David Beckham and Harper Beckham’s kiss causes controversy

David Beckham received immense backlash when he shared an adorable video of himself and his 12-year-old daughter Harper getting ready for Paris Fashion Week.

The video shows Harper applying powder on her daddy’s face with a pink brush as Taylor Swift’s song Style plays in the background.

The father-daughter duo were getting ready for mommy Victoria Beckham‘s fashion week show. As young Beckham powered her father’s face, the athlete enjoyed the music and they both sang along.

”Swiftie” was written across the video.

After Harper finished working on her dad’s face, she leaned down for a peck on the lips. While some fans thought it was a lovely moment, others thought it was pretty strange.

One person wrote,

“Beautiful daddy daughter bond but a kiss on the lips doesn’t look right. She is a young lady now not a toddler,”

Others thought it was a sweet moment and slammed those who criticized the family.
