Victoria Beckham is said to be livid at the idea of Rebecca Loos ‘trying to make herself a celebrity again’ following her rumoured TV return.

Former England captain David’s PA rocked the Beckham’s marriage 20 years ago when she claimed to have had a four-month ‘steamy affair’ with David while he was out in Madrid, and Victoria was still in the UK with their kids. The footballer denied the allegations and branded her ‘ludicrous’, then later said it was one of the hardest periods of his marriage.

She sold her story to now-defunct News of the World and claimed they got intimate after a group night out, then went on to enjoy several romps as well as phone sex. More than 20 years after she first shared her story, yoga teacher Rebecca has been shot back into the spotlight by Tom Bower’s new bombshell book, The House of Beckham.

It’s been reported that Rebecca, 46, has signed up for Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins as she puts her body on the line with some gruelling physical challenges. The programme delves deep into the star’s past and that presents a clear problem for the power couple.

“She is furious about Rebecca signing up for Celebrity SAS, and she’s terrified about what she’s going to say now she’s back on the showbiz circuit,” a source told Heat Magazine. “Vic really thought she had put all of that behind her, but she feels Rebecca is still determined to try and ruin them.

“She can’t help but blame David for all of this – first of all for getting involved in the first place, and then for how he handled it in his Netflix documentary last year. David has told Victoria not to let it bother her, but while Victoria knows Rebecca no longer poses any threat to her marriage, she’s terrified about what she’s going to say next.”

In Bower’s book, it’s revealed for the first time that Rebecca allegedly decided to speak out about their alleged affair after being appalled by David’s treatment of a waitress in Madrid. Bower claims David supposedly refusing to give a tip – then later handing over a wad of cash – was the “turning point for Loos realising Beckham’s double standards.”

Rebecca gave several follow-up interviews after her initial explosive chat. In a sit down with Sky, she claimed her chemistry with David had been off the charts and that they shared the same sense of humour. Addressing his marriage, she said it appeared David missed his wife and was ‘lonely’ in Spain, and Rebecca insisted she had no intention of breaking up their marriage.

Asked about her thoughts on Victoria, she had one demand – no sympathy please. “I don’t expect any sympathy from her whatsoever,” she said. “I think it’s bad enough for me to do what I have done without me expecting any words of sympathy.

“I really hope that they get through it. I think the problems were in their marriage long before I came into the picture. I in no way intended to break up their marriage especially when there are young children involved. I hope they stay together.”

Meghan Markle has been criticised by a celebrity biographer for thinking she held a higher social status than Victoria Beckham.

The statement has been made in Tom Bower’s new book titled The House of Beckham, which also says the Duchess of Sussex was “irritated” to discover the couple had more money than her.

Bower brands the former Suits star as “deluded” for her thoughts as he opened up on the Sussexes and Beckhams’ broken relationship. The two couples had previously been linked as pals, but Bower said Meghan’s thought she had little in common with the former Spice Girl.

He wrote: “In Meghan’s celebrity world, ranking depended on wealth and fame. As a seasoned operator, Meghan deluded herself that her status in the Royal family placed her above Victoria in the social pecking order.”

He continued: “She was irritated to discover that the Beckhams had considerably more wealth than herself. They owned five homes, had constant access to private jets, invitations to sail on yachts and much more money. And she was soon to be a duchess.”

Despite her thoughts, it’s believed Meghan tried to make the pairing work due to husband Prince Harry’s connection with the famous couple. It’s not the first time Meghan has been branded deluded. Last year, royal expert Jennie Bond told OK! the Sussexes had a deluded idea of their social status. Speaking to the magazine, Bond said it was after it was alleged they had wanted to return to the US on Air Force One following Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral – a request that’s said to have been snubbed.

Bond said: “Firstly, they have a very grandiose and deluded idea of their status on the world stage. And, secondly, they are impervious to the sensitivities of the situation they have created by stepping back as working Royals and then firing volleys of allegations at the royal family from their Californian haven.”

