Romeo Beckham splits from Kim Turnbull weeks after family feud rumours surface

Romeo Beckham has reportedly split from his girlfriend Kim Turnbull, just weeks after celebrating his father David Beckham’s milestone 50th birthday.

The couple, who had been publicly dating since November, are said to have ended their relationship amicably.

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.

The couple were notably absent from the celebrations, sparking rumours of a rift.

Although earlier reports had hinted that Romeo’s relationship with Kim may have contributed to family tensions, other 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.”

In light of the reports, the 22-year-old was spotted on Wednesday evening as he left the Twenty Two hotel in Mayfair, following a night out in London, in photos obtained by MailOnline.

Kim, 24, an artist and model, had also previously been linked to Rocco Ritchie, the son of Madonna and Guy Ritchie.

And in recent months, speculation resurfaced online about a rumoured romantic connection between her and Brooklyn — though their youngest brother, Cruz Beckham, appeared to shut this down in a now-deleted post, stating they “never dated.”

Romeo and Kim’s relationship became public late last year, 20 months after his break-up with Mia Regan, whom he had dated for five years.

The Standard has contacted Romeo Beckham and Kim Turnbull’s reps for comment.
