The 19-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham brought his girlfriend to his mom’s runway show on Friday, September 27. Dressed to impress, Cruz embraced his inner gentleman as he arrived looking dapper in a classic navy blue striped suit, complete with a crisp white shirt and perfectly polished shoes.
As for Jackie, she looked every inch the showstopper in a sleek
white satin gown
that radiated sophistication. She completed her look with a chic black clutch and matching stilettos, while her brunette hair was styled into an elegant up-do that perfectly framed her radiant smile.
The lovebirds weren’t alone, though. Cruz and Jackie were later joined by the entire Beckham clan, who rallied to show their support for Victoria’s latest runway showcase.

Victoria Beckham
.

a fan
exclaimed

Cruz’ girlfriend looks like his mommm [sic],”

One surprised follower even
admitted
,
“Goodness me, I didn’t realize that it wasn’t Victoria until I read the comments[sic].”
But it wasn’t just the look-alike factor that had people talking. Some questioned Jackie’s age, hinting she looked far older than 19-year-old Cruz.
”
She looks 40 years old,”
one comment
read
bluntly. Another user
chimed in
with curiosity, ”
Is she older? 😮”
In fact, one commenter
speculated
that Cruz might have some deep-rooted
“Mommy Issues.”
Others went a step further, suggesting Jackie’s intentions weren’t entirely pure.
“Jackie is using the family for clout,”
someone
claimed
.
One user was baffled by Jackie’s supposed age,
writing
, ”
Cruz’s girlfriend is 18? Same age as my daughter. She’s stunning, but thought she was at least late 20’s.”
Another user couldn’t resist a sarcastic
reply
, ”
Nope, now reading she could be 28? Wonder what she sees in a 19-year-old Cruz? 😆”

Amid the wave of skepticism and critique, a few voices tried to steer the conversation in a more positive direction.
“Beautiful family. I love the Beckhams xx,”
gushed
one fan.

Despite the whirlwind of opinions surrounding her relationship with Cruz, Jackie Apostel seems to be handling the spotlight just fine. The Brazilian-born songstress, who has lived in Germany since childhood, has carved out her own path in the music world.
Now 28, Jackie boasts an impressive repertoire, composing tracks in English, German, French, and Portuguese. Jackie initially made her mark as a member of the
Brazilian girl band
, Schutz, but according to her social media, she’s since branched out as a solo artist.
Her Spotify profile paints a picture of someone who thrives behind the scenes, crafting songs that reflect her eclectic style. Fans are now eagerly awaiting her upcoming single, titled ‘
i’
, a high-energy reggaeton track she’s been holding onto for just the right moment. The much-anticipated release is set to drop on July 1st.
During a 2019 interview with Indie Band Guru, Jackie revealed her fondness for catchy music and mentioned that she wasn’t afraid to embrace the “easy and repetitive” aspects of pop. She further explained that her style is extremely versatile, drawing from rock and Latin influences, and noted that these varied elements are all essential parts of who she is as an artist.
Her passion for music doesn’t stop at songwriting. Jackie is also a producer and frequently shares glimpses of her creative process at the iconic Abbey Road Studios on Instagram. With such diverse influences and a fearless approach to blending genres, it’s clear that Jackie is a multi-talented artist in her own right!
