Romeo Beckham has rekindled his relationship with Kim Turnbull, the 23-year-old son of David and Victoria, announced on Instagram on Tuesday.

The image showed the couple together, with Ms Turnbull, 24, dressed in an oversized hooded jacket, whilst Romeo sported a beanie hat.


The reconciliation arrives six months after their separation in April, which occurred seven months after they first struck up their romance.

Their initial split had been widely attributed to mounting pressures stemming from tensions within the Beckham family, particularly involving Romeo's elder brother, Brooklyn.

The break-up had occurred shortly following dad David's 50th birthday celebrations, with sources claiming the relationship had naturally concluded. Friends maintained that both parties remained cordial despite their separation.

The relationship faced complications due to reported discomfort from Brooklyn's spouse, Nicola Peltz, regarding Ms Turnbull's presence in the family unit.

Insiders claimed the 30-year-old actress harboured unease about Ms Turnbull, stemming from alleged romantic connections between her and Brooklyn during their teenage years.

Photographs from their youth showed Brooklyn, now 26, and Ms Turnbull together, though sources and even Brooklyn's younger brother Cruz publicly maintained their connection never exceeded friendship.

Ms Turnbull found herself at the centre of the family discord, with Ms Peltz allegedly attributing blame to her for catalysing the rift between the brothers.

In June, Ms Turnbull addressed the speculation surrounding her alleged romantic history with Brooklyn through a statement posted on social media. "I've avoided speaking on this topic to prevent adding fuel to the fire," she wrote, explaining her decision to break her silence came from a need to "move on" from the situation.

The model firmly refuted claims of any romantic connection, stating: "I have never been romantically involved in ANY capacity at ANY point with the person in question." She clarified that their interaction was limited to "a school friendship at age 16" and nothing beyond. (sic)

Ms Turnbull expressed frustration about receiving "harassment" and being "embarrassed on the basis of lies, to fit a certain narrative." She concluded by requesting to be "removed from the ongoing conversation" for everyone's benefit.

The Beckham family "feud" has manifested through various public incidents, including Romeo and younger sibling Cruz reportedly blocking Brooklyn and Peltz on Instagram in July, shortly after Brooklyn acknowledged their sister Harper's 14th birthday.

Brooklyn notably remained silent on social media during Romeo's birthday celebrations in September, whilst other family members shared festive posts.

The 26-year-old aspiring chef and his wife excluded all family members from their recent vow renewal ceremony in New York City.

Brooklyn has maintained distance from his relatives, with no documented appearances alongside them since Boxing Day 2024, and has apparently avoided visiting the UK since that date.

Sources suggest Brooklyn is "really focused on living a peaceful, drama-free life" with Peltz, having "built their own world together" in Los Angeles.

Meanwhile, speculation about Romeo and Ms Turnbull's reconciliation emerged when he began interacting with her social media content recently.

The pair were subsequently photographed attending the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Singapore earlier this month.

Romeo further fuelled reunion rumours by responding to Ms Turnbull's holiday photographs with a melting face emoji.

The images showed her in swimwear whilst on a tropical getaway, where she wrote about discovering "the best mangoes I've ever had" and her dream of residing in a jungle dwelling.