She also slammed the couple as “insensitive” for putting President Biden “in a very awkward position” with a request in the first place.

Victoria Beckham ‘couldn’t stand’ her former bandmate, Geri Horner, according to Tom Bower.

The investigative journalist’s new book, The House of Beckham: Money, Sex and Power, which has been serialised by the Mirror before its release on June 20, takes a deep dive into the relationship of one of the most influential couples in the world, including what Victoria was like behind closed doors.

The mum-of-four, 50, has known Geri, 51, since the nineties when they shot to fame as Posh and Ginger Spice in the best-selling girl band. However, in recent years there’s been rumours of a rift between the pair, highlighted when Geri unfollowed Victoria and David earlier this year amid her husband, Christian’s work conduct allegations at Red Bull.

Speaking about their relationship during the Spice Girls’ fame, Bower claims everyone loved [David] Beckham, but “Victoria was different” adding: “Increasingly, she was outspoken and provoked retaliation.” He continues: “‘I can’t stand Geri,’ she said about her former best friend. ‘She is one of the most disloyal people I’ve ever known.’”

The book also claims the fashion designer mocked Geri for dating DJ Chris Evans, who she was in a relationship with in 1999. Bower claims: “Twisting the knife, she even scoffed at Geri for going out with DJ Chris Evans. ‘She’ll do anything to get publicity. Geri doesn’t care what she does as long as she gets in the paper.’”

It wouldn’t be the first time the Spice Girls have been accused of falling out. Back in 2002, Mel B claimed in her autobiography that she and Geri used to argue like lovers.

Meanwhile, Melanie ‘Mel C’ Chisholm was also involved in her own spat, writing in her memoir that Geri once got “clocked in the face” while trying to “keep the peace” during a fight between the two Mels.

In her second memoir, Mel B also revealed that she and Victoria fell out in the ’90s when, during a group holiday to Hawaii, Posh saw Mel B’s holiday fling pooing on the beach and called him “disgusting”.

In February, it was also reported by MailOnline that Geri had unfollowed Victoria on Instagram, however, Geri did celebrate her 50th birthday in April, although her husband Christian did not attend. Geri has been married to millionaire formula one Team Principal and CEO Christian Horner, 50, since 2015 and they share a son together. But as the mum-of-two stepped out of her limo – in trademark pristine white – to join Victoria at her party, Christian was nowhere to be seen.

However, it seems the F1 boss was forced to miss out on the fun due to work commitments – as the Chinese F1 was in full swing and he needed to attend.

Mirror Online has reached out to Geri and Victoria’s reps for comment.

David Beckham’s relationships with royal brothers Prince William and Prince Harry is explored in a juicy new book about the retired footballer.

The House of Beckham by Tom Bower, serialised by the Mirror over the weekend, David’s romance with wife Victoria Beckham is put under the spotlight, with new details of the ups and downs of their decades-long marriage revealed.

But the new book makes claims about Posh and Becks’ relationship with the royal family, in particular their crumbling union with Harry and his wife Meghan Markle.

The former England captain, 49, and Posh Spice, 50, attended both William’s 2011 wedding to Kate Middleton and Harry and Meghan’s nuptials in 2018. However, according to The House of Beckham, David’s friendship with both brothers rubbed Meghan up the wrong way.

In his book, Bower writes how ahead of their wedding, Meghan and Harry were miffed by David’s chummy relationship with William, which had been going strong since the UK’s World Cup bid in 2010. The Duke of Duchess of Sussex, already grumbling about their perceived lesser status and wealth compared to the Cambridges, found the sight of Becks hobnobbing with William irksome.

“Meghan appeared to want to punish the Beckhams,” Bower writes. “Television pictures of the couple arriving at St George’s Chapel for the wedding showed Victoria stony-faced and David chewing gum. Meghan had not invited them to the wedding dinner. Her veto was an insult.”

He continues: “After all, many guests such as George Clooney and other Hollywood stars invited that evening did not even know Meghan. Victoria’s sour expression also reflected her anger about David’s behaviour at a Soho House party the previous night. He had been buying drinks for a brunette while Victoria sat silently thunderous nearby. Worse still, that very morning the woman had posted photos of herself and Beckham on the web.”

