Public displays of parental affection have put David Beckham in the spotlight again, as the star defends his habit of kissing daughter Harper on the lips. The doting dad, who shares four children with wife Victoria, says physical affection is simply part of their family’s love language.
Facing criticism from some social media users, Beckham remains unfazed. “I was raised to be affectionate, and we’re raising our kids the same way,” he stated. The former athlete frequently shares tender moments with 11-year-old Harper on Instagram, though he’s stopped the lip kisses with adult son Brooklyn.
While parenting experts note potential concerns about teaching boundaries, Beckham focuses on creating a loving environment. “Your children become your whole world,” he reflected, recalling how fatherhood at 23 changed his priorities overnight.
