Cruz Beckham and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel were seen arm-in-arm on Wednesday evening, attending an exclusive screening of Sir Paul McCartney's new documentary, Man on the Run. The event, held at Soho's Ham Yard Hotel, drew a star-studded guest list including Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher, Paul Weller, actor Paul Mescal, and singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams.
A Musical Milestone for Cruz
The musician, who celebrated his milestone 21st birthday on February 20, arrived in relaxed attire, wearing loose-fitting jeans and a navy bomber jacket. Jackie, 30, complemented his look with boot-cut jeans and a cropped fur jacket. Cruz's deep admiration for The Beatles was evident, as his recent birthday celebration in Mayfair featured a Fab Four tribute act. At the screening, he had the rare opportunity to meet McCartney himself, who was also in attendance.
Birthday Celebrations and Family Dynamics
Just days before the screening, Cruz marked his 21st birthday with a lavish Beatles-themed party at The Maine in Mayfair. Dubbed the Grande Beatle Ball, the event included a live Beatles band, a New England-inspired menu, and personalised Cruz-themed cocktails. Family members, including parents David and Victoria, brother Romeo, and sister Harper, partied into the early hours. Victoria, Harper, and Jackie brought Cruz to tears with a heartfelt speech on stage.
However, the celebrations were notably missing estranged eldest brother Brooklyn, who has been publicly distancing himself from the family. Brooklyn, now based in the United States with his wife Nicola Peltz, recently shared a six-page Instagram statement accusing his parents of trying to sabotage his marriage and prioritising public branding over family relationships.
Brooklyn's Ongoing Feud
In his statement, Brooklyn alleged that his parents attempted to bribe him into signing away the rights to his name before his wedding and that his mother cancelled designing Nicola's wedding dress at the last minute. He also claimed that family members told him Nicola was "not blood" and "not family" the night before the wedding. Brooklyn emphasised his desire for peace and privacy, stating that stepping away from his family has alleviated his lifelong anxiety.
Career Moves and Personal Pursuits
Meanwhile, Cruz continues to pursue his musical career, releasing his new single For Your Love last Friday and performing with his band, The Breakers, at his birthday party. On the other hand, Brooklyn has focused on his role as a cooking influencer, recently sharing a homemade sourdough tutorial on Instagram. He also posted a romantic Valentine's Day message to Nicola, vowing to "forever protect and love" her.
The documentary Man on the Run explores McCartney's life and career after The Beatles' breakup and the formation of Wings. As Cruz immerses himself in music and family events, the Beckham family's public rift with Brooklyn shows no signs of resolution, highlighting the complexities of fame and family dynamics in the spotlight.
