CRUZ Beckham's girlfriend Jackie Apostel seems to have weighed in on the growing speculation of a feud within the Beckham house.
As David marked his birthday in style with multiple events, the family's eldest son Brooklyn has opted out of all of the celebrations – but singer Jackie has stayed firmly at Cruz's side for all of them.

In a selection of photographs taken at the intimate family dinner held at the Beckhams' Cotswolds mansion on Friday, Jackie seemed to send a message with her Instagram caption.
Sharing pictures that include her joking around with Cruz, posing in their sprawling garden, and enjoying the dinner in a red VB dress, Jackie seemed at home amid the family dynamic.
She wrote alongside the snaps: 'i wish you could feel how much love was in the room these days through the phone ❤️🎂'
Jackie later joined Cruz at the rowdy London party held at Core Restaurant on Saturday night, with revellers dancing until police shut them off at 3.35am on Sunday morning.
She was seen arriving with Cruz, who later performed a special rendition of his parents' favourite song, Islands In The Stream.
David and members of the family have since posted photos from the special night, making note of all their family and loved ones who made it to the event.
But Brooklyn's absence was clearly felt throughout all the celebrations, with David sharing some of the more notable moments his son missed out on.
TMZ claims the friction has risen from Brooklyn – who is married to Nicola Peltz – not wanting to be around his ex-girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, who is now dating his brother, Romeo.
Brooklyn and Kim briefly dated back in 2016, before he met his now-wife.
Brooklyn was believed to be attending the MET Gala in New York tonight alongside Nicola, but they've now decided to skip the huge fashion event.
Music is heard blaring out of David Beckham's 50th birthday bash
A source explained: 'They cancelled plans to attend the Met because they really intended to be at David's party on Saturday.
'But Brooklyn is really upset that blame for the rift has been levelled at Nicola.
'She has never told him what to do and has been nothing but supportive — she's a loyal wife.'
David has had a string of celebrations ranging from a father-son fishing trip with Romeo and Cruz, to a flying visit to a vineyard in Bordeaux for an afternoon with pals.

They also held a family dinner at their home, before capping off the weekend with the celeb-filled London party.
Sharing photos on Monday, David noted that Brooklyn was 'missed' at the fishing trip, posting the boys' trip and their catches on his Instagram Stories.
Pals insist he DID text dad David to wish him a happy birthday and tried to organise a private meet-up, but was rebuffed.
A source close to the eldest Beckham child told The Sun: 'Brooklyn flew to London with the sole intention of seeing his family and celebrating his dad's birthday.
He suggested going for breakfast or a coffee but was told the only chance to see the family would be at one of their lavish parties which Kim would be at - so he refused.
'As far as he sees it, his parents have chosen Romeo and his new girlfriend over him.'
