Celebrities are no strangers to having their parenting criticized. In fact, the more they choose to share with followers, the more they'll get opinions from naysayers who swear they're doing something wrong. This level of criticism can understandably get to a person, but some celebrities have gotten good at letting the trolls roll off their backs. One of them is David Beckham.
The Beckhams are all-around family goals where most are concerned. Both parents share a fair amount with their followers, including photos of their four children, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper. But a recent photo David posted with Harper sparked intense criticism and debate.
In the photo, the 43-year-old former soccer star is kissing his 7-year-old daughter on the lips, which some people believe to be inappropriate. Even those who don't entirely disagree with it hinted that the Beckhams should refrain from posting such photos if they don't want to deal with the criticism.
David and Victoria Beckham have a beautiful family.
The couple, who have been married for almost two decades, share four children.
Their kids are growing up fast! Brooklyn is 19, Romeo is 16, Cruz is 13, and Harper is 7.
The two appear to be very hands-on parents, spending plenty of time with their kids.
David recently posted the above picture of his ice-skating date with Harper.
Some people were vocal about the image making them uncomfortable.
Others flat-out said that this is an improper show of affection between a father and daughter.
But fans of the Beckham family were quick to rush to their defense and say this is perfectly normal behavior.
Many people grew up in households where they kissed their parents on the lips, and they see nothing wrong with it.
This isn't the first time a photo of the two was deemed controversial. David got a similar reaction for the above post, shared last year.
Again, people felt it was improper for him to be kissing the little girl on the lips.
Those who defend the Beckhams pointed out that it's strange for people to be so bothered by images that they certainly don't have to look at.
Whatever your opinion on the kisses are, it's clear that Harper is a happy, loved child.
The Beckhams are no strangers to rumor and criticism. But we're sure they'll continue loving their children in whatever manner they see fit.
