All is not well in Beckhamville. The Beckham family feud rumours are gathering traction with each passing day, spurred on by the notable absence of Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz-Beckham from recent family events.
According to sources who spoke to TMZ, it all started around December, when Romeo Beckham started dating London-born DJ Kim Turnbull, who TMZ claimed was Brooklyn’s ex-girlfriend.
But it turns out it’s not quite that simple, as youngest Beckham brother, Cruz, clarified on Instagram that Brooklyn and Kim aren’t actually former partners. “Brooklyn and Kim never dated,” he explained in an Instagram comment in response to the feud.
What we do know is this: the two Londoners used to hang out when they were teenagers, with Beckham, 26, and Turnbull, 24, spotted flirting around the same time that she was linked to another nepo baby: Rocco Ritchie, son of Madonna and Guy Ritchie.
This was around 2017, before Beckham and Turnbull appeared to go their separate ways. Now, she’s back and dating a Beckham brother — for real this time. Turnbull has gone official with Romeo, 22, who has been previously linked to photographer Gray Sorrenti and model Mia Regan, his long-term ex-girlfriend.
Romeo Beckham and Kim Turnbull are fully established as a couple, appearing at family events and posing for group photos with David and Victoria Beckham. But insiders are claiming that this is what has led to the rift between Brooklyn Beckham, Nicola Peltz-Beckham and the rest of the family.
For as long as Turnbull has been around, Brooklyn and Nicola have been conspicuously absent from family events. According to TMZ, this isn’t borne out of any latent feelings or jealousy, but rather a fear over Turnbull’s “intentions” with Romeo.
The feud rumours gained real traction after Brooklyn and Nicola failed to attend David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations last month, when every other member of the core Beckham clan was present.
Then came Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz-Beckham’s third wedding anniversary on April 9. Fans noticed that none of the family chose to congratulate them on the milestone, sparking further suspicion.
On April 17, Victoria Beckham celebrated her 51st birthday in the company of her loving family — all apart from Brooklyn and Nicola. While the majority of the Beckham family were partying with Victoria on the family’s superyacht in Miami, Brooklyn and Nicola were busying living it up at Coachella.
Fans also noticed that neither Brooklyn or Nicola acknowledged Victoria’s birthday on social media, while the rest of the family did. David kicked off the birthday tributes for Victoria by sharing old photos of the Spice Girls star with their children, writing: “Happy Birthday Mummy. We all love you sooooo much,” adding, “Happy Birthday to the most amazing Wife, Mummy & Best Friend that we could all wish for. Have the most perfect day because you deserve to and we love you so much.”
Romeo followed, writing: “Happy Birthday to the most amazing mum, keep shining and making us all proud, love you lots.” Cruz, age 20, added: “Happy Birthday to the most inspirational mum, you have done everything for us.”
Meanwhile, a bit of potential beef between the Beckham brood was noticed in the Instagram comments section. In a recent post by Mia Regan, Romeo’s ex-girlfriend, Nicola Peltz commented saying: “So beautiful Mia,” with the sparkle and pink heart emoji. Then, days later, Cruz commented the exact same thing under his brother Romeo’s Instagram post, while Romeo responded with laughing emojis.
While all this has been going on, Romeo appears to be closer to his parents than ever. The second eldest Beckham child is incredibly football-minded (though, ironically, an Arsenal fan, to the endless irritation of his Manchester United legend father) and Romeo and David are known to attend football games together. Earlier this month, Romeo, Harper, and Victoria supported David Beckham at an Inter Miami game. Beckham has been the co-owner of Inter Miami since 2014.
On the other hand, things between David, Victoria, Brooklyn and Nicola haven’t always been plain sailing. Rumours of a feud between the four started around 2022, when Brooklyn and Nicola were preparing for their wedding, leading to some alleged tension between the two couples over wedding planning arrangements.
The pair had appeared to mend their relationship in the years since, with Nicola attending Victoria’s fashion shows and the two women often posing for pictures together or posting about each other on social media. This peace period now seems to have come to an end, and there’s no telling how long the new rumoured Beckham feud may last.
