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.

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.
