Cover David Beckham may be the one of the world’s most successful football players but at home, he’s very much a hands-on Dad

World-renowned footballer David Beckham is not just a cultural icon and fashion gamechanger, he's also the poster boy for modern fatherhood

“Being present with your child, that’s the greatest gift that you can give to any child, your attention,” David Beckham once said in an #EarlyMomentsMatter campaign for Unicef, of which he has been a goodwill ambassador since 2005. It’s no secret that he often honours his children–Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper–calling them his “biggest success and biggest love”.

The Beckhams are one of the world’s sweetest families, known for their close bonds and affectionate relationships, and Beckham has never shied away from showing off his love for his children. He’s often seen goofing around with his sons at sporting events, snuggling up to his daughter Harper or holding her hand when they walk out in public, or suiting up in matching outfits with Brooklyn for the red carpet. Indeed, his greatest achievement will always be his four children.

Here, we look at 10 of his most “Aww”-inducing Dad moments.
