Jackie Apostel, the girlfriend of Cruz Beckham, pushed back against critics who questioned their nearly ten-year age difference. Some social media users reacted to a post from Victoria Beckham during Paris Fashion Week, asking why a 29-year-old would be dating a 20-year-old. They labeled the situation as “weird,” especially under a photo featuring David Beckham and various fashion designers with their children, Romeo and Harper.
Apostel didn’t hold back in her defense, listing several admirable qualities that make Cruz a great partner. “He is kind, funny, clever, caring, mature, talented, loyal, and extremely handsome,” she stated.
Encouragingly, some followers supported her stance, with comments like, “I think it’s great; I’m wishing the best for both of you,” and another adding, “It’s not strange; it’s called love, and it’s really none of your business.” One commenter noted their own experience with age differences, saying, “My husband is eight years younger than me… I highly recommend it!”
Sparking further connection, Apostel has been sharing their moments from Paris Fashion Week. She recently posted a photo of the couple sharing a passionate kiss, and in another shot, she flaunted a striking strapless black gown.
The two were first linked romantically in June 2024 and have been posting on Instagram since October of that year. Apostel described the show as “incredible” and praised Victoria Beckham for her designs in a heartfelt Instagram caption.
In another post, she shared a sweet behind-the-scenes moment, where they stood together in a bathroom brushing their teeth in their formal attire.
In addition to their affectionate exchanges, Cruz expressed his feelings on Instagram, saying, “I love you,” over a picture of Jackie celebrating her birthday with friends.
Recently, Cruz seemed to be embracing a more mature image, showing off his toned physique during a family holiday in Italy, reflecting on growing up in front of the camera alongside his father, David.
