Public Appearance and Defense

Cruz and Jackie have been an item since they were seen together at the Glastonbury Festival in Pilton, Somerset, England, back in July 2024. Earlier that year, they made headlines when first seen together in April.

While some critics took issue with the couple’s age difference, Jackie defended their relationship on social media in October 2025. On a family photo shared by Victoria, a follower questioned the couple’s age gap, prompting numerous supporters to rally behind them.

“Because he’s kind, funny, smart, caring, driven, mature, talented, loyal, and also quite handsome,” Apostel replied to the critics.

Beckham Family Feud

Victoria’s birthday tribute to Apostel comes amidst a rocky period within the Beckham clan. The couple remains estranged from their eldest son, Brooklyn, and his wife, Nicola Peltz, especially after Brooklyn and Nicola skipped David’s 50th birthday party in May.

According to a source, David and Victoria have moved from initial sadness to acceptance of the situation.

“They are done speaking about it,” the source said in June. “They view it as the way it is now. The ball is in Brooklyn’s court if he wants to make up.”

Despite the tension, Brooklyn spoke about the issue publicly for the first time in September, while talking to the Daily Mail.

“Everyone is always going to say rubbish,” Brooklyn commented. “I just try and do this, play some golf with some friends. It’s good fun.”

When asked about handling the ongoing media attention, Brooklyn remarked on his support network.

“There’s always going to be people saying negative things but I have a very supportive wife,” he added.
