In a touching display of affection that highlights the enduring bond within the Beckham family, Jackie Apostel, the girlfriend of Cruz Beckham, has publicly celebrated David and Victoria Beckham's latest milestone. Following Sir David Beckham's long-awaited knighthood ceremony at Windsor Castle on November 4, 2025, Apostel took to Instagram to share a heartfelt tribute, praising the couple's unwavering support for one another's dreams and their "truly good" characters. Her words come at a poignant time, as the family navigates ongoing whispers of discord with eldest son Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz.
Apostel, a 30-year-old songwriter and former member of the girl band Feels, has been dating the 20-year-old aspiring musician Cruz since June 2024. Their relationship has blossomed amid the high-profile glamour of the Beckham world, with Apostel quickly earning the seal of approval from her potential in-laws. In her Instagram post, shared the day after the investiture, Apostel posted a montage of photos from an intimate family dinner celebrating David's honor. She donned a sleek yellow satin dress from Victoria Beckham's eponymous fashion line, striking a pose alongside Cruz, who looked dapper in a tailored suit.
"There’s nothing quite as beautiful as seeing deserving and truly GOOD people achieve their dreams," Apostel wrote in the caption. "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." She then zeroed in on what she finds most captivating about the Beckhams' partnership: "I am repeating myself but to me, the most inspiring thing to see is how you both support each other’s 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."
The post concluded with warm congratulations: "Congratulations on yet another unbelievable and well deserved milestone @davidbeckham, @victoriabeckham and the whole family." Accompanying the words were selfies of Apostel and Cruz beaming in their formal attire, as well as snapshots from the dinner where the couple appeared utterly smitten. Victoria Beckham wasted no time in responding, commenting, "Your beautiful words mean so much x we love u xx," a simple yet affectionate reply that underscores the budding closeness between Apostel and the family.
David Beckham's knighthood, bestowed by King Charles III after a 14-year wait, marked a crowning achievement for the former Manchester United and England captain. The ceremony at Windsor Castle was a family affair, with Victoria, parents Ted and Sandra Beckham, and children Romeo, Cruz, and 14-year-old Harper Seven all in attendance, dressed to the nines. The emotional moment saw David kneeling before the monarch, his iconic career—from five Premier League titles and a Champions League triumph to his global business ventures—finally recognized with the title of Sir David Beckham. "It's an incredible honor," he later shared, crediting his family's support as the driving force behind his success.
Apostel's tribute arrives against the backdrop of reported strains within the Beckham clan, particularly involving Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola Peltz, 30. The couple, married since 2022, notably absent from the knighthood event, David's 50th birthday bash earlier this year, and the premiere of Victoria's Netflix documentary. Tensions reportedly escalated when Brooklyn and Nicola renewed their vows in an intimate ceremony surrounded solely by her family, excluding the Beckhams. Nicola's social media activity around the time of the investiture focused instead on praising her sister Brittany Peltz for a floral gift, drawing sharp contrasts to Apostel's effusive support.
Despite the chill with Brooklyn and Nicola, the rest of the Beckham brood has rallied around their patriarch. Romeo, 23, who accompanied his father to the ceremony, shared his own proud post, while Harper's presence added a touch of youthful joy to the proceedings. Cruz, the middle son carving out a path in music with singles like "If We Were Together" and "In My Blood," has leaned heavily on his family's encouragement—and Apostel's unwavering backing. The pair first sparked romance rumors during a summer getaway in Brazil, where Apostel hails from, and they've since become fixtures at Beckham events, from David's lavish 50th at London's Chateau Marmont-inspired venue to Victoria's Paris Fashion Week show in October.
Apostel's integration into the family feels seamless. At David's birthday, she and Cruz even took the stage for a duet of his favorite, "Islands in the Stream," serenading the guest list of A-listers. During Paris Fashion Week, the couple strolled hand-in-hand through the City of Light, joining David, Romeo, and Harper to cheer on Victoria's latest collection. "He's kind, funny, smart, caring, driven, mature, talented, loyal, and also quite handsome," Apostel once quipped in response to online chatter about their 10-year age gap, defending their connection with characteristic poise.
For David and Victoria, whose own love story has weathered tabloid storms since meeting in 1997, Apostel's words resonate deeply. From Victoria's Spice Girls heyday to her evolution into a fashion powerhouse, and David's seamless pivot from pitch to boardroom, their partnership has always been built on mutual elevation. As Victoria once reflected in her memoir, "We push each other to be the best versions of ourselves." It's a dynamic Apostel clearly admires, positioning her not just as Cruz's partner, but as a cheerleader for the entire Beckham legacy.
As the family toasts Sir David's new chapter, Apostel's message serves as a reminder of the Beckhams' greatest strength: a foundation of love that propels ambitions while nurturing the heart. In a world quick to spotlight fractures, her praise spotlights the glue holding them together—one supportive ambition at a time.
