Cruz Beckham, 21, quickly deleted a racy birthday tribute to his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 30, after fans spotted the intimate image before it was removed from his Instagram carousel.
The youngest son of David and Victoria Beckham shared a series of loved-up pictures of the couple on Jackie's special day, but the final image caught attention. The pair were seen together on a yacht with her head very near his crotch and hands holding him tightly from behind. Both smirked in the paparazzi shot, and Cruz appeared to find it funny.
Fans React Before Deletion
Fans were quick to comment on the photo before it vanished from the carousel. One wrote: "Your mums gona tell you off for the last pic!" The caption on the post read: "Happy Birthday my love. you have no idea how much i love you."
This was not the only intimate snap Cruz uploaded, as there were plenty of more appropriate images of the couple celebrating the occasion.
Family Wishes and Relationship Timeline
Cruz's younger sister Harper, 15, shared a message on her Instagram Stories for Jackie's 31st birthday: "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. You deserve to have the best day ever, I hope all of your wishes come true. To many more cakes and candles!"
The rocker has been dating the German-Brazilian singer-songwriter since June 2024. Despite their near 10-year age gap, the couple appear to be going from strength to strength. Last month, Cruz shared a glowing tribute to mark two years of their relationship, posting a black and white snap of himself playing guitar while gazing at Jackie. He wrote: "Jackie it's been two years, I love you more than ever, happy anniversary my love, I am forever grateful for you. You make me the best version of myself x."
Public Debut and Concerns
Jackie also shared a series of photos of the pair on her own Instagram, declaring: "2 years of loving my favorite human!" The couple first stepped out together at Glastonbury in 2024, following the breakdown of Cruz's relationship with Norwegian music artist Viktoria Reitan.
When reports of their romance first emerged, a source told OK!: "Although Victoria is pleased that Cruz seems happy in his relationship, she does have some concerns about the age gap and whether her youngest son is ready for that kind of commitment. She really likes Jackie, and Jackie seems to get on with all the family but Victoria would be lying if she said that her being 10 years older than Cruz isn't a worry. Cruz is still a teenager whereas Jackie is a fully grown woman who is at a different stage in her life and may want things that Cruz is not quite ready for."
