David Beckham puts a protective arm around daughter Harper in Venice
Sweet moment: David put a protective arm around his youngest child as they made memories together
They’re enjoying a ‘special’ holiday together in Venice and David Beckham showed the strength of his bond with daughter Harper on Sunday when they took a taxi boat ride together.
David, 47, put a protective arm around his little girl, 10, as they took in the sights of the beautiful surroundings.
Harper was sporting pigtails and David carried her novelty straw hat in hand, making sure it didn’t blow away – after he shared a video of his youngest pulling strings which made the characters ears go up and down.
Every inch the doting dad, David kept a watchful eye on Harper as she stepped on board, giving her the best seat on the boat as she sat atop a comfortable looking cushion.
He looked naturally dapper wearing a crisp blue shirt with the buttons open and the sleeves rolled up and a slick pair of brown trousers.
The sportsman showed off his multiple inkings and wore designer sunglasses, carrying an enormous Hermes Birkin black leather bag in hand which would have set him back tens of thousands of pounds.
The trip so far, largely shared on David’s social media has seen the footballer and his daughter enjoying gondola rides, visiting the Fenice theatre and tucking into 9am gelatos.
David had captioned the early morning clip: ‘Ssssssshhhhhhh don’t tell mummy 9am Gelato. Sorry mummy @victoriabeckham. Creating special memories with #HarperSeven’.
There has been no sign of David’s other children – Brooklyn, 23, Romeo, 19, and Cruz, 17 – whom he shares with wife Victoria, 48, on the trip.
The sportsman did however make an appearance on his wife’s Instagram as Victoria, also 48, shared a glam picture of David and Harper suited and booted.
The duo beamed while standing by a large doorway in their finery while the fashion designer snapped a pictured.
She wrote: ‘This picture melts my heart. Special time with the best daddy in the world x. Mummy loves you both so much. You are my everything @davidbeckham kisses #harperseven’.
On Monday night, Harper wore a £1,600 pink and purple ballgown from Zimmermann to attend the Riva event at the Fenice theatre as her father’s plus one.
