Kim Turnbull, Romeo Beckham’s ex, has opened up about dealing with being in the spotlight after splitting from him earlier this year amid rumors of a family split.
Kim Turnbull has opened up about being in the spotlight after making headlines over her relationship with Romeo Beckham. Her latest comments come after it was revealed that the former couple had split up just weeks ago.
It was announced earlier this month that Kim, 25, had separated from Romeo, 22, after seven months together. It was suggested that they were on good terms though, with a source telling the Mirror at the time: “They split a few weeks ago and it’s all amicable and they are still friends.”
The news of their break-up came amid ongoing rumours of tension in his family. Kim’s relationship with Romeo – who is the son of Victoria Beckham and David Beckham – was previously blamed for the alleged rift in recent months.
Amid the rumours earlier this year, it was suggested that Kim had once been romantically linked to Romeo’s brother Brooklyn Beckham, 26. It’s previously been reported that in a now-deleted post, youngest brother Cruz Beckham, 20, said the pair “never dated” and Kim is since understood to have herself dismissed the suggestion in a statement.
Kim has addressed dealing with the attention in an interview with the Sunday Times, published this week. The interview is said to have taken place just hours after the news of the DJ’s split from model Romeo broke just a few weeks ago.
Kim said that being in the spotlight is expected, while adding that it is expected. She continued, “I just take it day by day and try to focus on the positives, because there are times you find yourself in that present you with new aspects, but I think it has always been something I’ve been around and seen.”
She continued, “Sometimes it’s difficult to block things out because, frequently, there are things said that aren’t necessarily true or necessarily positive, and your instinctive response is to be like, no, that’s not true”! Kim claimed she has since learned to “take it with a pinch of salt”
Whatever it is, Kim said, “It’s definitely tough when people talk about you in ways that don’t necessarily reflect your personality and values.” You just can’t respond to every comment, she said, despite having to at times.
The new article comes after Kim appeared to dismiss the suggestion that she had ever dated Brooklyn following the rumours. As reported at the time, she addressed speculation in a post on Instagram earlier this month.
She wrote in the post, “I’ve avoided speaking on this subject to prevent adding fuel to the fire, but it’s come to the point where I feel the need to address it so I can move on.” To fit a particular narrative, I will not continue to be harassed or embarrassed by lies.
The speculation that she once dated Brooklyn, Romeo’s older brother, was then glaring up. She claimed, “I have never been romantically involved with the person I’m dating at any time.”
Kim continued, “Nothing between us has developed past a school friendship at the age of 16.” In order to benefit everyone involved, I would like to step aside from the ongoing conversation and clarify things.
TMZ had previously suggested that she once had a romantic connection to Brooklyn, but said it was “all water under the bridge”. Amid rumours of a family rift, the outlet reported that sources said the issue was over Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, questioning whether Kim had “the right intentions” for dating his younger brother Romeo.
When it was announced that Kim had split from Romeo, the Daily Mail reported that their relationship had “fizzled out”. The outlet suggested that the break-up was “nothing to do” with her being blamed for the alleged family rift, with a source instead saying that Kim and Romeo were simply both “busy” with work and each did “lots of travelling”.
