Marc Anthony 'made jaw-dropping comment' at Brooklyn Beckham's wedding about Victoria
The 'jaw-dropping' comment singer Marc Anthony allegedly made at Brooklyn Beckham's wedding to Nicola Peltz has been revealed.
On Monday (19 January), Brooklyn finally confirmed speculation that he was feuding with his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, blasting the family in a lengthy statement on social media.
Shared across a series of Instagram stories, the 26-year-old accused his parents of 'trying to ruin' his relationship with Nicola, refusing contact and being 'controlled' by the Beckhams 'for most of my life'.
Brooklyn's 2022 wedding to Nicola was central to the statement, seeing him accuse Victoria of pulling out of making her daughter-in-law's wedding dress at 'the eleventh hour' and hijacking the couple's first dance in front of '500 wedding guests', leaving the couple feeling 'uncomfortable'.

Now, further allegations about what went down during the awkward first dance have emerged, with the couple's wedding singer Marc Anthony reportedly playing a role in inflaming tensions.
According to PEOPLE, Grammy Award-winning singer Anthony had called Brooklyn up to the stage before announcing to everyone that he would be dancing with Victoria.
"Marc Anthony, who is a friend of the Beckhams, offered to perform as a gift at the wedding," a source told the outlet.
"Before the song began, Marc Anthony asked Brooklyn to come to the stage, and then announced, 'The most beautiful woman in the room tonight, come on up… Victoria Beckham!'"
Another source went on to call the moment 'jaw-dropping', adding: "It left the whole room in absolute shock–you could hear a pin drop."
Going on to claim the moment left Nicola 'in tears', they continued: "Nicole felt like Victoria did this on purpose, when she knew it was a pre-planned romantic dance meant for Brooklyn and Nicola. What she couldn’t understand was why."
The claims echo those made in Brooklyn's statement, which saw the aspiring chef accuse Victoria of hijacking their first dance.
"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," he wrote.
"She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I've never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life. We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment."
However, these claims appear to have been disputed by other guests who attended the wedding, with The Mirror reporting that sources claimed the incident between Brooklyn and Victoria happened after the first dance.
LADbible Group has approached representatives of Marc Anthony and David and Victoria Beckham for comment.
