Mum Victoria's 'concern' over age-gap girlfriend and cheating claims

Cruz, the youngest son of David and Victoria Beckham, has been sighted out in public once more with his older girlfriend, suggesting that things are going well for him.

Since June, Cruz Beckham, 19, has been seeing Jackie Apostel, 29, a Brazilian singer and songwriter. Over the weekend, the two were spotted in Miami looking really content together. Cruz has dated well-known singers before, though.

The singer and his songwriter girlfriend Jackie Apostel have been setting tongues wagging because of their 10-year-age gap, but it would seem that age is just a number. The two have been pictured cosying up together and sharing a few PDA moments while enjoying the Florida sunshine.

The couple had been watching Inter Miami play the New England Revolution at the Chase Stadium, in support of Cruz's dad, who owns the football club, alongside his sister Harper and his mum Victoria. The sighting of the loved up pair comes just a couple of weeks after Paris Fashion Week when Jackie sported one of Victoria Becham's designs to her catwalk show.

Following the show, Jackie posted on Instagram: "The most beautiful show and the most beautiful dress. Congratulations @victoriabeckham." The couple appear to be head over heels with Cruz openly telling Jackie he loved to celebrate her 29th birthday earlier this month when he posted: "Happy Birthday xx I love you."

However, according to reports, Victoria is not happy about the huge age gap between them and is hoping their romance is just a fling. A source said: "She and David both think that the whole Mrs Robinson romance will blow over, so they are going to do absolutely nothing apart from keeping them both close and being nice to them."

Another source told OK!: "Although Victoria is pleased that Cruz seems happy in his relationship, she does have some concerns about the age gap and whether her youngest son is ready for that kind of commitment," the source said. "She really likes Jackie, and Jackie seems to get on with all the family but Victoria would be lying if she said that her being 10 years older than Cruz isn't a worry. Cruz is still a teenager whereas Jackie is a fully grown woman who is at a different stage in her life and may want things that Cruz is not quite ready for."

That said the couple are believed to be smitten after starting dating in June when they were spotted publicly together at Glastonbury. And it's not the first time Cruz has dated a fellow singer - in fact it would appear that Cruz has a bit of a thing for fellow musicians.

Cruz and Jackie first started dating following the break up of Cruz's relationship with Norwegian music artist Viktoria Reitan, known as Bby. However, he was accused of cheating on her after the singer posted a video to TikTok. The video showed the former couple kissing, while Cruz played guitar. She wrote alongside the video: "This is how we were together and he still cheated."

Talking about her latest single, The Breakup, released on October 25, the 21-year-old revealed to fans that the song was inspired by a recent relationship in which she “woke up one day and saw photos of him with some other girl”. The lyrics include: "'Cause now you're with her, you're taking her places, and I'm at the bar seeing different faces...hoping sometime you'll realise baby you skipped over the breakup"

The video was then reshared by another romantic interest, Issey Moloney, who he had been linked to prior to his relationship with Bby Ivy. Cruz has also been linked to actress and dancer Skye Ladell, and Tana Holding, 19, who he split from in October 2023.

But could it be the real thing this time? His current squeeze, Jackie, was previously part of the Brazilian girl band Schutz, the musician gained more than one million plays on her first EP – Reformation a side – and now makes a living through songwriting.
