David Beckham had a wide beam on his face as he attended a soccer game with Harper, the 12-year-old daughter he shares with his wife, Victoria Beckham.
Photographs from Saturday night’s Inter Miami CF game captured the doting father enjoying his day out with the pre-teen as they watched his team play against St. Louis City SC in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
His teenage son, Cruz, was also present at the game and cheering his father’s team on.
Inter Miami did not take home a win that night and drew the match at 3-3. Nevertheless, Lionel Messi broke the record during the match as the fastest player to reach 25 goal contributions in a season in his 12th game with Inter Miami.
“Didn’t get the 3 points we wanted but I have this little one by my side,” the 49-year-old soccer legend wrote on Instagram, sharing a cute picture of himself with his daughter.

After photos from the game went viral, many online gushed about the sweet relationship the Inter Miami co-founder enjoys with his daughter.
“She seems nice, and he seems like a fantastic father,” said one comment, as quoted by Bright Side.
“I love how adored she is by her father. Must be nice being the youngest girl with 3 older brothers,” another said.
However, some trolls online mocked the former athlete for the way he showed affection to his child.
“Beckham needs to realize that his daughter is growing fast. He cannot hug her the same way he did when she was 5,” one said, while another wrote, “Cringeworthy pictures… she looks about 18, it looks totally inappropriate.”
“Thought they was a couple,” said another.

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 sparked widespread discussions.
“She is a big girl now time for you to stop kissing her on the lips. Bad to kiss your daughter,” one fan insisted after the ex-soccer player shared a picture of himself kissing his daughter during a walk in the park in 2022.
