But yesterday Kim - whose romance with Romeo fizzled out shortly after his dad David's 50th birthday celebrations - insisted she and Brooklyn had never been more than friends.
Now Romeo appears to have hit back. He took to Instagram to share a scene from the 1953 film Roman Holiday, showing the moment Audrey Hepburn's character says: 'What the world needs is a return to sweetness and decency.'
He captioned his upload: 'Be nice and don't tell unnecessary lies.'
Speaking in her statement yesterday, Kim wrote: "I've avoided speaking on this topic to prevent adding fuel to the fire, however it's come to a point where I feel the need to address it so I can move on."
The model and DJ said she was being unfairly targeted by trolls and abuse since the famous family fell out.
She continued: "I will not continue to receive harassment or be embarrassed on the basis of lies, to fit a certain narrative."
Kim then clarified: "I have never been romantically involved in ANY capacity at ANY point with the person in question.
"Nothing between us has occurred further than a school friendship at age 16.
"I would like to remove myself from the ongoing conversation and set the record straight for the sake of everyone involved.
It comes after reports that Kim has been made the "scapegoat" in the Brooklyn feud.
Earlier this month it was revealed that Romeo and Kim had split up after seven months together.
The pair's romance "fizzled out" shortly after Romeo's dad David's star-studded 50th birthday party last month.
A friend of the pair told the Mail: " Romeo and Kim are both young and they had a lovely time together but at that age things don't always last forever and they decided to split up.
"They have been friendly since and have even been at the same venues.
"It's a huge shame, particularly as David and Victoria really adored her and thought she made Romeo happy but it wasn't to be.
"It happened a couple of weeks ago and relations have remained friendly between them."

The Britain's Got Talent judge, 54, is currently on a sun-soaked Greece getaway with her best pal and Italian Job co-host Alan Carr. Taking to her Instagram on Wednesday, the mum-of-two turned up the heat in a SKIMS tiger print kaftan, worth a whopping £242. She teamed it on top of a matching £200 swimsuit and added inches to her frame with a pair of black heels. The beauty caught the eye in the sexy outfit as she gave a glimpse of her sizzling figure while posing up a storm in front of a stunning ocean backdrop. Amanda rounded off the slew of racy snaps with a sweet photo of Alan, as they enjoyed a drink by the pool. Amanda Holden shared a very cheeky snap of herself flashing her bottom in a windswept kaftan as she posed for a series of poolside snaps on Instagram on Wednesday It comes just days after Amanda put on a leggy display as she showcased her incredible figure on a boat. The star could be seen soaking up the sun in a flattering teal bikini in a snap shared on Monday. Wearing her wet hair back, the star accessorised with a pair of large black sunglasses as she posed on the front railing of a boat. She captioned the picture: 'Wearing @isabellemeiraswim.' Fans of the radio presenter were quick to praise her bikini snap, with the swimwear designer praising: 'Looking incredible as ever. Hope you're having a fabulous trip!'; 'I hope this is one of your outfits on the next series of BGT.'; 'You look awesome in a bikini xx.' Amanda recently struck a similar pose in the orange wrap-around bikini, this time accessorising with a straw hat and sunglasses. She could be seen relaxing outside a villa and again lounging by an infinity pool and wrote 'soaking it all up'. Opening up about how she stays in shape to Cosmopolitan, Amanda said: 'I have to run for my rosé wine in the summer and run for my red wine in winter. 'And I don't do it because I feel I have to; I do it for my own discipline and dignity.' Amanda also credited running for helping to clear her head. However, despite being so slim, Amanda stressed that she does not diet. Instead, she credits her flat stomach to a specific kind of yoga. She told the Express: 'I love Kundalini yoga. I just think it's really good for breath control. 'It's really good for sort of getting out any stress or tension." 'It's sort of a powerful empowering yoga, it's not the sort of yoga that everybody enjoys or loves. 'But for me, I feel really powerful and centred after - all of that sounds really cheesy, but that's how I feel.'

Theatre school founder and ‘true visionary' Sylvia Young dies aged 86
Sylvia Young – the founder of a theatre school which taught the likes of singer Amy Winehouse, EastEnders actor Adam Woodyatt and James Bond star Lashana Lynch – has been hailed as a 'true visionary' after she died aged 86. Her daughters Alison and Frances Ruffelle said it was with 'great sadness' that they confirmed the death of their mother – who 'passed away peacefully' on Wednesday, in a statement posted on the Sylvia Young Agency Instagram account. Their statement read: 'Our mum was a true visionary, she gave young people from all walks of life the chance to pursue their performing arts skills to the highest standard. 'Her rare ability to recognise raw talent and encourage all her students contributed to the richness of today's theatre and music world, even winning herself an Olivier Award along the way. 'She believed hard work with a bit of luck brought success, and she was an example of that herself. She leaves as her legacy a wealth of brilliant performers, a thriving school bearing her name, and a priceless place in the nation's heart.' The Sylvia Young Theatre School, which was established in 1972 offering full-time and part-time courses, produced a wide range of stars from singers such as Dua Lipa and Rita Ora, to actors such as Doctor Who's Billie Piper and Nosferatu's Nicholas Hoult. Young's daughters added: 'Above all she leaves the memory of an East End girl who worked hard to achieve her goals, took hold of life, and lived it to the full. 'Her family were everything to her, her wonderful husband, our dad, Norman and her grandchildren Eliza, Nat, Felix and Coral plus her great grandson Rex. 'We share her love with her wide and inclusive family, her friends, her students. You all meant the world to her. 'We will miss her so very much.' McFly star Tom Fletcher met his wife, podcaster and presenter Giovanna Fletcher, at the school, which they attended from the age of 13, with Young attending their wedding. In a tribute, Giovanna posted on Instagram: 'My life would not be what it is without Sylvia Young. 'I remember watching Sylvia on Live And Kicking when I was 12 years old, she was talking about her school and all the fun they had there. 'I phoned up for a brochure and applied for a scholarship without telling my mum and dad, I didn't get the scholarship, but I got a place with a 'deal' attached because Sylvia wanted me there – something I quickly learned the majority of the 140 students had.' She continued: 'I loved sitting in Sylvia's office and watching her work. 'She was meticulous, she knew what every child was up to and how to get the best out of everyone, she was devoted to helping her kids and I know how much she cared for each of us. Sometimes she cared when others didn't – helping some incredible talent flourish in the process. 'No-one ever wanted to upset Sylvia and that's not because she would get angry and shout, quite the opposite, Sylvia's disapproval was enough – because we all knew how lucky we were to be at that school, doing what we loved. We all wanted to impress her, and that never stopped.' In a comment on Young's daughters' social media post, actress Bonnie Langford added: 'Such sad news, Sylvia was such an inspiring, kind and generous person. 'She made a difference to so many and will be missed by so many, love to all the family and all those who she made feel were her family. Heartfelt condolences to you Frances and Alison and to Stephen and all the team.' Radio presenter Tony Blackburn, who was a friend of Young, also paid tribute in a post on X. He said: 'So sorry to hear Sylvia Young has passed away, she founded the Sylvia Young Theatre School which has been responsible for starting so many careers in TV and Theatre. 'She was a very lovely lady who I have had the privilege of knowing for many years. She will be sadly missed.' Young was the subject of an episode of This Is Your Life in 1998, and was appointed an Officer Of The Order Of The British Empire (OBE) in 2005 for her services to the arts. She married Norman Ruffelle in London in 1961, and is the grandmother of singer Eliza Doolittle.
