The son of Victoria and David Beckham was seen walking hand-in-hand with Apostel through the streets of Paris ahead of his mother’s Paris Fashion Week SS25 runway show.

Apostel sat with the Beckham family in the front row.

It was originally reported that the model was 18, however, that was later corrected to be a decade older.

HELLO! Magazine reported that Apostel, who was formerly a member of Brazilian girl band Schutz, is nine years her boyfriend’s senior.

“In an Instagram post introducing the members of Schutz shared to Instagram in 2022, Jackie is introduced as being 26 years old, making her 28 now. The star will turn 29 on 18 October.”

Following the fashion show, Apostel took to Instagram to congratulate her boyfriend’s mother on the show.

“The most beautiful show and the most beautiful dress. Congratulations @victoriabeckham,” she said to her 126,000 followers.

Meanwhile, the fashion designer shared a family photo after the show, with some noticing that it appeared to be cropped.

“Always there to support me... I love you all so much!!” she said tagging her four children, husband and daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz Beckham.

Cruz, on the far left, appeared to have his arm around someone where the photo was cropped.

“Did they cut the photo????” one of the top comments asked.

“Poor person who was cropped off on the left!” a second said.

“Who was Cruz standing next to?” another asked.

However, Beckham was quick to shut speculate down, posting again with a series of shots from the audience.

The second showed her children Romeo, 22, Harper, 13, and in between them Cruz and his girlfriend.

Apostel is a Brazilian/ German writer and producer and previously released songs of her own.

The new relationship comes after the youngest Beckham son split from his longtime girlfriend Tana Holding in October 2023.

It’s believed the couple first met in the UK spring of 2022 and instantly hit it off.

“They make a really lovely couple and she is down-to-earth and really fun,” a source told The Sun at the time.

“She is not fazed by Cruz’s fame and where he comes from.

“It’s early days, but Cruz seems smitten with Tana.”
