Cruz Beckham welcomes 'sweet angel' to family with girlfriend Jackie Apostel

Cruz Beckham has welcomed a puppy with his girlfriend Jackie Apostel and introduced the world to their sweet first pet together.

The couple shared photos of them smiling while cuddling Sandy on a bed on Instagram, tagging Sandy’s new Instagram page in the post.

Cruz’s fashion designer mother Victoria was quick to comment, “Sooooo sweet!!! We love you Sandy!!!” while Jackie added: “ANGEL BABY.”

Jackie also shared several glimpses of Sandy’s first few days at home on her Instagram Stories, including a snap of the pooch lying across Cruz’s legs captioned: “Big day of snoozes.”

In another, the pup flopped over Jackie’s hand, with the caption reading: “Loves a nap.”

Cruz’s football legend father David seemed to give his approval to the new family member.

Over on Sandy’s Instagram page, he was seen carrying a sleepy Sandy in his arms in a post that cheekily referenced his football skills.

“Grandad is gonna teach me how to bend it like sandy ;),” it read. The new page has amassed more than 2,000 followers in its first day.

Cruz and Jackie have been dating since 2024, with the couple first spotted together at Glastonbury that summer before confirming their relationship on social media later that year.

“We got put in a writing session and were both just like so obsessed with what we were doing with music and like, became really good friends and then here we are,” she said in an Instagram Q&A.

Jackie also claimed Cruz is “funnier” than she is and said she has bonded with his younger sister Harper, 15, over watching The O.C. together.

The couple’s near 10-year age gap has drawn attention online, though Jackie has previously addressed criticism head-on.

After one Instagram user questioned why “a 29-year-old” was dating a then 20-year-old, she responded: “Because he’s kind, funny, smart, caring, driven, mature, talented, loyal, and also quite handsome.”

He released his debut EP Wear & Tear, recorded with his band Cruz Beckham And The Breakers, which features six songs and an accompanying music video for each one over the summer.

“She’s honestly had such an impact on my career already, and it’s only the beginning,” he told Official Charts.

“I feel like I wouldn’t be on tour without her. I wouldn’t have met the band without her and she inspires me every day to be the best version of myself.”
