Following the release of David Beckham's intimate documentary, Beckham, much of the attention was turned towards his alleged affair with Rebecca Loos

In the searingly honest documentary, which dropped on Netflix on Wednesday, both David and his wife Victoria reflected on the aftermath and how they had to adapt to life in Madrid when the reports came to light in 2004.

And then on Friday, Dutch model Rebecca – who was the football star's personal assistant – broke her social media silence, sharing a clip of the snow which had fallen overnight outside her home. "Hello Winter! Early as usual," she wrote, panning out over the frosty landscape.

According to MailOnline, Rebecca is now leading a very different life as a yoga teacher in Norway. The 45-year-old is no longer in the limelight after appearing in an array of reality shows. 

She spoke to the publication about giving up the city for a "very different" life and looking after her "little Vikings" – her two sons, Magnus and Liam – whom she shares with husband Sven.

The alleged affair was said to have happened in 2003 while David was playing for Real Madrid. And now, Spice Girls star Victoria has claimed it was "the most unhappy I have ever been" when the infidelity claims made headlines. However, the couple have always denied the claims. 

Speaking about how the paparazzi followed their every move, from leaving the house to during the school run, Victoria said: "It was an absolute circus – it's really entertaining when the circus comes to town, right? Unless you're in it."

She added: "It was very difficult for Brooklyn because he was older, and he had photographers screaming things. They used to scream things to Brooklyn about his mum and his dad."

"Here's the thing, we were against each other, if I'm being completely honest," the designer recalled. "Up until Madrid sometimes it felt like us against everybody else but we were together, we were connected, we had each other. 

"But when we were in Spain, it didn't really feel like we had each other either. And that's sad. I can’t even begin to tell you how hard it was. And how it affected me."
