What they’re saying

“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.”

“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 my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead. She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I've never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.”

“There was no slut-dropping, there was no black PVC catsuit, there was no Spice Girl action. What it was [and] why I said it was inappropriate, as well, was because ... it was the timing. Marc Anthony was performing onstage. He then called Brooklyn onto the stage [who] went onto the stage where everyone's expecting it to be Nicola to go up and do the first dance, then Marc Anthony asks 'the most beautifulest woman in the room' to come to the stage and then he says, 'Victoria.'”
