Jackie Apostel has publicly hit back after a troll took a swipe at her age-gap relationship with Cruz Beckham on Saturday.

The 29-year-old had posted a family snap showing her and Cruz sat in the front row for Victoria Beckham’s Paris Fashion Week show on Friday.

Putting on a united front, they were sat beside Romeo, 23, Harper, 14, and dad David, 50, as Brooklyn, 26, was noticeably absent.

In a heartfelt message, Jackie expressed: ‘What an amazing show and my favorite dress so far. @victoriabeckham, it’s an honor to see all this come together.’

However, in reply, one troll commented: ‘Why is a 29 year old dating a 20. That’s just weird. I’m talking about Jackie dating Cruz.’

Hitting back, Jackie said: ‘Because he’s kind, funny, smart, caring, driven, mature, talented, loyal, and also quite handsome.’

Cruz and Jackie first started dating in June 2024, with the pair confirming their romance in October when they went Instagram official.

Recently, the Daily Mail reported that since Jackie started her relationship, her social media followers have doubled, which has increased her appeal to marketing firms.

The songwriter has landed a series of lucrative endorsement deals to model and promote some of the world’s most prestigious brands.

She has begun collaborating with high-end fashion brands like Dior, Burberry, and Jimmy Choo, along with jewelry brand Pandora and beauty brands such as Sol De Janeiro and Summer Fridays.

The agreements involve her sharing promotional photos and videos with her 168,000 social media followers, a strategy that experts suggest can earn her over £10,000 per post.

Meanwhile David has continued to post gushing tributes in honour of his wife following her show.

Last night, he wrote: ‘Saying we’re proud is an understatement. Watching you flawlessly bring this together professionally, elegantly, and meticulously is incredible. You and your team should know it’s remarkable…

‘It’s exceptional because your team respects and cares for you due to the way you treat them, which exemplifies leadership… Congrats once more; you’re incredible, and having Knight Rider to kick off the event was a fantastic touch. WOW @victoriabeckham.’
