David and Harper Beckham are proof that you’re never too old to sit on your daddy’s knee
David Beckham Shares Adorable Backstage Moment with Daughter Harper at Victoria’s Paris Fashion Week Show
David Beckham melted hearts as he shared a touching backstage photo with his daughter Harper at his wife Victoria Beckham’s Paris Fashion Week presentation. The Beckham clan came together on Friday to cheer Victoria on during her highly anticipated runway show in the French capital — with the exception of their eldest son, Brooklyn.
The 50-year-old former football star took to Instagram to post a series of behind-the-scenes pictures from the day, including a heartfelt message celebrating Victoria’s achievements. Among the collection was a particularly sweet image of 14-year-old Harper sitting on his lap, carefully applying makeup before the show began.
Beaming with pride, David captioned the photo: “Still not too old to do her makeup on Daddy’s knee before the show ❤️ Love you @harperbeckham.”
He then shared a lengthy tribute to his wife, 51, praising her leadership and creativity: “Saying we’re proud doesn’t even begin to cover it. Watching you pull everything together once again with such elegance, precision, and discipline is truly inspiring. You and your team should know how extraordinary this is… It’s special because your team adore and respect you — that’s what true leadership looks like. Congratulations once again, you’re incredible. And having Knight Rider as the opener? Iconic. @victoriabeckham.”
David wasn’t the only one to show support online. Sons Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 20, both shared tributes to their mum on social media. Cruz posted a snapshot from the show with the caption, “So proud of you mum,” while Romeo uploaded a picture with Harper, tagging Victoria and writing, “Soooooo good @victoriabeckham.”
Meanwhile, Brooklyn, 26, was noticeably missing from the festivities. He has not been photographed with the family since December of last year, amid reports that he is “no longer on speaking terms” with his parents and siblings. Instead of attending the event, Brooklyn focused on promoting his own business. On Wednesday, he was spotted out in Los Angeles wearing a custom Cloud 23 T-shirt to advertise his hot sauce brand.
Victoria, clearly moved by her family’s presence, shared her own front-row photo on Instagram, featuring David seated next to fashion icon Anna Wintour, with Harper on his other side beside Romeo and Cruz, who brought his girlfriend Jackie Apostel. The designer wrote simply, “I love you all so much… I couldn’t do it without you! xx.”
In a rare public display of affection, Victoria ended the night by pulling David in for a passionate kiss, smiling brightly as the show wrapped — a notable shift from her usually composed, serious demeanor. For the occasion, she wore a loose-fitting grey suit over a low-cut white top, exuding understated elegance.
