Rebecca Loos Said She Was ‘Used’ by World-Famous Footballer Who Is Finally Shedding Light on His Alleged Affair

• David Beckham and Victoria Beckham's marriage was rocked by an alleged affair 20 years ago.
• David's personal assistant, Rebecca Loos, claimed the former athlete had an affair with her.
• Twenty years later, David and Victoria have spoken about the impact of the alleged affair on them.

David Beckham and his wife, Victoria Beckham, are a power couple. The two met in 1997, and a year later, they got engaged. The couple's fairytale wedding took place on July 4, 1999, at Luttrellstown Castle outside of Dublin, Ireland.

David and Victoria have been blessed with four kids, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper. Ever since they got together, the couple's relationship has been under intense scrutiny. Their union has also survived a lot, including affair rumors that once plagued their marriage.

In 2004, Rebecca Loos, David's personal aid, claimed she had an affair with the former footballer and that they had sex fewer than half a dozen times. In her tell-all interview, Rebecca called David a "generous" lover who knew what she wanted and gave it to her.

Still, Rebecca claimed that on one occasion, David made her feel "really cheap" and "used." The former personal aid also said David wasn't her type of guy and that she felt nothing for him. Rebecca, who didn't date people for looks or publicity, said it took a while for her to feel attracted to David.

The alleged affair rocked the couple's marriage, and they were soon against each other.

The alleged affair between David and Rebecca is said to have happened in Madrid when Victoria was in England. Rebecca suggested that David was lonely because Victoria was away, addig that her intention was never to break up David's and Victoria's marriage or a family with young children.

Victoria and David only had two kids by then. And while Rebecca said she hoped David and his wife would get through the affair, she also noted that their marriage already had problems before she had an affair with David.

Victoria and David presented a strong front when news of the alleged affair broke out. The former athlete released a statement saying he was happily married and with special kids and that no third party would change those facts.

Twenty years after news of the alleged affair broke, Victoria and David, who are still together, have spoken out about the impact it had on them.

Impact of the Alleged Affair on Victoria and David

Victoria and David spoke out about the impact of the alleged affair on the former footballer's Netflix documentary "Beckham," released on October 4, 2023. The fashion designer admitted that the time when the alleged affair came to light was the hardest period for her and David. "It felt like the world was against us," she elaborated.

The alleged affair rocked the couple's marriage, and they were soon against each other. David referred to the alleged affair as "horrible stories" that were difficult for him and his wife to deal with. "It was the first time that me and Victoria had been put in that kind of pressure in our marriage," he narrated.

Still, the 48-year-old admitted that 2003 was a hard year for him because he was separated from his family when he moved to a new country to play for Real Madrid. Victoria agreed that before her husband started playing for Real Madrid, they were together and connected and could fight battles the world threw at them as a team.

Before Real Madrid, it was David and Victoria against the world, but after they moved to Spain, the two didn't feel like they had each other's back. "I can't even begin to tell you how hard it was and how it affected me," she added.

David said he and his wife were drowning at that time, and because Victoria meant everything to him, to see her hurting was incredibly difficult for him. The alleged affair also made Victoria start to resent her husband. "It was probably, if I am being honest, the most unhappy I have ever been in my entire life," she admitted.

David was equally devastated. He didn't know how he could continue working as if nothing was wrong. "I felt physically sick every day when I opened my eyes," he continued. However, David knew he and his wife had to fight for each other, themselves, their kids, and their marriage. The couple fought and thrived in their marriage and have been together for 24 years.

Following the release of the documentary, fans have applauded David and Victoria for coming out of the allegations "stronger and united." A fan said the two didn't deserve what happened to them, while another wished the couple "happiness with their family." Many others applauded them for handling such challenges with grace and class.

David and Victoria's romance started over 20 years ago, and despite the challenges, the two have stuck by each other's side. They are not only raising amazing kids; through it all, they have supported each other's careers and love one another.
