Could the bitter Peltz-Beckham war be coming to an end? The news that Romeo Beckham has split from his girlfriend Kim Turnbull may see relations between Brooklyn Beckham and his family finally improve after weeks of tension and snubs.

Aspiring chef Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz have kept their distance from the Beckham clan recently – even missing David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations in April – and Romeo’s choice of romantic partner was said to be the catalyst for the rift.

Earlier this year, it was suggested that Romeo’s brother Brooklyn had once been romantically linked to Kim, though it’s previously been reported that in a now-deleted post, Cruz Beckham claimed the pair “never dated”.

However, TMZ claimed two months ago that it was “all water under the bridge”. The outlet reported that sources said the issue was over Brooklyn and his wife Nicola questioning whether Kim had “the right intentions” for dating Romeo.

Amid the drama, Romeo, 22, and Kim, 26, have now decided to separate after a seven-month whirlwind romance, with an insider revealing that the pair “split a few weeks ago and it’s all amicable and they are still friends”.

Many will be hopeful Romeo’s new relationship status will see the Beckham boys reunite and Brooklyn patch things up with his family, but they shouldn’t hold their breath. It’s claimed Kim’s involvement in the family drama isn’t the reason behind the breakup – and David and Victoria Beckham, 51, want to make that fact clear.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, an insider revealed that Posh and Becks “really adored” Kim and believed she made him “happy”. The source added that things have “remained friendly” since the split a “couple of weeks ago”.

They stated: “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. 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 at having a relationship at this time isn’t all that conducive to their lives.”

Victoria’s approval of Kim is a stark contrast to how the singer-turned-designer reportedly views her eldest son’s wife. Brooklyn and billionaire heiress Nicola tied the knot in 2022, and it has since been claimed that Victoria left the bride in tears on her special day, thanks to allegedly hijacking a dance.

And if the tension between Victoria and Nicola is true, it’s pretty clear who Brooklyn will pick if forced to choose between his spouse and his mother. The former photographer is a self-confessed ‘wife guy’ and last month admitted Nicola is his one and only priority.

In a heartfelt post early on Instagram, Brooklyn uploaded a video featuring him and Nicola cruising on a red motorcycle, with Lana Del Rey’s ‘National Anthem’ providing the soundtrack.

He affectionately captioned the clip: “My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you’re the most amazing person I know xx me and you forever baby [heart emojis]”.

Newly single Romeo has also been wearing his heart on his sleeve when it comes to emotional social media posts. Earlier this week, young star shared a heart-rending video from Spanish football coach Luis Enrique, who poignantly recounted the loss of his nine-year-old daughter to cancer.

Luis Enrique’s daughter Xana tragically died of osteosarcoma in 2019, and his heartfelt coping strategies resonated with Romeo, prompting him to post a moving reflection. Reflecting on life’s bigger picture, he mused, “I watch stuff like this and look at myself and think why am I stressing bout something so small in the grand scheme of things,” above the clip.

He signed off with sage advice, “Love who you love without questions, take care of each other, respect each other and enjoy life,” complemented by a simple white heart and a camera emoji.”

Romeo’s post could possibly be a hint he’s ready to stop warring with his big brother and focus on the bigger picture, with it claimed the Beckham rift hasn’t yet caused lasting damage. “The relationship is definitely not beyond repair,” a source told American publication PEOPLE in early May. “They love and are always there for [Brooklyn]. They’re just hurt and disappointed that he’s now playing no part in family life.”

But while the Beckham side may seem willing to move forward, Brooklyn’s latest interview makes it clear that the hot sauce company owner is laser focused on his marriage.

Asked how he protects his relationship in “such a public spotlight”, Brooklyn told Glamour Germany: “Ignore the noise. Keep your head down, work hard, be kind. People are always going to talk. What matters is that we’re happy together.”

Nicola added: “It’s not always easy. On TikTok there are always random stories popping up about us. When I see fake news, my instinct is to shut it down. But it’s not worth it. I just scroll past and move on.”

The couple’s Glamour Germany photoshoot reveals that Brooklyn has given his “mama’s boy” tattoo, etched over his heart, a floral makeover, seemingly in tribute to his wife Nicola Peltz’s wedding bouquet.

The fresh images reveal Brooklyn’s new tattoo of flowers covering the “mama’s boy” inscription he got back in 2018 as an homage to his mum Victoria. The aspiring chef has around 100 tattoos, with nearly 70 are tributes to Nicola and her family. Brooklyn got his tribute to Posh Spice in 2018 when he labelled himself a mama’s boy.

But, much to Victoria’s disappointment, it looks like Brooklyn is all about being a ‘wife guy’ instead these days.
