Romeo Beckham, the second son of English football legend David Beckham and Victoria, has sparked speculation with a series of photos posted online, amid rumors about tensions within the family.

Romeo shared an Instagram story featuring a photo of himself standing on a sidewalk alongside the caption "live the present" written in orange last Friday.

The day before, Romeo posted a black-and-white photo with his father David and younger brother Cruz as they suited up for David's 50th birthday celebration, without his older brother Brooklyn.

He added a white heart emoji to the caption. The photo follows a previous post by Victoria Beckham, who had shared moments from the birthday celebrations.

Earlier in the week, Romeo also caught attention with a photo highlighting his finger tattoos, which spell out the word "love." The post was shared during his trip to Paris, where he watched his favorite team, Arsenal, compete in the Champions League semifinals. Daily Mail suggested that the post is Romeo's subtle message about prioritizing love amid growing public scrutiny.

Tensions within the Beckham family have intensified after the eldest son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz were notably absent from all events surrounding David's birthday. The situation is believed to be linked to a rumored fallout between Brooklyn and Romeo, centered around Romeo's girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, who was once rumored to have briefly dated Brooklyn. He doubts Kim's motive for approaching his younger brother while his parents support Romeo and Kim's relationship.

Brooklyn reportedly felt uneasy about attending celebrations where Kim would be present. According to TMZ, he and Nicola flew to the U.K. and requested a private meeting with the family but were told the only opportunity to meet would be at events that included Kim. Feeling sidelined, Brooklyn is said to have opted out of the celebrations.

A source close to the Beckhams told The Sun that Kim is being unfairly blamed. They claim Nicola used Kim's past connection to Brooklyn as a reason to avoid family involvement, fueling the rift.

Despite the speculation, the Beckham family have remained silent publicly. Each member has continued to promote personal businesses on social media, seemingly ignoring the rumors.
