On October 3, 2025, fashion designer Victoria Beckham debuted her Spring-Summer 2026 collection at Paris Fashion Week. The event was attended by her family, including husband David Beckham and three of their children: Cruz, Romeo, and Harper. To celebrate the show of support, Victoria shared a photo of the family on Instagram, which then received a comment about the nearly 10-year age gap between Cruz, 20, and his 29-year-old girlfriend, Jackie Apostel.
The commenter questioned the relationship, calling it "weird." However, Apostel quickly responded, defending Cruz and their relationship. She stated that he is "kind, funny, smart, caring, driven, mature, talented, and loyal," as well as "quite handsome." Apostel also reposted Victoria's photo on her own Instagram Stories, along with a shot of herself and Cruz brushing their teeth.
The couple, who were first spotted together at Glastonbury Music Festival in June 2024, have been publicly sharing their relationship on social media. Cruz made their relationship Instagram official in October 2024 by posting a birthday tribute to Apostel. The only member of the Beckham family absent from the Paris Fashion Week showcase was the couple's eldest son, Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, and his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham.
