A source told The Sun: ‘Victoria was a huge fan of Mia and hoped the pair might end up getting married.

Romeo, 21, confirmed on Sunday that he and model Mia, also 21, had split after five years together (Romeo and Mia pictured in December last year)

‘She’s been known to want to create a big celebrity family like the Kardashians.

‘That looks unlikely — for now, anyway.

‘She can’t control what goes on with her kids — as much as she’d like to.’

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Victoria for comment.

Romeo had been dating model Mia, 21, since 2019 and speculation surrounding their relationship mounted last week after he failed to post a Valentine’s Day tribute to her.

It is claimed the couple went their separate ways after an argument, with Mia moving out of the home they shared together.

Footballer Romeo, 21, confirmed their separation on Sunday, writing on Instagram: ‘Mooch and I have parted ways after 5 years of love, we still have a lot of respect for each other, and still hold a strong friendship and always will.’

Sharing a picture of herself with Romeo on her Instagram Stories, Mia wrote: ‘This is an Ro, we have grown up with each other since we were 16!! Love takes different forms & paths as you mature.

Victoria, 49, and Mia were said to have got on very well and she allegedly had hopes Mia would become a firm fixture of the family brand (Victoria and husband David pictured in October last year)

‘We aren’t tougher romantically but we do share lots & lots of love for one another… after 5 years we friendzoned each other.’

News of their split emerged on Saturday, before Romeo and Mia issued their statements.

Mia travelled alone to Italy this week and was seen without Romeo at the Missoni show during Milan Fashion Week on Saturday, just a few hours before news of their split was reported.

An insider told the Mirror: ‘Romeo and Mia had a fallout… they aren’t together at the moment.

‘They were living together, but Mia has apparently moved out of the place they shared and is staying with her parents.

‘They’ve split up in the past and got back together again, but this time it feels more serious – Mia moving out obviously points to it being more than just a tiff.’

They were last seen together at the British Fashion Awards in London in December last year.

Before Sunday, neither of them had posted pictures of each other on their social media pages since.

Romeo sparked rumours he had split from Mia after he didn’t post a social media tribute for Valentine’s Day.

The footballer son of David Beckham has been dating Mia since 2019 – but the pair went on a break in 2022.

However the pair, who usually love to gush over one another on social media, have not posted pictures of each other in recent weeks, prompting fans to ask if they had split up.

Instead of Mia, Romeo spent Valentine’s Day with his mother Victoria.

The fashion designer, 49, was joined by her second eldest child for a meal at Dorian bistro in Notting Hill, west London.

It was also noted that Romeo had been following stunning models on Instagram during the same time period, according to The Sun.

Romeo had moved out of the £31million family London townhouse and into a new apartment with Mia.

Sources said in January that Romeo and Mia wanted their own space – despite the Beckhams’ home boasting six bedrooms and an indoor pool.

Sharing a picture of herself with Romeo on her Instagram Stories, Mia wrote: ‘This is an Ro, we have grown up with each other since we were 16!! Love takes different forms & paths’

The couple showed off their new home in a TikTok video, which Mia captioned: ‘Roomies and I.’

But the departure of Romeo means all three Beckham sons have now moved out, with only Harper, 12, at home to keep Mum and Dad company.

Cruz and Brooklyn both live in LA.

A friend of the Beckhams said at the time: ‘David and Victoria miss them dreadfully. There are jokes that they are almost empty-nesters.’
