David Beckham’s former assistant has made new claims about an alleged affair with the ex-England captain.
Rebecca Loos worked for Beckham, 49, after he signed for Real Madrid in 2003 but later made claims about an alleged affair.
Loos, 47, first spoke out during an interview with Kay Burley on Sky in 2004 – although Beckham has always denied such claims.

“There was an obvious attraction,” Loos said in 2004. “We spent a lot of time together. We just bonded. We think the same way, made the same jokes, had some kind of connection.
"He treated me in a special way. Always made sure I was looked after. I began to feel very special."
“September 18th," she added. "We had all been out with a group of people for dinner, having a few drinks and relaxing, there had been some flirting and I was getting a few innuendos but I kept saying, 'No he doesn't fancy you'.
"I would always say to myself ‘don't risk your job’ and I knew there was a huge risk involved if I got involved with this man."

"That night we just really hit it off," the former model continued. "It was the first time, we were just locked into each other all night conversation wise. We just connected. People noticed it."
Of course, Loos’ claims caused mass press attention and scrutiny on the Beckham family – namely on David's wife, Victoria, 50, who described the aftermath of the claims as the “hardest period” of the pair’s marriage during the 2023 Netflix docuseries ‘Beckham’.
“It felt like the world was against us,” said Victoria during the show.
"We were against each other... Up until Madrid sometimes it felt like us against everybody else but we were together, we were connected, we had each other."

Over 20 years on from her original comments, Loos has sat down with 60 Minutes Australia and doubled down on her claims during an interview, which aired on Sunday.
“In my opinion, it was a very brave thing to do to go up against them,” said Loos.
“I have stuck to the truth. I've never exaggerated. I never lied about a single thing."

“Why?” she asked.
“Because I'm going up against the strongest, most powerful couple in the media who have all the money in the world for the best PR, the best lawyers. And all I had on my side was the truth.”
Loos, who is journalist Piers Morgan’s second cousin, now lives in Norway and is the mother of two children.
