Rebecca Loos doubled down on her claims that she slept with David Beckham “just a few times” when she was his personal assistant back in the early aughts.
David Beckham‘s former assistant is standing by her story.
While the former Manchester United player has repeatedly denied ever cheating on his wife Victoria Beckham with Rebecca Loos—who started working for him back in 2003—she doubled down on her claims that she slept with David “a few times.”
“It was a very brave thing to do, to go up against them,” Rebecca told 60 Minutes Australia in an interview that aired March 30. “I have stuck to the truth, I’ve never exaggerated. I never lied about a single thing. Why? Because I’m going up against the strongest, most powerful couple in the media. And all I had on my side was the truth.”
E! News has reached out to David’s reps for comment.
The 47-year-old recalled going to a nightclub with David in 2004 in the months after he moved from Britain to Spain to play for Real Madrid. It was there where she says he invited her back to his hotel room.
“He just kept looking at me and I gave in,” Rebecca alleged. “The way he looks at you…it’s quite hard not to. He’s got a certain charismatic power about him. He’s very good looking and he can easily get what he wants. And he knows it.”
But after photos emerged of her and David chatting in a nightclub and sparked cheating speculation in early 2004, Rebecca—who admitted that their alleged tryst was “naughty”—publicly came forward with her side of the story.
“It’s better that it comes from me and that I have some sort of control,” she explained of her decision to speak to a British tabloid in April 2004. “By doing that, it was a way of me, sort of, not getting back at him but…the way he treated me was very unfair, what he was getting away with, and that two-faced life.”
“I know how much his image means to him,” Rebecca added. “I want him to feel some pain too, I guess.”
For his part, while David has denied the infidelity allegations, he and Victoria—who share children Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 21, Cruz, 19, and Harper, 13—did recently discuss how the media attention around Rebecca’s claims affected their marriage.
“There was some horrible stories that were difficult to deal with,” David explained in Netflix’s 2023 docuseries Beckham. “It was the first time that me and Victoria had been put under that kind of pressure in our marriage.”
“I don’t know how we got through it in all honesty,” he continued. “Victoria’s 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. And what we had was worth fighting for.”
While Rebecca “never” expected the couple to address her allegations on the series, part of her did think that the former soccer star—who wed the former Spice Girls member in 1999—would admit some wrongdoing.

A Posh Engagement
After dating for only a few months, David Beckham and (then) Victoria Adams got engaged in January 1998.
They Do!
In the summer of 1999, the Manchester United footballer and the Spice Girls singer exchanged vows in a castle outside of Dublin. Exclusive photos were sold to OK! Magazine for an undisclosed sum but the couple frequently shares wedding memories on their anniversaries.
Perfect Match
Sparks flew immediately between the pair when they met. “Completely love at first sight. He told me he went home and wrote my [telephone] number on so many other things in case he lost it,” Victoria shared with Elle.
He’s a world-famous soccer player. She’s a member of the Spice Girls and fashion designer. Together, they always get cameras buzzing when they appear on red carpets such as the 2008 ESPY Awards.
The couple shares four children together: Brooklyn, Harper, Romeo and Cruz Beckham.
As the kids grew up in the public eye, both mom and dad always made family nights a priority, such as the premiere of the Spice Girls musical Viva Forever in December 2012.
Despite their busy careers, this couple always makes time for date night. Rewind to the 2014 Met Gala when the pair showed up in matching white outfits.
Couple Goals
“Happy Anniversary to an amazing wife, mummy and strong business woman,” David shared in July 2017 when celebrating their 18th anniversary.
From holidays and birthdays to award shows and anniversaries, these two make it a habit to celebrate life both on and off social media. “Love u so so much @davidbeckham x Thank u for making my birthday so special x The perfect day!! All 6 of us together x kisses x,” Victoria shared on her birthday in 2018.
“We always make time for each other as a couple and as a family. David and I have nothing to prove,” the designer once told Grazia. “We love each other, look out for each other and are strong as both partners and parents.”
“We’re a strong family unit. We’ve got strong parents,” David previously told BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs. “We were brought up with the right values.”
Back in January 2018, the couple showcased their love for fashion while attending a Louis Vuitton show as part of Paris Fashion Week.
While Prince Harry and Meghan Markle received plenty of attention during their 2018 royal wedding, two famous guests also had heads turning for all the right reasons.
Watching the Beckham kids grow up over the decades has been a joy, including seeing Brooklyn join his parents in matching tailored suits at GQ’s Men of the Year Awards in 2019.
Fashionable Fam
Victoria is known for her glam fashion, and brought the whole family (including daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz Beckham) to her Victoria Beckham runway show during Paris Fashion Week in 2022.
Power Couple
In October 2023, the pair attended the premiere of David’s new Netflix documentary, Beckham. “I’m so proud of you … and everything you’ve achieved,” wrote Victoria on Instagram.
Ride or Die
Ever the British gentleman, David carried his wife as they left her 50th birthday celebrations on April 20, 2024. “I still can’t believe how special you made me feel on this evening, on my birthday, this entire week, and all of our magical years together! Thank you. I love you so much!” she swooned via her Instagram Story.
