Celebrities: Rebecca Loos - photoshoot for Playboy

Rebecca Loos (born Rebecca Loos Bartholdi; 19 June 1977) is a Spanish-born Anglo-Dutch model and media personality, who came to media attention following claims that she conducted an affair with the married footballer David Beckham — while employed as his personal assistant. These allegations made her into a media personality, and she has since appeared on several reality television series, magazine covers and in other media. Loos has been featured on the cover of Playboy, FHM, Nuts, Zoo and other men's magazines.

Rebecca Loos was born in Madrid, Spain, but has Dutch citizenship. Her father was Leonard Loos Bartholdi, a Dutch diplomat, and her mother, Elizabeth Loos, is originally from Surrey, England. Growing up, she was privately educated at Runnymede College in Madrid. After moving back to Madrid in 2002, Loos worked for an American investment bank. She is a second cousin of Piers Morgan.

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 initially not 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 reportedly the result. Victoria Beckham was quoted in W magazine saying the claims only made their marriage stronger.

In April 2004, British tabloid newspaper News of the World published a story claiming that Loos and Beckham had an affair. Shortly after the newspaper coverage of her relationship with Beckham, Loos came out publicly as bisexual, saying, "I am indeed bisexual and have been ever since I was a teenager."
