David and Victoria Beckham’s seemingly flawless relationship faced turmoil when Rebecca Loos, a former nanny, alleged that she had an affair with David Beckham while he played for Real Madrid. Now married and residing in Norway with her two children, Loos recounted her experiences in an interview with El Mundo.
Despite the years that have passed, Loos vividly remembers the harsh criticisms from the media, particularly from a talk show host named Kiko Matamoros. “It was brutal,” she said. “Matamoros claimed he knew me and went as far as to call me a whore on national television, even though I had never met him.” She also refuted another accusation from that era, denying claims she had been intimate with multiple footballers on Ronaldo’s yacht in Brazil.
Loos described her initial role with the Beckhams as multifaceted. She focused primarily on helping Victoria acclimate to Madrid. My job was to take care of Victoria, show her around Madrid, and ensure she enjoyed the city,” she explained. Over time, her role within the family grew as she became an integral part of their daily lives, often planning their activities.
Rebecca Loos, who claimed she had an affair with David Beckham in 2003, says he is “portraying himself as the victim” in Netflix docuseries:

Loos continues to assert that she was involved with David Beckham during his time in Madrid. She disclosed that their first meeting occurred discreetly at La Bardemcilla, a restaurant owned by Javier Bardem’s family. She travelled hidden in the trunk of a car to avoid detection. Beckham has consistently denied the allegations, threatening legal action for defamation.

When faced with the threat of her supposed affair being publicized, Loos chose to fight back. “The fighter in me kicked in, and I defended myself on a television program in England, followed by appearances on other shows. It led to a snowball effect,” she recounted, illustrating her proactive stance against the accusations.
