Sharon Bell, 58, is accused of sending the former Manchester United and England international a series of letters as part of repeated attempts to contact him since 2016.
She also allegedly attended ten-year-old Harper’s school, trying to get to know the star’s daughter.
However, Bell is now facing charges of stalking after she allegedly turned up at the Beckham family home in west London, reports The Sun.
She was banned from approaching or texting David, his pop star wife Victoria, and their children Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, or Harper under a temporary stalking order introduced last December.
Bell is also banned from being within 500m of Beckham’s £6m Cotswolds mansion in Oxfordshire, the famous couple’s west London home and daughter Harper’s school.
The temporary order has been issued for five months, and magistrates will decide at a hearing next week whether a permanent order of protection from retaliation is needed.
Bell, from Watford, will appear before Westminster Magistrates’ Court on March 28.

Bell is barred from contacting the Beckham family (pictured) under a temporary order introduced in December.
The 58-year-old is also banned from being within 500m of Beckham’s £6m Cotswolds mansion in Oxfordshire (pictured).
The Metropolitan Police say it engaged in “acts of harassment,” while calling the order “necessary to protect” the Beckhams.
It is understood that Scotland Yard applied for the order after the Beckhams were subjected to a “harassment campaign” by Bell against one of their children.
She allegedly contacted the family in 2016, claiming to be the mother of one of the children.
David is known to have received a letter from Bell to his Oxfordshire home on 9 July before receiving a second message in the mail to his London address in September.
Between July and November last year, Bell also allegedly visited the family’s private addresses and was reported to have waited outside a school attended by one of the children.
