Another added: “Adore your family, but never understood those parents’ kisses on the lips. Still the best family.”
A third said: “Don’t kiss baby on lips!”
However, others were quick to defend the star.
Hitting back at the comments, one said: “Never understood parents not kissing their children on the lips… how odd that would be!!”
A second stated: “It’s his child who he loves and adores. It’s affection. Pure and simple.”
Another wrote: “I don’t get it’s an issue. It’s a beautiful moment spoilt by narrow minds and minds that see something different to what it is.”
David’s previous kissing drama
It certainly isn’t the first time David has sparked criticism for kissing the youngster on the lips.
Following a previous dad and daughter photo, Piers Morgan called David “weird”.

Speaking on Good Morning Britain, he said: “I’m sorry but this is just weird – who does that with their kids?
“Who would kiss their kids on the lips?”
His co-star Susanna Reid hit back: “People’s parents still kiss people on the lips.”
Criticising David for sharing the photo in the first place, Piers added: “They want their kids to be famous and then they complain about their privacy.”
David’s new business venture
Meanwhile, last month, it was reported the former Manchester United star has been keeping himself busy at his Cotswolds estate by setting up his own beehive.
A source says he’s so hooked on the hobby, he’d like to make a business out of it.
An insider told The Scottish Sun: “Beekeeping started as a fun hobby early in lockdown.
“But now David has become a bit obsessed. He has all the gear, and even built a hive. He finds it a total antidote to his mad London and Miami life.”
