Marc Anthony Reacts to Brooklyn Beckham Family Feud

by

Marc Anthony is finally giving his thoughts on the Beckham family drama. 

Singer Enrique Iglesias sparked some talk recently when Brooklyn Beckham claimed his mother, Victoria Beckham, danced suggestively with him at his 2022 wedding to Nicola Peltz. Iglesias performed at the event, and the moment became a topic of discussion.

Marc expressed his disappointment with how the situation between Brooklyn and his parents, Victoria and David Beckham, is being portrayed, telling The Hollywood Reporter on February 9th that the public narrative isn’t accurate.

Despite calling the Beckhams – including Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14 – a “wonderful family,” the 57-year-old declined to comment on the events that caused the family disagreement.

Marc added that he’s known the family for a long time—even before their children were born. He’s also Cruz’s godfather and considers them very close friends.

Oh my gosh, you will NOT believe this! Marc was there at Brooklyn and Nicola’s wedding, which Brooklyn actually talked about when he was finally opening up about everything going on with his family. It’s like, the wedding was a huge part of why he’s finally speaking out – it’s all so connected! I’ve been following this drama for ages and this is HUGE.

Brooklyn shared on Instagram that his mother unexpectedly interrupted his first dance at his wedding. He had planned to dance with his wife to a romantic song in front of their 500 guests, but instead, his mother was brought on stage by Marc Anthony and ended up dancing with him.

Cloud23’s founder claims Victoria, 51, danced inappropriately on him in public, leaving him feeling embarrassed and uncomfortable.

DJ Fat Tony (also known as Tony Marnoch) – a wedding guest and performer – backed up Brooklyn’s version of what happened.

He explained on ITV in January that Brooklyn was really upset because he believed he would share his first dance with his wife. Apparently, Nicola left the room in tears right after.

He remembered a moment where Marc Anthony playfully told someone to put their hands on their mother’s hips during a dance. It was a culturally specific gesture, and the whole thing ended up feeling really uncomfortable for everyone present.

And this is hardly the first time the dance between Brooklyn and Victoria has been discussed.

According to a source who spoke with TopMob News in May, Brooklyn and Nicola believed Marc Anthony was going to perform their first dance as a gift.

I was so excited when Marc Anthony announced, ‘Please welcome to the stage the most beautiful woman in the room…Victoria Beckham!’ It was such a moment! But honestly, it sounded like Brooklyn was a little caught off guard and didn’t quite know how to react – poor guy seemed a bit awkward in that situation.

The insider noted that guests were shocked and “Nicola left the room crying.”

Eventually, she returned and was able to regain her composure, allowing her to enjoy the rest of her wedding.

For a deep dive into all the details surrounding the Beckham family drama, keep reading.

While there wasn’t a formal requirement, many people expected Nicola Peltz Beckham to wear a wedding dress designed by her future mother-in-law, Victoria Beckham, when she married Brooklyn Beckham in April 2022. The wedding took place at Nicola’s family’s estate in Palm Beach, Florida.

So when she didn’t, going with Valentino Couture instead… Bad blood alert!

Nicola remained silent about the issue for months, but eventually confirmed there wasn’t any major conflict regarding a dress. She did hint at some disappointment, though, because she wasn’t able to wear a custom dress designed by Victoria Beckham.

In August 2022, Nicola told Variety that she had initially planned to wear a dress by this designer and was excited about it. However, a few months later, the designer informed her that their workshop couldn’t actually create the dress in time. This meant Nicola had to choose a different one. She clarified that the designer never forbade her from wearing it, and she never expressed unwillingness to do so. The media then took this situation and created a narrative around it.

Brooklyn shared that she’s realized people will always attempt to be negative or critical, but thankfully, everyone on set gets along well.

Speaking to Grazia the following month, Nicola called the Beckhams “great in-laws.”

Okay, so Victoria finally addressed the wedding, and honestly, I was losing it waiting for her to say something! She usually ignores all the gossip, but she called the Peltz-Beckham wedding ‘a beautiful wedding’! It’s not much, but it’s EVERYTHING, you guys! I’ve been refreshing social media non-stop, and that little comment just made my week. It’s so good to know she approves, even if she’s typically so private about these things.

“Seeing my son this happy is incredibly rewarding,” she shared on TODAY that October. “You can’t ask for anything more than that.”

Tom Cruise and all four of Victoria Beckham’s former Spice Girls bandmates attended her lavish 50th birthday celebration on April 20, 2024, though her daughter-in-law was unable to make it.

Nicola shared on Instagram that she was visiting her grandmother, who sadly passed away less than a month later.

Nicola shared a birthday message for Victoria Beckham on Instagram, saying she was sad to miss the celebration and sending lots of love from her and her niece. She posted, “Happy birthday to my beautiful mil @victoriabeckham i’m so sad i’m not there to celebrate you and hug you. Sending all my love from me and my naunni. I miss you all so much!” She had also previously wished Victoria a happy birthday on April 17th, posting a photo of them together with the caption, “i love you so much and love being your dance partner forever.”

Naunni’s death deeply affected Nicola, and many others shared their grief. On May 16th, Brooklyn posted a heartfelt tribute on Instagram, expressing disbelief that a year had passed since Naunni’s passing. They remembered Naunni’s joyful spirit and ability to bring laughter, sharing how much they missed and loved her. Brooklyn also expressed sadness that their future children wouldn’t have the chance to know Naunni, describing her as a unique and irreplaceable person who was missed every day.

