It appears Cruz’s visit was a chance to explore his girlfriend’s homeland. The couple enjoyed their time in Rio de Janeiro, strolling along the beaches and sampling traditional Brazilian cuisine.

Notably, there is a significant age difference between Cruz and Jaci: he is 19, while she is 29. However, this gap doesn’t seem to bother the couple, although it has reportedly raised concerns for Cruz’s mother, Victoria Beckham. She is said to believe Jaci might not be the right match for her son and worries the relationship could lead to marriage.

David Beckham, on the other hand, is more relaxed about the situation, viewing the relationship as an opportunity for Cruz to mature.

Unlike his father, Cruz is pursuing a career in music. He sings and plays guitar, sharing videos of his performances on social media to connect with his fans and showcase his work.
