Biography |
Born in Madrid, Spain, in 1978, Rebecca Loos is of Dutch
(paternal) and English (maternal) descent. Her father, a
diplomat, and mother raised her in Spain until she was old
enough to venture out and tour the rest of Europe on her
own.
On June 17, 2003, British soccer star David Beckham signed a
four-year contract with Spanish powerhouse team Real Madrid,
thus ending his long relationship honeymoon with Manchester
United of the English Premier League.
The Beckham family needed help moving and settling into his
new country -- initially, his wife Victoria and children
were to remain behind in the United Kingdom. Beckham's
management company, SFX, sought out a young, capable woman
who could take on the role of personal assistant during this
transition period. Rebecca was hired for the position and
she immediately began getting the Brit sports icon
established and comfortable in Madrid.
As the story goes, Beckham and Loos worked closely together
for some time and then became intimate. When Rebecca
revealed the sordid details to the News of the World tabloid
in April of 2004, she explained that theirs was a whirlwind
four-month affair that included sexy text messages (which
were later published).
As soon as word of this mega-story broke, Rebecca Loos
became a household name. Given her lover's unparalleled
celebrity status in the U.K., this potentially
image-tarnishing news was gold to the famous British
tabloids. Rebecca added fuel to the fire by divulging
sensitive information about Beckham's celebrity wife
Victoria before conveniently slipping another admission to
the media hounds that made them even hungrier: the
confession that she was a bisexual.
Rebecca capitalized on the sudden attention. First, she did
a high-profile interview on British television entitled
Rebecca Loos: My Story. She then tried her hand at hosting
her own program on Dutch television, but that, predictably
enough, fizzled after only a handful of airings.
What didn't fizzle were Rebecca's revealing lingerie photos
in Loaded, a popular men's magazine. This shoot, coupled by
a Fall 2004 appearance on The Farm, a popular reality show,
extended Rebecca's 15 minutes of fame.
In fact, it turned out that Rebecca's reports of lesbian
affairs and text-sex messages weren't the most scandalous
things she could do. On The Farm, she made headlines and
grossed-out many a viewer by masturbating a pig to orgasm.
Loos next appeared on Extreme Celebrity Detox yet another
reality series to feature lower-scale celebs doing silly
things. This program sent Loos to Thailand to discover how
she could get in control of her sexuality.
The attention-hungry Rebecca next made headlines on Dream
Team, a long-running British soap opera following the lives
of soccer players on a fictional Premiere League squad. She
appeared in a guest role as a sports psychologist and once
again, tabloids drew parallels between the show and Loos'
personal drama with Beckham.
A common sight at high-profile parties and movie premieres,
Rebecca remains in the British spotlight thanks to her
outspoken nature, occasional interviews and acting
aspirations. Only time will tell if she is able to actually
hang on to her celebrity. |