Post-wedding ceremony, the Beckhams bumped into King Charles at the sun-drenched reception in the garden. Charles and David first met two decades ago at the Old Trafford football stadium. As he was leaving, Charles had quipped to his aide, ‘Why do these people never wear socks?’

That afternoon, Charles ran into a member of the People’s Royalty who was, indeed, wearing socks. Moving on, Beckham extended his congratulations to Harry. During their chat, the Prince invited Beckham to join him in Sydney come October. For the Invictus Games, a competition for injured servicemen, he was quick to say yes. His team were given the job of finding a sponsor to cover his travel costs. He intended to bring along Victoria and their four children, according to The House of Beckham.

Later in the book, Bower writes how David did attend the games but “found himself alone at the Invictus Games stadium” and kept away from the Duke of Sussex, unaware that Harry “had ordered that under no circumstances was the footballer to be allowed near him.”

The Mirror has approached representatives for both the Beckhams and the Sussexes for comment on this story.

Meghan Markle was “irritated” when she found out Victoria Beckham is richer than her, a new biography says.

Tom Bower’s new book – The House of Beckham: Money, Sex and Power – sheds light on the relationship between the Beckhams and the Sussexes – and where it all went wrong. The former journalist says that the Duchess of Sussex was annoyed when she found out the Beckhams had “considerably more wealth” than herself.

Cracks started to show in the relationship between the famous families in 2018, according to Bower who says that although the Beckhams did secure an invite to Prince Harry and Meghan’s wedding, they were not invited to the wedding dinner. He also says in spring last year, it became clear that the friendship between the couples was on the rocks when the Sussexes were not on the guest list for Brooklyn Beckham’s wedding – but Prince William and Kate Middleton were.

In the biography – which was released June 20 – Bower says that Meghan had ranked herself above the Beckhams in the social pecking order, and was fuming when she discovered that, despite her place in the Royal Family, Victoria actually scored higher in terms of wealth and fame. He explains: “In Meghan’s celebrity world, ranking depended on wealth and fame. As a seasoned operator, Meghan deluded herself that her status in the Royal family placed her above Victoria in the social pecking order.”

Bower continues: “She was irritated to discover that the Beckhams had considerably more wealth than herself. They owned five homes, had constant access to private jets, invitations to sail on yachts and much more money. And she was soon to be a duchess.”

Things soured between the women after a report leaked that Victoria had offered Meghan makeup advice, the book says ( 

Bower describes how Victoria made considerable effort to be friends with Meghan – despite the fact the Suits star “put on airs” when they first met – because of the longstanding relationship between the Beckhams, Prince Harry and Prince William.

According to the biography, Victoria kindly offered Meghan tips on where to find the best beauty spots in London – but the relationship between the two women soured when The Sun reported that Victoria had given Meghan makeup advice and the Duchess accused the former Spice Girl of leaking the story.

In Tom Bower’s latest book, The House of Beckham: Money, Sex and Power, serialised by the Mirror over the weekend, the focus is on David and Victoria Beckham’s enduring marriage, offering jaw-dropping claims about their relationship.

From why David’s former PA Rebecca Loos went public with her affair claims to the time Posh and Becks slugged it out in a media war and supposedly leaked negative stories about each other, Bower’s book probably won’t be taking pride of place on the Beckham family bookshelf.

The juicy title also makes explosive claims about Posh and Becks’ relationship with the Royal family, particularly their deteriorating bond with Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle. Here are the biggest bombshells from The House of Beckham.

Why Rebecca Loos sold her story

The recent Netflix documentary about the Beckhams, produced by David’s team, was dominated by an allegation that shook their relationship to its core. Rebecca Loos’ public claims of an affair with David in 2004 led Victoria to describe the aftermath as the “hardest period” for both of them.

