A big part of the reason why Rebecca Loos’ name made so much noise at the time was because of her proximity to the Beckhams. She was not just some stranger who got caught redhanded canoodling with David Beckham, but she actually worked for him. Per the Daily Mail, she was a personal assistant to David (and occasionally, Victoria) when he moved to Spain for his tenure with Real Madrid. Her brother, John Charles, told the outlet that Loos was “pretty and intelligent” and that she was distressed when her name got dragged through the mud. He also claimed that the Beckhams promptly let her go when the cheating allegations blew up. “I thought it was because of professional reasons. But now I am beginning to understand there must have been more to it,” he added.

Loos was not one to let bad publicity get the best of her, however, and capitalized on her infamy to make a name for herself. She reportedly worked as a model and participated in a slew of reality shows in the U.K., including “Celebrity Love Island” and “Extreme Celebrity Detox,” per Cosmopolitan. She appeared in reality programs in other countries, too, including “Survivor” in Spain, “Temptation Island” in the Netherlands, and “Treasure Island: Pirates of the Pacific” in New Zealand. When she joined the Dutch version of “71 Degrees North” in 2008, she met Sven Christjar Skaiaa, who would go on to be her husband. Loos relocated to Norway a year later, settled down, and embarked on a career as a yoga teacher.
