 in Palm Beach, Florida. They confirmed the relationship in January 2020, while in July of the same year they announced that they were engaged.
