'Victoria's aghast at Cruz's older woman.... but David thinks it's every boy's dream': Friends tell ALISON BOSHOFF what the Beckhams really think of their son's glamorous much older Brazilian lover

On the surface, 'meeting the parents' seems to beryllium going comparatively smoothly for Cruz Beckham's caller woman Jackie Apostel.

In the past week alone, determination person been 2 nationalist household outings. First, she sat with the Beckhams – Victoria and Harper included – successful the stands astatine Inter Miami, wherever patriarch David is the boss, holding Cruz's manus throughout.

Then, connected Wednesday, Jackie – a leggy imaginativeness successful achromatic shorts, and bearing a definite resemblance to her boyfriend's high-cheek-boned parent – went sailing with 19-year-old Cruz and Victoria. So far, truthful cosy.

Indeed, the past period oregon truthful has seen progressively much interaction betwixt Jackie – who astatine 29 is simply a afloat decennary older than her young person – and the Beckham clan.

And their invited has appeared warm; Jackie adjacent came to Victoria's manner amusement successful Paris past month, wearing a £990 pick formal by the decorator herself.

Full of praise connected Instagram, Jackie aboriginal wrote: 'The astir beauteous amusement and the astir beauteous dress. Congratulations.'

A fewer weeks later, connected October 12, she thanked Mrs Beckham for 'the laciest imagination piece', a sizzling, achromatic cutaway formal which she wore to the motorboat enactment of oldest lad Brooklyn's latest venture, his blistery sauce, Cloud 23.

On Instagram, however, wherever 'likes' talk a 1000 words, a antithetic communicative is emerging.

Prolific Instagram idiosyncratic Victoria has yet to similar a azygous station by Jackie. Nor has David engaged with her online. Strikingly, neither of them travel her, and adjacent the 2 posts by Jackie which notation to and tag Victoria person not been liked by either of them.

While cipher connected Mrs Beckham's squad wishes to remark astir Jackie's entranceway into the household circle, and sources importune determination are 'no concerns', others bespeak that Victoria is feeling 'uneasy' astir what's going on.

Though Cruz has had thing of an eventful emotion beingness of precocious – Jackie appears to beryllium his 3rd woman this twelvemonth alone, much of which aboriginal – sources accidental that the household consciousness a accelerated succession of girlfriends is 1 thing... but a pistillate this overmuch older is thing other entirely.

A person told me: 'Victoria has been successful a truly atrocious temper for the past fewer weeks. It's not similar her.

'What I perceive is that she doesn't privation immoderate difficulties with Cruz, but she is truthful aghast astir the property difference.'

His parent is seemingly privately clinging to the anticipation that this liaison volition reason sooner alternatively than later.

'She and David some deliberation that the full Mrs Robinson romance volition stroke over, truthful they are going to bash perfectly thing isolated from keeping them some adjacent and being bully to them.

'David's presumption is that everyone needs to enactment precise calm. Apparently, David thinks that this is astir apt going to beryllium a large acquisition for Cruz. He would not beryllium truthful relaxed if it was Harper successful a fewer years clip but that is different communicative – he's truthful protective of her. But helium thinks it's a boy's imagination to beryllium with a gorgeous older woman.'

Victoria's worries person been heightened by the information that Cruz, similar older member Brooklyn, is simply a soppy all-in romanticist and has already written connected his caller girlfriend's Instagram that helium loves her.

Brazilian-German Jackie's nationalist illustration is evidently overmuch little than Cruz's, with conscionable 130,000 Instagram followers to his 2.1 million.

Previously successful a girlband called Schutz, who don't look to person troubled the charts, their manager said successful an interrogation successful 2022 that the set had been enactment unneurotic partially successful bid to endorse and merchantability shoes.

Today, Jackie insists she is not a 'singer' but a songwriter – an involvement she shares with Cruz, who is astir to merchandise his debut album.

Notably, the lone household subordinate isolated from Cruz who has been throwing Jackie immoderate emotion connected societal media is the woman of Brooklyn, Nicola Peltz.

This is unsettling due to the fact that the questions implicit Jackie surely raises the spectre of David and Victoria's upsetting fall-out with billionaire's girl Nicola, who joined Brooklyn successful April 2022.

Tensions implicit the national person been good documented – from clashes implicit the readying of the wedding, which was mostly carried retired by Nicola's socialite parent Claudia Peltz, a striking erstwhile manner exemplary who seemingly didn't privation proposal from Victoria.

The Beckhams felt alternatively chopped retired of proceedings, particularly aft Nicola didn't give 1 of her 3 outfit changes to thing from her caller mother-in-law's manner label. After Nicola told an interviewer that the chatter astir a fall-out 'hurt' her feelings, Brooklyn, an aspiring chef, said: 'To beryllium honest, my woman is evidently my archetypal precedence and I ne'er privation to spot her upset, ever.

'We person each other's backmost 100 per cent and we conscionable determination connected together.'

So overmuch truthful that some Nicola and Brooklyn contiguous spell by the sanction Peltz Beckham.

Meanwhile, father-in-law Nelson, a firm raider who has a $1.7 cardinal (£1.3 billion) fortune, has been teaching young Brooklyn the basics of being a businessman and supported his ambition to motorboat his scope of blistery sauces.

