David Beckham has sent a public message to Marc Anthony after the singer was drawn into David and Victoria’s fallout with their son Brooklyn.
Sir David, 50, has been a longtime friend of singer Marc’s – with it being claimed the Beckham’s friendship with Marc began over their love of his music. Their bond dates back years as Marc is the godfather of Cruz and Harper Beckham, while David is also a godfather to Marc’s son Marquitos.
However, Marc’s friendship with Sir and Lady Victoria was recently called into question after Brooklyn mentioned Marc, 57, in his bombshell statement hitting out at his parents and their alleged behaviour towards his wife Nicola Petlz. In the statement, Brooklyn claimed his mum Victoria, 51, “hijacked” his first dance with his bride during his 2022 wedding.

Brooklyn said in the bombshell Instagram story post: “My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song.
“In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead. She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone.” He added: “I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.”
Marc was performing at Brooklyn and Nicola’s 2022 Palm Beach, Florida wedding when the awkward moment occurred, in which it was also claimed the Latin singer had called Brooklyn to the stage before asking for “the most beautiful woman in the room” to join the groom, before naming Victoria. Marc’s inclusion in the statement left fans wondering about the state of his relationship with Brooklyn and the Beckhams.

But, it now appears that Marc and David remain on good terms as the former professional footballer left a supportive comment to Marc and his family on a recent Instagram post, in which Marc revealed he and his wife Nadia Ferreira are expecting a child together – which is Marc’s eighth child.
The Instagram post shows Nadia, 26, showing off her blossoming bump while she clutches it with one hand and Marc rests his hand on their bump and their eldest child, Marquito, rests a hand on his mum’s tummy also. In the caption, Marc penned: “Happy 3rd anniversary!! What a great gift life gives us. God is great Marquito is going to be a big brother.”
The top comment comes from Marc’s longtime pal Sir David, who penned: “Soooooo excited” followed by a red heart emoji before he tagged both Marc and Nadia. David’s move outs to bed any whispers of tension between himself and Marc.
It comes after reports that Marc’s gaffes at Brooklyn and Nicola’s wedding, in which he was asked to perform, were threefold. First he gave a speech saying that the bride and groom would be lucky to enjoy a marriage like Victoria and David’s – something that apparently enraged Nicola’s parents, who have been married since the 1980s, and have eight children.
Then he called Victoria to the stage for the mother-son dance – something Nicola has apparently been dead set against. The Beckham side of the family apparently cheered throughout the dance while the Peltzes sat in stony silence. His moves have since been analysed by a psychologist, who believes Marc had been trying to gain some power back for his friends – as it’s been claimed there was tension brewing between the Peltzes and the Beckhams in the lead-up to the wedding.
Psychologist Alex Iszatt said: “”Marc Anthony’s behaviour usually happens when someone feels comfortable enough to take control, not when they’re carefully reading the room. “If his connection was mainly with the Beckhams, he’d naturally act on instinct, putting them first and not really thinking about how it might land with the bride’s family.”
She continued, “People with status who are used to being indulged often assume their involvement will be welcome and don’t stop to check whether they should. Changing a song or taking over a key moment can feel justified to them because they see themselves as adding something special, not disrupting it.”
