Kim Turnbull, the girlfriend of Romeo Beckham, made a strong appearance at a Maison Crivelli event in London on Wednesday, putting on a brave face despite the ongoing drama involving her boyfriend’s family.
Amid rumors of a family feud, she looked upbeat as she attended the event solo, possibly to take her mind off the brewing tensions surrounding the Beckham family.
The Beckham Family Feud Heats Up
Things have been tense within the Beckham family, particularly between Brooklyn Beckham and his wife, Nicola Peltz, and the rest of the family.
The feud intensified after Brooklyn and Nicola notably skipped out on all of David Beckham’s celebrations for his 50th birthday last week.
It was revealed that Kim has found herself in the middle of the storm, with reports suggesting that she’s been unfairly made the “scapegoat” for the ongoing family rift.
Despite this, Kim and Romeo have remained united and have shown solidarity with the rest of the Beckham clan.
The Fishing Trip and Nicola’s Reaction
The family drama took an interesting turn when David Beckham shared a post on Instagram, showing that he had taken his sons, Romeo and Cruz, on a fishing trip in the Scottish Highlands.
However, Brooklyn was noticeably absent from the outing.
According to sources close to the situation, Nicola must have been taken aback by the timing of David’s post, which only fueled the ongoing tensions.
Nicola reportedly wasn’t pleased to see her husband’s absence from the trip, especially after hearing a story about how the absence was being blamed on Kim.
Sources suggested that Nicola has grown increasingly frustrated with the situation and has been pointing fingers at Kim, blaming her for much of the drama that has ensued.
Nicola’s Role in the Feud
Reports suggest that tensions between Nicola and the Beckham family have been simmering for years, dating back to Brooklyn and Nicola’s lavish wedding in Palm Beach, Florida, in April 2022.
Sources familiar with the situation claim that many people involved in the wedding were upset by Nicola’s behavior, including her cold treatment of Victoria Beckham, her mother-in-law, and other family members.
One source explained, “Some felt that Nicola was absolutely foul in the run-up to the wedding and on the day itself.
The tension was thick, and it’s only gotten worse since.”
The events leading up to the wedding seem to have created a lasting rift, which has now been magnified by Nicola’s public statements and actions.
Nicola’s PR Move Amid Drama
In an attempt to manage the ongoing public fallout, Nicola has reportedly hired a Los Angeles-based PR firm, Imprint PR, to handle the crisis.
The firm is known for representing high-profile clients, including Brooklyn Beckham.
It seems that both Nicola and Brooklyn are trying to shape the narrative surrounding their side of the story.
However, their efforts have irked the Beckham family, especially after TMZ published stories suggesting Brooklyn and Romeo were no longer speaking due to Kim’s involvement in their relationship.
A source close to the Beckhams dismissed these reports as “silly” and “unfair,” adding that Kim, who only started dating Romeo in November, should not be blamed for the rift that has been ongoing for much longer.
The Absence from Key Events
As the Beckham family continues to navigate these complicated dynamics, Brooklyn and Nicola’s absence from several key family events only added to the tension.
They missed out on David’s big birthday celebrations, including a dinner at their £10million Cotswolds home and a luxurious lunch at David’s favorite vineyard in Bordeaux.
They also skipped a star-studded dinner at a restaurant in Notting Hill, which was attended by A-list celebrities like Tom Cruise and Eva Longoria.
Meanwhile, Romeo and Kim joined the rest of the family at these events, showing that they are very much involved in the Beckham’s social circle.
The lack of attendance by Brooklyn and Nicola, especially during such milestone events, has raised eyebrows and further strained relations.
The Met Gala Drama
Things took another turn when Brooklyn and Nicola also chose to skip the highly anticipated Met Gala in New York, which many saw as a missed opportunity to repair their public image.
It’s been suggested that Nicola’s behavior, including a “hissy fit,” might have been the reason they stayed home, but those close to the couple deny these claims.
Despite their absence from major events, Nicola and Brooklyn continue to maintain a narrative that they are the innocent parties in the family drama.
However, many believe that their attempts to control the narrative through PR efforts are only deepening the divide.
Ongoing Strain for the Beckhams
For David and Victoria Beckham, the situation is becoming increasingly painful.
Sources close to the family explain how heartbreaking it has been to watch the rift between their son and the rest of the family grow.
“They have been so loving and supportive towards Brooklyn,” a friend shared.
“To have this drama drag on is incredibly upsetting for them.”
As the story continues to unfold, many are wondering if the Beckhams will be able to heal the rift, or if the feud between Brooklyn and Nicola will continue to strain the family’s relationships for years to come.
