Cruz Beckham 'prepares to launch his music career' as star 'heads to the studio most days' - and girlfriend Jackie Apostel is his biggest supporter
Cruz Beckham is reportedly preparing to launch his music career and is visiting the studio most days. The youngest of the Beckham sons, 20, who kickstarted his career when he was just 11 years old, has been working on new material and has his sights set on an official release later this year. And the budding musician has the full support of his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 29, who is said to often join him at the studio. 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.' 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. However the star is keen to rush anything as they added: 'Cruz isn't rushing into releasing anything until what he has done is perfect.' Back in March it was revealed that Cruz was writing songs with British indie legends The Kooks. The band's frontman Luke told T he Sun how he was eager to help the youngster 'navigate' his future career in music. He told the publication: 'We started writing songs together and we've become mates. 'I'd just love to help him navigate [a career in music]. He's naturally going to come under criticism because of who his parents are - he's aware of that. Cruz reportedly signed with the top music management company C3, who worked with US indie group The Strokes, as well as Thirty Seconds To Mars. Meanwhile last month Cruz and Jackie performed a duet at David's 50th birthday party. Taking to the stage at London's esteemed restaurant Core, Jackie took to Instagram to share the heartwarming video as they belted out the song Victoria and David love for the crowds. The 1983 hit, by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers, is well-known for being Victoria and David's favourite song and they danced to it at the end of the BECKHAM Netflix documentary. At the party, both Cruz and Jackie took on the vocals as they performed a melodic version of the popular song, while Cruz also played guitar. After finishing the song, Cruz leant in and gave Jackie a kiss on the neck while the crowds erupted into applause for the couple. Sharing the footage to Instagram, Jackie captioned the post: 'From 1 lova 2 anotha,' while Cruz added: 'Ah ahhhh,' both in reference to the song's famous lyrics. On the eve of David's 50th birthday, Victoria had also shared a video of her and her husband dancing along to the song. In the clip, they danced together to their favourite song Islands In The Stream, which has now become synonymous with the couple. She penned in the caption: 'Happy birthday eve @davidbeckham… my everything. My best friend, soul mate and dance partner for life. 'Like the song says. We start and end as one, In love forever, We can ride it together, ah ha I love you xxxxxxxxxx.'

Jackie Apostel takes another leaf from Victoria Beckham's stylebook with sexy little black dress
Jackie Apostel appears to be channeling Victoria Beckham again. The girlfriend of Cruz Beckham highlighted their remarkable resemblance in a social media photo dump on Wednesday. The 30-year-old songwriter shared several snaps of her posing in a little black dress - a staple of former Spice Girl Victoria. Jackie's off-the-shoulder number clung to her slender frame, while her dark bob and smoldering expression made her a dead ringer for the Spice Girl. She also gave fans a PDA-filled glimpse at her romance with Cruz, 20, sharing a polaroid photo of him planting a sweet kiss on her cheek. While another shot showed the youngest son of David and Victoria in a white vest, revealing his ever-growing collection of tattoos on his arms. Jackie also showcased her figure in a number of deliberately angled shots to display her toned midriff and long legs. In recent months, she has been snapped in a number of looks that are remarkably similar to ones Victoria has worn, including takes on her iconic little black dresses, sportswear and a stunning white satin gown. Her choice to dress in outfits that emulate Victoria's sartorial preferences has been seen as her way of demonstrating her support for the Beckham matriarch amid the family's rift with eldest child Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz. Also, in a sign that the feeling is mutual, Victoria has responded to the compliment by wearing a similar black lace outfit to the one her son's girlfriend had already sported. Jackie's most recent display of twinning came on Wednesday when she took inspiration from one of Victoria's looks when she stepped out with Cruz, dressed in a black jacket with matching leggings and baseball cap. Ever the fitness fan, Victoria has previously been seen in similar outfits, while documenting her workouts on social media. Jackie previously showed her affection for the little black dress - similar to the one Victoria wore in a 1999 appearance - when she attended the VH1 5th birthday in London. Even when out and about Cruz and Jackie spark a resemblance to a young Posh and Becks in their baseball caps and sports tops. David and Victoria famously used to wear matching outfits back in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Attending Victoria's Paris Fashion Show last year, Jackie wowed in a stunning white silk backless dress in another look similar to Victoria. She sat in the front-row alongside boyfriend Cruz, and the rest of the Beckham clan - siblings Brooklyn, Romeo and Harper. Victoria has even recently begun to return the favor; back in November she posed in a sheer black lace dress from her own range, a month after Jackie had shared an Instagram snap in the piece. And while the Beckham family has been thrown into turmoil in recent weeks due to an ongoing feud with Brooklyn, Jackie and Victoria's mirroring looks show their bond is stronger than ever. David and Victoria are understood to be devastated following a fallout with their eldest, who lives in the United States with his wife and her wealthy family. Brooklyn was back in London last week to shoot a campaign for the fashion company Moncler, but opted to stay in a hotel rather than in the Beckham family home in nearby Holland Park. He also failed to meet his father David, who was just half a mile away attending the Chelsea Flower Show in west London.

