Who did David Beckham allegedly cheat on Victoria with?
The couple have always denied he actually had an affair and in the documentary series, the alleged woman is never named, though his assistant Rebecca Loos claimed they’d “connected” on a night out with friends in 2004. “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,” she told Sky News at the time, per The Mirror. “I really hope that they get through it. I think the problems were in their marriage long before I came into the picture.”
In response, David issued a statement denying the affair. “During the past few months I have become accustomed to reading more and more ludicrous stories about my private life. What appeared this morning is just one further example. The simple truth is that I am very happily married. I have a wonderful wife and two very special kids. There is nothing any third party can do to change these facts.”
In Beckham, Victoria finally broke her silence on these rumors. “You know, up until Madrid, sometimes it felt like us against everybody else but we were together, we were connected, we had each other,” she said. “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 at the time, Victoria answered in the affirmative. “If I’m being totally honest, yes, I did,” she admitted. “It was the most unhappy I have ever been in my entire life. It wasn’t that I felt unheard because I was always mindful of the focus that he needed.”
Echoing his sentiments from the statement he issued at the time, David admitted: “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 their marriage survived this barrage of controversy, David explained, “Every time that we woke up we felt, you know, there was something else and, you know, we felt that, we both felt at the time that we were not losing each other but drowning.
“But ultimately, it’s our private life,” he added. “There were some days I thought, ‘How am I going to go to work? How am I going to go on that training pitch and look as if nothing is wrong?’ I felt physically sick every day when I opened my eyes. How am I going to do this?”
