KEY POINTS:
One of the UK's most notorious It-girls has taken up with Kiwi sports star Matthew Ridge, telling a British newspaper she has met and fallen in love with a former rugby player who is bringing her happiness.
Rebecca Loos - best known for almost ending the marriage of former England football captain David Beckham and his Spice Girl wife Victoria - told Ireland's Independent newspaper this month she had found lasting love.
"I would love to eventually retire to New Zealand and have kids running around on the beach," she said. "It is amazing how the simpler things in life really matter."
The London-based buxom brunette, who has also dated three international tennis players, met Ridge on the set of Celebrity Treasure Island last month. The couple are now reported to be holidaying in Kerry, Ireland.
Loos, who was once Beckham's personal assistant, makes regular headlines in Britain for her topless photo shoots and a professed penchant for both men and women. She sold her Beckham story to British tabloids after an affair with the football star in Spain.
Ridge was formerly married to Sally Ridge, with whom he has two children. He then lived with Nicky Watson, the former wife of his friend, multi-millionaire businessman Eric Watson.
