She's older. She's a rising star. And she's the spitting image of Victoria Beckham in her pop-star prime — as far as fans say. See the photos below and decide for yourself.

Cruz Beckham, the baby of the Beckham brood, is making headlines for more than just his music. The 20-year-old has been swept up in a whirlwind romance with 29-year-old singer-songwriter Jackie Apostel — a relationship that's ignited everything from family comparisons to age-gap backlash.

But who exactly is this mystery woman who's got everyone talking?

Born of German and Brazilian descent, Apostel is no stranger to the spotlight — or the studio. According to her official bio on the Montreux Jazz Festival website, she's split her time between her two home countries, while also spending significant time in the U.S. and London.

Deeply influenced by Brazilian rhythms, Apostel's passion for music began at just two years old, when she first touched the piano. Later, she sharpened her pen through poetry before releasing her 2020 EP, "The Reformation."

But don't expect her to tour or top the charts.

In a candid Instagram revelation in 2022, Apostel stunned fans by announcing her retirement from performing.

"My intention was and has never been to become a recording, touring artist," she wrote. "I'm a studio rat, I'm a creator, I'm a writer, a producer and an artist in many ways, but releasing the songs we did myself was always just a way of showcasing the tracks."

While Apostel may prefer the shadows of the studio, that hasn't stopped her from performing with her beau. In May 2025, she posted a heartwarming video of her and Beckham singing "Islands in the Stream" — the Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers classic — at a party.

"She is just a younger version of mummy."

The pair first caused a stir in June 2024, when they were spotted getting cozy at the Glastonbury Music Festival. Then came a series of headline-making sightings: a steamy night out in London, an appearance at Paris Fashion Week in September, and finally, a sweet Instagram birthday tribute from Beckham in October that made it official.

Since stepping into the spotlight as a couple, Apostel and Beckham have attended multiple family events — and it didn't take long before the internet noticed their nine-year age gap.

One critical social media user didn't mince words: "Why is a 29-year-old dating a 20 [year-old], that's just weird. I'm talking about Jackie dating Cruz."

But Apostel clapped back in the most devastatingly graceful way possible:

"Because he's kind, funny, smart, caring, driven, mature, talented, loyal, and also quite handsome."

Despite the uproar, the couple have remained unbothered — continuing to share quiet moments and public appearances, hand-in-hand and smiling.

Yet, it's not just the age-gap turning heads.

Apostel has been repeatedly compared to a young Victoria Beckham, sparking a wave of online commentary.

"She looks like Victoria Beckham," one person wrote. "She is just a younger version of mummy," said another.

"Looks like young version of his Mum Victoria Beckham," a third chimed in. And one especially bold commenter suggested, "Probably he missed his mother more than anyone else."
