David and Victoria Beckham’s youngest son Cruz, 19, is reportedly dating 28-year-old musician Jackie Apostel.
Cruz was seen exiting a hotel in Paris alongside Jackie, a singer-songwriter who was previously a member of the Brazilian girl band Schutz. The couple looked pretty casual, and Jackie was wearing a baseball hat, but it was definitely them.
The pair also turned up to support Cruz’s mom’s Victoria Beckham show in Paris, and Jackie even posted a photo of her wearing one of her designs on Instagram.
“The most beautiful show and the most beautiful dress,” she wrote.
The new couple has been linked since June, and though Jackie has over 100,000 followers on Instagram, she’s yet to reach the level of fame where her age is common knowledge.
When the two were hanging out, most fans assumed they were around the same age, but Hello Magazine has reported that two years ago, she introduced herself as 26-year-old in an Instagram post for Schutz, the girl group she exited.
Online people were divided by the potential couple’s age gap.
“At an older age, the difference of a decade starts to make less difference, however, someone around twenty years old will be at a very different stage of development. Bit cringe really,” one claimed.
“A 29-year-old going after a 19-year-old? I would not be happy if it were my son,” someone else wrote.
“The age gap isn’t the problem,” someone else argued.
Someone else called the age gap “yuck.” Another argued that Cruz dating an older woman would give him much-needed “experience,” and one claimed the relationship was just a simple way for the 28-year-old to get her “name out there.”
Cruz is the youngest son of the famous Beckham family. His brother Brooklyn, 25, is married to billionaire heiress Nicola Peltz and his other older brother Romeo, 22, is giving professional soccer playing a crack.
Cruz has also chosen the public life path. He has amassed over 2 million followers on Instagram, is a musician, and has dabbled in modelling.
The 19-year-old’s primary focus is his music career, and he is clearly close with his famous family.
Cruz quite often posts photos of himself hanging out with his brothers, mom and dad, or younger sister Harper.
He also has the word “Posh” tattooed on him in tribute to his mom’s nickname in the Spice Girls.
When he turned 18, both his parents gushed about him. David Beckham said Cruz had the “most amazing energy and the biggest heart,” and Victoria shared on social media that she was “so proud” of the incredible young man he’d become.
