What to Know About Cruz Beckham's Girlfriend, Jackie Apostel

A recent family photo shared by David Beckham has drawn fresh attention to the next generation of the Beckham family. The image features David and Victoria with their children Romeo, Cruz and Harper, alongside their sons’ partners — including Romeo’s girlfriend Kim Turnbull and Jackie Apostel, who is dating Cruz.

The post arrives just days after Cruz’s older brother Brooklyn made headlines with his comments about his relationship with his parents, David and Victoria Beckham. In the statement, he said he no longer wishes to reconcile with them, citing years of private struggles and concerns about media narratives around his family life and his marriage to Nicola Peltz Beckham, the actress and daughter of billionaire investor Nelson Peltz.

Here's what we know about Cruz Beckham's girlfriend, Jackie Apostel.

Who is Jackie Apostel?

Jackie Apostel, 30, was born in São Paulo, Brazil, to a Brazilian mother and a German father, and grew up navigating and absorbing both cultures. She speaks English, Portuguese and German fluently, a reflection of her international upbringing.

Music came early for her: she began playing piano at just two years old, studied poetry and acting, and gravitated naturally toward crafting songs and performing from a young age.

Early on, Apostel was part of the Brazilian girl group Schutz — one of her first formal entries into the music world — though her creative ambitions soon expanded beyond group performance into solo artistry and, eventually, songwriting and producing.

Her debut EP, The Reformation, released in 2020, was acclaimed for its musical depth and emotional insight and surpassed one million streams — a strong indicator of her songwriting ability and artistic range.

What She Does for Work

By 2022, Jackie Apostel made a decisive shift in her career: she publicly announced that she was no longer releasing music as a solo artist, choosing instead to dedicate herself to songwriting and music production. “I’m a studio rat — a creator, a writer, a producer,” she explained in a statement shared with her followers. Her Instagram feed often offers behind-the-scenes glimpses of late-night studio sessions, collaborative work and spontaneous musical moments — including informal duets with Cruz Beckham and others.

How Did Jackie Apostel Meet Cruz Beckham?

The narrative of how Jackie Apostel and Cruz Beckham crossed paths has quickly become a favourite detail among fans. According to Apostel herself, the pair were first introduced through their managers, who arranged for them to work together on music. "We first met when we were put into a studio by our managers to write some songs together,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories. “I was told you had been working on your own project for ages and shifting sounds a bit, finding yourself.”

Their relationship was first publicly noticed in June 2024, when they appeared together at the Glastonbury Music Festival. They didn’t make their romance official on social media until October 2024, when Cruz shared a heartfelt birthday message, writing simply, “I love you.”

Since then, they’ve been seen at fashion weeks, shared affectionate posts on Instagram — including New Year’s moments in Rio de Janeiro — and supported one another’s creative journeys.

Her Relationship with the Beckham Family

Unlike some celebrity relationships that remain distant from family life, Jackie has moderately integrated into the Beckham orbit. She’s attended Victoria Beckham’s fashion shows, often donning pieces from Victoria’s collections and publicly expressing admiration — a gesture that has been warmly acknowledged.

In group photos and celebrations like family birthdays and fashion events, she often appears beside Cruz and members of his family, suggesting a supportive and trusting dynamic that extends beyond the couple’s romantic life.

After Sir David's Knighthood in November, Jackie shared a heartfelt post to the Beckhams on Instagram. "There’s nothing quite as beautiful as seeing deserving and truly GOOD people achieve their dreams. what an inspiration to everyone to always keep going and never lose your character, drive but also kindness. no matter how crazy a dream is or how long it could take. I am repeating myself but to me, the most inspiring thing to see is how you both support each others ambitions. You’re dedicated not only to yourselves reaching your maximum potential but also, each other. and you celebrate each win as if it was your own. you master the balance between that and just plain love and family time every day, and there’s nothing more aspirational than that. congratulations on yet another unbelievable and well deserved milestone @davidbeckham , @victoriabeckham and the whole family 🧡" she shared.

What is the Age Gap Between Jackie Apostel and Cruz Beckham?

A noticeable point of public discussion has been the ten-year age gap between Jackie, 30, and Cruz, who's 20. Apostel herself has addressed this, not by deflecting it, but by highlighting Cruz’s qualities — his kindness, intelligence, loyalty and creativity.

While social media reactions vary, the couple’s public posts often emphasise mutual respect and shared interests — particularly music — rather than external commentary.
