Meeting your loved ones’ parents is difficult at the best of times, but when those parents are global superstars Victoria and David Beckham, it’s fair to say it adds a whole new layer of pressure.

Then, each moment of the knowledge stage is relayed in the press. So spare a thought for Brazilian singer-songwriter Jackie Apostel.

At 29, she’s ten years older than her boyfriend, Cruz, the Beckhams’ youngest son, a tricky hurdle to clear at the best of times.

Clearly, the relationship is strong and the family has welcomed Jackie into the fold.

Victoria appeared to give her son’s girlfriend the seal of approval when Jackie appeared alongside the rest of the Beckhams at the designer’s show in Paris in September, wearing nothing less than one of her creations, a cream dress that sold for around €1,200.

She also joined them for the hot sauce launch in Brooklyn, again wearing a Victoria Beckham look. Next comes an appearance with Victoria, Harper and Cruz in the stands during an Inter-Miami match.

Most recently, Jackie went sailing with her boyfriend and his mother, so it seems like things are going swimmingly.

Except it has now emerged that Victoria might be a little “worried” about their age difference. A friend told Daily mail: “Victoria has been in a very bad mood these last few weeks. It’s not like her.

“What I heard is that she doesn’t want any problems with Cruz, but she’s so appalled by the age difference,” the friend added.

The friend believes Victoria is secretly hoping the romance will run its course over the next few months since Jackie is Cruz’s third girlfriend this year.

Apparently, David also thinks that the “Mrs. Robinson romance” is going to end soon and he and Victoria have decided to do nothing but be nice to them and see how things play out.

While Victoria apparently struggles to come to terms with the age difference, David reportedly feels like Cruz is having the time of his life.

The friend said: “He wouldn’t be as relaxed if it was Harper in a few years, but that’s another story – he’s so protective of her. But he thinks it’s a boy’s dream to being with a gorgeous older woman.

The Mail reports that Victoria’s concerns are heightened by the fact that Cruz is a bit of a romantic and has previously written on social media that he loves Jackie.