Now, 24 years on from first claiming she had an affair with the former England captain, Rebecca has been thrust back into the spotlight. In The House of Beckham, it’s claimed Rebecca, who now lives a quiet life in Norway with her husband and their sons, decided to break her silence about her alleged affair with the former England captain after being disgusted by David’s behaviour towards a waitress.

Bower’s book suggests this seemingly minor incident was the catalyst for the biggest challenge in the Beckham’s nearly 25-year-long marriage. He writes: “The turning-point for Loos was realising Beckham’s double standards. After a meal for SFX employees at Madrid’s Hard Rock Cafe, Beckham did not leave a tip.”

The following day, the waitress handed Loos a note for Beckham, expressing her outrage that someone so famous and wealthy could be so tight-fisted. She explained that she depended on tips to make ends meet. Bowers writes that David was taken aback after reading the note and handed over a hefty amount of euros, saying, “‘Give her this”. He adds: “Reflecting in February about how Beckham had played her and lied to her, Loos was angry.”

Mulling over how her boss David had deceived and lied to her, Rebecca was livid. After being let go by Beckham’s agency SFX, Rebecca sold her story to the now defunct News of the World newspaper, alleging an affair behind Posh Spice’s back with the the Real Madrid footballer.

Furious Posh slapped Becks

In the days that followed Rebecca’s story dominating headlines across the world, the Beckham’s PR team orchestrated an image of unity at the snowy Courchevel ski resort to safeguard Brand Beckham’s image. “In a bravura performance the couple clung to each other she with an iron grip on his hand. Then they performed a piggy-back and smiled,” notes Bower in his book.

However, their closed-door affairs weren’t as picture-perfect. “Once the show was over they disappeared into their chalet….as everyone drifted off, one journalist looked through the Beckhams’ chalet window. Posh was slapping Beckham hard on his face. Beckham, famous for his ‘short fuse’, did not retaliate.”

Victoria’s transition to Spain wasn’t comfortable, making her life there quite disagreeable. “Her life in Madrid was lonely and unhappy. Although she had everything money could buy she was isolated. With few friends, she was unwilling to learn Spanish. Her diet, rigorous exercise and chain-smoking reflected her anxieties.”

Disastrous Vogue shoot

Victoria and David Beckham were reportedly battling to keep their marriage afloat years after the Rebecca Loos scandal, according to The House of Beckham. Despite overcoming that hurdle, the Beckhams faced renewed gossip about their relationship 14 years after Rebecca’s bombshell.

Amidst wild speculation of an impending divorce, Victoria and her PR mastermind opted for a bold Vogue interview and photoshoot to quash the whispers. “That would be an ideal platform to crush rumours of a split,” Bower writes, adding: “The interview would be accompanied with photographs of the Happy Beckham Family. David returned specially to London for the photoshoot….the entire Beckham family was to be photographed sitting as a harmonious group in a wooden rowing boat on a pond, which was to be shot as if it were a lake.

“But soon there was tension over whether David would appear in the shoot, with the footballer’s publicist adamant that he would not take part. Not mentioned was Beckham’s new opinion that his children should not be exploited for the brand,” Bower claims. “Unspoken was his apparent fury with Victoria’s endless self-promotion campaigns.”

He added: “The wrangling was followed by an outburst between Beckham and Victoria. Beckham relented. Finally, the family was shuffled on to the boat.” But what ensued could only be described as farcical. “Unexpectedly, once the six were afloat, Beckham insisted that his cocker spaniel Olive should feature in the shot too. The dog had 71,000 Instagram followers. Gingerly, the boat was pushed from the shore. Suddenly, Olive jumped into the water.

“Beckham was about to follow and rescue his pet. Screaming ‘No’, worried that his clothes would get soaked, several assistants plunged into the water to grab the dog. Victoria’s face turned to thunder. Another argument blew up. A sulk descended. Plans for the family photo were ditched.”

He goes on: “Victoria posed only with the children and the spaniel. In the aftermath, Beckham and Victoria posed as a twosome, separate and looking rather severe. But they were, as ever, consummate actors. No one looking at the perfect images could have imagined the dramas over the proceedings. The cover photograph would be of Victoria, and only with her four children.”

