Victoria and David Beckham ‘haunted by past’ as expert reveals reason Rebecca Loos won’t let go

David Beckham has once again found himself at the centre of scandal after his former assistant, Rebecca Loos, doubled down on her claims of an affair with the footballer over two decades ago, something the former Man United legend has repeatedly denied.

Rebecca, who first claimed she’d had an extra-marital relationship with David in 2004, again opened up about the alleged affair last week, declaring, “I never lied about a single thing,” during a bombshell interview with 60 Minutes Australia.

And as Rebecca, 47, is no doubt rehashing old wounds with her interview, a source maintains that David and Victoria, who married in 1999, feel like they can’t escape this torturous episode of the past. “The comments Rebecca keeps making over the years feel like a massive thorn in the Beckhams’ side. It’s like a nightmare they can’t wake up from,” they claim.

And while it may be frustrating and painful for David and his wife to be forced to relive it in this way, psychologist Clare Deacon believes there’s a reason Rebecca isn’t willing to let sleeping dogs lie, after all
this time.

Clare tells us, “Rebecca’s continued engagement of the alleged affair is not necessarily an attempt to reignite scandal, but an expression of unresolved emotional and psychological impact. And one key factor stands out – the alleged affair has never been validated. David has consistently denied the claims and as a result, Rebecca has never received public acknowledgement of her version of events. This lack of validation creates a vacuum, where she can’t get closure. When someone experiences public shaming while the other party maintains status and power, it can foster a deep sense of injustice.”

Clare, founder of therapy and coaching platform Happya, adds, “For Rebecca, the affair isn’t just a past event, it has shaped her identity in
the public eye. While David is a celebrated and decorated global icon with an admired family, she is often remembered solely in the context of this scandal.”
