Cruz Beckham, the youngest son of global icons David and Victoria Beckham, has been spotted in Birmingham's vibrant Digbeth district, accompanied by his girlfriend Jackie Apostel. The sighting occurred as Beckham arrived at Mama Roux's nightclub, where he gave a thumbs-up to photographers, signaling excitement for the first night of his UK tour.
Tour Kickoff in Digbeth
Beckham is in the city to launch his UK tour with his band, The Breakers, performing a unique blend of retro-inspired indie rock. The opening show is scheduled for tonight, Wednesday, February 25, at Mama Roux's, a popular venue in Digbeth known for its eclectic events. On Instagram, Cruz expressed his enthusiasm, posting, "I’m so excited to announce the first mini tour. It’ll be my dream to play you the music I’ve been working on. see you there? Let’s have a good time shall we?"
Girlfriend Jackie Apostel's Background
Jackie Apostel, who was by Cruz's side during the Birmingham visit, is a talented singer and songwriter. In 2020, she confirmed that she is focusing her musical talents on writing and producing, adding an artistic dimension to the couple's public appearances. Her presence highlights the personal and professional support surrounding Beckham as he embarks on this musical journey.
Family Dynamics and Recent Celebrations
This Birmingham appearance comes amid ongoing family tensions, particularly with his brother Brooklyn. Recently, Cruz celebrated his 21st birthday with a lavish party at a Notting Hill restaurant, where the family presented a united front despite the feud. Earlier this month, he also rang in his milestone birthday with a Beatles-themed party at The Maine Mayfair restaurant in London.
Brooklyn was notably absent from these celebrations following his bombshell statement last month, in which he accused his parents of attempting to end his relationship with wife Nicola Peltz and trying to get him to "sign away the rights to his name." He specifically targeted his mother, Victoria, for reportedly canceling the making of his wife's wedding dress at the last minute and claimed she danced "inappropriately" on him during his wedding day.
Impact on Beckham's Tour
Despite these family controversies, Cruz Beckham remains focused on his music career, using the UK tour as a platform to showcase his artistic growth. The Birmingham show marks a significant step in his journey as an independent musician, away from the shadow of his famous parents.
As Beckham continues his tour, fans and media alike will be watching closely to see how he navigates both his professional aspirations and personal challenges. The Digbeth event sets the tone for what promises to be an engaging series of performances across the UK.
