Victoria Beckham is said to be “devastated” after her son Romeo Beckham split from his long-term love Mia Regan.
Romeo, 21, had been dating the stunning model for five years, since they were both in their teens. But rumours of a break up started swirling last week.
He and Mia both went on to confirm the split in separate posts on Instagram, with the model explaining that they had “friend-zoned” each other. Romeo added that the pair “still hold a strong friendship and always will”.

Mia had got on well with Posh Spice-turned-designer Victoria and a source told The Sun the star had “hoped the pair might end up getting married”. “She’s been known to want to create a big celebrity family like the Kardashians,” said the insider. “That looks unlikely – for now, anyway.”

Romeo announced the split this week, sharing a snap of him and Mia out for a walk as he told fans: “Mooch and I have parted ways after five years of love. We still have a lot of respect for each other, and still hold a strong friendship and always will.”
Mia, 21, also uploaded an image of them together as she said their romance had come to an end. “This is Ro, we have grown up with each other since we were 16!!” she said.

“Love takes different forms & paths as you mature. We aren’t tougher romantically but we do share lots & lots of love for one another… after five years we friendzoned each other heheh.”
A source told The Sun that the end of their relationship was “emotional for both families” as Mia’s family also adored Romeo. “And Mia has always got on really well with Victoria and continues to do so,” they added.
