Rebecca Loos, the former personal assistant to David Beckham, has spoken out following Brooklyn Beckham’s explosive public statement criticising his parents, adding another layer to the increasingly public Beckham family feud.

Loos, who made headlines in 2004 after alleging a brief affair with the former England footballer, a claim Beckham has consistently denied, reacted to Brooklyn’s comments on social media, expressing support for the eldest Beckham child and his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham.

“So happy he is standing up for himself and speaking publicly finally!!!!” Loos wrote in response to Brooklyn’s statement. “I have felt so bad for his poor wife, knowing too well what they can be like!”

In a separate comment, Loos added, “The truth always comes out,” a remark widely interpreted as a reference both to Brooklyn’s claims and to her own long-running dispute with the Beckham family.

Brooklyn, 26, shared a lengthy Instagram statement earlier this week in which he said he “does not want to reconcile” with his family. He accused his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, of controlling the narrative around their family life and undermining his marriage, saying he was “standing up for myself for the first time in my life.”

The public reaction has intensified scrutiny of long-standing tensions within the Beckham household, which have reportedly been simmering since Brooklyn and Nicola’s wedding in 2022. The couple’s relationship with the wider family has appeared strained in recent years, with Brooklyn notably absent from several major family events.

Loos’ comments have drawn particular attention given her history with David Beckham, whose denial of her affair allegations remains one of the most controversial episodes of his career. Her decision to weigh in now has reignited debate around power, control and image management within the Beckham brand.

Neither David nor Victoria Beckham have publicly responded to Loos’ remarks or to Brooklyn’s accusations. As the fallout continues, the family feud shows little sign of easing, with outside voices now adding to what has become one of the most closely watched celebrity disputes in recent years.
