Jackie Apostel, 30, gives a sweet insight into her relationship with boyfriend Cruz Beckham, 20, as they spend time together in London
Cruz Beckham's girlfriend Jackie Apostel gave a sweet insight into their relationship on Wednesday when she shared a series of film photos. The singer, 30, and the youngest of the Beckham sons, 20, recently celebrated their one year anniversary and were seen enjoying some time together in London. In the update shared to Instagram, one photo showed them walking their dogs together while in another, Cruz carried a guitar. Jackie, who is of Brazilian and German descent, appears to be working on new music in London and was seen practising with her band. Cruz is also reportedly preparing to launch his music career and is visiting the studio most days, with his sights set on an official release later this year. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The Sun revealed: 'Cruz is in the studio most days and Jackie loves to join him when she's around. They have a shared passion for music. 'This is a really exciting time for Cruz. He's got people supporting him and guiding him, including Luke Pritchard from The Kooks, and the tunes he's coming up with are sounding really great.' Elsewhere, Cruz celebrated his one year anniversary with girlfriend Jackie last week, sharing a gushing post just hours after his brother Romeo's heartbreak was revealed. He posted sweet snaps of his girlfriend on Instagram as he declared '1 year down, plenty to go.' Jackie meanwhile shared a carousel of images with the caption 'a good year.' The Mail revealed last Wednesday that there is heartache for Cruz's older brother, as Romeo, 22, and his girlfriend Kim Turnbull, 26, have gone their separate ways after seven months together. Friends said that the romance 'fizzled out' three weeks after David's 50th birthday, meanwhile Cruz and Jackie are still going strong. Jackie seems to have been accepted into the Beckham clan despite online chatter around her 10-year age gap with Cruz. In September she joined Cruz in supporting Victoria at her fashion show during Paris Fashion Week whilst she was in attendance at David's week of 50th birthday celebrations, including a close family trip to France. Jackie, who is of Brazilian and German descent, appears to be working on new music in London and was seen practising with her band At David's lavish London party, she and Romeo even got on stage to perform a duet of Victoria and her husband's favourite song - Islands In The Stream. Kim was also at the celebrations but despite being warmly welcomed into the family, the relationship has now run its course. Friends told The Mail that things remain 'amicable' between Romeo and Kim, and that their parting is 'nothing to do' with Kim being blamed by Nicola Peltz for being the catalyst for the feud that has ripped the Beckham family apart. One said: 'Romeo and Kim are both young and they had a lovely time together but at that age things don't always last forever and they decided to split up. 'They have been friendly since and have even been at the same venues. It's a huge shame, particularly as David and Victoria really adored her and thought she made Romeo happy but it wasn't to be. 'It happened a couple of weeks ago and relations have remained friendly between them. 'David and Victoria would hate for the view to be that they split because of Nicola and Brooklyn because that simply isn't the case.' They added: 'The fact is that Kim has got a really busy career as a DJ and Romeo has a busy work life too, there is lots of travelling for both of them at having a relationship at this time isn't all that conducive to their lives.' She has been at the centre of the rift after Nicola, 30, claimed that she felt uncomfortable around her, with sources close to the US heiress saying that Kim had dated Brooklyn when they were teenagers. That was the reason the couple gave for not attending any of David's celebrations. However, in fact she enjoyed a romance with his close friend Rocco Ritchie, the son of Guy Ritchie and Madonna.

