Cruz Beckham has sparked attention after sharing an explicit photograph with girlfriend Jackie Apostel before quietly removing it from Instagram. The 21-year-old youngest son of David and Victoria Beckham was celebrating Jackie's 30th birthday with a series of romantic snaps when one particularly risqué image caught fans' attention.
While most of the pictures offered a sweet glimpse into the couple's relationship, the final image was decidedly less family-friendly. Taken aboard a yacht, the photograph showed Jackie crouching in front of her boyfriend, with her head positioned near his crotch as she grabbed his bum. Cruz, whose face was cropped out of the shot, appeared to be holding a glass of milk.
Photo Removed After Fan Reactions
The musician seemingly had second thoughts about sharing the intimate moment with his followers, as the photograph subsequently disappeared from the post. However, not before eagle-eyed Instagram users had spotted it, with several commenting laughing emojis and messages like 'THAT LAST PICTURE OMG!'
One person tellingly commented, 'Your mums gona tell you off for the last pic 😂' while another wrote, 'Bro, the last picture 🤣🤣🤣'
Romantic Tribute and Family Support
The rest of Cruz's birthday tribute was hardly lacking in affection, with the aspiring rock star making no secret of how loved-up he is with his older girlfriend. The first photograph showed the couple sharing a passionate kiss, while another captured Cruz lifting a bikini-clad Jackie into his arms. A separate mirror selfie saw Cruz cheekily grabbing his girlfriend's cleavage as they posed together.
Alongside the pictures, he wrote: 'Happy Birthday my love. you have no idea how much i love you.'
Cruz's younger sister Harper Beckham, 15, also marked the occasion with a heartfelt message on Instagram, making it clear just how close the pair have become. 'Happy birthday @jackie.apostel !!! I love you so so much and thank you for alwaysss being there for me, you are the sweetest and kindest person I know,' she wrote. 'You deserve to have the best day ever, I hope all of your wishes come true.' She finished: 'To many more cakes and candles.'
Relationship Background
Cruz and Jackie, a German-Brazilian singer-songwriter and producer, have been romantically linked since 2024. Despite their nine-year age gap, the pair have appeared inseparable, regularly sharing glimpses of their relationship on social media.
Their romance also has a musical origin story, with Jackie previously explaining that they first crossed paths when their managers arranged for them to work together in a recording studio. What began as a professional collaboration developed into a friendship before eventually blossoming into romance.
While Cruz's latest birthday declaration certainly demonstrated his affection, it appears there was at least one photograph he decided was better kept between the two of them.
