Rebecca Loos: Beckham's Reported Fling

DAVID Beckham has had a secret torrid affair with an exotic beauty in Madrid, the News of the World can reveal.

He took his beautiful personal assistant Rebecca Loos to bed just 90 minutes after this picture of the two of them together was taken at a club.

The lonely England soccer ace turned to the 26-year-old privately-educated daughter of a Dutch diplomat for comfort after feeling abandoned by wife Posh in their troubled long-distance marriage.

While Victoria stayed 800 miles away in London concentrating on her recording career, Becks fell head over heels for Rebecca as she worked for him, helping him settle into his transfer to Real Madrid.

Today over the next five pages—in a story that will rock millions of Posh and Becks fans worldwide—we detail how the former Manchester United star secretly made love to Rebecca at two top hotels in the Spanish capital.

How he sent her a stream of graphic text messages telling her what he wanted to do to her in bed.

And how Victoria failed to see the signs that she could be losing her man.

"David is a lonely man in a foreign country," said a close family friend who Rebecca confided in about her astonishing secret. "He is a very sensitive guy and is so hurt because Victoria is ignoring him.

"The affair is a surprise to no one who knows him. He's been going weeks without sex, trying to stay faithful to her. But something had to give."

When we confronted Rebecca—who speaks perfect English—about her relationship, she said: "I am afraid I have no comment for you. Please leave me alone."
