Marc Anthony has broken his silence onthe Beckham family feudafter his name came up amid the drama.
The 57-year-old singer is a close friend of the Beckham family, and Brooklynnamed him in his brutal statementattacking his parents — David and Victoria — when referencing his 2022 wedding to Nicola Peltz.
Anthony called the Beckham family feud "unfortunate."
"They're a wonderful, wonderful family," Anthonytold the Hollywood Reporterin an interview published Monday. "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," he added.
In Brooklyn's shocking public statement he shared via Instagram Stories in January, he claimed his mom "hijacked" his first dance with Peltz at their wedding reception and then "danced very inappropriately" on him, leaving him "uncomfortable" and "humiliated."
"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," Brooklyn wrote.
A source later told Page Six that the moment in question wasnot the couple's very first dance, but happened after they, their family and other guests had already been dancing for a while — when Anthony took the stage to perform.
The Grammy-winning singer was apparently supposed to introduce Brooklyn, 26, and Peltz, 31, who would then dance on a specially built stage.

"It was meant to be the big romantic first dance," a second wedding insider told us. "It was pre-determined specifically for Nicola and Brooklyn."
Instead, Anthonycalled Brooklyn up to dance with "the most beautiful woman in the room"— not the new bride, but Victoria.
The first guest told Page Six that Victoria "got up on stage and wrapped her arms around Brooklyn" and "nuzzled into his neck."
"She was dancing with him very inappropriately. She took that moment from Nicola, that is the God's truth."
The guest added, "Nicola ran out crying. The Beckhams' side of the room was cheering and the Peltz side was quiet."
In Brooklyn's statement, he noted that he did not want to reconcile with his family.
Since then, his siblings — Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14 — haveput on a united frontsupporting their parents.
Romeo unveiledhis new tattoo on the back of his neckreading "family" on Sunday, a pointed choice after Brooklyn's decision tocover up his right arm tattoo dedicated to his dadas well asthe ink on his fingersonce dedicated to his siblings.