Blake Lively takes inspiration from her Gossip Girl days in multi-coloured checked co-ord as she beams from ear to ear after Justin Baldoni's $400m countersuit against her was dropped
Blake Lively appeared to be taking inspiration from her Gossip Girl days as she stepped out in a rather eye catching co-ord in New York on Wednesday. The actress, who starred as Serena Van Der Woodsen in the iconic series from 2007 until 2012, wowed in a stylish multi-coloured blazer jacket and mini skirt. Putting on a very leggy display in the bright ensemble, she paired the look with blue heels and a bright blue handbag adorned with 3D strawberries. The star, 37, couldn't wipe the smile off her face as she beamed following the latest development in her ongoing legal case with Justin Baldoni this week. On Monday it was revealed that the director's $400million countersuit against Blake has been dismissed in a major setback for the actor's hopes for a blockbuster win over the millionaire actress. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Blake Lively took inspiration from her Gossip Girl days in multi-coloured checked co-ord as she stepped out in New York on Wednesday after Baldoni's $400m countersuit against her was dropped However despite Blake's relaxed demeanour, Justin's lawyer has blasted Blake's appearance at the 18th Annual Tribeca Artists Dinner on Monday night as a 'false victory tour'. Bryan Freedman spoke with TMZ Live on Tuesday, and admitted that while he and the Baldoni camp 'weren't pleased that that the judge dismissed the defamation claim, ' it wasn't 'what the case is about.' The attorney then recapped the series of events that led to the massive litigation surrounding the surprise summer hit. Daily Mail has reached out to reps for Blake for further comment on the story. 'We got started because Blake Lively filed a CRD complaint and then walked over and filed a lawsuit,' he said, 'which accused some very good people of a smear campaign and accused a terrific young man of sexual harassment - both of the which were completely untrue.' 'And that's where the case got started' and 'where the case stands today.' 'What we wanted our win is to show there was no smear campaign, and there's no sexual harassment,' Freedman explained. 'And she hasn't proved a thing - as a matter of fact, it's just the opposite.' Freedman told TMZ Live that evidence presented in the early stages of litigation has been damning for Lively and Reynolds. 'Look at the facts, look at what's been shown, look at the receipts, look at the video,' said the lawyer. Freedman told the outlet that proving the claims Lively made to be false has always been the chief focus for Baldoni's team, 'in addition to getting damages.' He said he was hoping Lively didn't 'drop her lawsuit ... because she's on a false victory tour, and she's afraid of the truth. 'The truth is, you know, going to be shown through depositions, which is what's going to be next, I've noticed her deposition - it's set in June - we're going to see if she's going to appear at that deposition or not,' Freedman said. 'And we're gonna proceed forward with the case, and we're gonna show that there was no sexual harassment, and we're gonna show that there was no smear campaign.' The actress on Monday released a powerful statement hours after the news broke as she took to Instagram. She wrote: 'Last week, I stood proudly alongside 19 organizations united in defending women's rights to speak up for their safety. 'Like so many others, I've felt the pain of a retaliatory lawsuit, including the manufactured shame that tries to break us.' The Los Angeles-born star continued: 'While the suit against me was defeated, so many don't have the resources to fight back.' Blake , who shares four children with husband Ryan Reynolds, vowed that she was 'more resolved than ever to continue to stand for every woman's right to have a voice in protecting themselves, including their safety, their integrity, their dignity and their story.' On Monday night Blake spoke out for the first time since the news as she released a powerful statement reflecting on the events The Gossip Girl alum wrapped up in thanking those in the public who have supported her amid the turbulent past year. 'With love and gratitude for the many who stood by me, many of you I know,' Lively said. 'Many of you I don't. But I will never stop appreciating or advocating for you.' The It Ends With Us actress, whose legal battle with Justin has had a significant impact on her friendship with Taylor Swift, added a list of groups that had publicly supported her amid the highly-publicized Tinseltown tussle. Among them, in alphabetical order, were the California Employment Lawyers Association, California Women's Law Center, CHILD USA, Coalition Against Trafficking in Women, Equal Rights Advocates, Esperanza United, Her Justice, and Herunivercity Inc.

Trent Alexander-Arnold picks Real Madrid number and will sport new name on back
Real Madrid will officially unveil Trent Alexander-Arnold as a Los Blancos player ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup but the Liverpool star will not be able to wear the No.66 Trent Alexander-Arnold will wear the No.12 shirt at Real Madrid with La Liga rules preventing him from donning the same 66 that he wore during his entire Liverpool career, and he'll have a new name on the back of it too. The England star, 26, will officially be unveiled as a Real Madrid player on Thursday after completing a transfer worth £10million. He was poised to join on a free transfer, however, Los Blancos paid out a significant fee in order for the Reds academy graduate to participate for them in the FIFA Club World Cup rather than joining at the end of the month. Alexander-Arnold wore the same No.66 throughout his time at Anfield, however, he is unable to wear that same number in Spain. That's because La Liga rules state that first-team players must wear a shirt number between one and 25, with Nos. 13 and 25 reserved specifically for goalkeepers. With that in mind, various reports have now confirmed that Alexander-Arnold will wear No.12 for his new club this coming season, with the defender also set to have his name, Trent, on the back of his shirt rather than his surname. The No.12 was worn for over a decade by a former Bernabeu favourite in Marcelo; the Brazilian left-back made the number his own during a trophy-laden 16-year spell in the Spanish capital. Eduardo Camavinga then donned the number for a short while before switching to the No.6 last season. Alexander-Arnold, who has signed a six-year deal with Real, has already changed his Instagram account to remove the number 66 from his handle, with his new account tag just @trent. The defender was met with a backlash from Liverpool fans after announcing he would not be renewing his contract with the Premier League champions. He was, though, given a positive reception on his farewell appearance last month. "I didn't know what to expect at Anfield after what happened a few weeks ago. To get the reception that I got means more than anything to me," the emotional star said after Liverpool's final game of the season. "I hope that one day the fans of this club will be able to recognise the hard work and everything I've done for this team. There wasn't a second where I didn't think about this team. I've loved every single minute of it. It goes down as the best day of my life for me."
