Cruz Beckham’s Girlfriend Shuts Down Critic Over Age Gap

Cruz Beckham’s girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, isn’t here for internet judgment. The 29-year-old model fired back after a commenter labeled her nearly 10-year age difference with Beckham “weird.”

“Why is a 29-year-old dating a 20 [year old]?” the user wrote under Victoria Beckham’s Paris Fashion Week post, where Apostel appeared alongside the Beckham family and Anna Wintour. Apostel didn’t ignore it — she answered cleanly, without venom. “Because he’s kind, funny, smart, caring, driven, mature, talented, loyal, and also quite handsome,” she replied.

The response landed exactly how she meant it: poised, confident, unbothered. Supporters flooded in to back her up. “It’s not weird, it’s called love,” one follower wrote. Another added, “My husband is eight years younger — I highly recommend it.”

Apostel’s Paris Fashion Week appearances have only turned up the heat. She shared photos of herself and Cruz kissing, and others in a sleek, strapless black gown — sculptural neckline, movie-star posture. “What an incredible show,” she captioned one post, tagging Victoria Beckham. “Honoured to witness all of this come to life.”

Another photo caught a quieter scene: Apostel and Cruz brushing their teeth together in formalwear — a snapshot of domestic calm amid couture chaos.

The couple first sparked rumors in June 2024, then made it official that October. Since then, they’ve been comfortable living out loud — a rarity in the Beckham orbit, where privacy usually comes wrapped in public control. But Apostel’s clapback says it all: she’s not asking permission, and she’s not apologizing.
