Accused of being the bone of contention between the brothers, Romeo Beckham's ex-girlfriend explains everything

Kim Turnbull and the Beckham family

Kim Turnbull has finally decided to speak publicly about a rumor that has been following her for a long time: her alleged affair with Brooklyn Beckham, which was rumored to be the reason why the latter and Romeo Beckham were no longer speaking.

In an Instagram post, the famous model categorically denied ever being involved with the eldest son of the Beckham family, calling the entire situation untrue and harmful.

“I have avoided talking about this topic to avoid adding fuel to the fire,” Kim writes, “but the time has come for me to speak out because I want to move forward.”

In her statement, she was clear and blunt:

"I was never involved in any form of romance with the person in question. Everything between us was just a school friendship, when we were 16 years old."

Kim's statement comes just days after the news that she and Romeo Beckham have split after less than a year of dating. And while the split has caused quite a stir online, she says she no longer intends to tolerate attacks or judgments based on "lies that fit a certain narrative."

"I don't want to be part of this conversation anymore. I want to close this chapter for my own good and for everyone involved."

The news of their separation came at a turbulent time for the Beckham family, as Romeo and Brooklyn have not spoken for months, since the beginning of Romeo's relationship with Kim, which Brooklyn "didn't look favorably upon."

Tensions became even more apparent in May, when Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz, were absent from David Beckham's 50th birthday party.

Sources close to the family say that the couple had asked to meet separately with their parents to resolve misunderstandings, but were refused: either come to the big party, or not at all.
