Jackie Apostel, girlfriend of Cruz Beckham, shares an uplifting message about kind souls who stay compassionate despite past hurts, right before attending Victoria Beckham’s Paris Fashion Week show on Friday amid ongoing family tensions.
Family Supports Victoria’s Fall/Winter 2026 Collection
Victoria Beckham, 51, unveils her Fall/Winter 2026 women’s ready-to-wear collection to a celebrity-filled audience. Her husband David, sons Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 21, daughter Harper, 14, and Jackie join her front row. Brooklyn Beckham, 27, skips the event as he maintains distance from family gatherings.
David arrives in a sharp black suit with a gold chain. Romeo chooses brown cargo pants and a leather jacket. Cruz sports a vibrant purple and orange crochet cardigan. Harper wears a black cape gown from her mother’s line. Jackie stuns in a mint green satin Victoria Beckham gown, posing beforehand with the caption ‘we’re ready!’
Jackie’s Inspirational Message and Show Praise
Apostel posts a poignant quote on her Instagram Story: ‘Some of the kindest souls I know have lived in a world that was not so kind to them. Some of the best human beings I know have been through so much at the hands of others and they still love deeply, they still care.’
The message continues: ‘Sometimes it’s the people who have been hurt the most who refuse to be hardened in this world because they would never want to make another person feel the same way they have felt. If that isn’t something to be in awe of I don’t know what is.’
During the show, she shares a catwalk clip, captioning it ‘unreal @victoriabeckham’.
David Beckham’s Heartfelt Tribute
Post-show, David posts on Instagram: ‘We are always so proud and astonished about what you achieve every single season raising the bar and continuing to live the dream that you have worked so hard for… You and your team really are incredible and we are proud to be here to witness the beauty that you continue to bring to each collection. We Love You. @victoriabeckham & I love Paris.’
He includes a photo of Victoria on the catwalk, a family group shot, and a selfie with his parents and Romeo outside a French restaurant.
Brooklyn Remains Absent
Brooklyn skips social media mentions of the show, focusing instead on promoting his Cloud 23 hot sauce brand. He recently turned 27 on Wednesday and lives permanently in the US with wife Nicola Peltz, daughter of billionaire Nelson Peltz.
Star-Studded Attendees Shine
American actress Nina Dobrev attends in a sheer black top, high-waisted barrel-leg trousers, and leather jacket. German actress Diane Kruger wears a cream asymmetric dress with lace cut-out bodice. Model Caroline Daur, once linked to Romeo, dazzles in a bright red satin ruched gown.
Victoria Expresses Gratitude
Victoria shares event photos on Instagram: ‘Thank you for always being there to support me. I love you all so much xxx.’
Context of Family Tensions
In January, Brooklyn issues a six-page Instagram statement outlining his decision to cut ties with his parents, citing various allegations. He misses key events over the past year, including David’s 50th birthday, Victoria’s 51st, David’s knighthood, and Cruz’s 21st.
Cruz pauses his UK band tour—featuring sold-out crowds—to attend. Romeo advances his fashion career, recently walking for Burberry at London Fashion Week. Victoria returns to Paris after receiving the Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters in January.
