Loos, who worked for Beckham in 2003 during his transition to Real Madrid, alleged the affair began when Victoria Beckham was out of town. She described giving in to Beckham’s advances at a hotel, only to feel “massively played” when she later saw him with another woman at a party. “I fell for every cliché line he fed me,” Loos told 60 Minutes Australia, reflecting on the emotional toll the experience took on her. She also spoke about the challenges of speaking out against the Beckhams, whom she described as a powerful media couple with vast resources. “All I had on my side was the truth,” she said, emphasizing that she never exaggerated her claims.
David Beckham, now 49, has long denied the allegations, calling them “ludicrous” in a 2004 statement to The Guardian. The soccer icon and his wife, Victoria, addressed the period in their 2023 Netflix documentary Beckham, with Victoria describing it as the “most unhappy” time of her life, though they did not directly name Loos. The documentary highlighted the strain on their marriage during Beckham’s Real Madrid stint, with David noting the intense pressure they faced.
Loos, now a yoga and meditation teacher and mother of two, also discussed the mental health impact of the ordeal, admitting it was “quite traumatic” despite her efforts to appear strong. She claimed the media scrutiny at the time disproportionately targeted her and Victoria, leaving Beckham’s life largely unaffected. The Beckhams, married since 1999 and parents to four children, have not publicly responded to Loos’ latest comments, but the interview has once again brought their past under the spotlight.
