Last year, Romeo split from his girlfriend of 5 years, Mia Regan. Months after the split, he went Instagram official with his glamorous new girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, a DJ and model who is no stranger to celebrity circles herself. And now it looks like she’s at the centre of the recent family feud. Intrigued? Here's everything you need to know about the latest Beckham family controversy.
Romeo and Brooklyn Beckham feuding because of his girlfriend
TMZ broke the news that a significant rift has opened between Brooklyn Beckham and his younger brother Romeo, who turned 22 last year, with the source of tension being Romeo’s girlfriend, Kim Turnbull. According to insiders connected to the Beckham family, Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham have reservations regarding Kim’s true motives in dating Romeo.
Brooklyn and Nicola were also absent from David Beckham’s recent lavish 50th birthday celebration—an event where Romeo was seen with Kim. Romeo posted an Instagram photo from the event captioned, ‘Family is everything,’ yet did not tag Brooklyn or Nicola, prompting speculation among fans.
Fans also noticed Brooklyn and Nicola’s absence from several recent Beckham family events. E! News highlights their no-show at Victoria Beckham’s Paris Fashion Week show and David's star-studded underwear campaign launch in January.
TMZ has also suggested that Brooklyn and Nicola Beckham will not appear at any public family events attended by Kim, highlighting just how strained the situation has become. Despite Brooklyn's clear reservations, David and Victoria reportedly trust Kim, welcoming her presence around Romeo.
It was rumoured that Kim and Brooklyn had a romance of their own, and this only added to the speculation of a rift. However, Cruz recently debunked the fake news saying:
Brooklyn and Kim never dated.
Who is Kim Turnbull?
Kim Turnbull, 23, is a London-based DJ and model. As per Daily Mail, Kim is an accomplished DJ known for blending hip-hop, Afrobeat, amapiano, and electronic music. Her career took off during the pandemic when Kim realised she could make money from her passion. She has played at notable venues like Fabric and KOKO and has appeared at festivals across multiple continents.
Kim’s modelling portfolio is equally impressive. She’s collaborated with luxury brands like Fendi, Tommy Hilfiger, and Marc Jacobs, and fronted campaigns for household names such as Rimmel London.
She also comes from a family of artists; her grandfather, William Turnbull, was a renowned post-war sculptor whose works are exhibited at prominent institutions including London's Tate Gallery. Her father and uncle were members of the influential post-punk band 23 Skidoo.
Before Romeo, Kim briefly dated another nepo kid—Rocco Ritchie, son of Madonna and director Guy Ritchie, back in 2016.
