Singer Marc Anthony has described the Beckham family rift as extremely unfortunate, but added that the way it has played out is hardly the truth.
The 57-year-old performed at Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham's wedding reception in 2022 and is a close friend of the wider family. However, Brooklyn recently mentioned that the first dance at the wedding made him feel uncomfortable and humiliated, claiming that Anthony called for him to dance with his mother rather than with his wife.
This led Brooklyn to express that his mother danced very inappropriately during the event. The Beckham family, particularly Sir David and Lady Beckham, have yet to comment on the situation.
Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, Anthony explained his longstanding bond with the Beckhams, stating, I have nothing to say about what's happening with the family. They're a wonderful, wonderful family. I've known them since before the kids were born. I'm godfather to Cruz. I'm really close to the family. But I have nothing to say about what happened there.
He further added, It's extremely unfortunate how it's playing out - but [how it's playing out] is hardly the truth.
Brooklyn Beckham had published a six-page statement on Instagram, portraying a significant rift within the family and accusing his parents of attempting to disrupt his marriage with Peltz, reiterating that he does not wish to reconcile.
The wedding DJ Fat Tony, who witnessed the awkward situation, confirmed how uncomfortable it was for those in attendance, noting that the dance incident led to a tumultuous emotional response from Brooklyn's bride.
Despite the fallout, Marc Anthony's comments reflect his loyalty and affection for the Beckham family amidst the unfolding drama.