Posh’s Glasto scavenger hunt

David Beckham’s 2017 Glastonbury adventure didn’t quite pan out as expected, thanks to an unexpected appearance by his wife Victoria at Worthy Farm. While the couple admitted to being “against each other” in David’s Netflix series last year, they only briefly discussed their struggle to save their marriage in the early 00s when David was accused of having an affair with his former PA Rebecca Loos.

However, The House of Beckham suggests that the couple faced additional challenges years later – with the parents-of-four even engaging in a media battle through rival PR managers. Another low point for the Beckhams, as mentioned in the book, occurred in 2017 when Victoria gate-crashed David’s Glastonbury fun. Initially, David and a small group of friends, including his best mate Dave Gardner, attended the renowned British festival without Victoria, who was due to arrive later from New York.

The night before Victoria’s arrival, the group – which included married Lady Mary Charteris and a “glamorous Australian bikini model” – partied until 5am. The celebrations resumed at lunchtime the next day, only to be interrupted by a phone call announcing Victoria’s arrival.

“There was no hassle and a great mood until she landed,’ moaned one of the group,” Bower pens in The House of Beckham. “With her entourage, she zoomed off in a golf buggy through the scruffy campers to the VIP zone. She was livid that her husband hadn’t responded to her phone calls and had sent out a search party. Eventually, David showed up. Within seconds, they were caught up in a heated argument…. ‘They looked quite miserable,’ observed one onlooker, ‘but they managed to pose for the cameras’.”

Swipe at ‘desperate’ Geri Halliwell

Victoria reportedly “couldn’t stand” her former Spice Girls bandmate, Geri Horner, according to investigative journalist Tom Bower’s new book, The House of Beckham: Money, Sex and Power. Bower’s book reveals that during the height of the Spice Girls’ fame, while everyone loved David Beckham, “Victoria was different”. He quotes her as saying: “‘I can’t stand Geri,’ she said about her former best friend. ‘She is one of the most disloyal people I’ve ever known’.”

The book also alleges that Victoria ridiculed Geri for dating DJ Chris Evans in 1999. According to Bower, Victoria said: “Twisting the knife, she even scoffed at Geri for going out with DJ Chris Evans. ‘She’ll do anything to get publicity. Geri doesn’t care what she does as long as she gets in the paper’.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s snub

In addition to looking back on Victoria’s Spice Girls feud, The House of Beckham also examines Posh and Becks’ relationship with the Royal family, particularly their strained bond with Harry and Meghan Markle. The former England captain, 49, and Posh Spice, 50, attended both William’s 2011 wedding to Kate Middleton and Harry and Meghan’s nuptials in 2018. But according to journalist Bower, David’s friendship with both brothers didn’t sit well with Meghan.

Bower writes that ahead of their wedding, Meghan and Harry were irritated by David’s close bond with William, which had blossomed during the UK’s World Cup bid in 2010. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, already feeling insecure about their perceived lower status and wealth compared to the Cambridges, reportedly found Becks’ camaraderie with William annoying.

“Meghan appeared to want to punish the Beckhams,” Bower claims, adding: “Television pictures of the couple arriving at St George’s Chapel for the wedding showed Victoria stony-faced and David chewing gum. Meghan had not invited them to the wedding dinner. Her veto was an insult.”

He remarks: “After all, many guests such as George Clooney and other Hollywood stars invited that evening did not even know Meghan. Victoria’s sour expression also reflected her anger about David’s behaviour at a Soho House party the previous night. He had been buying drinks for a brunette while Victoria sat silently thunderous nearby. Worse still, that very morning the woman had posted photos of herself and Beckham on the web.”

The Mirror has previously contacted representatives for the Beckhams and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for comment.

Meghan Markle is said to have wanted “free handbags from Victoria Beckham before snubbing her”, according to a new biography.

