Jackie Apostel, 29, has hit back after a social media troll mocked her nine-year age gap with Cruz Beckham, 20, following the family’s united appearance at Victoria Beckham’s Paris Fashion Week show on Friday.
The model shared a glamorous family photo showing herself and Cruz sitting front row alongside David, 50, Romeo, 23, and Harper, 14 — though eldest son Brooklyn, 26, was noticeably absent.
Posting the sweet snap, Jackie wrote, “What an incredible show and in my favorite dress yet. @victoriabeckham, honoured to witness all of this come to life.”
But one follower quickly turned sour, commenting: “Why is a 29-year-old dating a 20-year-old? That’s just weird.”
Jackie wasted no time clapping back. “Because he’s kind, funny, smart, caring, driven, mature, talented, loyal — and also quite handsome,” she replied, earning praise from fans for her classy yet confident response.
Cruz and Jackie began dating in June 2024 and went public with their relationship that October. Since then, her social media following has doubled, catching the attention of global fashion brands. She’s now signed lucrative endorsement deals with Dior, Burberry, Jimmy Choo, Pandora, and beauty labels Sol De Janeiro and Summer Fridays — reportedly earning upwards of £10,000 per post.
Meanwhile, David Beckham couldn’t hide his pride after wife Victoria’s runway triumph. “To say we’re proud is an understatement,” he wrote. “You brought everything together perfectly, and your team loves you because of the way you treat them — that’s true leadership.”
Victoria also shared a heartwarming photo of her family front row, captioned: “I love you all so much. I couldn’t do this without you.”
While Cruz, Romeo, and Harper publicly celebrated their mum’s success, Brooklyn Beckham once again skipped the family affair — instead promoting his hot sauce brand, Cloud 23, from Los Angeles.
