On October 4, 2023 the documentary “Beckham” released on Netflix, in the Victoria49, and David Beckham, 48, look back on her eventful life – and speak more openly than ever. This is how they comment on David’s alleged affair for the first time Rebecca Loos as well as his depression. The focus of the documentary, however, is the former footballer’s career, which brought him and his family to Los Angeles. The power couple quickly made prominent contacts in the City of Angels Tom Cruise, 61, they would have been close. But there is said to have been an argument about which the “Mission: Impossible” actor is still said to be angry.
Tom Cruise threw a big party for Victoria and David Beckham
After his many years at Manchester United, David Beckham was under contract with Real Madrid for four years from 2003.

In the documentary, she emphasizes that she was “more unhappy there than ever in my entire life.” A change had to be made.

None other than Tom Cruise made it his mission to give “Becks” and his wife a warm welcome. The actor did so by hosting a star-studded party at the Museum of Contemporary Arts. Cruise’s wife at the time Katie Holmes, 44, Will Smith, 55, Jada Pinkett Smith, 52, Jim Carrey, 61, Brooke Shields, 58, and Eva Longoria, 48, were just some of the famous guests. In the years that followed, Cruise and the Beckhams appeared together in public several times: whether with the children at a circus visit, at ice hockey games or at the “Vanity Fair” Oscar party.

Is Scientology the reason for the break?
Because there has been silence between the “Top Gun” star and the British couple for years. “Tom did everything for them when they first moved to LA. He basically gave them the keys to the city,” an insider told the National Enquirer, according to Radar Online, adding, “He was for They threw him a party so they could meet all the important people, and once they were established, they dumped him.”
David and Victoria tried to approach him again, but the 61-year-old blocked them. “He’s still angry and has no intention of being friends with them again,” the source said. One reason for the break is said to have been Tom Cruise’s Scientology membership. He tried to win the Beckhams over to the religious movement, which put pressure on the couple. Because the Hollywood star “didn’t take no” for an answer. Therefore, the ex-footballer and the fashion designer had no choice but to withdraw. That in turn hurt the “Vanilla Sky” actor. It therefore seems as if reconciliation is not in sight for the time being.
