Cruz Beckham, 21, joins girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 30, for a lovers duet as he celebrates his milestone birthday – but snubs estranged brother Brooklyn in latest family post

To celebrate his 21st birthday on Friday, Cruz Beckham shared a video of himself singing a duet with his girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, showcasing his singing talent.

A video shows the young musician performing an acoustic version of the classic love song “Somethin’ Stupid” with Apostel. The song was first recorded by Carson and Gaile, but became a worldwide success in 1967 when Frank and Nancy Sinatra released their version.

Okay, so I was completely losing it when I saw Apostel post that little video for Cruz’s birthday! It was this super sweet duet, and she included it in this amazing montage of all these performance clips she’s shared. Honestly, it was the cutest thing ever, and I’ve rewatched it like a million times. I’m obsessed with both of them, and this just made my day!

She shared a birthday message for Cruz Beckham, writing, ‘Happy birthday! I love you so much. Here are some videos of you doing what you love… and I saved the cutest one for last!’

The Brazilian songwriter paid tribute to Cruz after they both attended a private showing of Paul McCartney’s new documentary, Man On The Run, in London.

It seemed Senator Cruz was thinking about the documentary, which follows Paul McCartney as he starts a solo career after The Beatles broke up, when he posted on Instagram Friday morning.

Oh my gosh, he quoted ‘Live and Let Die’! Seriously, it’s my favorite song by Paul McCartney and Wings – it was huge in ’73, you know? He wrote, and I almost fainted, ‘When you were young and your heart was an open book, you used to say live and let live.’ It’s just…everything. He knows we all love it, right? It’s the best line ever!

The song played over a slideshow of heartwarming family pictures, including childhood photos of Romeo and images of their parents, David and Victoria.

However, their oldest brother, Brooklyn, wasn’t included in the family carousel photo, reflecting his ongoing distance from the family.

It seemed like Brooklyn Beckham’s choice to create space between himself and others was alluded to when David Beckham, a former Manchester United and England player, shared a birthday message for his son, Cruz, on Friday.

He wished his son a happy 21st birthday, noting how much he’d grown. He expressed immense pride in the person his son had become – kind, thoughtful, and incredibly loyal to everyone he cares about, making him truly special.

We’re so proud of the amazing life you’re building, Cruzie! Enjoy every moment – working hard, having fun, and living it to the fullest. We love you and hope your day is incredible, because you truly deserve it.

The video showed a young Cruz developing his musical skills on both guitar and piano. It also featured heartwarming moments with his family, including time spent with his parents and siblings like Brooklyn, and scenes from their vacations together.

He finished by praising his wife, saying, ‘Great job, Mom, raising such a wonderful son.’

Along with a heartwarming family video, Victoria wrote: ‘Happy birthday! We are so incredibly proud of the wonderful, kind, and talented person you’ve grown into.’

You’ve put in a lot of effort and become really skilled – now you can achieve anything! We’re so proud of you and love you very much!

Romeo Beckham recently posted an old photo of himself with his younger brother Cruz as a baby, along with their mother, a fashion designer. He captioned the picture simply, ‘Love you bro.’

Brooklyn, who now lives in the US with his actress wife (whose father is billionaire Nelson Peltz), recently shared a six-page statement on Instagram explaining his wish to create distance from his family. The statement included shocking accusations.

In January, Brooklyn publicly stated that his parents attempted to undermine his marriage and consistently favored building their public image over nurturing family connections.

He shared a six-page statement on Instagram explaining that his parents have always managed how the press tells the story of their family.

Growing up, my life was filled with showy displays on social media, obligatory family gatherings, and relationships that didn’t feel genuine.

He explained that he’s recently witnessed how far some people will go to spread false information in the media, often harming innocent individuals, all to maintain a certain image. However, he remains confident that the truth will eventually be revealed.

Brooklyn wasn’t part of his mother’s new Netflix documentary, and he missed the premiere event. This contrasts with his attendance at the London premiere of his father’s documentary in 2023, where he was accompanied by his wife, Peltz. His three younger siblings also appeared in the new series.

Brooklyn and his wife weren’t able to attend David’s 50th birthday party in May, and they also didn’t show up when he finally received his honor at Windsor Castle on November 4th.
