Former assistant Rebecca Loos has reignited decades-old rumors surrounding an alleged affair with football icon David Beckham, creating a fresh wave of media scrutiny. This comes as Loos, now 47, revisits claims initially made public in 2004, alleging a romantic connection with Beckham, 49, during his time playing for Real Madrid.
Rebecca Loos’s Renewed David Beckham Affair Allegations
Rebecca Loos’s connection with David Beckham began when she became his personal assistant shortly after his high-profile transfer to Real Madrid in 2003. Just a year later, in a bombshell interview with Kay Burley on Sky News, Loos first publicly spoke about a supposed affair between her and the then-married football superstar. Beckham has consistently and vehemently denied these allegations since they first surfaced.
In her initial 2004 interview, Loos described a palpable attraction and growing bond with Beckham. She recounted:
-
“There was an obvious attraction.”
-
“We spent a lot of time together. We just bonded.”
-
“We think the same way, made the same jokes, had some kind of connection.”
-
“He treated me in a special way. Always made sure I was looked after. I began to feel very special.”
Loos detailed a specific night, September 18th, as a turning point in their alleged relationship. After a dinner with a group, she claimed a deeper connection formed.
“That night we just really hit it off,” Loos explained. “It was the first time, we were just locked into each other all night conversation wise. We just connected. People noticed it.”
Victoria Beckham’s “Hardest Period” and Loos’s New Interview
The fallout from Loos’s initial claims was immense, placing intense pressure on the Beckham family, particularly David’s wife, Victoria Beckham. Victoria, now 50, openly discussed the devastating impact of these accusations in the 2023 Netflix docuseries ‘Beckham.’ She described this period as the “hardest period” of their marriage, revealing the strain it placed on their relationship.
Victoria Beckham shared her perspective in the docuseries:
-
“It felt like the world was against us.”
-
“We were against each other… Up until Madrid sometimes it felt like us against everybody else but we were together, we were connected, we had each other.”
Over two decades later, Rebecca Loos is now reiterating her story. In a new interview airing on Sunday with 60 Minutes Australia, she has “doubled down” on her original claims, bringing the long-dormant affair allegations back into the public eye. This renewed attention is sure to once again put the Beckham family under intense media scrutiny.
Loos defended her decision to speak out again, asserting her truthfulness and bravery in challenging such a powerful couple:
-
“In my opinion, it was a very brave thing to do to go up against them,” said Loos.
-
“I have stuck to the truth. I’ve never exaggerated. I never lied about a single thing.”
-
“Because I’m going up against the strongest, most powerful couple in the media who have all the money in the world for the best PR, the best lawyers. And all I had on my side was the truth.”
Currently, Rebecca Loos, who is related to journalist Piers Morgan as his second cousin, resides in Norway with her two children. As of this report, SPORTbible has reached out to David Beckham’s representatives for comment on these renewed allegations.