Cruz Beckham's girlfriend Jackie Apostel continues to channel his mum Victoria as she flaunts her svelte figure in Spice Girl's beloved LBD amid family's ongoing feud with Brooklyn
Cruz Beckham's girlfriend Jackie Apostel has once again taken style tips from his mother Victoria, as she showcased their remarkable resemblance in an Instagram photo dump on Wednesday. The 30-year-old songwriter shared a slew of sizzling snaps of her posing up a storm in a classic little black dress - a well-known staple of fashion designer Victoria's wardrobe. The off-the-shoulder number clung to every inch of Jackie's slender frame, while her dark bob and smouldering expression made her a dead ringer for the Spice Girl. She also gave fans a PDA-filled glimpse at her romance with Cruz, 20, sharing a polaroid photo of him planting a sweet kiss oh her cheek.

Ever the fitness fan, Victoria has previously been seen in similar outfits, while documenting her workouts on social media. And this isn't the first time Jackie's shown her love for Victoria's beloved little black dress before as well, and wore a similar piece as the pop star did back in 1999 when she attended the VH1 5th birthday in London. Even when out and about Cruz and Jackie spark a resemblance to a young Posh and Becks in their baseball caps and sports tops. David and Victoria famously used to wear matching outfits back in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

David and Victoria are understood to be devastated following a fall-out with their eldest, who lives in the United States with his wife and her wealthy family. Brooklyn was back in London last week to shoot a campaign for the fashion company Moncler, but opted to stay in a hotel rather than in the Beckham family home in Holland Park which was close by. He also didn't meet his father David who was just half a mile away attending the Chelsea Flower Show. Jackie's most recent display of twinning came on Wednesday when took inspiration from one of Victoria's looks when she stepped out with Cruz, dressed in a black jacket with matching leggings and baseball cap (Jackie pictured left, and Victoria right) It marked another notable absence from Brooklyn and his wife, after they previously failed to attended any of the slew of lavish celebrations to honour David's 50th birthday. The footballer hosted an early birthday party in Miami in April, as well as a fishing trip with his sons in Scotland, an intimate dinner at his Cotswolds mansion, a trip to France for a vineyard tour and finally a big bash in London to round off the week. It was claimed Brooklyn and Nicola pulled out of attending the Met Gala with the intention of attending David's birthday party, but were no shows at both events. Brooklyn was reportedly planning to attend, but felt too uncomfortable to come after he felt Nicola was being blamed for the rift with his family. Claims that they were rebuffed when they asked David and Victoria to celebrate David's birthday privately were also said to be untrue. The couple's absence at the events is said to have cemented the divide between them, with The Mail revealing that Romeo's girlfriend Kim Turnbull has been made the 'scapegoat' in the feud. Sources close to Nicola told TMZ they wanted 'to get together privately' to avoid Kim as the couple are said to 'have a problem' with her. Kim and Brooklyn were undeniably close for a brief period – as photographs of them together in 2016 show - but suggestions that they were ever an item are wide off the mark, according to well-informed sources who spoke to The Mail. In fact, younger brother Cruz, personally shut down the gossip recently when he responded to an Instagram post showing a picture of Romeo and Kim together. In a now-deleted message, one user commented: 'It's appropriate to date your brother's ex too? Cool.' Cruz replied: 'Brooklyn and Kim never dated.' One friend told the Mail: 'This is nothing to do with Kim and is all about Nicola. All David and Victoria want is their son back – and they will be there to welcome him any time.' Family friends claim Brooklyn's wife has a pattern of 'starting an argument' before family events and then preventing her husband from attending. Some believe that friends of Nicola have been behind the briefings about Kim being the cause of Brooklyn's rift with his family, some of which went so far to claim that he had told them he refused to come to any event at which Kim was present. A source close to the family told MailOnline: 'Brooklyn was close to Kim because she was dating Rocco and they all hung out in a tightknit friendship group. But that was years ago. Brooklyn and Kim were close, but there was never any romance. 'It seems Nicola doesn't like Brooklyn spending any time with the Beckhams full stop and is using his previous closeness to Kim and her getting in with the family as a reason to not be around them. 'She denies it, but Nicola has been controlling him since the wedding. The family - including the brothers - have had enough of it. 'This is the narrative that's been put out to other news outlets, that Romeo is dating his brother's ex-girlfriend - and that's really weird, so that's why they wouldn't want to be around the family when she is there. 