Jude Bellingham had all eyes on him Tuesday night, not just for his last-minute heroics on the pitch but also for making things official with American model Ashlyn Castro.
The 20-year-old football star played a crucial role in Real Madrid’s 3-2 victory over Manchester City, leaving their Champions League hopes hanging in the balance.
But after sealing the win, it was his off-field appearance that sparked just as much buzz.
Spotted alongside Castro and his mother, Denise, Bellingham was seen preparing for Madrid’s flight home, marking the couple’s first public outing together.
The sighting comes after weeks of speculation about their romance, fueled by social media interactions and casual outings in Madrid.
From Social Media to Romantic Getaways
Rumors about Bellingham and Castro started swirling last month when the two were seen grabbing lunch together in Madrid.
Friends claim the pair had been on multiple dates before stepping into the spotlight.
Their connection seemingly grew after they began liking each other’s posts online, although neither has made an official statement about their relationship.
Adding to the intrigue, reports suggest Bellingham has now left the exclusive celebrity dating app Raya.
While some sources claim he was still active on the platform after meeting Castro, others believe he may have simply forgotten to deactivate his profile.
Meeting the Family and Addressing Speculation
Castro appears to have already made a great impression on Bellingham’s inner circle.
She was seen chatting with his parents, Denise and Mark, in the family box at the Bernabéu during Madrid’s Champions League clash against Red Bull Salzburg on January 22.
Despite past rumors linking her to Hollywood star Michael B. Jordan and NBA player LaMelo Ball, sources close to Castro insist there was no overlap between her previous relationships and her connection with Bellingham.
Her ex-boyfriend, LA Clippers guard Terance Mann, even addressed the speculation directly, telling fans in a TikTok live session that there was no bad blood.
“Ashlyn is cool, people,” he said, urging everyone to move on from the gossip.
A Glimpse into Ashlyn Castro’s World
Castro’s Instagram offers a window into her vibrant lifestyle.
Whether she’s exploring art galleries, sipping cocktails at high-rise bars, hiking through mountain landscapes, or hitting the gym, her feed paints the picture of someone with a passion for creativity and adventure.
Originally from Los Angeles, she’s made a name for herself as a model and social media personality, boasting over 240,000 followers.
Bellingham’s Past Links and Rising Stardom
Before Castro, Bellingham was rumored to be involved with Dutch model Laura Celia Valk.
While the two never publicly confirmed their relationship, speculation ran wild, fueled by a publicity stunt from Pretty Little Thing, a Manchester-based fashion brand where Valk works as a model.
Despite reports that she was “smitten” and had spent time at Bellingham’s Madrid home, Valk shut down the rumors in December, confirming she was single.
Meanwhile, Bellingham’s career continues to soar.
Since joining Real Madrid, he has secured a Champions League and La Liga title, all while becoming one of the most marketable young stars in football.
His endorsement deals with luxury brands like Louis Vuitton, Adidas, and Skims have only added to his growing global appeal.
What’s Next for Bellingham?
With his love life making headlines and his football career reaching new heights, the next few months will be pivotal for Bellingham.
As Real Madrid pushes for another Champions League trophy and La Liga title, fans will be watching closely—both on and off the field.
Whether his romance with Castro continues to flourish remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Jude Bellingham is enjoying every moment of his rise to superstardom.
