Romeo Beckham’s ex girlfriend Kim Turbull has broken ranks to speak out about the Brooklyn feud that has tormented the close-knit family
Romeo Beckham’s ex girlfriend Kim Turnbull has sensationally broken her silence on her “relationship” with Brooklyn after being dragged into the bitter family feud.
Kim, 26, is said to be at the heart of the Beckham fallout in which eldest child Brooklyn and wife Nicola Peltz, 30, have become estranged. Model and DJ Kim is said to have dated Brooklyn before he met billionaire heiress Nicola.
Following weeks of headlines about her and Brooklyn, Kim fumed that she was ’embarrassed by the lies’ and could stay quiet no longer. Kim has been part of the Beckhams inner circle – attending numerous family gatherings, and even David’s 50th birthday celebrations that Brooklyn and Nicola snubbed – during her time as Romeo’s girlfriend.
However, this month Romeo and Kim called it quits putting an end to their controversial romance.
Today she spoke out for the first time on the family drama that has engulfed the Beckhams and cast a shadow over David’s knighthood announcement this weekend as his eldest son continues to ignore his achievement.

Taking to Instagram, newly-single Kim fired: “I’ve avoided speaking on this topic to prevent adding fuel to the fire, however it’s come to a point where I feel the need to address it so I can move on.”
She continued: “I will not continue to receive harassment or be embarrassed on the basis of lies, to fit a certain narrative.”
Seemingly addressing the Brooklyn rumours, Kim then clarified: “I have never been romantically involved in ANY capacity at ANY point with the person in question. Nothing between us has occurred further than a school friendship at age 16.
“I would like to remove myself from the ongoing conversation and set the record straight for the sake of everyone involved.”
Kim found herself at the centre of the Beckham feud after it had been reported that Brooklyn was ‘unsure about her motives’ for dating his younger brother, Romeo.
There were whispers that Brooklyn dated Kim when they teenagers, but his younger brother Cruz denied this in a now deleted Instagram post and now Kim has followed suit.
After Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola, swerved David’s 50th birthday last month it was reported that the budding chef felt that his parents were ‘prioritising’ Romeo and Kim found herself in the firing line.
After seven months together, it was said that their relationship “fizzled out” three weeks after David’s milestone birthday.
Kim’s defiant post today comes after Brooklyn brutally snubbed his dad on Father’s Day. The newly appointed Sir paid a heartfelt tribute to his firstborn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper, sharing a snap of them all together and appearing to hint at his feud with Brooklyn.
Captioning the photo, he said: “My most important and favourite job in life is being a dad… I’m so proud of all of you and like daddy ( sorry boys ) tells you every single day I will always be here for you no matter what…
“Mummy thank you for doing the most important part and making me a father there is no greater gift in life than making me a dad… Happy Father’s Day… I love you kiddies more than you could imagine.”
He also shared a snap of him and Brooklyn, quaffing red wine, with the caption: “I love you @brooklynpeltzbeckham.”
However, Brooklyn remained silent on his dad’s special day, again. His wife, Nicola, also failed to mention her father-in-law, but did pay tribute to her own dad.
Taking to Instagram, sharing a snap of the pair, she wrote: “Happy Father’s Day to the greatest dad in the world. I am so lucky to be your daughter I love you more than you will ever know. Thank you for always being my constant support. I love you beyond words. Happy Father’s Day dad.”
