David Beckham was rumored to have had an affair with former personal assistant Rebecca Loos, and the pair worked together during his time at Real Madrid as a player. Victoria Beckham opened up about the rumors in the final episode of the documentary.
Victoria admitted that she resented her husband after his alleged infidelity. She didn’t refer to them in the interview for the documentary however, countless news headlines were being flashed onscreen to confirm the time period.
Victoria acknowledged her resentment towards the English soccer legend: “If I’m being honest, yes. I did. It was the hardest period because it felt like the world was against us. Here’s the thing—we were against each other if I’m being completely honest.”

Rebecca Loos claimed that she had a three-month affair with David Beckham. The story was sensationalized in the now-defunct newspaper News of the World. Although David Beckham dismissed her allegations as “ludicrous” at the time, the scandal had a long-term impact on their marriage.
Beckham admitted that the speculation made him feel “physically sick” at that time. The couple’s marriage was already under intense pressure after David’s controversial move from Manchester United to Real Madrid for $30 million in 2003. Victoria stayed back in England with the kids, meanwhile, David went to Spain to play for Madrid. The allegations surrounding David and Rebecca almost pushed the marriage to the brink of collapse.
