The latest Netflix docu-series ‘Beckham’ dropped four episodes full of never-seen-before footage of former football star David Beckham. It covers all – from Beckham’s humble rise to football stardom, the initial phase of his relationship with Victoria Beckham, to his affairs.
Despite being under the spotlight, the Beckhams are the most private family, hence it is surprising that the couple decided to speak openly about David Beckham’s affair with Rebecca Loos. Although the details were downplayed, Victoria as well as David admitted that shooting for the documentary was more like therapy.

Who Is Rebecca Loos? Did David Beckham Actually Have An Affair With Her?
It all started when the former football star moved to Spain to play for Real Madrid and Victoria was in the UK. In the documentary, David Beckham confessed that he felt lonely when he initially relocated to Spain since his family was not there with him. While the football player was in Spain, Rebecca Loos was his personal assistant, and in 2004, the news broke that David and Rebecca were romantically involved.
Loos claimed to The News of The World that there was chemistry between them. She said to the network, “There was a huge risk if I got involved with this man. That night we just really hit it off. It was the first time, we were just locked into each other all night conversation-wise. We just connected. People noticed it.”
