As one Beckham boy nursed a broken heart, another celebrates a huge relationship milestone. Cruz Beckham, 20, and Jackie Apostel, 29, have now been together for a whole year, and the pair marking the huge milestone on social media.

But Cruz and Jackie’s happiness comes as his brother Romeo Beckham adjusts to life as a single man once again after his split from girlfriend Kim Turnbull.

The news of Romeo Beckham’s break-up with his Kim might just be the catalyst for mending relations between Brooklyn Beckham and his family, following weeks of tension and cold shoulders.

But a family feud is the last thing on Jackie and Cruz’s mind today as the happy couple rejoice in lasting a whole year. Sharing a snap of herself and her 20-year-old boyfriend on her Instagram Stories, Jackie told her followers: “My favourite person in the whole world.”

She added another snap of David and Victoria Beckham’s youngest son and penned: “I love you even when you are morning grumpy.” Cruz also shared a selection of snaps on his Stories, telling his girlfriend: “1 year down, many more to go”.

Jackie and Cruz’s love-in comes as fans of the Beckham family hope Romeo’s recent split could see Brooklyn Beckham reunite with his parents and siblings after a tense few weeks.

Brooklyn, David and Victoria’s eldest, and his wife Nicola Peltz have been noticeably distant from the rest of the Beckham clan of late – they even missed David’s 50th birthday bash in April. It was rumoured that Romeo’s choice of girlfriend was the spark that ignited this family rift.

Earlier this year, whispers suggested that Brooklyn had once had a romantic connection with Kim, although Cruz Beckham reportedly stated in a now-deleted post that the pair “never dated”.

However, TMZ reported a couple of months ago that it was “all water under the bridge”. They cited sources claiming that the issue stemmed from Brooklyn and Nicola questioning whether Kim had “the right intentions” when it came to dating Romeo.

In the midst of all this drama, Romeo, 22, and Kim, 26, have decided to call time on their seven-month whirlwind romance. An insider has revealed that the pair “split a few weeks ago and it’s all amicable and they are still friends”.

Many will be hoping that Romeo’s change in relationship status will lead to a reunion between the Beckham brothers and a resolution of the family issues. However, they shouldn’t get their hopes up too high.

It’s been said that Kim’s involvement in the family drama isn’t the reason behind the split – and David and Victoria Beckham, both 51, are keen to make that clear.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, a source revealed that David and Victoria Beckham held Kim in high regard and believed she made their son Romeo “happy”. The insider stated that despite the recent breakup a “couple of weeks ago”, relations have “remained friendly”.

They divulged: “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. 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.”
