Marc Anthony has spoken out for the first time after being dragged into a bombshell feud claiming Victoria Beckham ‘hijacked’ her son’s wedding.
The Latin singer and actor, 57, has addressed Brooklyn Beckham’s scathing six-page Instagram statement, which alleged that his mum ‘humiliated’ him in front of everyone.
In January, a friend of Victoria claimed that she has ‘nothing to apologise for’ after being ‘vilified for that dance for almost four years now’.
Now, however, Anthony described the ongoing feud as ‘extremely unfortunate’ and said the way it has played out is ‘hardly the truth’.
Appearing on This Morning, DJ Fat Tony, who played at the infamous wedding, said that Marc called Victoria onto the stage when everyone was expecting him to do his first dance with his wife.
The move reportedly left Brooklyn ‘devastated’ while Nicola left the room crying her eyes out.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter in an exclusive interview, Marc said: ‘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.’
He added: ‘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.’
Following Brooklyn’s statement last month, which appeared to show him sever ties with his famous parents, Marc became a viral sensation online.
Writing on Instagram, Brooklyn claimed that his parents had been ‘trying to ruin’ his relationship with his wife Nicola and were controlling him ‘for most of my life.’
Despite the drama of the wedding dance fiasco continuing, David seemed to show support for the singer.
A longtime friend of the family, Marc shared a post with his 13.9million followers, promoting his upcoming Las Vegas residency.
‘New vibes coming your way 😎’, his caption read, the accompanying photos showing him donning a suave suit and shades.
Sir David liked the post, which was uploaded just hours after Fat Tony’s revelations on daytime TV. Son Romeo Beckham also liked it.
This comes after a source exclusively told Metro that David is ‘obviously heartbroken’ after Brooklyn covered up a tattoo dedicated to his dad.
Brooklyn had an anchor on his arm with the word ‘dad’ written in the middle, which new pictures show has been covered up.
‘David is obviously heartbroken over Brooklyn’s decision to cover up his tribute to him,’ our source shared. ‘It feels like a deep cut, even after everything that was said in his statement.
The family are known for their tattoo collections, with plenty of dedications to each other over the years.
In his memoir, Sir David said his inkings were an ‘expression of how he feels about Victoria and the kids’.
He has all the kids names written on his body, including Brooklyn in large lettering on his lower back and ‘we love you daddy’ in his children’s handwriting.
One of the most visible is Brooklyn’s nickname ‘Buster’ in small lettering on his neck with a heart next to it.
Our source confirmed: ‘David still has his tribute to Brooklyn, his nickname Buster on his neck, and has no plans to cover it up.’
