Where is Rebecca Loos today? David Beckham's rumored cheating partner is married and lives in Norway

Publish date: 2024-06-24

Netflix's new "Beckham" docuseries looks at David Beckham's career at soccer teams such as Manchester United, Real Madrid, AC Milan, and LA Galaxy. Aside from his successes on the pitch, it examines his private life, including his marriage to Posh Spice herself, Victoria Beckham.

One part of the series focuses on rumors that David Beckham had an affair with Rebecca Loos when she was his assistant and he was playing for Real Madrid. Loos said the pair had a relationship in 2003 soon after Beckham's move from Manchester United.

In a tell-all interview with Sky News in 2004, Loos said she wasn't afraid of legal repercussions because she knew an intimate detail about Beckham's body.

"There is something I know about him, an intimate part of his body that I think only women who've been in bed with him would know," she said. "So I think if they did want to take me to court, I could easily stand up and say, 'Well — '"

Since the scandal broke in the British press, Loos has appeared on reality television in the UK, moved to Norway, and started a family.

Here's what she is up to now.

After saying she had an affair with Beckham, Loos became a reality star, appearing on "The Farm," "Celebrity Love Island," and "X Factor: Battle of the Stars" in the UK.

Loos' first reality-TV stint was in 2004 on Channel 5's "The Farm," in which celebrities competed against each other by doing farmwork.

She came in third place, though she was at the center of controversy again when she was tasked with masturbating a pig and collecting its semen.

In the episode, she said: "My arms are aching. It lasts for about 10 minutes, and he starts thrusting really hard and then I grip."

The scenes were met with heavy criticism from viewers in the UK, as well as the animal-rights group PETA.

"The program-makers said the show would be about what life was like on the farm but the whole focus has been on the antics of the celebrities and who is yelling at whom," a PETA spokesperson said at the time.

After "The Farm," Loos appeared on "Celebrity Love Island" in 2005, as well as the singing competition "The X Factor: Battle of the Stars" in 2006 alongside James Hewitt.

Loos was heavily criticized by one of the show's judges, Sharon Osbourne, who said after one performance: "If you get through tonight, you should try doing tomorrow's performance with your knickers on. Because it will help warm up your voice a bit more."

In 2008, Loos starred on the Dutch version of the dating show "71 Degrees North," where she met Skaiaa, she told OK magazine in 2022. The Norwegian doctor was a medic on the series, not a contestant.

The pair got together and moved to Hemsedal, Norway, where Loos gave birth to their first child, Magnus Leon Loos Skaiaa, in 2009. The couple then welcomed another son, Liam, and married in 2012.

The former glamour model regularly posts on Instagram about living an active lifestyle in the Norwegian countryside.

"Now I spend my time practicing yoga, running, biking and hiking and foraging for wild food for my two young sons. Life is very different," Loos told The Sun in 2018.

"Sven is an outdoor man and mountain lover and was not prepared to move to London — so it was I who moved to Norway so we could bring our son up together," she added.

"We want to bring up our children surrounded by nature — playing outdoors as much as possible, skiing, hiking, biking, learning about nature, and, most importantly, loving and respecting it. We would be nothing without it," Loos said.

Loos is now a health and fitness guru, running her own yoga classes and retreats.

In 2012, Loos developed an interest in yoga, specifically Ashtanga, which is a dynamic, physically demanding form of exercise.

"With each practice, Rebecca felt like she was returning to her roots, her true self," Loos' website says.

In 2017, Loos took training courses to become a yoga teacher and opened up her own studio in Hemsedal, according to her website. She later sold the studio to become an independent instructor.

"Helping people to move & breathe better, feel better, and live better is her absolute passion and she feels blessed to be able to work doing what she loves," the biography on Loos' website says.

These days, Loos runs online classes and retreats for fitness enthusiasts.

In an interview with the Daily Mail in October, Loos said her current occupation is as a medical assistant.

In the "Beckham" documentary, Beckham spoke about the accusations of cheating on his wife, saying: "There was some horrible stories which were difficult to deal with. I don't know how we got through it, in all honesty."

In late October, Loos responded to the documentary in a video interview with the Daily Mail.

"He's making himself the victim and making me look like the liar. He's making me look like I made up these horrible stories. It's all, 'poor me.' He needs to take responsibility," Loos said.

She continued: "I also have a family and I also have children and they have Google. They can also watch the documentaries and I want them to know that their mother was brave enough to stand up against them and to stand up for the truth."

Representatives for Beckham and Loos did not immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment.
