David and Victoria Beckham have been married since 1999 and have four kids together. Yes, it's been more than twenty years since they started dating, yet there have been some sad stories about their relationship. Many times in the first few years of their marriage, David Beckham was said to have cheated on his wife. And it’s not a story where wife catches husband cheating!

David and Victoria had been married for just under five years when Rebecca Loos came forward in April 2004 and said she had an affair with the football star. Rebecca worked as David's assistant when he was at Real Madrid in 2003. The shocking news came soon after she was fired.
But Rebecca Loos wasn't the only woman who was accused of having affairs with David Beckham while they were married. People said that David Beckham kissed another woman while Victoria was pregnant with their first child.
Victoria wrote about this in her autobiography, "Learning to Fly," which came out in 2001. Also, it had stories about being on tour with the Spice Girls in 1998 while she was pregnant with their first child. At this point, David told her that he was being accused of kissing someone else.
In April 2004, Rebecca Loos gave an interview to Sky News in which she asserted that she had an affair with David Beckham while she was employed as his assistant during the latter half of 2003. She claimed to have had four sexual encounters with David between September and December that year and asserted that they continued to exchange text messages in the subsequent months.
David Beckham quickly put out a statement denying Rebecca's claims and stressing how happy he is in his marriage and how much he loves his wife and children.
Sarah Marbeck made her accusations against David Beckham after Rebecca's explosive interview. She said that he had been cheating on Victoria during the singer's tour. She also said that she and David had sent each other "sexually explicit texts" for two years.
Once more, David strongly denied these claims, calling them "absurd and unfounded." Victoria was there for her husband and said, "We've been through a lot worse, and we're going to get through this." The couple told their lawyers to take care of these issues.
Danielle Heath was the next woman to say she was seeing David Beckham. In October 2004, she said they had a sexual encounter in Madrid. As he had done before, David denied these rumors, and he and Victoria put out a statement saying they were fed up with people trying to make money off of their family. They made it clear that these claims were not true and that they were looking forward to having a third child.
The first time Victoria talked about the cheating claims was in an interview she did with David in August 2007. She agreed that they had been having troubles and said that the time had been tough for both of them. She did say, though, that their relationship had grown stronger and they were happier than ever.

Two weeks after David and Victoria shared their side of the story in the docuseries, Rebecca gave an interview to the Daily Mail. She insisted that David played himself as a victim in the show and accused her of making up stories to make herself look dishonest and to blame for Victoria's pain. Rebecca stuck to her original claims and emphasized how true they were. She was angry that David wasn't taking responsibility for what he did and thought that he shouldn't have talked about it if he wasn't ready to admit his part in it.
Wilda Harrison, a coaching psychologist, looks at this issue from a slightly different angle: "Although cheating is an awful behavior, ignoring the complexity of human relationships in favor of the claims against David Beckham misses the point. Victoria's response, which included punching David, shows that their marriage has deeper problems. We shouldn't label people negatively; instead, we should recognize the need for open conversation and healing in broken relationships. The actual problem here is that putting the blame on one person or another won't fix the real problems."
