What has Rebecca Loos said about her alleged affair with David Beckham?

She shared her story with the now-defunct News of The World and Sky News. While appearing on Sky News, Rebecca told the broadcaster David was an "amazing lover" and went onto describe the first time they got together.

"We were just locked into each other all night conversation-wise, other people noticed… we just connected," she said. "I think the chemistry between David and I was so strong… people were aware and they weren’t very happy."

At the time David denied all allegations, calling them "ludicrous" and said he was in a "happy marriage".

Now in 2023, as part of his new documentary Beckham, David has addressed the allegations again, saying there were some "horrible stories" being printed about him at the time which really impacted his marriage to Victoria.

"Erm… there were some horrible stories that were difficult to, erm, deal with. It was the first time that me and Victoria had been put under that kind of pressure in our marriage," he explained. "I don't know how we got through it, in all honestly. Victoria is everything to me, to see her hurt was incredibly difficult, but we're fighters and at that time we needed to fight for each other, we needed to fight for our family."

Victoria added it was the "hardest period" of their marriage as it felt like the "world was against" them.

Where is Rebecca Loos now?

Following the allegations she made against David, Rebecca went onto become a reality star.
