Former midfielder David Beckham and his wife Victoria are said to be confused and not knowing what to do when their eldest son Brooklyn and second son Romeo have a rift.

The Becks family is once again embroiled in internal conflict rumors. This time, the focus is on two brothers, Romeo, 22, and Brooklyn, 26. They are said to be “staying away” from each other because of Kim Turnbull – Romeo’s girlfriend. Woman’s Day newspaper said that this conflict is causing Becks and Vic a headache, especially when Vic has just overcome the tension with her daughter-in-law Nicola.

“Victoria and David are very confused and don’t know what to do. The whole family has been caught up in a simmering war between Brooklyn and Romeo since Brooklyn and Nicola had a big fight with Victoria. Romeo is very angry with his brother and thinks he has changed since Nicola came along. Brooklyn believes his brother is deliberately trying to provoke him, causing the situation with Kim to explode. Things are getting awkward because Romeo thinks Brooklyn has no right to comment on his choice of partner after his brother let his wife fight with their mother,” the source said.

In addition, the fact that Victoria is eyeing Romeo as the heir to her $129 million fashion empire has added to the tension between the two brothers, which has made Brooklyn feel uncomfortable, Woman’s Day said .

A source close to the matter said: “Victoria has big plans for Romeo. She sees modelling potential in him and is looking to get him into one of the prestigious courses at Central Saint Martins or Parson’s in New York. She is thrilled with Romeo’s success on the catwalk, but the same cannot be said for her other children.”

The Becks family was full at Victoria’s 50th birthday last April.

The absence was even more noticeable when no one in the family mentioned the couple. Meanwhile, Romeo posted a family photo without Brooklyn and Nicola at his father’s birthday party with the caption: “Family is everything”. However, the 2002-born boy did not tag his brother Brooklyn or sister-in-law Nicola. According to TMZ

, the cause of the conflict stems from Romeo’s new girlfriend, 25-year-old model and DJ Kim Turnbull. Kim was close to Brooklyn in 2016, although Cruz Beckham denied they were dating. According to some sources, the relationship between the two brothers began to deteriorate in December 2024, a month after Romeo and Kim went public with their relationship. Brooklyn was reportedly unhappy with Kim dating Romeo, despite her parents’ approval. TMZ reported that Brooklyn and Nicola were unlikely to appear at family events with Kim. The couple also did not attend their mother’s fashion collection launch at Paris Fashion Week in early March. When the eldest son Brooklyn and his wife had a series of posts celebrating their third wedding anniversary on April 10, the Becks couple remained silent , not publicly congratulating or interacting with their two children on social media. Three years ago, the Becks family was also rumored to have broken up after Brooklyn’s wedding because of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship.
