Who is Kim Turnbull? DJ and model sparks rift between David Beckham's son Brooklyn and Romeo

Kim Turnbull, Romeo Beckham’s girlfriend, causes Beckham family rift as Brooklyn questions her relationship motives.

Kim Turnbull, the 23-year-old model and DJ currently dating Romeo Beckham, has become a central figure in a growing rift within David Beckham’s family. Reports confirm Romeo and Brooklyn Beckham are no longer on speaking terms, with Brooklyn reportedly disapproving of Turnbull’s presence and questioning her intentions.

Turnbull, known for her work with major fashion brands like Miu Miu, Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Fendi, has also made a name for herself as a DJ, performing at venues including Fabric and Ministry of Sound in London. She’s been booked at elite events like Paris Fashion Week and has worked with labels such as Prada and Christian Louboutin.

Her background is rooted in a rich artistic lineage. Her father, Alex Turnbull, is a DJ and co-founder of the influential hip-hop label Ronin Productions. Her grandfather, William Turnbull, was a celebrated sculptor, while grandmother Kim Lim was a prominent Singaporean-British artist.

Turnbull and Romeo Beckham were first linked in November 2024. The pair became Instagram official shortly after Romeo's breakup with photographer Gray Sorrenti. The relationship quickly drew attention after Turnbull accompanied Romeo to Victoria Beckham’s fashion capsule event in New York, meeting his mother just weeks into the romance.

Tensions surfaced when Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz skipped David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations and Victoria’s fashion show, both of which Turnbull attended. Romeo’s social media posts about his family also excluded Brooklyn and Nicola, hinting at the deepening divide. Sources claim Brooklyn holds no ill will toward Romeo but does not approve of Turnbull dating him.

Despite the feud, David and Victoria Beckham reportedly support Romeo’s relationship and trust Turnbull, who now divides her time between fashion shoots and DJ gigs across Europe.
