Victoria and David Beckham met at a charity football match in 1997 when she was at the height of her fame with the Spice Girls and he was a relatively unknown athlete. She was in a lounge for the players of Manchester United, the team David played for when she spotted her future husband. She wrote about the experience, which she considered love at first sight, for British Vogue. “And, yes, love at first sight does exist. It will happen to you in the Manchester United players’ lounge—although you will get a little drunk, so exact details are hazy,” she wrote.
“While the other football players stand at the bar drinking with their mates, you will see David standing aside with his family. (He’s not even in the first team at this stage—you are the famous one.) And he has such a cute smile. You, too, are close to your family, and you will think how similar he feels to you. He’s going to ask for your number. (He still has the London-to-Manchester plane ticket on which you wrote it.)”

After the alleged scandal involving his assistant was addressed in the Netflix series Beckham, a second claim of infidelity has resurfaced, causing people to wonder if David Beckham cheated on Victoria with a second woman.
Did David Beckham cheat on Victoria with another woman?
Did David Beckham cheat on Victoria with a second woman? The couple has categorically denied any infidelity at any stage of their marriage, but an article in the Evening Standard from 2005 reported that beauty salon owner Dannielle Heath claimed she’d been romantically involved with the football star. Victoria was pregnant with their third child, son Cruz, at the time.
Heath met the Beckhams after giving Victoria a spray tan in her salon. A time after, “Miss Heath was summoned to see Beckham alone at the family’s ‘Beckingham Palace’ mansion in Hertfordshire. He asked her to wax an intimate area but later changed his mind,” the paper alleged.
Months later, and just after Victoria had announced she was three months pregnant with the couple’s third child, Heath said she was left alone with David at the family’s Madrid mansion. She claimed he invited her upstairs, where they kissed but were interrupted by staff. “David was very affectionate,” she said. “He loved to kiss and cuddle me and loved it when I did the same to him. It was like he was starved of affection.’” Though, she admitted, they never had sex.
In response to these claims, the Beckhams issued a statement at the time, saying: “We are sick and tired of people trying to make money out of our family. It is even more distressing when we are expecting our third child soon. The allegations are completely and totally untrue and the matters are now in the hands of our lawyers.”
Who did David Beckham allegedly cheat on Victoria with?
As mentioned, the couple has always denied he had an affair. In the Netflix documentary series, Beckham, the alleged woman is never named, though his assistant Rebecca Loos claimed they’d “connected” on a night out with friends in 2004. “I would always say to myself, ‘Don’t risk your job’ and I knew there was a huge risk involved if I got involved with this man,” she told Sky News at the time, per The Mirror. “I really hope that they get through it. I think the problems were in their marriage long before I came into the picture.”
In response, David issued a statement denying the affair. “During the past few months I have become accustomed to reading more and more ludicrous stories about my private life. What appeared this morning is just one further example. The simple truth is that I am very happily married. I have a wonderful wife and two very special kids. There is nothing any third party can do to change these facts.”
In Beckham, Victoria finally broke her silence on these rumors. “You know, up until Madrid, sometimes it felt like us against everybody else but we were together, we were connected, we had each other,” she said. “But when we were in Spain, it didn’t really feel like we had each other either. And that’s sad. I can’t even begin to tell you how hard it was and how it affected me. It was a nightmare. It was an absolute circus — and everyone loves it when the circus comes to town, right? Unless you’re in it.”
When asked if she resented her husband at the time, Victoria answered in the affirmative. “If I’m being totally honest, yes, I did,” she admitted. “It was the most unhappy I have ever been in my entire life. It wasn’t that I felt unheard because I was always mindful of the focus that he needed.”
Echoing his sentiments from the statement he issued at the time, David admitted: “There was some horrible stories which were difficult to deal with. It was the first time that me and Victoria had been put under that kind of pressure in our marriage.”
When asked how their marriage survived this barrage of controversy, David explained, “Every time that we woke up we felt, you know, there was something else and, you know, we felt that, we both felt at the time that we were not losing each other but drowning.
“But ultimately, it’s our private life,” he added. “There were some days I thought, ‘How am I going to go to work? How am I going to go on that training pitch and look as if nothing is wrong?’ I felt physically sick every day when I opened my eyes. How am I going to do this?”
Rebecca Loos responds to David Beckham’s alleged affair
After the Netflix documentary aired, Rebecca Loos faced “disgusting” comments against her on an Instagram post of her in a yoga position, to which she replied: “Thank you 🙏🏼 am taking in the nasty comments with as much humour as I can ❤️.” Mostly, though, there were messages of support.
One fan questioned: “Why is the other woman always subjected to such hate? Why not the married man? Bet there’s no nasty comments on his Insta page!” Another wrote: “The amount of hate this poor lady is receiving is shocking. Most of them mothers, some of them are shouting about mental health in their bios. To bring another woman down and troll her says much more about you!” A third commented: “She’s been living a quiet and what appears to be a very content life,” a third commented. “To be dragged into this again is sad.”
