Romeo Beckham ‘splits’ from girlfriend Kim Turnbull as couple embroiled in rumoured family rift
Romeo Beckham and Kim Turnbull have reportedly ended their relationship after seven months together. The 22-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham is said to have split from the 26-year-old DJ several weeks ago.
A friend of the couple told MailOnline: “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.”
Sources close to the pair are understood to have confirmed the separation occurred approximately two to three weeks ago.
The couple went public with their romance in November, following Romeo’s previous five-year relationship with Mia Reagan.
The couple’s relationship reportedly “fizzled out” following David Beckham’s star-studded 50th birthday party last month. Despite the end of their romance, sources emphasise that relations have remained cordial between them.
“They have been friendly since and have even been at the same venues,” the friend stated.
“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,” they told The Mail.
The source added: “It happened a couple of weeks ago and relations have remained friendly between them.”
According to sources, the former couple have maintained an amicable relationship since their separation, with both continuing to move in similar social circles without any apparent tension.
Kim Turnbull’s presence has been linked to alleged and ongoing tensions within the Beckham family.
Reports suggest that Brooklyn Beckham, Romeo’s eldest brother, was reportedly unhappy about Kim being on the guest list for David’s 50th birthday celebrations.
The 26-year-old DJ is said to be at the heart of the family feud which has seen Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz keep their distance from the Beckham clan.
It was previously suggested that Brooklyn had once been romantically linked to Kim, though Cruz Beckham stated in a now-deleted post that the pair “never dated.”
According to reports, Brooklyn and Nicola questioned whether Kim had “the right intentions” for dating Romeo.
However, insiders maintain that the alleged family dynamics had no bearing on the couple’s decision to separate.
It is also understood that the family have emphasised that the split was unrelated to any family tensions.
A source further told the publication: “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.”
Instead, the separation has been attributed to their demanding professional schedules.
“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 and having a relationship at this time isn’t all that conducive to their lives,” the insider explained.
