Rebecca Loos used to be a Dutch model and media personality. Back in 2004, she claimed that she had an affair with footballer David Beckham while she was working as a personal assistant. This came as a shock to many and that’s when she gained public attention. Recently Netflix released a docuseries named Beckham, which takes us through the life and career of David and Victoria Beckham.
This series again brings our attention to their alleged affair. Rebecca stated that their relationship was for four months when David was playing for Real Madrid and Victoria was living in the UK with their two sons. Although David always claimed these accusations to be false, the release of this docuseries brings their alleged past again in front of us.

Rebecca Loos Career
Television
Loos had an appearance on the Celebrity Love Island reality television program on the ITV network in 2005. For the television show Power Lesbian UK that same year, Loos participated in a fake wedding ceremony with American fashion model Jenny Shimizu in opposition to American laws prohibiting same-sex unions.
The title of the American program was Power Lesbians on Logo TV. Following that, the two dated for a while. Loos has acknowledged that she is bisexual and “has been ever since [she] was a teenager.” In a 2006 Sky TV charity match, Loos participated for the England Women’s Football team.
She completed the London Marathon in April of the same year and raised more than £7,000 in donations for the British Red Cross. Later, in May, Loos and James Hewitt competed on The X Factor: Battle of the Stars, when Sharon Osbourne famously gave them a poor rating.
In 2007, Loos competed in the Spanish edition of Survivor, where she finished third. She made an appearance in Sky TV’s Cirque de Celebrite that November as one of two new candidates that were added midway through the show. Loos appeared as a guest on The Podge and Rodge Show in 2008.
She appeared in the Dutch drama Mijn Vader is een Detective in September. She participated in the Dutch edition of 71 Degrees North (71 Graden Noord) in October. Playboy, FHM, Nuts, Zoo Weekly, and other men’s magazines and lad mags have all featured Loos on their covers.
Affair with David Beckham
She worked as a personal assistant when David Beckham moved to Real Madrid in July 2003. Beckham was a midfielder and captain of the England national football team. A few months later, her position was terminated, and Loos later gave an interview to the British tabloid newspaper News of the World in April 2004.
She claimed that she and Beckham had had a four-month romance while he was still married to Victoria. Beckham called the allegations “ludicrous” and said they had never been verified, although he did not bring a lawsuit against the publication.
Loos started a career as a media figure soon after her alleged affair with Beckham was reported in the newspapers. She made a fleeting hostess appearance on the Dutch television show Shownieuws in 2004. A controversial appearance by Loos on The Farm, a Channel 5 adaptation of the Raidió Teilifis Éireann program Celebrity Farm, occurred in October 2004.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Mediawatch-UK, and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals all urged that the show be taken off the air for catering to a “morbid and sordid fascination with farm animals.”
