Beckham scandal revisited: Rebecca Loos reignites affair claims
David Beckham has been making headlines for years, not only for his sporting achievements. Stories of his alleged infidelities frequently make front-page news. Now, the issue of his supposed unfaithfulness is resurfacing due to Rebecca Loos, who allegedly had an intimate relationship with the footballer.
Rumours about David Beckham's affairs have often surfaced in the media. These rumours were particularly widespread while Victoria Beckham, his wife, was establishing her career as a designer. Rebecca Loos, his former assistant, revealed several unfavourable details about him. In conversations with the media, she claimed to have had an intimate relationship with the world-class footballer. Even after years, this story continues to appear in the tabloids.
In 2020, the Beckhams celebrated their 21st wedding anniversary, and the media reminded them of the tough times their marriage survived despite the scandals. Rebecca Loos once again appeared on camera, claiming she saw Beckham with another woman at a party in 2003. Beckham has never admitted to any infidelity, emphasizing his commitment to Victoria and his family.
Rebecca Loos, a prominent figure in this story, has, after many years, brought past memories to the surface once more. The Dutchwoman described in vivid detail how she caught Beckham in compromising situations, which she claims prove his infidelity. Loos is currently active as an influencer, raising two children with her husband. Her claims continue to spark discussions around past events in the footballer's life, which she recently addressed again in the podcast Anything Goes With James English.
Journalists were reaching out to me. In the end, I thought, 'This is probably going to come out, it's better it comes from me' and I decided to tell my story. And I naively thought people would appreciate somebody being honest and telling the truth. But people don't. They want to believe the fairytale - she confessed, as quoted by the Norwegian press.
I knew it was going to be big, I didn't realise I'd get as much hatred as I got back then - she stated, adding that she simply wanted to get back at the superstar.
Me going public was a 'f you mate' for treating me like that. Big time. It was. I don't care how powerful you are, how much money you have. It's not OK - the now 47-year-old added.
The Dutchwoman admitted in the podcast that she harbours deep resentment because David did not take responsibility for what supposedly happened.
Beckham, known for his strong commitment to charitable work and media activities, does not let these stories affect his public image. Years later, David prefers not to revisit the scandal. In a recent Netflix documentary, he barely mentioned what happened at the time he became a father for the second time. He talked about "terrible stories that tested his marriage" but did not go into detail.
