David Beckham was criticized for often kissing his daughter on the lips, and had to face

David Beckham has reignited a debate about the “appropriateness” of kissing his 10-year-old daughter on the lips with a recent Instagram photo.

On Friday, the football star, 46, who has faced criticism on a number of occasions for kissing his daughter, posted photos from a recent walk the pair shared.

Daddy & Princess Leia had a lovely walk this morning,” Beckham captioned two photos of himself and daughter Harper, including one in which the father-daughter duo can be seen giving each other a peck on the lips.

Despite wearing a somewhat humourous expression in the photo, which suggests that Beckham was aware what the response to the kiss would be, many individuals took to the comments to share their discomfort with the athlete’s affection.

“Why do you kiss your daughter on the lips? It’s weird and inappropriate,” one person commented, while another said: “Although this is very sweet, please do not kiss your daughter on the lips.”
