Marc Anthony has finally spoken about the public dispute involving the Beckhams, after becoming unintentionally involved in the situation.
The renowned Latin artist, age 57, publicly commented three weeks after Brooklyn Beckham, 26, released a critical six-page statement on Instagram announcing his estrangement from his parents, David, 50, and Victoria Beckham, 51.
Brooklyn Beckham said his mother, Victoria, unexpectedly interrupted his first dance with his wife, Nicola Peltz, at their 2022 wedding. He explained that while singer Anthony was bringing him on stage, Anthony announced Victoria would be his dance partner instead.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Anthony called the continuing conflict ‘very unfortunate’ and stated that the public portrayal of events ‘isn’t accurate’.
Honestly, I don’t want to get involved in all the drama with his family, it’s just… messy. They’ve always been amazing to me, truly wonderful people. I’ve known them forever, practically since before the kids even arrived! It means so much to me that I got to be godfather to Cruz, he’s such a great kid, and Brooklyn’s little brother. I just want everyone to be happy, you know?
He said he’s very close to the family, but doesn’t want to comment on what occurred. He expressed sadness about how things are unfolding, but insists the current narrative isn’t accurate.
Anthony became a viral meme sensation after he was named in Brooklyn’s statement last month.
In a series of Instagram stories, Brooklyn accused his parents of attempting to sabotage his relationship with Nicola and of having controlled him throughout much of his life.
Brooklyn said that Anthony unexpectedly brought him on stage at the wedding, and then asked Victoria to dance with him, taking over a special moment that Brooklyn and Nicola had carefully arranged.
According to reports, Anthony surprised guests by inviting Victoria Beckham – whom he called ‘the most beautiful woman in the room’ – to sit with him instead of his new wife, Nicola. This unexpected move left attendees shocked.
Honestly, watching Anthony dance to that love song just broke my heart for Nicola. She was absolutely devastated and I saw her rush off stage, completely in tears. It was really tough to watch.
According to DJ Fat Tony, who played at the wedding, Nicola’s family confronted her and Brooklyn, leaving him visibly embarrassed. He then went to find his wife after an uncomfortable dance performance.
Honestly, as a big pop culture fan, I wasn’t shocked to see the internet explode after the Beckham wedding news! Everyone immediately jumped on Jennifer Lopez’s ex and turned him into a hilarious meme – it was a total roasting session, and people had a lot to say about his involvement.
A popular online post featured a clip of Joe Biden appearing surprised, with the caption joking that he was reacting to the controversy surrounding Brooklyn Beckham, similar to how Marc Anthony seemingly reacted to drama involving him.
Honestly, someone finally said it! Like, hello?! You’re at a wedding – the most beautiful woman there is obviously the bride! It’s just common sense, people! It shouldn’t even need to be said, but I’m so glad someone pointed it out. It’s the bride’s day, and she deserves to be celebrated as the most beautiful woman there, period!
‘No shade to Marc Anthony, but four marriages in, you should know better. You broke protocol.’
A fan commented that Marc Anthony, having been married four times, surely understands the tradition of not having the mother of the groom as the first dance partner.
Someone else wondered if Marc Anthony could share the details of what went on at Brooklyn Beckham’s wedding.
The Beckhams are known for their impressive group of friends, including celebrities like Eva Longoria and Elton John, as well as royalty – and their son, Anthony, is a key part of that inner circle.
He’s been friends with the family for years, and David and Victoria apparently connected with him through their shared appreciation of his music.
The three friends frequently support each other at public events, such as when David unexpectedly appeared to celebrate Marc receiving his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2023.
David is also godfather to Marc’s son, Marquitos.
Brooklyn publicly criticized his mother, saying her dancing at his wedding was inappropriate.
My wife and I had planned a special first dance to a romantic song, but my mum unexpectedly took over. During the reception, with 500 guests watching, Marc Anthony invited me onstage for our dance – only to find my mum waiting to dance with me instead!
She danced suggestively on me in public, and it was incredibly embarrassing and made me feel deeply uncomfortable. It was the most humiliating experience of my life.
He explained they wanted to renew their vows to make fresh, happy memories of their wedding day, unlike the stress and awkwardness they felt the first time around. They’re planning the renewal for August 2025, three years after their original wedding in Palm Beach in April 2022.
Brooklyn also said that in the weeks leading up to the wedding, his parents kept pressuring him and even offered him money to give up the rights to his name, which would have impacted him, his spouse, and any children they might have.
He explained they insisted he sign the agreement before his wedding, as that would start the deal’s official process.
‘My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since.’
Nicola’s billionaire father Nelson has also broken his silence on the Beckham feud.
The 83-year-old business leader discussed his family issues during a question-and-answer session at the WSJD Invest Live event in West Palm Beach on Tuesday.
Nelson mentioned his daughter and the Beckhams are a personal matter he won’t discuss today. He did say he thinks his daughter and her husband, Brooklyn Beckham, are wonderful and hopes they have a lasting and joyful marriage.
