Romeo Beckham and girlfriend Kim Turnbull have split up after just seven months together. The pair’s romance “fizzled out” shortly after Romeo’s dad David’s star-studded 50th birthday party last month.
A friend of the pair told the Mail: “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.”
The Sun has contacted representatives for Kim and Romeo.
Kim, 26, is said to be at the heart of the Beckham family feud in which eldest child Brooklyn and wife Nicola Peltz, 30, have become estranged.
Brooklyn previously dated Kim as a teenager and was reportedly unhappy she was on the guestlist for David’s birthday celebrations.
However, the insider insists that the feud has had no bearing on their decision to call it a day.
Kim and Romeo went public in November, 20 months after his split from Mia Reagan, his ex of five years.
While Kim was previously linked to Rocco Ritchie, the son of Madonna and Guy Ritchie, who is one of Becks’ closest pals.
The Beckhams are yet to speak publicly about their family row, but there have been digs thrown around on social media.
Tellingly, Brooklyn publicly wished Nicola’s brother a happy birthday just days ago, not long after snubbing his dad’s milestone entirely.
He has also added a floral tattoo to his chest, swamping the “mama’s boy” tribute to his mum Victoria that previously took pride of place.
While Romeo’s romance has ended, Brooklyn and Nicola’s appears stronger than ever as they band together.
In a love-struck confession, Brooklyn, 26, said he knew she was “the one” after just three months of dating.
He opened up to Glamour on his early plans to pop the question to the Lola actor, who he married in Miami three years ago.
In a rare joint interview with his wife, Brooklyn said: “I knew after three months that I wanted to marry her.
“But because of Covid, I wanted to wait until our families could be there.”
The chef and photographer failed to mention his parents, David and Victoria, by name amid their feud which has seen claims Brooklyn has now hired Prince Harry’s lawyers to solve the bitter dispute.
Brooklyn continued to detail his proposal plans to Glamour’s Germany edition and added: “A few hours before, I had a golf cart accident and needed stitches in my hand.
“My thumb was completely bandaged – I couldn’t even open the wine!”
During the chat, he was quick to gush over his spouse and their almost-instant connection.
He said: “When I first saw Nicola at Coachella, I was immediately captivated – by her beauty, her warmth, her charisma.
“Even though it was only a fleeting moment, it stayed with me for a long time.”
He then added: “You have to marry your best friend, someone you feel at home with. For me, Nicola is exactly that.”
