“The House of Beckham,” written by biographer Tom Bower, was released on June 20, 2024,. It explores Beckham’s alleged affair with Loos, citing various sources, including magazine articles from the early 2000s.The book claims that Beckham was lonely in Spain after signing with Real Madrid. He reportedly grew close with Loos when they went for drinks, and they started sleeping together soon after.”In his suite, Loos discovered that ‘David was a sensational lover — the sex was highly charged and explosive. David’s stamina was extraordinary.’ Repeatedly he said, ‘I know we shouldn’t be doing this but I can’t help it. It makes me so happy,'” the book claims.It goes on: “Loos would add, ‘He’d been going weeks without sex, trying to stay faithful to Posh.’ One exchange in bed that night impressed Loos. ‘You’re so lucky,’ she said. ‘You could have anyone.'”The book also claims that Loos decided to go public with the alleged affair after she and Beckham went to Madrid’s Hard Rock Cafe one night with other employees from the management company he was signed with.The next day, a Hard Rock waitress gave Loos a note explaining that Beckham didn’t tip for the service. When Loos passed the note to Beckham, he allegedly gave his assistant money to pay the waitress to preserve his image.”After reading the note, Beckham was alarmed. ‘Give her this,’ he said, handing over a thick wodge of euros,” the book added.Loos reportedly told her friend, PR manager Emma Basden, why she decided to go public about the alleged affair.”Angered by both the secrecy and the abuse of her loyalty she looked for an opportunity to hurt him. Not least because on their first night in bed he said that she was his first secret relationship. ‘I know I will be up against the most powerful family in the world,’ she told Basden.”
