Cruz Beckham’s Girlfriend Jackie Apostel Responds to Criticism Over Their Age Gap

Victoria and David Beckham’s son, Cruz Beckham, has been in a relationship with Jackie Apostel for over a year. Despite their time together, some fans continue to criticize the couple due to the significant age difference between them.

The 30-year-old songwriter and 20-year-old Jackie have been seen together on multiple occasions. Most recently, they joined the Beckham family at Paris Fashion Week to support Victoria’s debut of her Spring-Summer 2026 collection.

Victoria shared a family photo on Instagram featuring Vogue’s former editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, David Beckham, their children Romeo, Cruz, Harper Seven, and Jackie. In the caption, Victoria wrote, “I love you all so much… I couldn’t do it without you! xx.”

However, the post attracted comments from fans questioning Cruz and Jackie’s relationship. One user commented, “Why is a 29 year old dating a 20 that’s just weird. I’m talking about Jackie dating Cruz.”

Jackie Apostel responded to the criticism by writing, “Because he’s kind, funny, smart, caring, driven, mature, talented, loyal, and also quite handsome.”

Cruz and Jackie, who began dating in June 2024, were first publicly seen together at the Glastonbury music festival.
