Rebecca Loos Pictures
Rebecca Loos was born 19 June 1977 and she is a Spanish-born Dutch-English model and singer, who became somewhat notable after some claims that she conducted an affair with married football player David Beckham while employed as his personal assistant. The revelation made her into a media personality and she has since appeared on several reality television series.
Loos was born in Madrid, Spain, but she has Dutch citizenship. Her father was Leonard Loos Bartholdi, a Dutch diplomat, and her mother, Elizabeth Loos, is originally from Surrey, England.[2] Growing up, she was privately educated. After moving back to Madrid in 2002, Loos worked for an American investment bank.
When the former England football captain David Beckham moved to Real Madrid, Loos became his personal assistant during the transition period, alongside SFX agent and the former Australian international footballer Andy Bernal, who spoke Spanish fluently.
Beckham and Loos worked closely together both professionally and socially and Loos claimed that she became an "alternative wife". Victoria Beckham was not initially happy in Madrid, and wanted to develop her UK music career, so she spent much of her time in England. Loos claimed this resulted in Beckham becoming bored, leading them to spend almost all their time together socially, and a four month affair was the alleged result. However this was never confirmed and Victoria Beckham was recently quoted in W magazine saying the alleged affair only made their marriage stronger.
In April 2004, British tabloid newspaper News of the World published a story claiming that she and Beckham an affair.
Shortly after the newspaper coverage of her relationship with David Beckham, Loos came out publicly as bisexual, saying "I am indeed bisexual and have been ever since I was a teenager".
In 2005, to protest against America's laws on gay marriage, Loos married the American fashion model Jenny Shimizu for the TV program Power Lesbian UK. It was broadcast in the USA as Power Lesbians on LOGO which profiled successful lesbians in Los Angeles. The two shared a relationship for a period afterwards.
On, 17 July 2009 in Oslo, Loos gave birth to a son. The father is Sven Christjar Skaiaa. On her homepage, Rebecca writes:
We have named our beautiful son Magnus Leon Loos Skaiaa. He was born in Oslo in the early hours of 17 July weighing 3.3 kilos. As is well we are home and enjoying every minute of this new little person in our lives.
