Victoria Beckham and David Beckham are said to be very grateful to Marc Anthony for stepping in to defend them after Brooklyn Beckham made several allegations against them.
An insider has revealed that the fashion designer and former football icon spoke to Marc after he publicly addressed the situation.
Rob Shuter quoted a source close to Beckhams and claimed that the couple told the singer that his words brought them comfort without attacking anyone.
After Brooklyn accused his parents of controlling his life and how Victoria hijacked his first dance with Nicola Peltz at their wedding, Marc told Hollywood reporter, “I have no say in what happens to the family.
“They are a wonderful, wonderful family,” he added. ‘I’ve known them since before the children were born. I’m Cruz’s godfather.
“I have a very good relationship with the family. But I have no say in what happened there. It is extremely unfortunate how it is playing out – but [how it’s playing out] is hardly the truth.”
An insider said that while Victoria and David “hate that Marc was dragged into this,” they are grateful he spoke out in their favor.
“He’s been a friend of the family for a long time. He didn’t deserve to be involved in a very personal mess,” the insider said, adding that “they felt vindicated. Not because Marc attacked anyone, but because he told people to slow down.”
“This was never about a dance,” the insider continued. “It’s about deeper issues, and Marc became collateral damage.”
“They never thought it would turn into this,” the source said of the couple’s reaction to the explosive social media post in Brooklyn. “Especially not at Marc’s expense.”
