There are dark spots both on the Sun and in the history of the relationship between David and Victoria Beckham, who today, perhaps, seem to be one of the strongest and happiest celebrity couples. Few people remember that in 2003, the lovers really had to face serious problems: the football player was suspected of having an affair with his personal assistant Rebecca Loos. 20 years later, the couple spoke for the first time about the events of that time.
As revealed in the Beckham documentary series, David and Rebecca became close during his time at Real Madrid. Victoria, barely holding back tears, admits that this was the most difficult period of their relationship, and adds that then it seemed that not only the whole world was against them, but the spouses themselves were opposed to each other. “Up until Madrid it seemed like it was us against everyone else, we were together, we were connected, we had each other. But when we found ourselves in Spain, we no longer had the feeling that we had each other. This is sad. I can’t even tell you how hard it was. And how it affected me,” she said candidly in an interview.
The athlete himself still does not understand how he and his wife subsequently managed to survive 2003. Every day he felt bad both morally and physically, and only the understanding that he needed to fight for his family saved the marriage.
