October 18, 2023 by Julia DeKorte
After almost 20 years, Victoria Beckham recently broke her silence on husband David Beckham’s alleged affair with his personal assistant, Rebecca Loos. Netflix’s new four-part docuseries, Beckham, tells the story of David Beckham’s rise to stardom and the highs and lows of being in the public eye for decades. This includes that infamous 2004 affair rumor that rocked his marriage to Victoria Beckham. In new interviews, Posh Spice finally gets to tell her side of the story, confirming her husband’s statement that the rumors are false.
Reports of an affair broke shortly after the former Manchester United player joined Real Madrid in 2003. While David and his personal assistant-slash-translator, Rebecca were getting settled in Madrid, Victoria was home with their kids. In an exclusive interview featured in the documentary, the fashion designer finally speaks up about what it was like for her during the height of affair rumors.
Victoria Beckham Opens Up About Affair Rumors
Beckham, a four-part docuseries on Netflix, was released on October 4, 2023, with each 60+ minute episode covering a different era of David’s life. But episode 4 is where it gets juicy. In the episode titled “What Makes David Run,” the affair (or lack thereof, according to the Beckhams) is addressed.
The fashion designer described the explosive weeks that followed the allegations: “It was the hardest period for us,” she said plainly. “It felt like the world was against us. And we were against each other.”
It wasn’t any easier for the former Manchester United player, either. When asked how he dealt with the allegations, he explained, “I get sold overnight. The next minute, I am in a city, I don’t speak the language. More importantly, I didn’t have my family.” Isolated and alone in a country he wasn’t familiar with, the allegations came at the worst time for the young family.
