David and Victoria Beckham chose to highlight their positive memories with their son, Brooklyn, amid ongoing family tensions.
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 healthy anecdote from when he had to do a photo shoot with the Beckham family.
The photographer shared how he saw that the star athlete prioritized his children above all else, as evidenced by the tattoos of his sons’ names on his back, shown in the photo.
Responding to the nostalgic post, David wrote: “Good memories,” while Victoria agreed, writing: “Brings back good memories!” in another comment.
In the caption, Platon paid tribute to being a great dad and ended his caption with, “fame comes with a high price and often it’s family members who pay as well.”
While many social media users applauded the story and David and Victoria’s dedication to their family, several found the timing of the post odd given the recent headlines Brooklyn has made since he released his statement.
One such comment read: “Proves Brooklyn’s point I think. ‘Performative social media’ posts and damage limitation for the brand always come first even if it affects their children’s well being. Very sad.”
Another agreed: “It all says it feels like a very carefully curated PR project…,” and “Is this story meant to dismiss or refute the pain Brooklyn is currently experiencing with her parents? I stand with Brooklyn,” read a third.
