David and Victoria Beckham chose to highlight their positive memories with their son, Brooklyn, amid ongoing tensions between the family.
The 50-year-old soccer star took to Instagram on Friday, January 23, and commented on the post of British photographer Platon, who had shared a wholesome anecdote about when he had to do a photo shoot with the Beckham family.
The photographer shared how he saw the star athlete prioritize his children above all else, as indicated by the tattoos of his children’s names on his back, shown in the image.
Reacting to the nostalgic post, David wrote: “Good memories,” while Victoria agreed, writing: “Brings back great memories!” in another comment.
In the caption, Plato paid tribute to him being a great father and concluded his caption by saying, “Celebrity comes at a high price, and often it is family members who pay too.”
While many social media users applauded David and Victoria’s story and dedication to their family, several seemed to think the timing of the post was strange, given the recent headlines Brooklyn made after she released her statement.
One such comment read: “I think it makes Brooklyn’s point. ‘Performative social media’ posts and limiting damage to the brand always come first, even if it affects the well-being of your children. Very sad.”
Another agreed: “This whole thing seems like a very carefully curated PR project…” and “Is this story meant to deny or refute the pain Brooklyn is currently experiencing with her parents? I’m with Brooklyn,” chimed in a third.
