- Rebecca Loos, the former assistant of David Beckham, recently sat down with 60 Minutes Australia to discuss the affair claims she made about the soccer star over two decades ago.
- Beckham has previously denied her accusations.
- Loos said in the new interview that she has “stuck to the truth,” ”never exaggerated” and “never lied about a single thing.”
Speaking with 60 Minutes Australia in a segment published on Sunday, March 30, the former Dutch model who worked as Beckham’s personal assistant in 2003 is claiming that she “stuck to the truth” in the years since she alleged she and the soccer star had an affair while he was married to his wife, Victoria Beckham.
A rep for David did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment on March 30. The soccer star, now 49, has previously denied Loos’ accusations, calling them “ludicrous” two decades ago in a statement to The Guardian.
“In my opinion, it was a very brave thing to do to go up against them,” Loos, now 47, told 60 Minutes Australia. “I have stuck to the truth. I’ve never exaggerated. I never lied about a single thing.”

Following her termination, she claimed in an interview with News of the World in April 2004 that the pair had a four-month-long affair. David was, at the time, married to Victoria for five years and had two 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren when Loos began working for him. He denied the allegations.
Now, Loos is reflecting on her accusations. Working for Beckham in 2003 in Madrid, she told 60 Minutes Australia, meant she was the “first person they see in the morning and the last person they see in the evening.”
Loos told 60 Minutes Australia that she spoke out publicly after claims of an extramarital affair hit the British media because she “always had the opinion [that] it’s better that it comes from me and I have some sort of control.”
Two decades later, in the 2023 four-part series, Beckham, the soccer star touched upon a difficult time in his and Victoria’s marriage. In the series, Victoria called the time when her husband transferred to Real Madrid “the most unhappy I’ve ever been in my entire life.” The pair did not name Loos or her accusations in the series, which was directed by Fisher Stevens.

Loos has pivoted careers and is now a certified yoga and meditation teacher. 60 Minutes Australia said she is also a medical assistant.