Tom Bower’s new book – The House of Beckham: Money, Sex and Power – sheds light on the relationship between the Beckhams and the Sussexes and where it all went wrong. The former journalist says that the Duchess of Sussex longed to be like the fashionista.

According to the book, Meghan allegedly asked the Spice Girls star for free clothes and handbags while engaged to Prince Harry. But the request was “vetoed by the Palace for being against their rules,” Tom claimed.

The explosive book also claimed Meghan was “irritated” when she found out Victoria is richer than she is. It said she was annoyed when she found out the Beckhams had “considerably more wealth” than herself.

Cracks started to show in the relationship between the famous families in 2018, according to Bower who said that although the Beckhams did secure an invite to Harry and Meghan’s wedding, they were not invited to the wedding dinner. He also said that in spring last year, it became clear that the friendship between the couples was on the rocks when the Sussexes were not on the guest list for Brooklyn Beckham’s wedding – but Prince William and Kate Middleton were.

In the biography – which was released on June 20 – Bower said that Meghan had ranked herself above the Beckhams in the social pecking order and was fuming when she discovered that, despite her place in the Royal Family, Victoria actually scored higher in terms of wealth and fame. He claimed: “In Meghan’s celebrity world, ranking depended on wealth and fame. As a seasoned operator, Meghan deluded herself that her status in the Royal Family placed her above Victoria in the social pecking order.”

Bower continued: “She was irritated to discover that the Beckhams had considerably more wealth than herself. They owned five homes, had constant access to private jets, invitations to sail on yachts and much more money. And she was soon to be a duchess.”

According to the biography, Victoria kindly offered Meghan tips on where to find the best beauty spots in London – but the relationship between the two women soured when The Sun reported that Victoria had given Meghan makeup advice and the Duchess accused the former Spice Girl of leaking the story.

Elton John reportedly came up with a savage nickname for David and Victoria Beckham after learning about their alleged behaviour on his yacht.

In Tom Bower’s new book, The House of Beckham, the couple’s marriage and David’s alleged affair are explored along with explosive claims about Posh and Becks’ relationship with the Royal family, particularly their deteriorating bond with Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle.

Rebecca Loos, who famously claimed she had an affair with the footballer in 2004, reportedly wanted to break her silence about the alleged affair after being disgusted by David’s behaviour towards a waitress. Sir Elton also made jokes about David and Victoria after their treatment of his staff on his yacht.

It was claimed the iconic singer branded the couple “Takeums” after they failed to tip his staff when they joined him on his yacht. Last month, the Sunday Times Rich list put the couple’s net worth at £455 million ($575 million). The Mirror have contacted David and Elton’s reps for comment.

Elton has been close friends with Posh Spice for three decades and famously made a quick cameo in the 1997 Spice World movie. Victoria once revealed she was inspired to leave the Spice Girls by Elton in an emotional letter she wrote to her future self, stating watching him made her realise singing and dancing wasn’t for her.

Posh Spice wrote: “Remember years ago, watching your dear friend Elton John on stage in Las Vegas? He performed ‘Tiny Dancer’, as if it were the first time, and you realised this was like oxygen for him. It was a life-changing moment — while singing and dancing was fun for you, it wasn’t your passion. That day, you started your quest to uncover your own dreams. It was time to step away from being a Spice Girl.”

In fact, the pals are so close and Elton has enjoyed many holidays with the Beckham family. The Beckham children even refer to the Rocket Man singer as Uncle Elton – with David once jokingly warning ‘Watch out uncle’ while sharing a video of son Cruz’s impressive piano-playing skills.

Meanwhile, the new book, written by Tom Bower, claimed Rebecca’s annoyance at David’s behaviour towards the waitress was the catalyst for the biggest challenge in the Beckham’s nearly 25-year-long marriage. He writes: “The turning point for Loos was realising Beckham’s double standards. After a meal for SFX employees at Madrid’s Hard Rock Cafe, Beckham did not leave a tip.”

