Rebecca Loos has broken her silence, after David Beckham addressed their alleged affair in his Netflix docuseries.
Back in 2003, the footballer’s former assistant Rebecca claimed they had an affair while he was playing for Real Madrid – which he vehemently denied.
David and his wife Victoria spoke out about the allegations in the four-part series Beckham, which joined the streaming giant last Wednesday.
Victoria admitted: “It was the hardest period because it felt like the world was against us. Here’s the thing – we were against each other if I’m being completely honest.”
“You know, up until Madrid sometimes it felt like us against everybody else but we were together, we were connected, we had each other. But when we were in Spain, it didn’t really feel like we had each other either.”
“And that’s sad. I can’t even begin to tell you how hard it was and how it affected me. It was a nightmare. It was an absolute circus – and everyone loves it when the circus comes to town, right? Unless you’re in it.”
When asked if she resented her husband in the aftermath of the allegations, the fashion designer admitted: “If I’m being totally honest, yes I did. It was the most unhappy I have ever been in my entire life.”
David said: “There was some horrible stories which were difficult to deal with. It was the first time that me and Victoria had been put under that kind of pressure in our marriage.”
When asked how they survived it, David shared: “I don’t know how we got through it, in all honesty. Victoria is everything to me. To see her hurt was incredibly difficult.”
“But we are 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. But ultimately it’s our private life.”
After the documentary aired, Rebecca was targeted online by trolls – with some doubting her story.
However, one fan defended Rebecca, writing: “if it wasn’t true then they would have sued for defamation.”
Rebecca responded to the supportive comment by “liking” the comment and replying with a prayer hand emoji.
David and Victoria tied the knot at Luttrellstown Castle in Castleknock, Dublin on July 4, 1999.
The couple share four children – Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper.
