Doting dads Jay-Z and David Beckham have both recently won a legion of fans with their sweet displays of affection for their young daughters – who have very differing takes on their famous fathers’ behavior.
Jay-Z, 52, brought his 10-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, as his date to the NBA Finals game in San Francisco on Monday – and fans couldn’t get enough of the father-daughter duo’s adorable antics.
However, the record-breaking artist suffered from an embarrassing dad moment when he tried to hug and kiss Blue, whom he shares with his wife, Beyoncé, 40, during the match – but she was not here for the PDA and awkwardly pulled away from him.
