Model Romeo Beckham has split up from his partner Kim Turnbull. The news this week comes after the couple’s relationship was previously blamed for the alleged rift within the Beckham family in recent months.

It’s now been revealed that Romeo, 22, and Kim, 24, have separated after seven months together. It’s said that their relationship “fizzled out” three weeks after his father David Beckham’s 50th birthday, which was at the start of last month.

The special occasion fuelled rumours of a family feud as David’s eldest son Brooklyn Beckham, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, were thought to have been absent from celebrations. Romeo’s relationship with Kim was attributed as a factor in the alleged rift at one point, though more recently other parties have been blamed instead amid ongoing speculation.

Now, it’s been announced that Romeo and Kim have parted ways. A source told the Mirror: “They split a few weeks ago and it’s all amicable and they are still friends.”

And according to the Daily Mail, it’s been suggested that the apparent break-up is “nothing to do” with Kim being blamed for the alleged family feud. A source told the outlet: “Romeo and Kim are both young and they had a lovely time together but at that age things don’t always last forever and they decided to split up.” They added that the pair have been “friendly” since then.

They said it’s a “huge shame,” especially as Romeo’s parents David and Victoria Beckham, 51, “really adored” Kim and thought she made him “happy”. The source said things have “remained friendly” since the break-up a “couple of weeks ago”.

As reported by the outlet, the source went on to say that Romeo and Kim are both “busy” with their respective careers. They added that there lives involve “lots of travelling” at the moment.

The source said: “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.”

Amid rumours of a family 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 said the pair “never dated”.

TMZ however 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.

More recently, Nicola has been blamed for the rumoured tension by some people amid the speculation about the family, though she’s also been defended by others, with a source previously telling the Mirror that she “encourages” her husband Brooklyn to see his family. There’s said to be “distance” between Brooklyn and his parents.
