David Beckham kisses daughter Harper during cute little break after irritating fans

David Beckham has shared a sweet snap in which he lovingly kisses his daughter on the cheek as they visited New York City – despite complaints in the past about his affections.

David Beckham has risked upsetting the Internet police again by planting a kiss on daughter Harper’s cheek in a Christmas snap he shared on Instagram.

Former Manchester United star Becks treated his youngest to a festive trip to New York City earlier this week with the pair enjoying an ice skating session and a climb to

the top of the famous Rockefeller Center tower where they gazed out over Central Park.

Beckham shared further snaps with Harper, 12, as they visited Katz’s Delicatessen for a “mile-high sandwich” before the former showed a sweet sign of affection as the duo wrapped up warm in the winter sun.

It appears David has chosen to ignore past criticisms after several images over the years of him kissing the youngster on the lips caused a backlash amongst his followers.

The star was labelled “weird” and “disgusting” by some for doing so in 2018, but was vehemently defended by others who hailed the “importance of showing affection” towards your children.

Five years on, in pictures which Becks captioned, “Fun few days in NYC #HarperSeven”, there appears to be no such negativity though with scores of the stars 86 million followers gushing over their daddy-daughter bond.

One fan declared: “Setting the bar high @davidbeckham and love it 🙂 this is how every day should be with their baby girls having a man that shows what real love is.”
