Claims around Brooklyn Peltz Beckham’s feud with his family are “hardly the truth”, a singer at his wedding to Nicola Peltz has said.
Marc Anthony was dragged into Peltz Beckham’s disagreements with his parents, Sir David Beckham and Lady Beckham, when, on Jan 23, DJ Fat Tony told ITV’s This Morning that the singer asked for “the most beautiful woman in the room” to come to the stage at the wedding.
Guests were said to have believed it was for Peltz’s first dance with Peltz Beckham, but instead Lady Beckham was then called to the stage and asked to dance with her son, prompting Peltz to leave the room in tears.
Now in an interview with US outlet The Hollywood Reporter, Anthony 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.
“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.”

Peltz Beckham announced in a social media post in January that he did not want to “reconcile” with his family, having accused his parents of prioritising “Brand Beckham” over all else and controlling narratives in the press.
In the posts, he claimed his mother “hijacked” his first dance at his wedding with an “inappropriate” display that left him “uncomfortable and humiliated”.
He also accused his parents of “trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped”.

Speaking on This Morning, the DJ, who performed at the wedding, said: “What it was, was – and why I said it was inappropriate as well – was because it was the timing. What happened was, basically, Marc Anthony was performing on stage, he then called Brooklyn onto the stage.
“Brooklyn went onto the stage, and the next minute everyone’s expecting it to be Nicola to go up and do the first dance, and then Marc asked for the most beautiful woman in the room to come to the stage – and then he says, ‘Victoria, come to the stage’.
“So Victoria is by the stage, she goes onto the stage, and of course, at that point, Brooklyn is literally devastated because he thought he was going to do his first dance with his wife, then Nicola leaves the room crying her eyes out.
“Brooklyn is stuck there on stage, and they do this dance, and Marc Anthony says ‘put your hands on your mother’s hips’ and it was a Latin thing, and the whole situation was really awkward for everyone in the room.”
