Romeo Beckham shared a passionate post about telling the people you love how much you appreciate them following the tragic death of Diogo Jota. The Premier League footballer and his brother, Andre Felipe, died in a crash in Zamora near Spain’s north-west border with Portugal.
The tragic incident occurred just days after Jota’s marriage to his childhood sweetheart, Rute Cardoso, who had to identify her husband and his brother after the devastating crash. After the news was made public, Romeo took to his Instagram to share a picture of the footballer along with a few heartbroken emojis.
He later returned to his Instagram Stories to send a cryptic message to his older brother, Brooklyn Beckham, telling him that ‘the people that truly love you and care for you will always be there’.

The recent post comes amid a reported family feud between Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz, and the rest of the Beckham family.
Romeo wrote: “Life is too short, love who you love and tell them how much you really do! Life can flash before your eyes at any moment! But the people that truly love you and care for you will always be there…
“Don’t hold back from LOVE OR APPRECIATION for ANYTHING OR ANYONE.”
Piers Morgan also shared a tribute on social media. On Twitter/X, he wrote: “Desperately sad news coming out of Spain that Liverpool and Portugal star Diogo Jota, 28, has died, along with his brother, in a car accident in Zamora. He only got married 2 weeks ago. Heart-breaking.”
Others paying respects on social media was footballer Harry Maguire’s wife, Fern Maguire. She shared the Premier League’s tribute as she wrote: “Utterly heartbreaking.”

David Beckham also penned touching tribute over the top of a black-and-white image of the star in a Portugal game.”Devastating to hear this such sad news.. Sending love to Diogo & Andre’s families,” he wrote.
Meanwhile, Brooklyn and Nicola sparked concern for the famous family when they failed to attend any of David’s 50th birthday celebrations in May. They had even jetted into London from Los Angeles but decided to stay away from the special family events.
It proved just the start of distance forming for the Beckhams, as Brooklyn failed to reach out to his football icon dad when he received his long-awaited knighthood.
Father’s Day also came and went without a murmur from the eldest son, with reports claiming he has stopped responding to his famous parents and siblings.
