At 46, David Beckham is the proud father of four children. The boys Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz are aged 22, 19 and 16 respectively, while the youngest, Harper is 10 years old. If the elders are rather busy and already pursuing careers in photography or fashion, Harper is still with her famous dad and their complicity is often exposed on social networks.
A few days ago, David Beckham shared a new series of photos where he poses with his beloved daughter. Once again, the former athlete does not hesitate to give him a kiss on the mouth to show his affection. “Dad and Princess Leia had a nice walk this morning,” he wrote in the caption of the post, which sparked a lot of reactions. Internet users were indeed very shocked to see the father of the family kissing his daughter in this way.
“I think Harper is uncomfortable in the second photo…and I noticed she looked embarrassed in another older kissing photo…After that it’s my instinct”, “It’s wrong to kissing his daughter”, “It’s sexual and bordering on pedophile behavior” can we read among the reactions.
Fortunately, Victoria Beckham’s husband was defended by a handful of Internet users who spoke: “I’ve been giving my mom and dad kisses on the mouth forever, it’s normal in my world,” “The fact that you have such thoughts says more about you than David. It is a father who kisses his daughter because he loves her. […] It’s you pervs, “I’m 30 and I keep kissing my parents on the mouth when I say goodbye and I’m definitely not going to stop because strangers on the internet don’t get it”.
We note that this is not the first time that David Beckham has been criticized after kissing his daughter on the mouth. In 2017 already, he had already reacted to a similar controversy: “I got slammed for kissing my daughter on the mouth the other day. I kiss all my kids on the mouth. Well, maybe not Brooklyn. He’s 18 and he might find it weird. But i am very affectionate with my children. that’s how i was raised and that’s how we are, victoria and i. we want to show our children that we love them, that we protect them and that we are here for them. them. We give them a lot of affection” he said.
