David Beckham

There's no denying that both David and Victoria Beckham are affectionate parents; the pair often share heartwarming pictures with them kissing their kids. However, the former footballer has been subjected to criticism after posting an Instagram snap of himself and Harper during an African safari with their family. The snap was simply captioned, "Kiss for daddy," alongside a heart emoji.

"I got actually criticised for kissing my daughter on the lips the other day," he said during a Facebook Live a few years ago. "I kiss all my kids on the lips. Brooklyn, maybe not. Brooklyn's 18, he might find that a little bit strange."

He added: "But I'm very affectionate with the kids. It's how I was brought up and Victoria, and it's how we are with our children. We want to show our kids love and we protect them, look after them, and support them, and we're very affectionate with them." Here, David is pictured kissing son Romeo's head during the 2018 Invictus Games.

Gorka Marquez

This Strictly pro has relished spending every moment of lockdown with his girlfriend Gemma Atkinson and their baby daughter Mia. The lovebirds met on the set of Strictly back in 2017 but kept their romance under wraps until the series ended. Unusually for the show's love stories, they weren't dance partners - Gemma was coupled with Aljaz and Gorka danced with Alexandra Burke. Two years on, the gorgeous couple are still going strong and welcomed daughter Mia on 4 July 2019.
