Romeo Beckham Fires Back at Rumors as Beckham Clan Drama Escalates
Another scroll-stopping Beckham moment just landed, and honestly, it’s a lot. Romeo Beckham, 22, stirred up the internet on June 16 when he posted a poignant still from the 1953 classic Roman Holiday—Audrey Hepburn’s face frozen mid-quote: “What the world needs is a return to sweetness and decency.” His caption? “Be nice to people and don’t tell unnecessary lies.” Cue the receipts: this came mere hours after his ex, British DJ Kim Turnbull, 24, slammed gossip linking her romantically to Romeo’s older brother, Brooklyn Beckham, 26.
Kim took to Instagram Stories to “set the record straight,” insisting she’s “never been romantically involved in ANY capacity” with Brooklyn, beyond a school friendship at age 16. She emphasized she just wants out of “the ongoing conversation” for everyone’s sake. Ouch—talk about a public mic drop. Romeo’s cryptic snap clearly aimed at cutting through the murk of tabloid chatter with a simple reminder: kindness matters, and rumors don’t.
Meanwhile, Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham have been busy calling in the pros to fight off their own wave of “deliberate misinformation.” E! News confirmed they enlisted top UK lawyer Jenny Afi of Schillings earlier this month—not for image control, but “to set the record straight,” per an insider. Apparently when the press goes rogue, you don’t just tweet denial—you lawyer up.
And if you think that’s all the Beckham side-eye in the family, think again. Remember the rumored wedding dress drama at Brooklyn and Nicola’s April 2022 nuptials in Palm Beach? Contrary to rampant claims, Nicola didn’t snub Victoria Beckham’s designs out of bad blood—her team says VB’s atelier simply couldn’t fulfill the couture gown timeline. Nicola later told Variety she “really wanted” to wear Victoria’s custom piece, but Valentino Couture saved the day. Fast-forward to October 2022: on TODAY, VB gushed about her new daughter-in-law, calling Nicola “a wonderful addition” and praising her son’s happiness.
And yet, the tea kept steeping. When Victoria turned 50 this April, she threw a star-studded bash—Tom Cruise, all four Spice Girls, you name it. Nicola was notably absent, explaining on Instagram she chose to honor her late grandmother’s memory instead. No shade, just priorities.
So here we are: a Beckham family soap opera that blends cryptic social media posts, legal letters, and haute couture pivots. Will Romeo’s call for honesty stick? Can Brooklyn and Nicola’s legal squad keep the tabloids in check? Stay tuned, because this saga is far from over. Anyway, that’s the tea. Do with it what you will.
