CRUZ Beckham’s girlfriend responded to critics who have been commenting on the nine-year age difference between her and her partner.

The individual in question, 29, faced backlash regarding her age after attending an event with the Beckham family.

Jackie and the Beckhams, excluding Brooklyn, were present at Paris Fashion Week. Cruz and Jackie were seen departing from the La Reserve hotel in Paris yesterday. They have been dating since last year.

Jackie traveled with the family and enjoyed a front-row seat at the fashion show to watch the models showcase their outfits.

She sat next to Harper, 14, and their father, 50, to enjoy the fashion display.

However, Brooklyn, 26, was noticeably missing from the event.

After the show concluded, Jackie shared a heartfelt tribute online expressing her delight in attending the event with the Beckham family.

“What an incredible show in my favorite dress yet,” Jackie stated.

“@victoriabeckham, I was honored to witness all of this come to life.”

Nevertheless, a troll replied to her post, completely missing the positive sentiment and instead criticizing Jackie for the age difference with Cruz.

“Why is a 29-year-old dating a 20-year-old? That’s just strange. I’m referring to Jackie dating Cruz,” the troll commented.

Jackie, however, had a perfect response to silence the critic, expressing her admiration for Cruz and his family.

“Because he’s kind, funny, smart, caring, driven, mature, talented, loyal, and also quite handsome.”

Cruz and Jackie began their relationship in June 2024 after meeting at a music festival.

The couple made their relationship Instagram official four months later, in October.

Fans have noticed that Jackie’s Instagram following has more than doubled since they got together, resulting in her securing more brand collaborations.

Since dating Cruz, Jackie has collaborated with luxury fashion brands such as Dior, Jimmy Choo, and Burberry.

She has also partnered with makeup and mainstream jewelry brands.

Victoria’s husband, David, also posted a glowing tribute after the fashion show, taking every opportunity to commend his beautiful wife.

“To say we are proud of you is an understatement; witnessing you bring this all together once again in the most elegant, professional, technically perfect, and militant manner is simply incredible. You and your team need to recognize how special this is…

“It’s special because the team you have loves and adores you because you treat them well, and that’s called leadership… Congratulations once again; you are amazing, plus you had Knight Rider as the opener! WOW, @victoriabeckham.”

Critics have labeled Jackie a cougar. In a classy move, she addressed the trolls and expressed her affection for Cruz.
