The lovebirds weren’t alone, though. Cruz and Jackie were later joined by the entire Beckham clan, who rallied to show their support for Victoria’s latest runway showcase.
As photos of Cruz and Jackie flooded the internet, so did the chatter from curious netizens — and they didn’t hold back on sharing their opinions. Many were quick to point out Jackie’s uncanny resemblance to someone very close to Cruz: his mother, Victoria Beckham.
“Not me thinking that was Victoria,” a fan exclaimed, setting the tone for a flood of similar comments. “Cruz’ girlfriend looks like his mommm [sic],” echoed another, to which a third person replied, “I thought it’s Victoria until I saw your comment.”

One surprised follower even admitted, “Goodness me, I didn’t realize that it wasn’t Victoria until I read the comments[sic].” But it wasn’t just the look-alike factor that had people talking. Some questioned Jackie’s age, hinting she looked far older than 19-year-old Cruz.
“She looks 40 years old,” one comment read bluntly. Another user chimed in with curiosity, “Is she older? 😮” In fact, one commenter speculated that Cruz might have some deep-rooted “Mommy Issues.” Others went a step further, suggesting Jackie’s intentions weren’t entirely pure. “Jackie is using the family for clout,” someone claimed.

One user was baffled by Jackie’s supposed age, writing, “Cruz’s girlfriend is 18? Same age as my daughter. She’s stunning, but thought she was at least late 20’s.”
Another user couldn’t resist a sarcastic reply, “Nope, now reading she could be 28? Wonder what she sees in a 19-year-old Cruz? 😆”

Amid the wave of skepticism and critique, a few voices tried to steer the conversation in a more positive direction. “Beautiful family. I love the Beckhams xx,” gushed one fan.
Despite the whirlwind of opinions surrounding her relationship with Cruz, Jackie seems to be handling the spotlight just fine. The Brazilian-born songstress, who has lived in Germany since childhood, has carved out her own path in the music world.
Now 28, Jackie boasts an impressive repertoire, composing tracks in English, German, French, and Portuguese. Jackie initially made her mark as a member of the Brazilian girl band, Schutz, but according to her social media, she’s since branched out as a solo artist.

The much-anticipated release is set to drop on July 1st.

During a 2019 interview with Indie Band Guru, Jackie revealed her fondness for catchy music and mentioned that she wasn’t afraid to embrace the easy and repetitive aspects of pop. She further explained that her style is extremely versatile, drawing from rock and Latin influences, and noted that these varied elements are all essential parts of who she is as an artist.
Her passion for music doesn’t stop at songwriting. Jackie is also a producer and frequently shares glimpses of her creative process at the iconic Abbey Road Studios on Instagram. With such diverse influences and a fearless approach to blending genres, it’s clear that Jackie is a multi-talented artist in her own right!
