David Beckham's Highly-Anticipated Documentary Unveils Candid Moments
After much anticipation, the four-part documentary series, "Beckham," has made its debut on Netflix, offering viewers an exclusive glimpse into the life of one of the world's most renowned footballers, David Beckham. Among the topics explored in the documentary, David and his wife Victoria Beckham openly discuss a challenging period in their marriage—David's alleged affair with Rebecca Loos in 2004, an accusation he has consistently denied.
The couple shares their candid reflections on the turbulent times they faced, with David admitting, "There were some horrible stories that were difficult to deal with. It was the first time that me and Victoria had been put under that kind of pressure in our marriage." Victoria adds, "It was the hardest period because it felt like the world was against us."
Let's delve into the details of David Beckham's alleged affair and what the couple has revealed about it in the documentary.
The Alleged Affair:
In 2004, five years after David and Victoria exchanged vows, Rebecca Loos, who had previously served as David's personal assistant, came forward with claims of an affair with David. Loos shared her story with now-defunct newspaper News of The World and Sky News, describing David as an "amazing lover." She asserted that their relationship began during a night at a Madrid nightclub, saying, "We were just locked into each other all night conversation-wise, and other people noticed… we just connected. I think the chemistry between David and I was so strong… people were aware, and they weren't very happy." This alleged affair purportedly took place while David was playing for Real Madrid in 2003, though David consistently denied these allegations.
David and Victoria's Response:
David firmly denied the allegations, labeling them as "ludicrous" and affirming his happiness in his marriage. In a statement issued in 2004, he stated, "During the past few months, I have become accustomed to reading more and more ludicrous stories about my private life. The simple truth is that I am very happily married. I have a wonderful wife and two very special kids. There is nothing any third party can do to change these facts." At the time, Victoria refrained from commenting on the allegations and only addressed them in a 2007 interview, characterizing it as a "really tough time" for their marriage. She acknowledged, "Yes, there have been bumps along the road. But the fact is we've come out of everything we've been through stronger and happier."
Since then, the couple remained relatively silent on the matter until the release of David's four-part documentary series.
The Documentary's Insight:
The documentary director, Fisher Stevens, delved into the affair allegations by asking David, "How did your marriage stay together?" and allowed David to steer the conversation. During this exploration, David reflected on the tumultuous period, stating, "I don't know how we got through it, in all honesty. 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. 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?'"
Victoria and their two sons eventually relocated to Madrid during this period. In the documentary, Victoria reveals her unhappiness about leaving the UK, confessing, "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."
Since the alleged affair, the couple has welcomed two more children, Cruz and Harper, and they are now approaching their 25th wedding anniversary.
