“It’s Extremely Unfortunate How It’s Playing Out” — Marc Anthony Breaks Silence After Being Named in Brooklyn Beckham’s Bombshell Statement
Marc Anthony has finally spoken out after his name unexpectedly surfaced in the middle of the growing storm surrounding Brooklyn Beckham and his famous family. The music icon, known for keeping his private life away from public drama, addressed the situation with a tone of disappointment and restraint, calling the entire episode “extremely unfortunate.”
Marc Anthony has broken his silence after finding himself dragged into the Beckham family fallout. Last month, Brooklyn Beckham made headlines after releasing a bombshell statement in which he accused his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, of controlling narratives in the press and trying to “ruin” his relationship with his wife, Nicola Peltz.
The 26-year-old former photographer also claimed that his mother Victoria “danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone” at his 2022 wedding to Nicola, after Marc called him to the stage.
Later in January, DJ Fat Tony, who attended the nuptials, gave his account during an interview on ITV’s This Morning. The DJ revealed that singer and actor, Marc Anthony, told Brooklyn to put his hands on his mother’s hips after calling Victoria to join her son on the stage.
“Marc then asks the most beautiful woman in the room to come to the stage, and it’s Victoria,” he revealed.
“Of course, at that point, Brooklyn is devastated,” continued the DJ. “Nicola leaves the room, crying her eyes out.

In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Marc said that the Beckham’s are a “wonderful, wonderful family” and said the situation was “extremely unfortunate”.
I have nothing to say about what’s happening with the family,” said the 57-year-old. “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.”

“I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private,” he said.

“I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life,” he wrote, before going on to claim that his parents have been “trying endlessly to ruin” his relationship with Nicola and that his mother Victoria backed out of making his wife’s wedding dress at “the eleventh hour”.
