In response to the backlash, Beckham has clarified his approach to parenting. He frequently shares moments with his youngest daughter, Harper, who is now 12, highlighting their close bond. Harper was born in 2011, and Beckham and his wife, Victoria, are also proud parents to three sons: Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz.

During a Facebook Live session, Beckham expressed his views on love and family, that they aim to show their kids how much they care. He said, “I got criticized for kissing my daughter on the lips the other day. I kiss all my kids on the lips.”

He acknowledged that Brooklyn might be uncomfortable with it at his age. “Brooklyn, maybe not. <...> he might find that a little bit strange,” he noted. “But 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.”

Concluding his thoughts, Beckham emphasized the importance of love in his family life. While some may see his parenting style as unconventional, Beckham stands by the idea that such displays of affection are simply a wholesome expression of love.

What experts think about kissing kids on their lips.

The practice of parents kissing their children on the lips has stirred controversy among experts, sparking heated debates about its implications. Charlotte Reznick, a licensed child educational psychologist and former UCLA associate clinical professor, weighed in on the trend popularized by celebrity parents like Jamie Oliver, Gino D’Acampo, and Hilary Duff, raising concerns about the potential messages conveyed to children.

Australian clinical psychologist Heather Irvine-Rundle labeled Reznick’s remarks as “an outrageous thing to say to parents,” arguing that such affectionate gestures can be innocent and nurturing rather than problematic. This division among experts highlights the complexity of parenting styles and the varied interpretations of affection in family dynamics.

We would love to hear your thoughts on the best ways parents can express affection to their children, as every family has its own unique approach to love and connection. For more insights on parenting, be sure to explore our collection of reads here.

Um..... I'm about to be 38 and still kiss my mom and dad on the lips. I didn't see the big deal. First day of high school my dad apparently went to my mom shocked and said something along the lines of "She still kisses me goodbye!" He was so happy I didn't stop just because I was in high school and my friends could've seen me kiss my dad. I love my parents and that's just one way I express it. I also kids my daughter on the lips, and she gets mad if I'm rushing to work and forget to give her one, she's currently 9.
