However, an observer countered: “I just love the way they go about their lives not really giving a damn what the world thinks or says! Love this family.”

A separate individual chimed in: “Ah come on guys – they’re all adorable and compared to families with that kind of high life, actually massively down to earth. Good luck to them xx.”

The backlash follows a previous controversy involving David and his daughter during a football (soccer) game in July.

Photographs from an Inter Miami CF game captured the doting football star enjoying his day out with Harper as they watched his team play against St. Louis City SC in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA.

After photos from the game went viral, many online gushed about the sweet relationship the Inter Miami co-founder enjoys with his daughter.

However, some trolls online mocked the former athlete for the way he showed affection to his child, as a person commented: “Beckham needs to realize that his daughter is growing fast. He cannot hug her the same way he did when she was 5.”

The father-of-four sparked headlines on different occasions in the past for not holding back when it comes to smothering his children with love.

Pictures of him kissing Harper on the lips have particularly ignited concerns, as someone on social media criticized: “She is a big girl now time for you to stop kissing her on the lips. Bad to kiss your daughter.”

What do you think about the appropriateness of the pink satin gown Harper Beckham wore?
