Kim Turnbull has addressed her experience of being in the spotlight in the wake of her split from Romeo Beckham.
Speaking to The Times, the 24-year-old DJ, whose split from David and Victoria's son was announced in early June, spoke about how she deals with rumours and revealed one of the key life lessons she's since picked up.
Asked how she deals with the limelight, Kim said: "It comes with some territory. There are situations that you find yourself in that present you with new aspects, but at the same time, I think it has always been something that I've been around and seen, so I just take it day by day and try to focus on the positives."

But I think what I've learnt, at this point in life, is to try and take it with a pinch of salt."
On attempting to set the record straight, Romeo's ex added: "It's definitely tough, whatever it is, when people are saying things about you that aren't necessarily true and, most importantly in my opinion, don't align with your character and your values. You want to turn around and reply to every comment and have your say in it, but at the end of the day you just can't."

It had been reported that the DJ previously dated Brooklyn when they were teenagers, but this was soon shut down by Victoria and David's youngest son, Cruz, when he wrote on Instagram: "Brooklyn and Kim never dated".

The Beckham family rift

These reports only appeared to escalate earlier this month when Brooklyn, 26, failed to acknowledge Father's Day. While Romeo and Cruz were quick to post family photos, Brooklyn chose not to share a public tribute.
