Kim Turnbull first fell in love with Romeo Beckham last summer, and the Beckham family has been deeply tensed by her new romance due to rumors about a past feud with Brooklyn.
The Beckhams are known for being one of the most tight-knit families in showbiz, but that seems to have changed. David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations might have confirmed a rift in the pack, and sources say it could all be down to newcomer Kim Turnbull.
David celebrated his big milestone at the fancy Core restaurant in London, and it was attended by stars including Guy Ritchie, Eva Longoria and Gordon Ramsay. And, of course, his family all turned up – bar Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz-Beckham.
Kim, 24, was there as the girlfriend of Romeo Beckham, 22, and is said to be the reason behind Brooklyn’s absence, with the brothers reportedly no longer on speaking terms due to the relationship, despite her closeness with the rest of the family. But who is Kim, and why has her appearance put such a spanner in the works for David, Victoria, and their four children?

Kim herself has a very wealthy background, and she is not a stranger to fame. While Romain’s girlfriend is the granddaughter of world-renowned post-war artist and painter William Turnbull, her parents Johnny and Alex were members of the 1979 post-punk band 23 Skidoo.
Kim, who primarily works as a model and DJ, appears to have acquired Turnbull’s creative abilities. Beyond his punk background, her father, who founded the UK hip hop label Ronin Records and has a lot of connections in the music business, are also related to her father.
Kim, who has collaborated with numerous fashion companies, including Tommy Hilfiger, leads a similarly glamorous social life to her Beckham boyfriend, and enjoys attending exclusive events with other celebrities.
Kim was well-known for her closeness with Brooklyn, many sources claiming that they had a romantic relationship before she started dating Romeo.
In their late teens, Kim formed a close trio with Brooklyn and Madonna’s son Rocco Ritchie, whom she befriended soon after he moved to London. Aside from spending time as a group, Brooklyn and Kim also spent lots of time as a duo and were pictured enjoying lunch together in 2016, with many sources claiming that they were dating.
Kim and Rocco started dating in 2017, the year that it was rumored to be related, but Brooklyn continued to enjoy their mutual friendship.
The family remains firm in dispelling rumours that Brooklyn dated Kim, and Cruz Beckham recently weighed in on the discussion. In a now deleted post, a fan wrote in response to a photo of Kim and Romeo: “It’s appropriate to date your brother’s ex too? Cool.” Before the post disappeared, Cruz reportedly stated: “Brooklyn and Kim never dated.”
Years later, sources have told TMZ that Romeo’s relationship with Kim is playing its part in the siblings falling out considering Brooklyn’s own history with her. Concerning the rumoured past romance, a source assured that “that’s all water under the bridge” considering Brooklyn is happily married to Nicola, but that “the issue at hand is the couple questions whether Kim has the right intentions in dating Romeo”.
Now, the outlet reports that Brooklyn has told his family that he will not attend any family events that Kim is also invited to. Considering Kim was at David’s birthday, Brooklyn is now said to be feeling left out and feels his family have chosen to side against him. A source close to Brooklyn told The Sun: “He flew to London with the sole intention of seeing his family and celebrating his dad’s birthday.
He suggested having breakfast or a cup of coffee, but he was informed that Kim would likely attend one of their lavish parties, so he objected. His parents, in his opinion, have preferred Romeo and his new girlfriend over him.
