September 2003: David Beckham is seen with a brunette at a nightclub in Madrid
The affair scandal began with Beckham’s move to Madrid to play for the football team Real Madrid in the summer of 2003. In September, a few months after the move, Beckham was spotted on a night out with a mystery brunette in Madrid, the Guardian reported. The person was later identified as Rebecca Loos, his personal assistant in the Spanish city.
April 2004: Rebecca Loos claims she and Beckham had an affair
On April 4, 2004, the UK’s News of the World newspaper published a story that alleged Beckham had an affair with Loos, who had since been fired as his assistant. Later that month, Loos gave a tell-all TV interview with Sky News, in which she said they had first slept together the night they were spotted at the nightclub in September.
“I think the chemistry between David and I was so strong, and people were not happy because I was being very unprofessional and he’s a married man,” she said, adding: “We dropped off the other two people in the car and started kissing quite passionately all the way back to the hotel. It was like magnets, pretty amazing.”