'But none of this is true. And it's really upset Romeo and his parents because Kim is seemingly being used by Nicola as a reason to start the rift. Romeo is furious at the suggestion that he would bring an ex-girlfriend of Brooklyn into the family when there never was any romance.' Following the birthday party snub, it was revealed Brooklyn also declined an invitation by his father to join him and his brothers on a 'boys' fishing trip to celebrate his 50th. The Mail revealed David invited Brooklyn on a short break six months ago when he began planning, yet his son failed to go despite arriving in the UK the day he went with Romeo and Cruz. Sources have suggested that Brooklyn's decision was influenced by his wife, claiming: 'Brooklyn was asked to join them ages ago. 'Then he came to London in time but he didn't go. Once again David made the best of things and had a great time with Cruz and Romeo.' David still offered an olive branch to his son as he shared snaps from the trip, as he captioned one of his posts: 'You were missed @brooklynbeckham.' The England star is allegedly 'desperate to make amends with his son as he fears history is repeating itself' following his bitter fall out with his own father Ted in 2005. While, a Mail Plus report also revealed Victoria's heartbroken verdict on the row, claiming that she feels 'betrayed' by Brooklyn and thinks Nicola is a viper. A source said: 'Victoria is fairly open among her close friends about what a viper Nicola is and how she feels betrayed by Brooklyn, so the mask has fully dropped.' The fashion designer is also said to have been having 'sleepless nights' over the feud and fears they won't be able to heal their rift with Brooklyn

Stars whose lovers look like their PARENTS as Cruz Beckham dates Posh lookalike…& royal's hubby who's deadringer for dad
Loading the Elevenlabs Text to Speech AudioNative Player... IT may be an unconscious bias but being attracted to people who look like your parents is surprisingly common - even among celebrities. Cruz Beckham has become the latest celeb to fall into the Oedipus complex trap, with his Posh 'lookalike' girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, 29. 18 The slim brunette emulated Victoria's style when she was pictured in Notting Hill, London, this week, wearing all black gym gear paired with a baseball hat - a look favoured by Cruz's designer mum. It's not the first time The 29-year-old songwriter has taken fashion inspiration from the former Spice Girl. During Paris Fashion Week in March she was pictured wearing a navy satin gown almost identical to one worn by Victoria. The songwriter has also been seen wearing a number of looks from Posh's Victoria Beckham brand, in a sure sign she has had the star's seal of approval. But it isn't just men fall for women who look like their mothers - there are plenty of female stars dating men who look like their fathers. According to a study by A.C Little on Evolution and Human Behaviour, opposite sex partners usually have a "type" - and they tend look a lot like their parents. It comes down to two particular features. The eye colour of the opposite sex parent is the best predictor of both male and female partner eye colour. Hair colour is also a strong predictor for both sexes. So, let's put some famous faces and their partners to the test. Gemma Owens and Luca Bish Prince Harry & Meghan's secret mansion summit with Brooklyn Beckham & Nicola Peltz to share trauma of toxic family feuds 18 18 Former footballer Michael Owen's daughter Gemma entered the Love Island Villa in 2022 for series eight. There, she met Luca Bish, the man who sells fish. Fans were quick to notice the similarity between Luca and Michael, taking to social media to address it. One person said: "What did Freud say?" Freud's Oedipus complex refers to when young boys experience an unconscious feeling of desire towards his mother and a hostility towards his father. Regardless, after a three month romance, Gemma and Luca cut ties and are both happy in their new relationships - with partners of opposite hair colours to their exes I might add... Florence Pugh and Zach Braff 18 18 Some might say this is the ultimate case of stars whose lovers look exactly like their parents. Florence and Zach were in a relationship from 2019 to 2022. They kept their romance pretty private until a birthday tribute to Zach from Florence sent fans spiralling. Because of their 21 year difference, the couple received some serious backlash from trolls. This coincided with social media users realising the uncanny resemblance between Florence's dad, Clinton Pugh who owned a number of restaurants and cafes in Oxford. Taking to Reddit, one user said: "That's very scary and concerning! "He is her dad's f***ing twin!! There's no way no one pointed this out to her or that she doesn't see the blatant similarity in their looks!" Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth 18 18 Miley and Liam - once the IT couple - met while filming The Last Song. Their decade-long relationship imploded in 2019, less than a year after marriage, much to fans' dismay. But not before they had speculated on shared features between Liam and Miley's dad Billy Ray Cyrus. Both men have boast tall, dark and handsome features along with a similar build and facial structure. What's more, Billy has openly spoken about "borrowing" Liam's clothing. Lucy Mecklenburgh and Ryan Thomas 18 TV personality Lucy started dating CBB winner Ryan in 2017 and became engaged in 2019. They share three children, one of which, Scarlett, is from Ryan's previous relationship with Corrie co-star Tina O'Brien. Some may have noticed Lucy's dad Paul shares a few similar features with her fiance. Both of which have teddy bear like features, with round faces, wide set eyes and short curly hair. Funnily enough, Ryan has two other brothers Adam and Thomas who all look extremely similar. Ryan has often laughed off confusion over looking more like Adam's twin than Scott. But each are handsome and charismatic in their own right. Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky 18 18 The Australian bombshell met his glamorous Spanish wife in 2010 and had three children. Chris stunned fans after sharing a tribute to his mum and wife on Instagram. A user commented: "Your mum and your wife look the same age and that is NOT a dig at your babe wife." While another simply said: "Your mum looks SO young!" It's not the first time Chris' parents have stolen the limelight on his social media. After the actor shared a picture of himself with his mum Leonie and his dad at the Commonwealth Games, a fan said: "Wow! Your mum looks more like your sister! Good genes!" Followed by another: "You have very good-looking parents." Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank 18 18 The pair, who met in 2010 and have been together for over a decade and share two children. Some may have spotted some similarities between Jack and Princess Eugenie's father, Prince Andrew. Both men have dark hair, fair skin and prominent noses and ears. Similarly, their faces are on the longer side, matched with toothy grins. Andrew previously told ITV James is an "extraordinary young man" with "one of the kindest hearts". He added: "It's a good match." Ant McPartlin and Anne-Marie Corbett 18 18 Ant has been married to his partner Anne-Marie since 2021. They share three children, two of which include Anne-Marie's daughters from a previous marriage. Some may have noticed both Ant's wife and mum, Christine Woodhall, are strikingly blonde with similar haircuts. Both also have soft complexions and similar skin tones. Christine raised Ant as a single mum after his dad Ray walked out when he was 10 years old. During Ant's rehab lockdown in 2018, he only allowed his mum Christine Woodhall and co-host Declan Donnelly to visit him. According to The Mirror, Christine vowed to help her son "sort himself out", as he continued his battle with drink and painkiller addiction.

But another huge hit could be on the way now an unreleased single from more than three decades ago has been discovered. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 9 Take That could be set for another hit after a long-lost single from 30 years ago was uncovered Credit: Getty The track was originally destined to be the British boyband's first chart-topper — and there are hopes the song may finally be released. I can reveal Gary Barlow, Robbie Williams, Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Howard Donald cut the track, Falling For You Girl, in February 1992, with Robbie and Gary on lead vocals. It was intended to be the follow-up to their Top Ten hit Could It Be Magic, but personnel changes at record label Sony led the song to be shelved and forgotten about — until today. Producer and songwriter Ian Levine, who worked on the track as well as Could It Be Magic, had high hopes for it. He told me: 'I had been brought in to revive the band's fortunes, as their first three singles had been flops, and there was concern the band would be dropped from their label Sony. "Could It Be Magic went to No3 in November 1992 and Falling For You Girl was scheduled for the following January. "There's no doubt it would have gone straight to No1.' On the release being canned, he added: 'The label felt it was the band's strongest single yet and it was deliberately planned as the follow-up to Could It Be Magic. Treat for fans 'It was a classic case of record company politics. I got caught in the crossfire and — tragically — so did the song.' But after Ian sold the rights to his Take That songs to music publisher One Media IP Group in 2021, the track was finally rediscovered. Jason Orange: A Glimpse of the Ex Take That Star! Ian added: 'For me personally, it was a creative high point and one of the best songs Take That ever recorded. 'To see the song finally come out would be an absolute treat for the fans and a wonderful way to celebrate the band's legacy.' Even though Ian Levine co-wrote and produced the song, the band's old record label Sony has the final say for it to be officially released. As a part of pop culture history, I'd love to hear it. Cruz a mummy's boy Cruz Beckham's relationship with Jackie Apostel is hotting up – after she introduced him to her mum. In my exclusive pictures, the youngest son of Victoria and David Beckham was seen charming his new M-I-L during a swanky lunch in central London. 