In a June 2024 interview with InStyle, Brooklyn reflected on his upbringing – growing up with a famous football player for a father and a Spice Girl for a mother – and said he felt very happy during his “crazy childhood.”

He admitted things were busy, but said he had amazing parents and really enjoyed himself.

Brooklyn and Nicola spent some of the 2024 holidays with Nicola’s family, the Peltzes. Photos shared by David Beckham, Victoria, Brooklyn, and Nicola showed the entire Beckham family enjoying time together in the present, making it clear everyone was united during the season.

Victoria shared a series of photos celebrating the holidays with her family, writing, ‘Being together makes me so happy, I love you all so much!’ She also tagged each of her children and her daughter-in-law in the post.

It’s unclear why, but Brooklyn and Nicola weren’t in any of the pictures David Beckham’s parents shared from his 50th birthday party in London this May.

Okay, so I’m hearing from my sources that this couple actually jetted off to England instead of hitting the Met Gala! Apparently, they were really hoping to catch up with David and celebrate his birthday while they were over there – either during the week or over the weekend. It sounds like family time was a bigger priority this year, which I totally get!

According to a source who spoke with People magazine, Brooklyn Beckham decided against going to David’s party because he didn’t want to encounter his brother Romeo’s girlfriend at the time, DJ Kim Turnbull. Turnbull had been increasingly present at family events, such as the Victoria Beckham show during Paris Fashion Week in March 2025, ever since Romeo and Kim began dating publicly in November 2024.

Okay, so there’s been a lot of chatter online about why Brooklyn Beckham missed his dad’s party, and people were wondering if it had something to do with Kim. Well, I just saw that Brooklyn’s younger brother, Cruz, actually jumped in to clear things up! He said, pretty directly, that Brooklyn and Kim were never dating. It’s good to see family setting the record straight, honestly!

TopMob News reported in June 2025 that Romeo and Kim have split up, suggesting a possible reconnection between Romeo and his brother could be on the horizon.

The wedding is facing more drama, as the couple’s first dance didn’t go as planned, and the reason why is still a mystery.

According to a source who spoke with TopMob News in May 2025, Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz expected Marc Anthony to perform their first dance. However, Anthony surprised everyone by announcing, “Please welcome to the stage the most beautiful woman in the room—Victoria Beckham.” This left Brooklyn feeling unsure and put him in an uncomfortable spot.

Nicola briefly left the wedding reception in tears, but she returned and was able to compose herself to enjoy the rest of the celebration.

While the situation was upsetting, it didn’t stop David from being a best man at Marc’s wedding to Nadia Ferreira in January 2023. However, it’s easy to see why Nadia might have been more affected by it.

According to a source, Brooklyn and Nicola have genuinely tried to build a relationship with his family over the years, but things are currently strained.

In a May 2025 Instagram post, Brooklyn affectionately called Nicola his “whole world.” He expressed his deep love for her, writing, “I always choose you, baby. You’re the most amazing person I know, and we’ll be together forever.”

When accusations arise, those accused usually hire lawyers. The recent story about Nicola being upset at her wedding three years ago might be a sign of further issues to come.

After reports surfaced that Brooklyn and Nicola had hired a lawyer previously known for working with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, a source confirmed to TopMob News that the couple does have legal representation, but it’s not related to managing their public image.

Okay, so here’s the scoop – I’m hearing that they’ve brought in Jenny Afi, a lawyer from the firm Schillings, to really clarify things and push back against any false information that’s been circulating. It’s all about getting the truth out there and correcting the record, you know?

Although the law firm represents the Sussexes – and their 2018 wedding included David and Victoria Beckham among the guests – a source confirmed there’s no connection to Meghan and Harry in this particular situation. The source emphasized that Schillings is a well-regarded firm with many different clients.

The source pointed out that this situation perfectly illustrates why it’s important to have a lawyer – to correct false information and ensure the truth is known.

Neither Brooklyn nor Nicola publicly acknowledged David receiving his knighthood in November 2025. They were also missing from the celebration when David’s team, Inter Miami CF, won the MLS Cup in December – only Victoria, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper were there to cheer the victory.

In late December 2025, after people observed that David and Victoria Beckham weren’t following Brooklyn on Instagram, their son Cruz clarified that his parents hadn’t blocked him on social media.

He denied the claims on Instagram Stories, stating, “My parents would never unfollow me.” He clarified that both he and his parents were unexpectedly blocked from seeing each other’s accounts, and asked people to verify the correct information.

Brooklyn Beckham chose to spend Christmas 2025 with his wife Nicola’s family, including her parents Claudia Heffner Peltz and Nelson Peltz, rather than with his own family. His younger brother, Cruz, stayed home for the holidays with their parents.

David recently shared a year-in-review, posting photos with family and friends from 2025. Notably absent from the pictures were his oldest son and Nicola, Brooklyn’s wife, fueling speculation about a family disagreement.

An hour later, David posted old photos of himself with each of his and Victoria’s children, captioning a black-and-white picture with Brooklyn, “I love you all so much.”

In January 2026, Brooklyn posted a detailed statement on Instagram explaining his difficult relationship with his family.

He stated he doesn’t want to make amends with his family. He explained that he’s asserting his independence and finally prioritizing his own needs, something he hasn’t done before.

In a recent post, Brooklyn accused his parents of manipulating the media to control the family’s public image. He also claimed they prioritize the “Beckham brand” over everything else and have actively tried to sabotage his relationship with Nicola.

He mentioned struggling with anxiety throughout his life, but says he now feels peaceful and relieved since creating distance from his family.
