Never Forget! Look Back at Hollywood’s Biggest Celebrity Cheating Scandals

David Beckham

In the 2023 Netflix docuseries Beckham, the retired soccer superstar opened up about his alleged 2003 affair with personal assistant Rebecca Loos while playing for Real Madrid, as wife Victoria Beckham remained in England with their children.
David described how lonely he was living away from his loved ones. “When I first moved to Spain it was difficult because I had been part of a club and a family for my whole career, from the age of 15 to when I was 27. I get sold overnight, the next minute I’m in a city, I don’t speak the language. More importantly, I didn’t have my family.”
Reflecting on how the pair struggled to save their marriage after his alleged infidelity, David recalled, “I don’t know how we got through it, in all honestly. Victoria is everything to me, to see her hurt was incredibly difficult, but we’re fighters and at that time we needed to fight for each other, we needed to fight for our family.”
“And what we had was worth fighting for. There were some days that I would wake up and think, ‘How am I going to go to work? How am I going to walk on to that training pitch? How am I going to look as if nothing’s wrong?’ I felt physically sick every day when I opened my eyes, ‘How am I going to do this?'” he continued.
Victoria called it the “hardest period” for the power couple. She and their sons Brooklyn and Romeo eventually relocated to Spain to reunite their family, but she resented the move and everything she went though, although she remained supportive of her husband due to the stress of his high-pressure career.
“Here’s the thing, we were against each other, if I’m being completely honest. Up until Madrid sometimes it felt like us against everybody else, but we were together, we were connected, we had each other. But when we were in Spain, it didn’t really feel like we had each other either. And that’s sad. I can’t even begin to tell you how hard it was. And how it affected me,” the fashion designer confessed
“As soon as I could get the kids in school, we then move full-time. Did I resent David? If I am being totally honest, yes, I did. It was probably, if I’m being honest, the most unhappy I have ever been in my life. It wasn’t that I felt unheard because I chose to internalize a lot of it because I was always mindful of a focus that he needed.”

David and Victoria ultimately welcomed their third child, son Cruz, while living in Spain, and went on to have daughter Harper in July 2011. The couple celebrated their 24th wedding anniversary in 2023.
