David and Victoria Beckham open up about alleged affair
David and Victoria Beckham have chosen to open up about the "unhappiest" period of their lives, in their highly-anticipated Netflix documentary.
The power couple candidly spoke about David's alleged affair in 2003, where he was accused of cheating with his former personal assistant Rebecca Loos after they were spotted leaving a night club in Spain.
The rumours spread just after David was transferred from the Manchester United club to Real Madrid .
David called the claims “ludicrous” at the time, and now his wife Victoria has also shared her heartache during that time, describing it as the "unhappiest in her life".
Ahead of the release of the four-part documentary series, director Fisher Stevens revealed how "unpleasant" it was for him to ask the couple such personal questions.
"It wasn't pleasant, but we got into it," he said.
"For me, I approached it as, "How did your marriage stay together?" and you'll see how he responds," he added.
Producer John Battsek also told The Sunday Times that the couple "signed up” to a nothing off-limits contract, and were happy to discuss tougher subjects.
“There was no, “You will not ask that or do that,’" he said
"Fisher and I thought that might be the case, but we were clear from the start that we would only do this if we could go in any direction we wanted. And we did," he added.
Aside from the alleged affair, the couple also opened up about their first date and are clearly still smitten with each other.
“The fact I went to the games really was to - some might say I stalked him, I would say see him," she joked about their first meeting at a charity football match in 1997.
She also added that she was immediately attracted to the football star when she spotted him chatting with his parents before the game.
“When I saw him in the footballers’ lounge, all the other footballers were at the bar, and he was standing and talking to his parents, and I’m very close to my family, and I loved that side to him.”
David's recollection of their first meeting was a bit more simple: “I just fancied her”.
The couple have been married since 1999 and have four kids together - sons Brooklyn, 24, Romeo, 21, Cruz, 18, and a daughter Harper, 12.
