In recent months, David Beckham’s alleged affair with his former personal assistant, Rebecca Loos, has resurfaced in the public arena, sparking renewed emotional responses, media scrutiny, and introspective revelations from both Rebecca and Victoria Beckham. Well over twenty years after the initial controversy, the narrative has resurfaced powerfully—and with it, new admissions about the toll it took on everyone involved. Here’s the most up-to-date look, with all the verified details and what they mean now.
What’s New: Loos Doubles Down
In an interview published by People and aired on 60 Minutes Australia on March 30, 2025, Rebecca Loos reaffirmed her claims that she and David Beckham had an affair in 2003, while he was married to Victoria. Loos declared: “I stuck to the truth. I’ve never exaggerated. I never lied about a single thing.”
She described the immense power imbalance she faced, citing the Beckhams’ access to high-level public relations, legal representation, and media influence—contrasting it with her own limited support. Despite the backlash she has received over the years, Loos said she felt compelled to speak out again after watching elements of the story revisited in the Netflix documentary Beckham.
Victoria & David Respond: Through Pain and Resolution
The Beckhams addressed the scandal in their 2023 Netflix docuseries Beckham, with Victoria Beckham describing that time in Spain (when David played for Real Madrid) as “the most unhappy I have ever been in my entire life.”
She admitted that during that period,
> “It felt like the world was against us. … But when we were in Spain, it didn’t really feel like we had each other either.”
David Beckham, meanwhile, acknowledged “horrible stories” and public pressure, saying that the allegations were a strain, though he consistently denied wrongdoing. In the docuseries, he described watching Victoria suffer as “incredibly difficult.”
What Actually Happened (Based on Verified Sources)
Rebecca Loos was David Beckham’s personal assistant in 2003, during his time at Real Madrid.
She alleges the affair lasted four months. Loos claims that Victoria Beckham was out of town when some of the alleged encounters occurred, and that Beckham invited her back to his hotel.
David Beckham has always denied having an affair with Loos, calling allegations “ludicrous.”
Aftermath & Impact
The allegations, whether proved or not, have had lasting repercussions:
Victoria Beckham said that period was “the hardest period” of their marriage. She described feelings of resentment towards David at the time, confessing that she was deeply hurt.
David Beckham has said he felt the media pressure was unprecedented, that the stories were hurtful and difficult.
Rebecca Loos has spoken of her mental health struggles, the stigma she faced, and how the public narrative has, in her view, favored Beckham. She has emphasized that while she regrets nothing about telling her side, the process of being doubted or portrayed as the villain has been deeply painful.
Where Things Stand Now
Rebecca Loos continues to hold her ground, insisting that her version of events is accurate. She has called out Beckham for allegedly portraying himself as the victim and implicitly blaming her for Victoria’s suffering.
David and Victoria Beckham remain married, having weathered this storm among others. In fact, they recently celebrated their 26th wedding anniversary.
The public conversation around this allegation has shifted: partly due to the Netflix docuseries Beckham (2023), partly due to Loos’s repeated appearances in media interviews. Together, these have put additional scrutiny on what was once tabloid fodder.
Reflection: Infidelity, Reputation & Redemption
What this saga reveals—beyond accusations—is how delicate relationships can be under public pressure, how reputation is fiercely guarded, and how private pain becomes collective spectacle. Infidelity (alleged or proven) often leaves wounds that go beyond the parties directly involved: children, spouses, and even third parties like Loos feel the effects for years—emotionally, socially, and psychologically.
Takeaways:
Rebecca Loos insists her story has been consistent for over 20 years.
Victoria Beckham has confirmed that period was deeply unhappy.
Although David denies wrongdoing, the stress and impact on relationships are undeniable.
The affair allegations remain unproven in a legal or formal sense; much of what is known comes via interviews, memoirs, and documentary confessionals.
