What Romeo Beckham Is Up to Amid Brooklyn Beckham Family Feud

by

Romeo Beckham is focused on fashion amid his family drama.

Just days after his brother Brooklyn Peltz Beckham publicly discussed a long-running disagreement with their parents, David and Victoria Beckham, Romeo Beckham seemed to be carrying on with his normal life, showing no signs of the family drama affecting him.

Romeo, age 23, arrived in Paris with his girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, on January 22nd for Fashion Week. He wore a casual gray sweatsuit with a green baseball cap and black bag, and kept to himself with his hood up. Kim, 24, matched his low-key style with sunglasses, a gray hoodie, a fuzzy black coat, and jeans.

Although David and Victoria Beckham’s daughter, Harper, 14, has stayed away from the recent public attention, their 20-year-old son, Cruz Beckham, has been making light of the situation on social media.

After his brother accused their mother, Victoria, of dancing inappropriately with him at his 2022 wedding, Cruz publicly reacted by liking an Instagram post that made fun of the allegation.

The post featured a video of former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell performing her song “Not Such An Innocent Girl” from 2001. The caption playfully referred to it as “the wedding dance in question.”

Cruz also showed support for a video that playfully suggested Victoria asked for Ginuwine’s song “Pony” to be played at their mother-son dance.

Okay, so even though he tries to joke about it sometimes, Brooklyn had to say something, and it was HUGE. He released this statement on January 19th, basically saying he felt completely backed into a corner and had no other option but to talk about what his parents did. It’s just… devastating, honestly, but I’m glad he finally spoke up!

Brooklyn publicly shared that her parents have consistently tried to sabotage her relationship, even before her wedding, and that this behavior continues. She stated she has no desire to repair her relationship with them. TopMob News contacted Victoria and David for a response, but they did not reply.

Brooklyn explained, “I’m not letting anyone control me; I’m finally asserting myself.”

To untangle all of the Beckham family drama from the very beginning, keep reading…

While not a strict requirement, many people expected Nicola Peltz Beckham to wear a wedding dress designed by her future mother-in-law, Victoria Beckham, when she married Brooklyn Beckham in April 2022. The wedding took place at the Peltz family estate in Palm Beach, Florida.

So when she didn’t, going with Valentino Couture instead… Bad blood alert!

Nicola kept quiet about the issue for months, but eventually confirmed there wasn’t any major conflict regarding a dress. She did admit she was a little upset she couldn’t wear a custom design by Victoria Beckham.

Nicola told Variety in August 2022 that she had originally planned to wear a dress by this designer and was excited about it. However, a few months later, the designer realized her workshop couldn’t fulfill the order, so Nicola had to choose a different dress. Nicola clarified that the designer never forbade her from wearing the dress, and she never expressed unwillingness to do so. The misunderstanding started there, and the media then exaggerated the situation.

Brooklyn said she’s realized people will always try to be negative or bring others down, but thankfully, everyone on the team gets along well.

Speaking to Grazia the following month, Nicola called the Beckhams “great in-laws.”

Victoria, who rarely speaks about gossip, finally described the Peltz-Beckham wedding as “beautiful.”

You know, as a mom, there’s just nothing better than seeing your child genuinely happy. I shared this on TODAY a while back, and it really sums it up for me – when my son is thriving, that’s all I could ever ask for. It’s the most rewarding feeling in the world!

I was so excited to hear that Tom Cruise attended Victoria Beckham’s fabulous 50th birthday party on April 20th! And even more amazing, all of the other Spice Girls were there too! It was a real reunion. Sadly, though, I read that her daughter-in-law couldn’t make it.

Nicola shared on Instagram that she was visiting her grandmother, who sadly passed away less than a month later.

Nicola couldn’t make it to Victoria Beckham’s birthday party, so she shared a heartfelt message on Instagram. She wrote, “Happy birthday to my beautiful mother-in-law! I’m so sad I can’t be there to celebrate with you and give you a hug. Sending all my love from me and my nanny.” She also posted a birthday message on Victoria’s actual birthday, April 17th, sharing a photo of them together and writing, “I love you so much and love being your dance partner forever.”

Naunni’s death deeply affected Nicola, and many others shared their grief. Brooklyn posted a heartfelt tribute on Instagram, remembering Naunni’s joyful spirit and ability to bring laughter to everyone around her. They expressed how much they missed her and would love her forever, and sadly reflected on the fact that their future children wouldn’t have the chance to know her. They described Naunni as a truly special and irreplaceable person, dearly missed each day.

In a June 2024 interview with InStyle, Brooklyn reflected on his upbringing – growing up with a famous football player father and a Spice Girl mother – and said he felt very happy during his “crazy childhood.”

He admitted things were busy, but said he had amazing parents and really enjoyed himself.

Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz spent some of the 2024 holidays with Nicola’s family, and photos shared by David and Victoria Beckham showed the whole family – including Brooklyn – enjoying time together in the present. It was clear everyone was happily connected right now, without needing to look back or forward for connection.

Victoria shared a series of photos from her holiday gathering, writing, ‘Being with everyone for the holidays fills me with joy! I love you all so much,’ and tagged her children and daughter-in-law.

