David Beckham kisses daughter Harper on the lips AGAIN, defending as parental affection
David Beckham recently shared a video on social media, depicting a tender moment with his daughter Harper, aged 12. The video was captured during Paris Fashion Week, where the father-daughter duo were preparing for Victoria Beckham’s fashion show. In the video, Harper can be seen applying make-up to her father, while he affectionately kisses her on the lips. The Beckhams have long been the subject of public scrutiny regarding their displays of affection, with David’s actions often dividing opinion. Despite this, he has consistently remained steadfast in his approach.
The group has traveled to Paris to attend Victoria’s third Paris Fashion Week show. Prior to the event, the father-daughter pair were spotted leaving their hotel in eye-catching attire. David sported socks and sandals while Harper donned heels. David, who is also a father to Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz, was compelled to justify his actions in 2017, asserting that he and his wife Victoria are consistently affectionate towards their four children.
The sports star responded to his critics during a Facebook Live session on his official page while visiting Bangkok. He emphasized that he kisses all of his children on the lips, except for his eldest son Brooklyn. While some people praised previous images of him kissing his children as beautiful and indicative of a close bond, others expressed disgust. David expressed confusion over the strong reaction and explained that he is affectionate with his children, as that is how he and his wife Victoria were raised.
He emphasized that they want to show their children love, protect them, and provide support. David also expressed his deep appreciation for being a father, stating that it is the most special thing in the world. It is worth noting that Victoria has also shared photos of herself kissing Harper in the past. In January of last year, David faced criticism again after sharing a photo of himself kissing a 10-year-old Harper on the lips.

As observed in previous comments from fans, followers expressed their opinions in the comments section regarding the photographs. Some individuals praised the images as ‘beautiful’ and defended the star, while others argued that she was too old for such a gesture.
Critics took to the comments section to express their disapproval, stating, “She is now a grown woman, and it is time for you to cease kissing her on the lips. It is inappropriate to kiss your daughter in such a manner. Victoria, please advise her to refrain from doing this. It is not acceptable.”
Another critic expressed their viewpoint, saying, “I understand that it is acceptable for a father and daughter to express love, but in my opinion, kissing one’s daughter on the mouth is a bit peculiar and does not serve as a clear example of promoting love. There are many other ways to demonstrate affection. I apologize, but that is my perspective.”
Despite the reservations expressed by some, there were others who were more supportive of the gesture. Fans wrote, “The photographs are beautiful! However, we can anticipate the strange comments from individuals who believe it is inappropriate to kiss one’s child on the lips. Please disregard them; this is completely normal.”
One fan even shared their personal experience, stating, “You would despise me and my children. My son is 17, and my daughter is 16, and I kiss them on the lips. They are my children! What is your problem? You are the only one with that peculiar opinion.”
