David Beckham Only Has One Child He Doesn’t Kiss on the Lips

Kissing kids on the lips often stirs up controversy and discussions. Many parents, including famous figures like David Beckham, continue to share pictures of themselves giving their children lip kisses despite the criticism they face. Some argue that this practice is a harmless way to express love and affection for their kids, underlining the strong parent-child bond. Despite criticism, David Beckham believes kissing your children on the lips is an innocent way to show how much you love them.

It’s his way of expressing love.

The ex-Manchester United player received backlash from certain fans when he posted a picture of himself kissing his daughter on the lips. Nevertheless, he remains steadfast in his belief that this is a pure and affectionate way to show love for one’s child.

“I’m very affectionate with the kids. It’s how I was brought up and Victoria, and it’s how we are with our children,” he said. “We want to show our kids love, and you know, we’re very affectionate with them,” he added.

He’s affectionate with his fans, too.

In 2001, at the Adidas Stockport base, excited young football fans eagerly awaited Beckham’s arrival for the launch of a special school football initiative. Among them was eight-year-old Georginia Tuck, who admired Beckham’s style and skills. When Beckham arrived, the children’s faces lit up with joy, and Georginia’s eyes sparkled with anticipation. The football ambassador’s friendly smile and kiss made a lasting memory, showing how heroes can make young fans happy. This act showed that sports can unite different generations and inspire young fans like Georginia.

He kisses all his children on the lips except for one.

Beckham has regularly shared selfies on his Instagram account, featuring warm kisses on the lips with his daughter Harper. He has stated that he shares this loving gesture with nearly all his kids.

“I got criticized for kissing my daughter on the lips. I kiss all my kids on the lips. Brooklyn, maybe not. Brooklyn’s 18, he might find that a little bit strange,” he previously shared.

He always puts his kids first.

Beckham became a father at a young age of 23. Despite his successful career and demanding schedule, he consistently prioritizes his family and ensures he makes time for them.

“I think you mature quicker with kids. You have more important things in life to worry about than your everyday worries, and life becomes all about the kids. I think that’s what you learn as a father, you become less important, and it’s all about your children,” he said.

He admits parenting isn’t easy.

Beckham was very sad when his daughter Harper asked him not to take her to school. The famous ex-footballer felt uneasy because his daughter was embarrassed when he dropped her off at school. “She said, ’Daddy, can you drop me a little bit away from the school.’ Firstly, he was heartbroken. She’s our youngest daughter, and already this is happening,” Victoria Beckham shared.

Just like David Beckham, many celebrities often share pictures of themselves kissing their children on the lips, but psychologists issue a warning against it. They caution that kissing a child on the lips may confuse their sense of personal boundaries and even encourage them to engage in similar behavior with other adults.
