American singer and actor Marc Anthony has publicly addressed his involvement in the ongoing Beckham family feud, after being named in a recent statement from Brooklyn Beckham. The musician, who is godfather to Cruz Beckham, has broken his silence on the matter during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
Defending Close Friends
Speaking candidly about the situation, Marc Anthony expressed his unwavering support for long-time friends David and Victoria Beckham. He emphasised his deep connection to the family, stating he has known them since before their children were born and maintains a particularly close bond with them.
"I have nothing to say about what's happening with the family," Anthony told the publication. "They're a wonderful, wonderful family. I'm really close to the family. But 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."
Wedding Day Allegations
The controversy stems from Brooklyn Beckham's recent statement where he accused his mother Victoria of ruining his wedding day to wife Nicola Peltz. The eldest Beckham son specifically mentioned Marc Anthony's involvement in the incident that allegedly occurred during his first dance.
Brooklyn claimed that during his wedding reception with 500 guests present, Marc Anthony called him to the stage where his romantic dance with his wife was scheduled. Instead of dancing with Nicola, Brooklyn found his mother waiting to dance with him instead.
"She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone," Brooklyn stated in his shocking revelation. "I've never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life."
Family Reactions
Neither David nor Victoria Beckham have publicly responded to their son's bold statement about the wedding incident. Meanwhile, other family members have shown their positions through different means.
Romeo Beckham has remained silent on the matter but recently revealed a new 'family tattoo' on the back of his neck, which many interpret as showing support for his parents. Cruz Beckham has reportedly reached out to his older brother Brooklyn in an attempt to mediate the family tensions.
Nicola Peltz's father, billionaire Nelson Peltz, briefly commented on the situation, saying: "My daughter and the Beckhams are a whole other story and that's not for coverage here today. I'll tell you my daughter is great, my son-in-law Brooklyn is great and I look forward to them having a long, happy marriage together."
Broader Context
The Beckham family drama continues to unfold amid other family-related developments. Recent weeks have seen:
- Cruz Beckham's relationship with girlfriend Jackie Apostel gaining public attention
- Speculation about a potential Spice Girls reunion tour in 2026

Marc Anthony's decision to speak out represents a significant development in the ongoing family narrative, though he carefully avoided delving into specific details while making his support for the Beckham parents abundantly clear.
