A Unique Connection
Cruz Beckham and Jackie Apostel first met in 2024, and from the very beginning, they both felt that their connection was something special. Since then, the couple has been dating, with Apostel finally opening up about how they first came together. The German-Brazilian songwriter, who is 30 years old, shared details with fans about their initial meeting, highlighting how their mutual love for music played a key role in bringing them together.
Beckham, who is 21 years old, has been pursuing his own music career with his band The Breakers. This shared passion for music was the foundation of their relationship. During a social media Q&A, Apostel explained how they met: “We got put in a writing session, and both were so obsessed with what we were doing. Music became really good friends, and then here we are.”
Their first date was a topic of discussion, with Apostel and Beckham debating whether a long studio session could be considered a proper date. “Me and Cruz went to the studio, and we sat there until 3am, but he didn’t even kiss me,” she said. Beckham, who was off-camera, responded with a nervous laugh.
First Date and Beyond
Despite not being a traditional first date, Apostel and Beckham continued to spend time together the following day. “To be fair, we knew it felt different from other sessions,” she said. “Then the next day we went to a rooftop cinema with my friend Stella, who third-wheeled us, and that was our first real date.”
The couple was first spotted together at Glastonbury in June 2024, and by September, they were photographed together throughout Paris Fashion Week. Their relationship became official on Instagram when Beckham posted a birthday tribute for Apostel on his Stories, writing “I love you.”
Navigating the Age Gap
The nine-year age gap between the couple has sparked some public curiosity, but Apostel has remained focused on her relationship with Beckham. When a user asked on an Instagram post shared by Victoria Beckham during Paris Fashion Week, “Why is a 29-year-old dating a 20-year-old? That’s just weird,” Apostel responded with confidence. “Because he’s kind, funny, smart, caring, driven, mature, talented, loyal and also quite handsome.”
Despite the attention, the Beckhams have embraced their youngest son’s relationship. Apostel has been seen at both public and private events with the family, including David Beckham’s 50th birthday bashes and the premiere of Victoria’s Netflix documentary series.
At David’s London birthday bash, Apostel and Cruz even took the stage for a duet of one of Beckham senior’s favorite songs, Islands in the Stream. This moment highlighted the growing bond between the couple and their integration into the Beckham family.
Embracing Love and Support
The couple’s journey has shown that love knows no boundaries, whether it’s age, background, or public scrutiny. Apostel and Beckham have proven that their relationship is built on mutual respect, shared interests, and a deep emotional connection. As they continue to navigate their lives together, their story serves as a reminder that true love can thrive despite the odds.
