Romeo Beckham and Kim Turnbull ‘split’ after she’s drawn into family feud
Romeo Beckham has split from his girlfriend Kim Turnbull weeks after she joined him for David Beckham’s 50th celebrations, it is reported.
It is thought the pair have split after seven months together, amid reports of a family feud between the Beckham family and eldest son Brooklyn Beckham, 26.
Friends said things ‘fizzled out’ between Romeo, 22, and Kim, 26, in what’s been an ‘amicable’ split that has ‘nothing to do’ with Brooklyn’s wife Nicola Peltz blaming her for the Beckham rift.
A friend of the pair told the Mail: ‘Romeo and Kim are both young and they had a lovely time together but at that age things don’t always last forever and they decided to split up.
‘They have been friendly since and have even been at the same venues. It’s a huge shame, particularly as David and Victoria really adored her and thought she made Romeo happy but it wasn’t to be.
‘It happened a couple of weeks ago and relations have remained friendly between them.’
The pair were together for seven months
‘David and Victoria would hate for the view to be that they split because of Nicola and Brooklyn because that simply isn’t the case.
‘The fact is that Kim has got a really busy career as a DJ and Romeo has a busy work life too, there is lots of travelling for both of them and having a relationship at this time isn’t all that conducive to their lives.’
Over the past few months, it’s been whispered that the Beckham feud was between Brooklyn and Romeo.
It was rumoured Brooklyn dated Kim before his younger brother in 2016, causing a rift between the pair.
However, Cruz Beckham, 20, weighed in on the rumours in a now-deleted social media comment, in which he clarified: ‘Brooklyn and Kim never dated.’
TMZ reported that Brooklyn and Romeo have fallen out since Kim came onto the scene, as Brooklyn and Kim dated as teenagers in 2016
The outlet claimed that Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham question if Kim has the right intentions when it comes to dating Romeo.
They also added that sources informed them that Brooklyn and his wife will no longer attend family events where Kim will be present.
Since reports of the feud came to light, they haven’t exactly been shut down by the Beckhams, with Brooklyn making various cryptic comments.
A source previously told Metro that Brooklyn is keen to patch things up with his father and was sad not to attend his big 50th bash.
‘Brooklyn feels disappointed in himself for not attending David’s 50th birthday party,’ they said. ‘He wants things to go back to how they were, but it feels as if the divide has separated the family deeply.’
And an insider explained that Victoria was desperately hoping her son will ‘come around’.
‘She’s hoping Brooklyn will come around and see things for what they are,’ they said. ‘They’ve always been a close-knit family and seeing how things are now has been devastating for Victoria and David.’
Brooklyn appears to have shot a series of public digs at his family over the past few months.
He shared a video of himself and Nicola on Instagram with a caption vowing to always ‘choose [her]’.
He wrote: ‘My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you’re the most amazing person i know xx me and you forever baby.’
In response, Cruz posted a message dedicated to his mum, dad, and siblings on his own Instagram story.
‘Victoria is upset that things have escalated to this point. Brooklyn has made his position clear in his recent post and that has left both herself and David heartbroken,’ the insider told Metro.
‘They will always be there for Brooklyn, and as Victoria said in a recent interview, she’s a brilliant mum to her children – they all mean the world to her.
‘But things at the moment feel divided and Brooklyn’s remarks haven’t helped the situation. They are desperate for things to improve.’
A source close to Brooklyn told Metro: ‘It’s sad that a simple statement of love and appreciation for his wife is being manipulated into something that it isn’t.’
In a recent interview, Brooklyn also appeared to backtrack on the origin of his hot sauce range name, Cloud23.
On the official website for the sauce, according to The Mirror a member of Brooklyn’s team replied to a question about the name, writing: ‘The 23 included in our brand is a warm nod to Brooklyn’s father, David Beckham, who wore number 23 while playing for Real Madrid and LA Galaxy.’
However, in a chat to Glamour Brooklyn gave a different story, explaining: ‘The 23 stands for our engagement date and my age back then.’