9 Cruz Beckham's relationship with Jackie Apostel is hotting up – after she introduced him to her mum Credit: BackGrid 9 Cruz was seen charming his new M-I-L during a swanky lunch in central London Credit: BackGrid 9 Cruz greets Jackie's mum with a warm hug Credit: BackGrid 9 The young Beckham then spent some time chatting with the doorman at the swanky restaurant Credit: BackGrid After hugging Jackie's mum, he enjoyed a chat with a doorman at the venue, below right. He and Jackie were first seen together at Glastonbury last summer and since then have been pretty much inseparable. She's become a firm fixture in the family's social media snaps and I'm told Jackie has become a bit of a muse for Cruz, who is in the process of hard launching his music career. A pal said: 'Cruz is mad for Jackie and they make each other very happy. David and Victoria are thrilled Cruz has found a steady girlfriend and her mum thinks he's a lovely young man.' And a talented one too, according to people I know who've heard his music. Lew, too Lewis Capaldi fans haven't seen him on stage for a while. But I'm told the Someone You Loved singer got up to belt out tunes at U2's huge Ivor Novello Awards afterparty, celebrating the band being made Fellows of the Ivors Academy. 9 Lewis Capaldi made a surprise return to the stage, singing at U2's star-studded Ivor Novello afterparty Credit: Shutterstock Editorial He was in good company, with Ed Sheeran also singing a few tunes to Bono and his bandmates. My insider told me the Irish rockers booked the posh Devonshire pub in Soho, central London, and partied until 3am yesterday. They added: 'U2 hired out all four floors of the pub and threw a massive party. 'Ed and Lewis both sang a few songs – it was an incredible moment because no one was really expecting it. 'There were a few fans standing outside and they could hear it all too. Everyone inside was going nuts for them. 'The band's friends and family were there to celebrate and there were loads of celebs, including Samuel L Jackson. 'As soon as the Ivors were over they all headed to the Devonshire, it was absolutely packed. 'The party didn't finish until 3am and people were staggering out as they left.' I bet the barrels of Guinness in the Devonshire's cellar have been seriously depleted. Joe's new music not for Sophie Joe Jonas has used his new album to open up about his divorce from British actress Sophie Turner. The record, Music For People Who Believe In Love, sounds similar to Harry Styles' last collection, Harry's House, and sees Joe drop some not-so-subtle hints about the messy split with ex-missus Sophie. 9 Joe Jonas has used his new album to open up about his divorce from British actress Sophie Turner Credit: Getty 9 Joe drops some not-so-subtle hints about the messy split with ex-wife Sophie Credit: Getty On Parachute, Joe sings: 'To be honest, my naked finger. Still has a fourteen-carat kinda whisper. Cinderella needs new slippers 'The memory is thicker than a picture.' He continues on Heart By Heart: 'I've been working hard 'til the middle of the night. Losing sleep and catching flights. 'You've been out most nights, tryna get a little peace. Even if it ain't with me. Haven't you, darling? That's alright, darling.' Lovingly he adds: 'Well, if he don't ever light your spark, remember I know your heart by heart. 'Just remember I will always remember. 'Holding you tight in the back of your car. Know that we tried, but we didn't get far. I'm sorry, so sorry. 'Well, you gotta leave town and you gotta live your life. Baby, don't forget you can call me any time. You're lonely.' I'm not sure Sophie will be adding this to her playlists anytime soon. I'm rooting for brilliant comedian Joseph Charm in the Britain's Got Talent final next Saturday. He had me in stitches and I'm not surprised he got the golden buzzer from Alesha Dixon – who got Joe's mum up on stage to help her press it. Even if he doesn't get the top prize, I've no doubt we'll see a lot more of Joseph in the future.

But it appears The Libertines rocker, who has type 2 diabetes, has done just that – and is feeling back to his best. 9 Pete Doherty has turned his health around after a stark warning from doctors – and is now feeling better than ever Credit: Getty At the peak of his career, Pete struggled with addiction to hard drugs, including heroin, crack and cocaine, and alcohol dependency. His bandmate Gary Powell said: 'Pete's health is great. 'Mentally, he's in a really good place. 'Physically, he's getting fitter and stronger as the days go by. I think he's happier now than he has been in a long time. 'His luck has completely changed – getting married, having a child, moving to France. 'You can just see from his musical repertoire that he has changed. 'There's a much happier demeanour about him right now, which comes across within his writing.
