Cruz Beckham has hit back at a troll’s snide comment about his age-gap with girlfriend Jackie Apostel by making a quip about his mother’s famously limited diet.
The musician, 21, went Instagram official with the stunning DJ, 30, in October 2024 after first being spotted together at Glastonbury and they have been going from strength-to-strength ever since, despite being a decade apart.
But the couple found themselves the target of cruel comments about their age difference this weekend on Cruz’s latest TikTok video.
The youngest son of David and Victoria was ever the doting boyfriend as he filmed himself whipping up pancakes for Jackie, writing in the caption: ‘She wants crepe, she got em’.
But one user responded to the loved-up clip with a sardonic remark in the comments section alluding to the pair’s age-gap, as they wrote: ‘I love when a son cooks for his mum’.
However, Cruz didn’t hesitate to use his quick wit to clap back, replying: ‘u think VB is eating a Nutella crepe, no chance daley’.

Victoria famously has very restricted eating habits, with husband David previously revealing that she has eaten the same meal every single day for 25 years – grilled fish and steamed vegetables.
The fashion designer, 51, was even known in the past to not even allow herself to indulge on her birthday, having a cake made entirely of watermelon and decorated with just strawberries and blueberries.
The mother-of-four has also said she won’t eat food cooked in oil, butter or sauces and doesn’t eat red meat or dairy, admitting: ‘To most restaurants I’m probably their worst nightmare.’
Responding to David’s confession to Vogue Australia, Victoria insisted that while the footballer made her tastes ‘sound boring’, she fills her diet with ‘healthy fat’ and regularly does detoxes where she abstains from drinking alcohol.
She said: ‘I mean, talk about making me sound boring! No. What he meant is that he’s never met anyone who is more disciplined with the way that they eat.
‘I eat lots of healthy fat: fish, avocado, nuts, that sort of thing. I do drink alcohol, unless I have a reason not to.
‘I’ll detox from anything for three to six months where I won’t drink. I’m quite extreme in anything I do, whether it’s eating or working out or drinking or not drinking.’
During her Netflix documentary, the Spice Girl bravely revealed that her ‘odd’ dietary habits were due to her having battled an eating disorder since childhood, explaining how she began to control her weight in an ‘incredibly unhealthy way’.

Meanwhile, other fans taking to comments on Cruz’s TikTok instead poked fun at his estranged older brother Brooklyn.
The eldest Beckham offspring, 27, frequently posts videos of his culinary creations on social media, and even had a short-lived Facebook series, Cookin’ with Brooklyn.
However, the aspiring chef’s efforts have been met with mockery, with his recipes branded ‘out of touch’ due to the pricey ingredients, or ’embarrassingly’ simple – such as when he made a sandwich during a live cooking segment on the Today show.
And fans continued to blast his efforts as they reacted to Cruz’s own cooking video, taking to the comments to quip: ‘Wait – a Beckham that can actually cook’.
‘The Beckham cooking content the people actually want’; ‘Best chef of the Beckhams!’; ‘Now photograph some elephants’.
‘You’re really talented, can you make a grilled cheese next’; ‘already a better cook than the older sibling’; ‘This is the Beckham chef that we love’.
‘I guess you’re the chef in the family’; ‘Giving Brooklyn a run for his money ✌’;’No cloud 23 sauce’.
‘the Beckham’s are brewing a chef! who knew?!’; ‘stay tuned for the photography book’; ‘The new cookery king’.
It’s not the first time Cruz has poked fun of Brooklyn’s cooking as he shared a video of himself whipping up a bowl of soup last month.
He took to TikTok to document himself making a cheesy potato soup finished off with a topping of bacon bits and poked fun at himself as he captioned the clip: ‘wanna see the best cooking video ever? Don’t watch this then.’
He later insisted in the comments that while the soup looked ‘gross’ it was still ‘decent’ and joking warned family friend and celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay to ‘watch out’.

The ambitious young musician and his band The Breakers were performing to a full house at London’s Courtyard Theatre in the heart of trendy Hoxton, a stop on his debut tour.
But he lost his characteristically cool composure while performing the group’s new single, Loneliest Boy – understood to be filled with barely veiled references to his wayward brother’s continued absence.
With brother Romeo and supportive parents David and Victoria Beckham watching from the audience, Cruz, faltered over the song’s plaintive lyrics, prompting band-member Dan Ewins to drape a reassuring arm across his shoulders.
Emotions appeared to run high as the tearful singer wiped his eyes with a baggy shirt-sleeve while delivering the track’s chorus, which features the telling lyrics, ‘Loneliest boy, mama don’t talk too much, it’s breaking her heart.’
Looking on from their seats at the tiny east London venue, his family members were visibly moved by the performance, with Romeo seen wiping away a tear as he looked up at the stage.
One concert-goer told The Mirror: ‘At one point during the song, he seemed overcome with emotion as his bandmate put his arm around his shoulder and affectionately ruffled his hair.’
Fans have been left convinced that the song is about Brooklyn’s widening estrangement from his family.
Additional lyrics read: ‘It shows in the small things that you don’t do, I guess in the end that it’s you, yourself, and you. Tell me how do you live, when you’ve got nobody to lose?
‘Loneliest boy, place all your bets on him, To find something bad in somebody good, he always does, Loneliest boy, I hope that you’re listening, Don’t push all your friends away, when we’re tryna show you love.’
Elsewhere, the chorus reads: ‘So tell me you’re scared, and that you need someone to hold. Cause you’re in the room but really, does it even show?
‘But, why can’t they see that you’re a million miles away, They’ll never know, when you look so close.’
