Some didn't think David's makeup was 'manly', however, he's previously made it clear that he doesn't care what the haters think.

It's not the first time the sportsman has been faced with criticism for kissing his children on the lips, with many saying they are 'too old' for this type of gesture.

In a Facebook Live in 2017, David defended his decision, saying he and Victoria are "always very affectionate" towards their four children, including their three sons: Brooklyn, 24, Romeo, 21, and Cruz, 18.

"I kiss all my kids on the lips. Brooklyn maybe not..." David said of his then 18-year-old son, adding Brooklyn "might find that a little strange".

"But I'm very affectionate with the kids," he added. "It's how I was brought up – and Victoria – and it's how we are with our children."

"We want to show our kids love and we protect them, look after them and support them."
