Romeo Beckham penned an emotional tribute to the late Diogo Jota, urging fans to express their love and appreciation following the heartbreaking death of the Premier League footballer and his brother, Andre Felipe.

Romeo, moved by the tragic car crash that took place in Zamora near Spain's north-west border with Portugal, shared a picture of the athlete on Instagram alongside heartbroken emojis.

He posted a poignant message to his elder brother Brooklyn, following rumours of tension between Brooklyn, his wife Nicola Peltz, and the rest of the Beckhams.

With stark honesty, Romeo expressed on Instagram Stories: "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.."

He further advised: "Don't hold back from LOVE OR APPRECIATION for ANYTHING OR ANYONE."

The tragedy struck shortly after Jota wed his childhood sweetheart, Rute Cardoso, who faced the harrowing task of identifying her husband and brother-in-law post-accident.

Piers Morgan joined the chorus of mourners, taking to Twitter to convey his condolences: "Desperately sad news coming out of Spain that Liverpool and Portugal star Diogo Jota, 28, has died, along with his brother, in a car accident in Zamora. He only got married 2 weeks ago. Heart-breaking."

Social media tributes poured in for the late footballer, with Fern Maguire, wife of Harry Maguire, sharing the Premier League's homage and commenting: "Utterly heartbreaking."

David Beckham expressed his sorrow with a heartfelt message over a monochrome photo of the player in action: "Devastating to hear such sad news. Sending love to Diogo and Andre's families," he conveyed.

In contrast, Brooklyn and Nicola raised eyebrows within the Beckham clan by conspicuously missing David's milestone 50th birthday festivities in May, despite flying into London from Los Angeles, opting out of the family's special gatherings.

This absence marked the beginning of a growing rift within the Beckham family, as Brooklyn notably did not reach out to his celebrated father upon the occasion of his much-anticipated knighthood.

The silence continued through Father's Day, with Brooklyn reportedly ceasing communication with his renowned parents and siblings, fuelling speculation about the state of their familial bonds.
