“Why is He Doing That?” David Beckham and His 13-Year-Old Daughter Spark Controversy

Public reactions to David Beckham’s affectionate gestures toward his daughter Harper continue to stir debate. This incident has sparked discussions online, with some defending his parenting style, while others find such displays uncomfortable. Despite facing criticism in the past for kissing his children on the lips, Beckham maintains that it is simply a natural expression of love in his family.

The moment, captured in a Paris Match clip from January 30, has recently gained attention and discussion.

Reactions to the video were mixed. Some viewers questioned the gesture, with comments like, “That's kind of weird,” and “Daughter?” Others defended Beckham, arguing that the criticism was misplaced.

One person wrote, “Why do people always think the worse off someone. That’s his daughter. He loves her. Leave him alone,” while another added, “He still sees her as his little girl.”

People continued to defend David, saying, “He obviously loves his daughter, but he has to remember she is a young woman now not a little girl, but probably will always be a little girl to him,” “Once a dad. Always a dad,” and, “He loves that girl. Such a sweet dad.”

Some, however, pointed to Harper’s reaction, suggesting it spoke for itself.

Fans were quick to point out Harper's reaction, commenting, "“Dad please don’t embarrass me,” they grow up so fast," "She's like, “Dad, don't embarrass me.” Love it, nothing wrong with showing affection to your children, no matter how old they are!" "Why is he doing that?"

One person even found the situation very familiar, saying, "My kid does the exact same thing."

This is not the first time people have reacted to such behavior.

David Beckham has always been known as a devoted family man, often sharing heartwarming moments with his children. Over the years, he has expressed his love and affection for them in many ways, whether through social media posts, public outings, or simply being present in their lives. As a father of four, Beckham has spoken about the importance of being close to his kids and making them feel supported, no matter how busy his career gets.

David is regularly criticized for showing his emotions. Recently, the family attended a game where photographers captured the moment when he tried to kiss Harper, and she made a funny face. The photo ignited reactions from people, and opinions were divided. While many found the devoted dad's gesture adorable, others believed that David should give his teen daughter some space.

One person remarked, ''Sorry, David, it's time to back off before you force your loving daughter to speak up, which will undoubtedly cause her much pain.''
Another added, ''I used to cringe every time he kissed her on the lips. Hopefully, now that she's older, she'll keep him at arm's length. He should transfer his affections to the rightful person—his wife!''
A third wrote, ''Creepy! He's all over her.''

David Beckham is not only discussed for his interactions with his children but also for his appearance. Recently, the star was suspected of using Botox.
