, the eldest son of and is reportedly at odds with his famous family due to a romantic entanglement that dates back nearly a decade. Insiders suggest that the heart of the issue lies in a love triangle involving Brooklyn and one of his brothers, both of whom have been linked to the same woman.

, 22, was first spotted on romantic outings with model and DJ Kim Turnbull, 24, in the summer of 2024. The pair made their relationship official in November of the same year, frequently gracing red carpets and high-profile events together.

Their relationship has reportedly even received his mum Victoria's seal of approval. The Beckham clan seems smitten with Kim, with one notable exception - Brooklyn, 26. Rumours suggest that a secret past connection between Brooklyn and Kim is the source of the current tension.

In 2016, long before Kim and Romeo became an item, Kim and Brooklyn were often seen enjoying their teenage years in London. When Rocco Ritchie, son of and moved to London, and he quickly became friends with Kim and subsequently introduced her to Brooklyn.

The trio of Brooklyn, Kim and Rocco were once inseparable, often seen together, sparking rumours that Brooklyn and Kim were an item. Their bond seemed to extend beyond their mutual friendship with Madonna's son, as they were frequently seen spending time alone while Rocco was elsewhere.

However, in 2017, it was reported that Kim switched her affections from Brooklyn to Rocco after a breakup. Brooklyn appeared unbothered by this development, maintaining his friendship with the pair and continuing to hang out with them.

But now, with Kim dating his brother, it seems Brooklyn has drawn a line he cannot cross. He was notably absent from David Beckham's star-studded 50th birthday bash at a London restaurant over the weekend.

The guest list included Victoria, Harper Seven, Romeo and his girlfriend Kim, Cruz and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel. The only family members missing were Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz.

Insiders suggest that Brooklyn had previously warned his parents that he would not attend events where Kim was present. Given that David invited Kim despite their alleged romantic history, Brooklyn reportedly decided to skip the event at the last minute.

It is said that Brooklyn even proposed a private celebration with him and Nicola, but the idea was rejected.

A confidant of Brooklyn Beckham spilled the beans to The Sun, revealing: "He flew to London with the sole intention of seeing his family and celebrating his dad's birthday. He suggested going for breakfast or a coffee but was told the only chance to see the family would be at one of their lavish parties which Kim would likely be at, so he refused. As far as he sees it, his parents have chosen Romeo and his new girlfriend over him."

Brooklyn Beckham has once again given a family event a miss due to Kim's attendance. In March, he and his wife were notably absent from Victoria's fashion show in Paris.

Initially chalked up to other commitments, insiders now suggest that Kim's presence was the real reason for his no-show.

The rumour mill is abuzz with speculation that Brooklyn's alleged former fling with Kim is causing friction within the Beckham clan. While some believe Brooklyn is over their past, there are whispers that he doubts Kim's intentions with his brother Romeo.

A source disclosed to TMZ regarding their past relationship, "That's all water under the bridge," but pointed out Brooklyn and Nicola's concerns: "The issue at hand is the couple questions whether Kim has the right intentions in dating Romeo."
