Rebecca Loos, who made headlines in the early 00s for claiming an affair with David Beckham, is now happily married to a man she says is "nothing like" the football star. The former glamour model, 46, met her husband, Sven Christjar Skaiaa, while filming reality show 71 Degrees North in 2008. Sven was working as a medic behind-the-scenes on the show when they hit it off.
The couple welcomed their son Magnus Leon Loos Skaiaa in 2009. Rebecca shared that before meeting Sven, she had "gone off men" and "just wanted them for sex". Rebecca's claims of an affair with David, following his move from Manchester United to Real Madrid, were described as "ludicrous" by the footballer.
Despite this, Rebecca referred to herself as his "second wife" and made several TV and public appearances after making the allegations. After gaining notoriety, Rebecca has since stepped back from the spotlight. She has appeared on shows like The Farm, Extreme Celebrity Detox, Temptation Island and The X Factor: Battle of the Stars, and even graced the cover of Playboy.
The former PA shared that she knew Sven was "The One", but wasn't in a hurry to tie the knot.
She also compared him to football legend David Beckham, saying: "He'd never have an affair in a million years. He's different to David [Beckham]. I would never cheat or lie to Sven because I love him so much." In 2012, Rebecca and Sven got hitched in a small ceremony and moved to Hemsedal, a tiny hamlet in the Norwegian mountains, with their two sons Magnus, 12 and Liam, eight.
Their home in Buskerud county in southern Norway is quite remote, being a three-hour drive from the nearest airport and two hours from the closest hospital.
