Romeo Beckham's Parisian Escape Amidst Sibling Rift
Romeo Beckham has departed for Paris with his girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, to attend Fashion Week, seemingly unfazed by the ongoing and very public dispute with his older brother, Brooklyn. The 23-year-old model shared a glimpse of their luxurious journey via his Instagram Story on Thursday morning, posting a snap from inside a chauffeured car with his feet comfortably propped up on the seat.
Kim Turnbull, a DJ, was pictured beside him, her feet also visible in the photograph. The image showcased a glamorous designer weekend bag and an outfit carefully hung in a travel bag, hinting at the stylish events ahead. Kim further fuelled speculation about her Fashion Week involvement by sharing a photo of herself entering an artist's room, strongly suggesting she would be walking in the prestigious Chanel show.
Brooklyn's Bombshell Statement Ignites Feud
This Parisian getaway follows a dramatic statement issued by Brooklyn Beckham, 26, on Monday evening. In a social media post, he declared he had no intention of reconciling with his estranged family, delivering a direct blow to his younger brothers. 'Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last Summer,' he wrote, explicitly naming Romeo and 20-year-old Cruz.
While Romeo appears to be brushing off the controversy, his brother Cruz has offered a more subtle, yet pointed, response. The budding singer, who has recently sold out his upcoming London gig, shared the happy news with his followers. However, the accompanying soundtrack was notably the Spice Girls hit, 'Who Do You Think You Are?' – a song widely interpreted as a veiled dig at Brooklyn.
Cruz's Cryptic Musical Message
The lyrics of the chosen track, which warn against the pitfalls of fame and losing one's identity, seem particularly resonant given the current family discord. 'The race is on to get out of the bottom / The top is high so your roots are forgotten,' the song begins, with the chorus repeatedly asking, 'Who do you think you are? / Who, some kind of superstar?' Although Cruz did not directly address Brooklyn in his post, the musical selection appears far from coincidental.
Cruz has remained active on Instagram, promoting his new music and thanking fans for the sold-out shows. In a further subtle gesture, he was spotted 'liking' a social media meme referencing his mother Victoria's alleged song request for Brooklyn's wedding dance – the raunchy R&B classic 'Pony' by Ginuwine.
Parental Silence and Social Media Commentary
Parents Victoria and David Beckham have maintained a public silence regarding their eldest son's allegations. Victoria, 51, simply shared Cruz's sell-out announcement with a 'wow', while David faced media questions at the World Economic Forum in Davos. When directly asked about the family feud, he declined to comment but later spoke broadly about the perils and potential of social media for children.
'I've always spoken about social media and the power of social media for the good and for the bad,' David stated during an interview. 'I've tried to do the same with my children, to educate them. They make mistakes. Children are allowed to make mistakes. That's how they learn.' His comments, while not addressing the specific rift, highlighted the complex backdrop of a very public family disagreement playing out in the digital age.
The feud, which has reportedly been simmering for years, appears to have reached a new intensity this week, isolating Brooklyn from his parents, brothers Romeo and Cruz, and sister Harper. As Romeo enjoys the fashion spotlight in Paris, the underlying family tensions continue to captivate public attention.
