David Beckham’s former personal assistant Rebecca Loos made explosive claims about an alleged affair between herself and the footballer which threatened his marriage with Victoria
David and Victoria Beckham’s fairytale romance almost came crumbling down when the footballer was hit with affair claims.
The England star was swept up in accusations he had an affair with personal assistant Rebecca Loos in 2004 while he was playing for Real Madrid. David, who was also hit with allegations of affairs with other women, described the claims as “ludicrous” at the time. While Rebecca described herself as David’s “second wife” and made a number of TV and public appearances after making the allegations.
She appeared on the likes of The Farm, Extreme Celebrity Detox, Temptation Island and The X Factor : Battle of the Stars, as well as appearing on the cover of Playboy. The now mum-of-two has since gone on to wed Sven Christjar Skaiaa, who she met while filming 71 Degrees North. However, she claimed she had an affair with David after working as his personal assistant and detailed the reported romance to News of the World.
Rebecca told Sky that David was an “amazing lover” and that they “couldn’t keep their hands off each other”. She said: “We were just locked into each other all night conversation-wise, other people noticed⦠we just connected. I think the chemistry between David and I was so strong⦠people were aware and they weren’t very happy. He knows how to please.” She claimed they first slept together after they “connected” on a night out with friends, and said they had been sexting up until two weeks before the story came out.
