David Beckham has accepted “substantial” libel damages from a newspaper which claimed he “made a play” for model Mariann Fogarasy.
The 34-year-old footballer was not at London’s High Court for the settlement against Express Group Newspapers over the article, published in April.
The Daily Star claimed Mr. Beckham had been emailing Ms Fogarasy with “private party” invitations since they met.
The paper has retracted the claims and accepted he did not behave that way.
Completely untrue
Kate Wilson, who was representing the newspaper, apologised to the Beckham family for the distress, embarrassment and injury caused.
Mr. Beckham’s solicitor, Gerrard Tyrrell, told Mr. Justice Eady that the serious and defamatory allegations were completely untrue.
The article had been splashed across the front page of the paper and was also published on its website.
It had claimed the emails began after the pair met at a recent AC Milan match.
It has not been disclosed how much Mr. Beckham, who has been married to former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham for nearly 10 years, will receive from the paper.

David Beckham is stripping down to his skivvies again.
Emporio Armani unveiled the soccer star’s newest underwear ad Thursday in London.

Thousands of fans gathered to meet Beckham and check out his nearly-nude photo — which graces the entire facade of the Selfridges department store.
“David has a great sense of style and is an inspiring role model –- this is what makes him the perfect partner for Emporio Armani underwear,” Giorgio Armani tells Usmagazine.com in a statement. “I am very excited that David Beckham’s new campaign image was unveiled exclusively in his home country — and where better than at such an iconic retail destination as Selfridges.”
