Gillian McKeith's daughter Afton claims Brooklyn Beckham blocked her after fling

Gillian McKeith's daughter Afton McKeith's brief romance with old school pal Brooklyn Beckham seemingly didn't end on the best of terms.

The pageant winning 23-year-old claims budding chef Brooklyn has her blocked on Instagram despite the pair once enjoying a brief fling together back in the day.

Afton - who boasts an impressive following online - attended school alongside David and Victoria Beckham's eldest child and other showbiz nepo babies, like Guy Ritchie and Madonna's son Rocco Ritchie.

During their time at the prestigious private school, Afton and Brooklyn reportedly struck up a romance and enjoyed a fleeting relationship as teenagers.

But Brooklyn - who is now loved-up with wife Nicole Peltz - allegedly left the daughter of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! star Gillian heartbroken when he called time on their union.

At the time of the split, a then 17 year old Afton said: "I’m better off without him. I’m fine."

She then went on to reveal she got to meet Posh and Becks during her time with their first born child, saying: "They are very nice. Victoria is very protective over him."

When quizzed about if she misses the former photographer, Afton's mother Gillian chimed in and quipped: "No, she doesn’t. I’m actually glad he’s gone. No boyfriends now until she is 25."

Fast-forward to 2021 and Afton was well and truly over her teenage heartbreak- taking to TikTok to share how her ex Brooklyn had blocked her on Instagram and laughing off the petty move.

Before becoming Mr Peltz Beckham, Brooklyn enjoyed a string of high-profile romances and dated stars like American actress Chloë Grace Moretz and English model Hana Cross.

Nicola and Brooklyn exchanged wedding vows in April last year in Florida, with a whole host of celebrities watching on as they exchanged vows on the Bates Motel star's family lavish estate.

Budding chef Brooklyn asked Nicola to be his wife back in July 2020 - getting down on one knee with a ring believed to be worth around $200,000.

Last year, Brooklyn shared the advice his famous parents gave him ahead of becoming a married man.

"Just love each other, try and not worry about anything," he recalled to E! Pop Daily. "Keep working and just try and have fun."

Brooklyn and Nicola both gushed about their romance on social media last month, as they celebrated one whole year as husband and wife.

"I can't believe it's been a year since I walked down the aisle. I love you so much, baby," Nicola penned on Instagram. "I love being your wife. I couldn't imagine my life without you. You are everything I've ever dreamt of, and I'm so happy I got my life with you. Today was so amazing celebrating with our families!"
