"What a great dad 👏," a third added, while a fourth wrote, "Every girl needs a dad like this, I actually shed a tear."

"Absolutely heartmelting to watch. What a superb father and role model," someone else wrote.

"Just fell in love with David Beckham all over again," another said.

Others didn't agree with the kiss, with one user writing, "Beautiful daddy daughter bond but a kiss on the lips doesn’t look right. She is a young lady now not a toddler."

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."
