In the world of soccer, various couples have broken off after allegations of cheating. A recent notable separation is that of Gerard Pique and Shakira. In 2003 when David Beckham moved to Real Madrid, reporters often spotted him with an unknown woman.
The woman’s name was Rebecca Loos and she was said to have been Beckham’s assistant during his time in Spain. Later in 2004 news broke out that the two had a short fling and even slept together. She boldly claimed about the affair after being fired and said that she wasn’t afraid of going to court
Model Sarah Marbeck also accused the former player of spending a night with her back in 2001. In the recent Netflix docuseries, the couple addressed these rumors and said that it was a horrible time for them.
Even though they have boldly denied these claims, Rebecca Loos admitted that she could have handled the situation better back then now that she is married and is a mother.
After the episode was released, her timeline was flooded with horrible messages and she responded by saying, “Thank you, I am taking in the nasty comments with as much humor as I can.”
Recently Rebecca shared an interesting post on her social media with a poll saying “A part of me wants to continue keeping my head down and getting on with my life, the other part of me wants to speak out. What is your take?” signifying there’s more to the matter than meets the eye.

Rebecca also back in 2004 wanted David Beckham to man up and face the consequences of his cheating on his wife rather than just saying it was false after Beckham said he never would do anything to hurt his wife.
How did David and Victoria Beckham respond to the rumors?
Back in 2004 when the rumors surfaced online, Beckham immediately denied the allegations in a statement published by the Guardian at that time saying that he had become accustomed to reading more and more ludicrous stories about his private life.
The former soccer player even criticized the Daily Mail and News of the World during a BBC Live radio show saying that – ” At the end of the day, I’m a nice person and loving husband and father.”
The couple’s protest didn’t stop there as they sued the News of the World over false reports even though the case was dropped in 2006. In 2007, Victoria addressed the rumors for the first time and said-“I’m not going to lie. It was a really tough time. It was hard for our entire families. But I realized a lot of people have a price”.

In the Netflix docuseries, further light has been shed on this matter about how the couple dealt with “the hardest time of their lives“. Victoria Beckham said –“We were against each other, I can’t even begin to tell you how hard it was and how it affected me. It was a nightmare”. She even admitted to resenting her husband then.

Beckham also responded to the affairs saying that -“It was the first time that me and Victoria had been put under that kind of pressure in our marriage.” He even still wonders how the couple survived the period. With all due respect even though the couple addressed the rumors there was no mention of the name even though fans knew exactly about whom they were talking about.
