More than 20 years after David Beckham’s PA Rebecca Loos claimed they shared a steamy night of passion, she has given another interview about their alleged affair
For years, Rebecca Loos has shunned the limelight – but now, she is back making headlines.
Back in 2004, David Beckham’s former PA sold a scandalous story to the now-defunct News of the World, claiming she and the England star shared a steamy night of passion following his move from Manchester United to Real Madrid. Rebecca went on to become a reality TV star, featuring on The Farm and Love Island.
Then, she disappeared from the spotlight and found happiness in a low-key life away from the cameras. But now, she has opened up about the alleged affair once again – which David has always denied. In an interview with James English for his Anything Goes podcast, Rebecca admitted she was “no angel” and said the backlash she received was “unfair”.
She told the Glaswegian host: “The funny thing is, I got the s***, Victoria [Beckham] got the s***, David f****** never got any s***. That’s the world we live in.” On the podcast, she also claimed David told her: “I’ve never done this before, you’re the first.” But she alleged he “met someone else” just two weeks later.
Rebecca was papped with the then 28-year-old footy star inside a nightclub and later revealed their alleged affair, which he has strenuously denied. After finding herself at the centre of a media storm, she was catapulted into stardom. She signed up for several reality TV shows and posed topless for lads’ mags, including Zoo and Playboy.
She allegedly made more than £1million on the story and enjoyed a whirlwind career in the spotlight, famously appearing on Channel 5’s The Farm in 2004, pleasuring a pig to collect its semen. Wearing rubber gloves, she excited the boar and managed to collect a whopping third of a litre of semen in a flask.
The 10-minute clip was watched by 1.6 million people and was one of the most controversial scenes to feature on 5. Ofcom received 37 complaints, but the media watchdog told them that the pig was not degraded or harmed by the model. “We don’t believe that the scene was degrading or harmful to the boar,” they said.
Rebecca later met her Norwegian doctor husband, Sven Christjar Skaiaa – while filming the reality TV series 71 Degrees North – and welcomed their first child in 2008. By 2012, the two were married, had another baby, and had relocated to the tiny hamlet of Hemsedal in the mountains of Norway to start a new life.
Their home in the Buskerud county in southern Norway is so remote that it’s a three-hour drive from the nearest airport and a two-hour drive to the nearest hospital. Now a yoga teacher, Rebecca regularly posts her wholesome life on Instagram, where she’s seen walking her dogs or practising Ashtanga yoga in a cosy-looking studio.
“Now I spend my time practising yoga, running, biking and hiking and foraging for wild food for my two young sons. Life is very different,” she previously told The Sun. Her account boasts almost 50,000 followers, and still posting retreat updates, Rebecca still appears to be enjoying the quiet life after revealing she had “no regrets”.
“I am so happy. I have no regrets,” she told MailOnline. Speaking of her husband, she explained: “People said I was mad, who was this guy? I hardly knew him, what on earth was I doing? But look at everything I have now. I am so happy with my life now. Many people are so afraid of change.
“Change is good, change is how you learn, people should just f***ing go for it. I like the way my life has taken me. If I hadn’t been famous, I would not have been invited on the TV show where I met my husband Sven and had my lovely boys. I would not have had the life I have now. I took a lot of wrong decisions, and got talked into a lot of things.”
When the Beckham documentary aired on Netflix last year, David’s wife Victoria Beckham fought back tears as she described the media storm as the ‘hardest time’ of her life. The Spice Girl said it was the only time in her marriage she felt as though she and David no longer ‘had each other.’
David, who has always denied the affair allegations, said the couple felt like they were ‘drowning’ and he felt ‘physically sick’ every single day while trying to fight for his marriage. At the time of the doc, Rebecca took to Instagram to promote her Yin yoga class and show off a new hairdo.
