Romeo Beckham is sharing a poignant message about love amid rumored tension within the Beckham family.
Romeo, 22, mourned the death of Portuguese soccer star Diogo Jota via his Instagram Story on Thursday, July 3, resharing a picture of the Liverpool forward and adding four broken heart emojis. (Jota and his brother André Silva died in a car crash in Spain in the early hours of Thursday morning. He was 28.)
In a subsequent post, Romeo ruminated, “Life is too short, love who you love and tell them how much you really do!”
“Life can flash before your eyes at any moment! But the people that truly love you and care for you will always be there…. Don’t hold back from LOVE OR APPRECIATION for ANYTHING OR ANYONE,” he continued.
Beckham Family Drama Through the Years: Feuds, Rumored Affair and More
Romeo’s message follows reports of a rift between the wider Beckham family and his brother, Brooklyn, 26, and Brooklyn’s wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, 30.
Brooklyn and Nicola didn’t take part in dad David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations in early May, and a source told Us Weekly that the couple have “not been in touch” with his parents since.
“There hasn’t been any sort of resolution from either side,” the source told Us, noting that David and wife Victoria Beckham have also not reached out to Brooklyn and Nicola.
A second source told Us in May that there is lingering “bad blood” between Nicola and Victoria, 51, stemming from Brooklyn and Nicola’s wedding in April 2022.
“Things never really got smoothed over, and you can tell it still affects everyone,” the insider said. “The tension is still present and it’s hard for Brooklyn at times. Brooklyn’s having a tough time with it. He’s super stubborn and just wants space from his family right now.”

Neither Brooklyn and Nicola nor David and Victoria have publicly addressed the feud rumors.
On Friday, July 4, David did, however, mention his eldest son in a sweet tribute to wife Victoria to mark their 26th wedding anniversary. “26 years today you said YES to me 
Happy Anniversary and thank you for giving me our beautiful children and building the life that we have together I love you Lady Beckham,” David wrote alongside a series of throwback photos of him and Victoria. He tagged Brooklyn, Romeo and their brother Cruz, 20, in the post and used a hashtag for daughter Harper, 13, who is not on Instagram.