As a longtime fan, I’ve been following the Beckham family closely, and I noticed something a bit concerning. When David turned 50 in May 2025 and celebrated with family and friends in London, Brooklyn and Nicola weren’t in any of the photos his parents shared. There hasn’t been any official explanation given, which has definitely got people talking!

According to a source at TopMob News, the couple traveled to England, choosing to miss the Met Gala on May 5th, because they wanted to visit David and celebrate his birthday that week or weekend.

According to a source who spoke with People magazine, Brooklyn Beckham decided against going to David’s party because he didn’t want to encounter his brother Romeo’s girlfriend at the time, DJ Kim Turnbull. Turnbull had been attending more and more family events, including the Victoria Beckham fashion show in Paris in March 2025, ever since she and Romeo publicly started dating in November 2024.

When someone on Instagram wondered why Brooklyn Beckham missed his dad’s party, seemingly because he wanted to be with Kim, Brooklyn’s younger brother, Cruz Beckham, quickly responded to clarify that “Brooklyn and Kim never dated.”

TopMob News reported in June 2025 that Romeo and Kim have split up, suggesting a get-together between Romeo and his brother might be a good idea.

The wedding is facing even more drama now that the couple’s first dance didn’t go as planned, and it’s still unknown exactly what happened.

According to a source who spoke with TopMob News in May 2025, Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz expected Marc Anthony to perform their first dance. However, Anthony instead announced Victoria Beckham, leaving Brooklyn feeling awkward and unsure of what to do.

Additionally, the source said Nicola left the room in tears, but she later returned and managed to compose herself to enjoy the rest of her wedding.

While the situation was difficult, it didn’t stop David from being best man at Marc’s wedding to Nadia Ferreira in January 2023. However, it’s easy to see why Nadia might have been more upset by it.

I’ve been following Brooklyn and Nicola’s situation with his family closely, and from what I understand, they’ve genuinely tried to build a relationship over the years. Sadly, it just isn’t working out right now, and things are really strained.

In a May 2025 Instagram post, Brooklyn affectionately called Nicola his “whole world,” expressing his deep love with a message saying he always chooses her and considers her the most amazing person he knows, promising a future together.

When accusations arise, those accused usually hire lawyers. The recent story about Nicola being upset at her wedding three years ago might be a sign of further issues to come.

Okay, so there’s been a lot of talk about Brooklyn and Nicola hiring a lawyer, and some people jumped to conclusions thinking it was about managing their public image – especially since that lawyer has worked with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. But let me tell you, from what I’ve heard, that’s not the case at all. They do have legal representation, but it’s not for anything to do with PR or ‘reputation management.’ It’s something else entirely.

Instead, they’ve brought in Jenny Afi, a lawyer from the U.K. firm Schillings, to correct inaccuracies and fight the spread of false information.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m often asked about connections between public figures, and I want to clarify something I’ve been hearing. Yes, the law firm Schillings does represent the Sussexes, and they actually handled some details for David and Victoria Beckham’s wedding years ago. But let me be clear: there’s absolutely no link between that work and anything Meghan and Harry are currently involved in. Schillings is a well-respected firm that works with many different people, and that’s really all there is to it.

The source pointed out that this situation perfectly illustrates the need for a lawyer – to correct false information and ensure the truth is known.

David received a knighthood in November 2025, but Brooklyn and Nicola didn’t say anything publicly about it. They also weren’t at the MLS Cup final in December 2025 when David’s team, Inter Miami CF, won—only Victoria, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper were there to celebrate.

In late December 2025, after people noticed David and Victoria Beckham weren’t following Brooklyn on Instagram, their son Cruz clarified that his parents hadn’t blocked him on social media.

I was so relieved to see him finally address this! He posted on Instagram that the rumors about his parents unfollowing him are completely false. He explained that his mom and dad would never do that. Apparently, they – and he – woke up to find they’d been blocked by someone, which is what caused all the confusion. It’s good to have the real story out there.

Brooklyn Beckham chose to spend Christmas 2025 with his wife Nicola’s family, including her parents Claudia Heffner Peltz and Nelson Peltz, rather than with his own family. His younger brother, Cruz, stayed home with their parents for the holidays.

David recently shared a look back at 2025 with photos of his year spent with family and friends. Notably absent from the pictures were his oldest son and Nicola, his son’s wife, fueling ongoing speculation about a family disagreement.

An hour later, David posted old photos of himself with each of his and Victoria’s children, captioning a black-and-white picture with Brooklyn, “I love you all so much.”

In January 2026, Brooklyn posted a detailed message on Instagram explaining his difficult relationship with his family.

He stated he doesn’t want to make amends with his family. He explained that he’s asserting his independence and finally prioritizing his own needs, something he hasn’t done before.

In a recent post, Brooklyn accused his parents of manipulating the media to shape the public’s perception of their family. He also claimed they prioritize the “Beckham brand” over everything else and have actively attempted to sabotage his relationship with Nicola.

He mentioned struggling with anxiety during his childhood, but says he now feels peaceful and relieved since creating distance from his family.
