David and Victoria Beckham welcome teen son’s older girlfriend on superyacht in Miami

There’s no place like Miami for the holidays, especially if you’re filthy rich.

David and Victoria Beckham retreated to their tropical winter wonderland to spend some quality time on the water the other day.

According to paparazzi pics, also along for the trip aboard the couple’s multimillion dollar superyacht was their youngest son Cruz, who brought along his girlfriend Jackie Apostel.

The 19-year-old scion and Brazilian singer, 10 years his senior, have been dating a little over a year.

Though there were rumors of tension between Ma Beckham and Apostel in the British tabloids, the two women seemed just fine. Fuzzy pap pics show them hugging it out aboard the luxury vessel named Seven, after dad’s soccer jersey number.

A few months ago, things were a little, um, different, according to the UK’s Mirror.

“Although Victoria is pleased that Cruz seems happy in his relationship, she does have some concerns about the age gap,” an insider told the outlet. “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.”

But Apostel seems to have won over Victoria. The former girl bander was in town a few months back to watch an Inter Miami game, and even wore a lacy outfit designed by the onetime Spice Girl, calling it a “dream piece” on Instagram.

Talk of Victoria not getting along with her kids’ partners is nothing new.

The 50-year-old reportedly famously feuded with her now daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz, who married Brooklyn Beckham in an over the top ceremony at her family’s Palm Beach estate in April 2022.

The spat, resolved long ago, was apparently over the fact that Victoria felt excluded during the wedding planning process.

“They can’t stand each other and don’t talk,” a source told Page Six at the time. “The buildup to the wedding was horrendous.”
