Marc Anthony Breaks Silence After Being Dragged Into Brooklyn Peltz Beckham Drama

American singer Marc Anthony has spoken out for the first time after finding himself at the centre of headlines surrounding the current Beckham family drama.

Following months of rumours about a supposed family feud, Brooklyn Peltz Beckham shared a statement on social media last month in which he confirmed he was no longer on speaking terms with his famous parents, Sir David and Victoria Beckham, and had no plans to reconcile.

In addition to accusing his mother and father of “controlling” and “performative” behaviour his whole life, Brooklyn also spoke about an alleged incident that took place at his wedding to Nicola Peltz Beckham in 2022.

According to Brooklyn, his famous mum “hijacked” his first dance, after being introduced to the stage by family friend Marc Anthony, one of the reception’s performers.

It had been previously been reported that Marc introduced Victoria as “the most beautiful woman in the room tonight”, which was subsequently corroborated by the DJ “Fat Tony”, who also performed that evening.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter as part of an interview published on Monday, the four-time Grammy winner insisted he had “nothing to say about what’s happening” within the Beckham family.

“They’re a wonderful, wonderful family,” he continued. “I’ve known them since before the kids were born. I’m godfather to Cruz. I’m really close to the family.”

He added: “I have nothing to say about what happened there. It’s extremely unfortunate how it’s playing out – but [how it’s playing out] is hardly the truth.”

“Fat Tony” previously claimed that Nicola had left the room “crying her eyes out” after Victoria was introduced as the “most beautiful woman in the room”, while Brooklyn himself said that the ensuing dance left him “more uncomfortable or humiliated” than he’d ever felt in his “entire life”.

Neither Sir David nor Victoria Beckham has spoken out about Brooklyn’s Instagram posts about them, and did respond to HuffPost UK’s requests for comment last month.
