David Beckham, the renowned former footballer, has once again become a topic of discussion on social media. A recent video he shared on Instagram, where he is seen giving a peck on the lips to his 12-year-old daughter, Harper, has stirred debate. The moment, captured amidst the glitz of Paris Fashion Week, showcased Harper applying makeup to her father before attending Victoria Beckham's fashion showcase. While many viewed the gesture as a heartwarming father-daughter moment, others questioned its appropriateness.
The video, which was shared on September 29, offers a glimpse into the close bond between Beckham and his daughter. As Harper is seen applying makeup, the duo joyfully sings along to Taylor Swift's "Style." However, it was the concluding kiss that ignited varied reactions online. Some users expressed discomfort, with comments suggesting that such displays of affection might be more suited for younger children. Others pondered the necessity of sharing such personal moments on a public platform.
This isn't the first instance where the Beckhams have been under the spotlight for their familial interactions. Both David and Victoria have previously posted images of them sharing affectionate moments with their children, leading to similar discussions. In a 2017 Facebook Live session, David addressed the topic, emphasizing that he and Victoria have always been affectionate with their children. He mentioned, "I kiss all my kids on the lips," though he humorously added that his then-18-year-old son, Brooklyn, might find it a bit unusual.
The video also highlighted Harper's growing interest in fashion. She was dressed in a stylish white ensemble, complemented by Prada mule heels. However, even this drew some criticism, with a few questioning the appropriateness of her attire.
The Beckham family, given their high-profile status, often finds their actions under scrutiny. While some opine that they should exercise more discretion in their public shares, others argue that they should be free to express familial love without facing judgment.
