Brooklyn Beckham and Romeo Beckham are reportedly at war over Romeo’s new girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, who has been rumoured to be Brooklyn’s ex-girlfriend.
Oh, the White Lotus of it all! Earlier this month TMZ reported that the eldest children of David and Victoria Beckham are no longer on speaking terms due to Romeo’s relationship with Kim Turnbull, but it’s not due to the reason you might think.
Brooklyn Beckham, 26, is said to have dated Kim Turnbull, 24, back in 2016, when the pair were both teenagers. The pair were photographed spending time together in London and were known to be friends.
Now, Turnbull is dating Romeo, 22, with the pair recently attending David Beckham’s 50th birthday party together — where Brooklyn Beckham was conspicuously absent.
According to TMZ, this is due to the brothers' “feuding” over Romeo’s relationship with Turnbull, but it’s not due to any jealousy or remaining embers of love. Brooklyn is happily married to model and actress Nicola Peltz, whom he wed in Palm Beach in 2022.
Instead, TMZ reports that the feud is due to “a question of [Turnbull’s] motives”. Directly addressing David Beckham’s 50th birthday, TMZ writes that “Brooklyn and Nicola will not be present at any public family events that Kim is at.”
And now, the feud rumours have been further exacerbated by eagle-eyed social media followers, with it being noted that despite the Beckham family’s famous tendency to gush on each other’s posts — especially those related to major milestones — that none of Brooklyn’s family have commented on his anniversary Instagram post, which he shared to mark three years who Nicola Peltz. It has also been observed that none of them liked it.
Brooklyn, 26, shared a photo from their wedding, captioned: “Happy 3 year anniversary baby x I love you with all my heart x I’m so lucky I get to spend everyday with you and wake up to your beautiful face everyday you are my world x I love you so much Nicola xxxxxxx.
As for his brood’s notable silence: perhaps they sent a private message like us regular people. But, none the less it has raised alarm bells.
Though the family haven’t all been silent this week on matters related to the eldest brothers: Cruz was spotted responding to someone on Instagram who weighed in about Romeo and Brooklyn supposedly both having dated Kim. Dispelling rumours that they being romantically involved as TMZ suggested, he retorted (in now-deleted messages) to someone who wrote: "It's appropriate to date your brother's ex too? Cool," under Romeo’s latest photo of Kim, by apparently writing "Brooklyn and Kim never dated" on the post.
It was observed earlier this year, that Brooklyn and Nicola also skipped Victoria Beckham’s Paris Fashion Week, with TMZ being told that this was also due to the fact that Kim was present. They did, however, attend the Burberry fashion show in London.
According to TMZ’s sources, things started going sour between Romeo and Brooklyn Beckham in December, even though David and Victoria are supportive of the pairing. Apparently, there is no ill will between Beckham towards Romeo himself, and only his new girlfriend.
Kim Turnbull is a Londoner and describes herself as a “multidimensional creative, model & international DJ”. Before dating Turnbull, Romeo Beckham was in a long-term relationship with model Mia Regan.
Meanwhile, Turnbull has some famous exes of her own — and clearly has a thing for a nepo baby (or two). Before Beckham, she dated Madonna and Guy Ritchie’s son Rocco Ritchie, around 2017.