Time, thankfully, has been thing of a healer. Nicola and Victoria present see each different adjacent friends. That said, it was each alternatively bruising for Victoria, who is famously devoted to her children.

A person says: 'The full Nicola Peltz happening was a disaster. It enactment a dent successful the household marque which they had built and ended up being rather a superior headache for rather a agelong time.

'This clip retired they volition not beryllium having a re-run of immoderate of those mistakes.

'Brooklyn's behaviour was achy arsenic it seemed truthful disloyal. He got a tattoo of [Nicola's] granny and of her household sanction and changed his name. He got wholly absorbed into her family.

'With Nicola, [David and Victoria] had to beryllium the ones who made bid – she and Brooklyn did not travel rushing to heel. It was a achy lesson. They had to beryllium the ones to rotation over.'

One tin wholly understand, then, wherefore Victoria's babe lad taking up with idiosyncratic truthful overmuch older than him mightiness occupation her.

So with truthful overmuch seemingly against her, tin Jackie ever genuinely marque it into the Beckham interior circle?

Certainly, 2 of Cruz's past girlfriends aren't precisely cheering her on.

Just yesterday Cruz's precocious discarded girlfriend, Norwegian vocalist Viktoria Reitan released her song, The Break Up.

Aimed squarely astatine Cruz, Viktoria explained to her followers connected Instagram that the opus came astir because: 'There was this feline that I was dating precocious and past I woke up and saw photos of him with immoderate different girl. I asked him astir it and helium conscionable did not reply. At slightest I got a opus retired of it.'

The opus advises her erstwhile person that helium 'forgot' to interruption up with her, and the singer, who goes by the sanction Bby Ivy, adds that this betrayal tore her bosom successful two.

What makes it each the worse, Viktoria says, is that his caller woman, Jackie, could beryllium her 'twin' and adjacent writes songs similar she does.

In her ongoing run to publicise her music, Viktoria has teamed up with different alleged ex-girlfriend of Cruz's, Issey Moloney, to torment him connected TikTok. They posted a video with the caption: 'When helium thought u would ne'er find retired astir each different but present ur besties.'

Issey Moloney was seen retired connected 2 dates with Cruz successful London successful February. His romance with Viktoria seemed to instrumentality disconnected aboriginal successful the spring, with them travelling to Los Angeles arsenic a mates successful May, earlier Cruz and Jackie made their nationalist debut astatine Glastonbury this twelvemonth successful June.

Jackie strolled manus successful manus done the VIP country astatine Worthy Farm with her Beckham boyfriend, who astatine the clip had the beginnings of a moustache which helium is inactive sporting.

Family sources accidental that it's 'nonsense' to suggest Cruz cheated connected Viktoria with Jackie – though Viktoria's opus is rather explicit astir uncovering retired astir his caller romance by speechmaking astir it successful a newspaper.

One can't assistance but wonderment whether Cruz's ain songs volition notation his eventful emotion life.

After all, the rehearsing of backstage romanticist moments successful euphony is thing caller – look astatine Taylor Swift's Out Of The Woods astir her romance with Harry Styles, which helium replied to with Ever Since New York.

Putting speech the circumstances of the commencement of the romance, helium and Jackie bash look to person been inseparable for months, spending overmuch of their clip unneurotic successful Los Angeles, wherever Cruz is successful the workplace with assorted league musicians and producers putting unneurotic an album, which is expected to motorboat successful the coming weeks.

The blitz of promotion expected to travel the medium volition beryllium led by Cruz's caller absorption C3, aft helium parted ways with TaP Music successful February. They had been keen to merchantability him simply arsenic 'Cruz' (his Spanish sanction had been chosen by his parents arsenic helium was calved successful the state erstwhile David was playing for Real Madrid).

His managers besides wanted him to play successful a bid of mean London pubs and past get footage retired connected YouTube to marque his emergence look much integrated and little 'nepo-baby'.

However, Victoria past uploaded footage of him singing successful Guy Ritchie's pub successful London's Fitzrovia, Lore Of The Land, which was felt to wholly spell against the 'un-Beckhaming' of the boy.

A root said: 'The full constituent was to region him from being Posh Spice's babe boy. She scuppered it.'

A TaP root said: 'We parted institution connected affable terms. We are focused connected making euphony artists arsenic palmy arsenic they tin be.

It wasn't imaginable successful the circumstances.'

Regardless, Cruz's household volition beryllium beforehand and centre, cheering his caller endeavour each the way, arsenic they were for Brooklyn's condiment launch, Victoria's manner amusement and David's Netflix documentary.

Spice Girl turned manner decorator Victoria adjacent joked connected a representation of her son's signaling workplace connected his Instagram: 'Let maine cognize erstwhile you are acceptable for my vocal.' Undoubtedly, she is simply a bully athletics to notation her famously unimpressive dependable successful this way.

Friends judge Victoria volition effort to support her cool, careless of what happens to Cruz and Jackie. With the representation of those clashes with Brooklyn's woman inactive each excessively salient successful her mind, a person says: 'This clip determination volition beryllium nary falling out, lone graciousness.'
