Victoria and David Beckham’s family holiday in St Tropez has taken an emotional twist, as their youngest son Cruz, 20, and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 30, joined them aboard their luxurious £16million yacht — while estranged son Brooklyn, 26, continued to sail apart with the Peltz family on a sprawling £85million vessel.
The emotional reunion saw Victoria warmly embracing Cruz as he stepped onto the family yacht. Fashionable as ever, the 51-year-old designer wore a chic black lace dress paired with an oversized sun hat. Husband David, 50, joined Cruz for a refreshing swim in the ocean, followed by a light-hearted chat with Victoria.
Also onboard was long-time family friend Eva Longoria, 50, godmother to Harper Beckham. The Desperate Housewives star was spotted lounging in a white swimsuit alongside her husband, Jose Baston, 57. Eva greeted Cruz and Jackie with warm hugs, adding a wholesome energy to the family moment.
While Victoria’s crew bonded onboard, Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz were nowhere in sight. Instead, the couple have been spotted cruising separately on an £85million yacht with the Peltz clan — a luxury choice that dwarfs his parents’ vessel and continues to underline the emotional chasm growing between the eldest Beckham child and his family.
The rift deepened after Brooklyn failed to show up at David’s 50th birthday bash in May, sparking concern and speculation. Victoria’s subtle activity on Instagram hasn’t gone unnoticed either — she liked every one of Brooklyn’s posts in July that didn’t feature Nicola, ignoring those that did.
Meanwhile, it’s been revealed that Brooklyn and Nicola no longer follow Cruz and Romeo on Instagram — a move insiders say may have come after Cruz and Romeo blocked the couple. The digital drama escalated when Brooklyn posted a birthday message to Harper, 14, but notably excluded Cruz and Romeo from the shared photo.
Despite the tension, Victoria and David seem determined to make the best of their summer getaway with Romeo, 22, and Harper, 14, by their side — and now Cruz and Jackie completing the circle.