The following day, the waitress handed Loos a note for Beckham, expressing her outrage that someone so famous and wealthy could be so tight-fisted. She explained that she depended on tips to make ends meet. Bowers writes that David was taken aback after reading the note and handed over a hefty amount of euros, saying, “‘Give her this”. He adds: “Reflecting in February about how Beckham had played her and lied to her, Loos was angry.”

Victoria Beckham showed support to Nicola Peltz after the billionaire heiress was left shattered by tragic news in her family.

Earlier this week, 29-year-old Nicola, who is married to Victoria’s eldest son Brooklyn, revealed on social media that she was left completely “heartbroken” following the death of her beloved pooch. Nicola went on to add that June has been “the hardest month of her life”, as the actress also lost her grandmother just a few weeks ago.

On her Instagram page, Nicola opened up about the effect of the double loss, admitting she is struggling to find words to express her devastation. She began by saying: “This has been the hardest month of my life. I can’t even find the words to describe my heartbreak on so many levels.”

Nicola revealed her pet chihuahua Nala was “perfectly healthy when she went to the groomers yesterday but came out hyperventilating and couldn’t catch her breath” – and tragically died after being rushed to the vets. She added: “We rushed her to the vet and she passed hours later, her life was taken away from her way too soon. She was my beautiful queen and stayed by my side for 9 years through everything. 1 day without Nala on earth feels like an eternity. I wish I could have her back in my arms. I pray she’s with my Naunni. I hope I see them soon.”

Sending a message of condolence to Nicola, Victoria, 50, penned: “Thinking about you at this difficult time, we love you.” Meanwhile, Brooklyn, the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham, made a post calling their pet the “cutest little baby girl” and expressing that the couple “miss you beyond.”

Nicola and Brooklyn also share a puppy named Lamb. Nala’s passing follows the recent loss of Nicola’s grandmother, who was her maid of honour at her and Brooklyn’s 2022 wedding.

The actress previously spoke to People shortly after her special day, revealing that her grandmother helped calm her down when her emotions were at an all-time high. She gushed: “My Nani was my maid of honour. I remember… I get really nervous talking in front of people or in front of crowds, so I was nervous about that. But right before I walked down the aisle with my dad, I heard everyone clapping and cheering. It was because my Nani had her flowers, and she was dancing down the aisle, and that makes me so happy.”

Nicola paid tribute to her nan in a heartfelt post, writing: “I feel like I will never have the right words because I just don’t believe you’re gone. I’m so heartbroken and miss you so much. I’m so lucky you were my Naunni. You raised the most perfect daughter that I’m lucky enough to call my mom which is my biggest gift in life.”

Rebecca Loos famously claimed she had an affair with David Beckham in 2004, with the footballer vehemently denying the claims.

Her public claims of an affair with David led his wife Victoria Beckham to describe the aftermath as the “hardest period” for both of them. In Tom Bower’s latest book, The House of Beckham: Money, Sex and Power, it’s claimed Rebecca decided to break her silence about her alleged affair with the former England captain after being disgusted by David’s behaviour towards a waitress.

She alleged that she walked in on him in bed with Spanish model Esther Cañadas. It was claimed the incident happened when an upset Posh Spice called Rebecca in order to find her husband – who was said to be at a party at a footballer’s villa.

Rebecca reportedly found him in a bedroom with the model at 3am and told him that she ‘had his wife on the phone’. He got up to answer the call and she claimed she saw the model in the bed, which made her feel ‘very hurt’. Rebecca told her friend at the time: “I thought I was the only one.”

Victoria’s transition to Spain was difficult, making her life there unenjoyable. “Her life in Madrid was lonely and unhappy. Although she had everything money could buy she was isolated. With few friends, she was unwilling to learn Spanish. Her diet, rigorous exercise and chain-smoking reflected her anxieties.”

In recent years, Rebecca has stepped back from the limelight and rarely makes media appearances. She is now a married mother-of-two, Rebecca lives in Norway where she works as a yoga teacher and massage therapist. Opening up in the Netflix docuseries Beckham, David and Victoria explained how damaging the allegations were for their relationship.
