Even global superstar David Beckham isn’t spared from the ’embarrassing dad’ phase! Despite his illustrious career and iconic status, he recently experienced a relatable parent-teen moment with his daughter Harper. During a school drop-off, Harper asked her dad to stop a bit before the gates, leaving David a bit “heartbroken.”
Victoria Beckham shared this charming anecdote, recalling her own school days when she’d ask her dad to drop her off in a less flashy vehicle. It seems Harper, much like her mum once, is reaching that typical stage of growing up where parents can sometimes be a little too much!
David, known to be super soft on Harper, was faced with the reality that even the coolest dad with a glittering past in football can fall short in the eyes of his children. After all, if being David Beckham isn’t ‘cool’ enough, what chance do the rest of us have?
Harper, just like her big brothers Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz, holds a special spot in David’s heart. He’s said before that having a daughter changes everything and that he just can’t say no to his little princess. We imagine Harper, now the typical teenager, still beams with pride knowing her dad is everyone’s favourite football legend, even if she doesn’t flaunt it at school!
Every parent knows the bittersweet feeling of seeing their child grow up, and for the Beckhams, the journey is sprinkled with as many heartfelt family moments as glitzy celeb ones. Isn’t it comforting to know that even David Beckham isn’t immune to the whims of teenage coolness?
