Romeo Beckham’s red carpet appearance at the Burberry Fashion Event has sparked attention amidst reports of family drama.
Romeo Beckham, the middle son of football legend David Beckham and designer Victoria Beckham, made a striking appearance at Burberry’s Fall/Winter 2026 runway show during London Fashion Week on February 23, 2026. The 23-year-old model and ‘in a head-to-toe burgundy ensemble,’ according to the text, DJ Kim Turnbull, his girlfriend at the time, attended the event, as did his ex-girlfriend Mia Regan, whom he dated from 2019 to 2024. Romeo walked the runway in a head-to-toe burgundy ensemble, featuring a leather bomber jacket with a fur-trimmed collar, baggy corduroy pants, and a baby pink shirt, accessorized with a plum-colored belt and small diamond hoop earrings. Kim, 25, wore a black trench coat with dark boots and a leather clutch, while Mia opted for a gray high-neck dress paired with a Burberry check clutch and matching heels.
The event unfolded against the backdrop of ongoing family tensions involving Romeo’s older brother, Brooklyn Beckham. Brooklyn, the eldest son of Victoria and David Beckham, had publicly distanced himself from his parents in early 2026, criticizing their perceived interference in his personal life. In an Instagram post, ‘Inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into,’ according to Brooklyn, ‘My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press or manipulation. All we want is peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.’ This marked a stark contrast to his parents’ public support for Romeo’s career, including **Victoria Beckham’s repost of a video of Romeo walking in Willy Chavarria’s Paris Fashion Week presentation in January 2026.
Romeo’s relationship with Kim Turnbull has been marked by public scrutiny. After splitting from Mia in February 2024, Romeo and Kim dated for seven months before parting ways in October 2024. During their separation, rumors circulated about Kim’s alleged romantic involvement with Brooklyn, prompting her to clarify on Instagram: ‘I have never been romantically involved in ANY capacity at ANY point with the person in question. Nothing between us has occurred further than a school friendship at age 16.’ Despite these tensions, the couple was spotted walking hand-in-hand in Paris in October 2024, suggesting a reconciliation.
The Burberry show, which closed London Fashion Week, featured a collection emphasizing wearable street style with bespoke coats in blues and grays. The event’s front row included A-list figures such as Kate Moss and Daisy Edgar-Jones, underscoring its cultural significance. While Romeo’s appearance was a highlight, the event also drew attention to the broader dynamics within the Beckham family, including Brooklyn’s absence from his parents’ 2025 vow renewal ceremony to his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham.
The family’s public rifts reflect deeper issues of legacy and privacy. David and Victoria Beckham, known for their public engagement with their children’s careers, have faced criticism for their perceived lack of support for Brooklyn’s autonomy. Meanwhile, Romeo’s path has been more private, with his fashion choices and relationships often framed as personal rather than political. As the Beckham family continues to navigate these complex relationships, their public personas remain central to both their individual identities and the broader narrative of celebrity influence.
