Photographer Honors Beckham's Privacy in Tender Family Scene

In 2006, photographer Platon Antoniou visited David Beckham in Madrid, where he was playing for Real Madrid. During a photoshoot, David's family, including Victoria Beckham and their sons Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz, visited the studio. Antoniou witnessed a spontaneous, private family hug on the set, which he chose not to photograph, valuing their privacy over a potential image.

Victoria Beckham later thanked Antoniou for his discretion, emphasizing her desire to be seen as a mother, not a celebrity. Antoniou ultimately photographed David Beckham alone, focusing on the tattoos of his children on his back. This recollection resurfaced amidst reports of ongoing tension between Brooklyn Beckham and his parents, with sources suggesting David and Victoria are seeking to mend the relationship.
