Cruz Beckham's girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, has slammed an Instagram user for criticizing their age gap. She listed his qualities as a reason for dating him.
Cruz Beckham is the third child of Victoria and David Beckham, after Brooklyn and Romeo. They also have a daughter named Harper, who was born in 2011. Cruz Beckham, meanwhile, was born on February 20, 2005, and is hence 20 years old at the time of writing. His girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, meanwhile, is 29.
On Saturday, October 4, Victoria Beckham shared a picture on her Instagram account of her family supporting her at the unveiling of her Spring-Summer 2026 collection at Paris Fashion Week on Friday. It featured Victoria, David, Cruz, Jackie, and Romeo, along with style icon Anna Wintour. She captioned the post:
"I love you all so much… I couldn’t do it without you.”
One user commented on the post:
“Why is a 29 year old dating a 20 that’s just weird. I’m taking about Jackie dating Cruz.”
As many users replied, Apostel also responded to the comment, writing:
"Because he’s kind, funny, smart, caring, driven, mature, talented, loyal, and also quite handsome.”
Cruz and Jackie were first rumored to be dating after their appearance together in April 2024. They then made it public in July 2024 after they attended the Glastonbury Festival together. They have made multiple public appearances together since then, including Victoria Beckham's previous events.
Jackie Apostel and Cruz Beckham also share posts from Paris Fashion Week
As Victoria Beckham unveiled her Spring-Summer 2026 collection at Paris Fashion Week on October 3, her family and loved ones showed their support. Cruz Beckham shared a carousel post on his Instagram account, including some pictures and videos from his time in Paris for the event. He wrote in the caption:
"Paris fashion day"
Jackie Apostel also shared a carousel post, hailing Victoria's show, as she wrote in the caption:
"what an incredible show and in my favorite dress yet. @victoriabeckham 🧡 honoured to witness all of this come to life."
David Beckham, meanwhile, posted an image of his wife from the show and expressed his pride in her, writing in the caption:
"To say we are proud of you is an understatement, to see you bring this all together once again in the most elegant , professional , technically perfect and militant way is just incredible and you & your team need to realize it's special...
"Its special because the team that you have love and adore you because you treat them the right way and that's called leadership... Congratulations once again you are amazing 🩷 plus you had Knight Rider as the opener WOW @victoriabeckham 🩷"
Meanwhile, David and Victoria's eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, was missing from the event. As per US Weekly, there has been a rift between the rest of the Beckham family and Brooklyn Beckham. This started when the latter married Nicola Peltz in 2022.
Since then, Brooklyn and Nicola haven't attended multiple family events, including David's 50th birthday party in May 2024.
