Cruz Beckham’s girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, replied to a social media comment that called their relationship “weird.”
Apostel, 29, was in attendance with the 20-year-old singer-songwriter on Friday, October 3, when his mom, Victoria Beckham, unveiled her Spring-Summer 2026 collection at Paris Fashion Week. Victoria, 51, later shared a stylish photo via Instagram of her husband David Beckham, daughter Harper, sons Romeo and Cruz and Apostel seated with style icon Anna Wintour at her show.
“I love you all so much… I couldn’t do it without you,” she wrote to her family.
One follower replied, “Why is a 29 year old dating a 20 that’s just weird. I’m taking about Jackie dating Cruz.”
Cruz Beckham caught a stray in Lena Dunham’s new Netflix series, Too Much. On the second episode of the show, which was released Thursday, July, 10, Boss (Leo Reich) chats with Jessica (Megan Stalter) at the London ad agency where they both work. “I’m making a playlist for my friend,” he says. “She just got […]
Many came to the defense of the couple before Apostel offered a direct explanation for why she was with a younger man.
“Because he’s kind, funny, smart, caring, driven, mature, talented, loyal, and also quite handsome,” Apostel replied.
Apostel shared her own photos from her week in Paris via Instagram, including thanking Victoria for including her.
“What an incredible show and in my favorite dress yet. @victoriabeckham 🧡 honoured to witness all of this come to life,” she wrote to Victoria.

Alongside a second carousel of photos from Paris Fashion Week — including a few of her kissing Cruz — she added: “And 24 hours of 🇫🇷🥖”
Victoria returned the compliment by writing that Apostel looked “so pretty” in her Paris Fashion Week photos.
Cruz and Apostel were first spotted together in April 2024, before going public by attending the Glastonbury Festival together in Pilton, Somerset, England, that July. The couple attended Victoria’s Paris Fashion Week show in October 2024 as well, where they sat in the front row with David, Brooklyn, Romeo and Harper.
Meanwhile, Cruz recently weighed in on tension within his family before David and Victoria were absent at their son Brooklyn’s vow renewal to his wife, Nicola Peltz, in August. Cruz seemingly took a shot at Brooklyn’s career aspirations in a June video where he was playing his song “For Ya Love.”
A commenter jokingly replied: “Are you going to stick with this job or going to become a race car driver next or something?”
“Wrong brother mate,” Cruz clapped back.
No in-law drama in sight. Nicola Peltz Beckham has been honest about her relationship with mother-in-law Victoria Beckham, despite rumors that the pair don’t get along. The Bates Motel actress thinks that speculation of a feud began when she wore a Valentino Haute Couture for her April 2022 wedding to Brooklyn Beckham, rather than one […]
The joke was seemingly in reference to Brooklyn’s various career pursuits, including photography, cooking and race car driving.
Us Weekly exclusively reported that tension within the family came to a head in May when Brooklyn and his wife chose not to attend David’s 50th birthday party. A source told Us that David and Victoria had gone from “being sad and devastated to now accepting it and realizing there is nothing they can do” to resolve their issues with Brooklyn right now.
“They are done speaking about it,” the source insisted in June. “They view it as the way it is now. The ball is in Brooklyn’s court if he wants to make up.”
While the Beckhams have largely remained tight-lipped about a reported rift in the family, Brooklyn made a rare comment while speaking with the press at the Ryder Cup Celebrity All-Star Match in September.
David Beckham celebrated his milestone 50th birthday with a star-studded bash in London, although it seems his son Brooklyn Peltz Beckham reportedly did not attend amid alleged family drama. David marked the festive occasion with a Saturday, May 3, party at London’s Core restaurant, where he was joined by wife Victoria Beckham and their children […]
“Everyone is always going to say rubbish,” Brooklyn told the Daily Mail. “I just try and do this, play some golf with some friends. It’s good fun.”
Asked how he dealt with speculation about the Beckham clan, Brooklyn replied: “There’s always going to be people saying negative things but I have a very supportive wife.”
“Me and her, we just do our thing. We just keep our heads down and work. And we’re happy,” he added.
