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.
Rebecca, a former glamour model, often shares glimpses of her wholesome life on Instagram. She's usually seen walking her dogs through the mountains or practising Ashtanga yoga in a cosy-looking studio.
"Now I spend my time practising yoga, running, biking and hiking and foraging for wild food for my two young sons. Life is very different," she previously told The Sun.
Speaking to Mail Online, Rebecca said: "I like the way my life has taken me. If I hadn't been famous, I would not have been invited on the TV show where I met my husband Sven and had my lovely boys. I would not have had the life I have now."
In his new Netflix documentary, Beckham, David and Victoria have opened up about the rumours of his supposed infidelity, which he has always denied, and the tough time it brought. "There were some horrible stories that were difficult to deal with. It was the first time that me and Victoria had been put under that kind of pressure in our marriage," shared 48 year old David.
Victoria, former Spice Girl, confessed it was the lowest point in their marriage. "One hundred percent. It was the hardest period for us. Because it felt like the world was against us. And here's the thing; we were against each other, if I'm being completely honest. You know, 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 that 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."
When asked how they survived, David added: "I don't know how we got through it in all honesty. Victoria is everything to me. To see her hurt was incredibly difficult. But we are fighters. And at that time we needed to fight for each other, we needed to fight for our family.
"And what we had was worth fighting for. But ultimately it's our private life."
