This week, David's former assistant, Rebecca Loos, gave a bombshell interview in which she slammed the retired footballer for denying their alleged 4-month affair, which she claims took place in 2003 after David and Victoria had welcomed their second son.
Rebecca started working for David after he transferred to Real Madrid from Manchester United in July 2003.

"In my opinion, it was a very brave thing to do to go up against them. I have stuck to the truth. I've never exaggerated. I never lied about a single thing," she said about the claims she made two decades ago.
"Why? Because I'm going up against the strongest, most powerful couple in the media, who have all the money in the world for the best PR, the best lawyers. And all I had on my side was the truth."
In his self-titled 2023 Netflix documentary, David said the allegations, which he denies, were "incredibly difficult" for Victoria and revealed that the scandal almost broke their relationship.

"Maybe he should think twice before he does what he does if he's worried about the outcome for him," Rebecca told 60 Minutes Australia.
"If somebody tries to bring me down and smear me, I'm gonna have to stand up for myself. I think I always will."
Rebecca said David invited her to a hotel while the mother of his children was out of town.
"He told me he had never done this before. I was the first one. All of the cliché things. I believed him 100 percent. I fell hook, line, and sinker for every single cliché line he fed me."
She also reflected on the negative media attention she received after accusing the star of cheating. "There were horrible stories about me, there were horrible stories about his wife, Victoria. There were never horrible stories about him."
