Lena Dunham’s new Netflix series, *Too Much*, has stirred the pot with a notable jab at Cruz Beckham’s dating history. In the second episode of the show, which premiered on July 10, 2025, a character named Boss, played by Leo Reich, makes a remark that has fans buzzing. During a conversation with Jessica, portrayed by Megan Stalter, Boss quips, “I’m making a playlist for my friend. She just got dumped by Cruz Beckham, which is pretty much the lowest thing that’s ever happened to anyone.”
This line, penned by Dunham, who co-created the series with her husband Luis Felber, has drawn attention not just for its humor, but also for its direct reference to the 20-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham. All ten episodes of *Too Much* are now available for streaming on Netflix, allowing viewers to dive into the story of Jessica, who moves to England after a breakup and finds herself entangled in a new romance with indie musician Felix, played by Will Sharpe. Dunham herself appears in the series as Nora, Jessica’s older sister.
Cruz Beckham, who has been dating Jackie Apostel since 2024, seems to be unfazed by the jab. The couple was first linked in April of that year and made headlines when they attended the Glastonbury music festival together shortly after. Their relationship appears to be going strong, with Jackie showing her support for Cruz during a recent Paris Fashion Week event, where she wore a dress designed by his mother, Victoria Beckham. Following the show, she shared her excitement on Instagram, posting, “The most beautiful show and the most beautiful dress. 🥺❤️ Congratulations @victoriabeckham.”
While Cruz’s romantic life has been a topic of discussion, the Beckham family dynamics have also been under scrutiny. Tensions have escalated between Cruz, his brother Romeo, and their parents, David and Victoria, in relation to their older brother Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham. The rift became public when Brooklyn and Nicola declined to attend David’s 50th birthday celebration, citing ongoing issues with Romeo and his then-girlfriend, Kim Turnbull. Since then, Brooklyn and Nicola have reportedly cut off communication with the rest of the family, and Cruz has publicly sided with Romeo.
Despite the familial tensions, Cruz expressed his pride for his father following David’s recent knighthood, posting a heartfelt message on Instagram, “I’m so proud of you, Dad, I love you. Sir David Beckham has a nice ring to it!” Romeo echoed this sentiment, celebrating their father’s achievement while navigating the complexities of their family relationships.
As for the future of the Beckham family, sources close to David and Victoria are hopeful for reconciliation. An insider revealed, “Friends and people around them see a long road to mending this, but there is a desire to mend on David and Victoria’s part.”
Interestingly, Brooklyn attempted to extend an olive branch on July 10, wishing his sister Harper a happy birthday on social media, indicating a potential thaw in the icy relations. He shared a photo of the siblings and Nicola with the caption, “Happy birthday Harper, we love u x.”
With the release of *Too Much* and the ongoing drama surrounding the Beckham family, fans are left wondering how these narratives will unfold. Will Cruz Beckham continue to be a focal point in pop culture, and how will the family dynamics evolve? One thing is for certain: the Beckham legacy remains as captivating as ever, with each family member contributing to the ongoing saga.
As fans tune in to *Too Much*, they are not only treated to a comedic exploration of relationships but also a glimpse into the real-life complexities of one of Hollywood’s most talked-about families. The interplay between Dunham’s fictional storytelling and the Beckham family’s reality keeps audiences engaged and eager for more updates on both fronts.
