He shared a photo with his 14 million followers, showcasing Ferreira’s baby bump with their hands-and those of their two-year-old son, Marco-resting gently upon it.
“Happy 3rd anniversary!! What a great gift life gives us. God is great. Marquito is going to be a big brother,” Ferreira captioned the joint post. Among the many well-wishers was David Beckham, 50, who simply wrote, “Soooooo excited.”
A Longstanding Friendship
Beckham and his wife, Victoria, 51, have maintained a friendship with Anthony-who was married to Jennifer Lopez from 2004 to 2014-for many years, reportedly since at least 2008, after publicly expressing their admiration for his music. David surprised Anthony in 2023 when he was honored on the hollywood Walk of Fame.
The connection between the families runs deep; Anthony is godfather to both Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14, while Beckham holds the same role for Anthony’s son, Marco. This closeness was further demonstrated when Anthony performed at Brooklyn’s 2022 wedding to Nicola Peltz.
Accusations Surface Amid Family Fallout
However, Anthony now finds himself at the center of accusations regarding the escalating tensions within the beckham family. Brooklyn, 26, recently stated he didn’t want to “reconcile” with his parents, and has publicly detailed grievances.
One of Brooklyn’s accusations centers around his wedding. according to The U.S. Sun, Brooklyn claims that Marc Anthony was asked to make a speech at the wedding, and then used the possibility to seemingly favor Victoria over Nicola. “He started talking about how amazing Victoria was and how she was the only one who really understood him,” a source told the publication. “Then he said, ‘Victoria, you’re the most gorgeous woman in the room.’ It was incredibly awkward.”
Tony added that Brooklyn appeared “devastated” and nicola,now 31,left the room “crying her eyes out.” According to Brooklyn, this was just one instance of his parents allegedly attempting to “ruin” his relationship with his wife.
