Romeo Beckham and Kim Turnbull appear to have parted ways, just weeks after attending David Beckham’s milestone 50th birthday together.
The couple, who had been publicly dating since November, are said to have ended their relationship amicably and will remain friends.
The break-up is believed to have taken place around three weeks after the Beckham family marked David’s birthday — a high-profile event that fuelled speculation about tensions between the family’s eldest son Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30.
Kim was the only girlfriend at the do, with Brooklyn and Nicola noticeably absent, which has since sparked rumours there is a family rift.
But who is Kim Turnbull? Here is everything we know.
Who is Kim Turnbull?
Kim is a 24-year-old model and DJ from North London.
She is known to blend hip hop, Afrobeats and electronic music and has toured the world with her DJ work, performing in the UK, US and Asia.
But music is not her only passion — she is also an esteemed model and has worked on campaigns for Ellesse, Fendi, Tommy Hilfiger, Rimmel London, Miu Miu and Marc Jacobs.
Her dad, Alex Turnbull, is a DJ and founder of one of the UK’s first hip-hop labels, Ronin Records. Creativity clearly runs in the family as her grandfather, William Turnbull, was a sculptor and painter whose work was displayed in top galleries, including London’s Tate Modern.
How did Kim and Romeo meet?
The pair are believed to have met at the tail end of last year, and officially started dating in November.
They were publicely spotted on dog walks and lunch dates, particularly around London, before they went Insta official.
Since they started their love affair, Kim has been a frequent face seen at the Beckhams’ gatherings. She has attended birthday parties and was even seen supporting Victoria during her Paris Fashion Week show.
Who else has Kim dated?
Before Romeo, Kim dated Rocco Ritchie — the son of Madonna and Guy Ritchie — back in 2016.
There have also been rumours from fan groups that Kim had dated Romeo’s older brother Brooklyn, but this has never been confirmed.
Why have Kim and Romeo split?
No official reason has been made public by the pair, however sources have speculated that they are simply too young, and it hasn’t worked out.
Earlier reports had hinted that Romeo’s relationship with Kim may have contributed to family tensions, but sources told the Daily Mail that the break-up had “nothing to do” with any alleged feud.
An insider told the outlet: “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. 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 source added.
“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 at having a relationship at this time isn’t all that conducive to their lives.”
