Jude Bellingham has been publicly observed for the first time alongside his alleged new partner, Instagram model Ashlyn Castro.
The Real Madrid midfielder, aged 21, is reportedly in a relationship with 27-year-old American model Ashlyn Castro. Their emerging romance appears to be progressing, with reports indicating that Ashlyn was introduced to Jude’s parents during a Champions League match in Madrid.
Ashlyn, who boasts 148,000 followers on Instagram, was observed engaging in conversation with Jude’s mother, Denise (56), and father, Mark (48), in the family box at the Bernabéu Stadium, as Real Madrid secured a 5-1 victory over Salzburg.
At one stage, Ashlyn was seen exchanging a warm embrace with Jude’s mother, Denise. The following day, Jude and Ashlyn were spotted dining together, further intensifying speculation regarding the nature of their relationship.
According to The Sun, sources close to the pair allege that they have gone on multiple dates, initiated after engaging with each other’s Instagram posts through likes.
MailOnline has reached out to Jude’s representatives for comment.
Ashlyn, a Los Angeles native, is notably from the city where Jude and his teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold vacationed following the EUROS.
She is no stranger to high-profile relationships, having previously been linked to Creed actor Michael B. Jordan and NBA player LaMelo Ball.
The model, who boasts over 30,000 followers on TikTok, frequently shares videos of herself lip-syncing to songs, showcasing makeup tutorials, and highlighting her daily outfits.
In 2021, Ashlyn experienced the tragic loss of her father to Covid. In a heartfelt tribute, she referred to him as her “Superman.” She shared a video of him playing the drums, accompanied by black-and-white photographs, heartfelt text exchanges, and the following message:
*”I’ve never been one to share anything too personal on here. I keep the people I love most closest to my heart, I want to protect them at all costs. I feel this is important though…
My dad was Superman to me. I never had to worry about him. He taught me so much in such a short period of time. We were the closest we’ve ever been this year.
He was the one I called whenever I just needed reassurance about life. He finally had his dream home where he loved having my brother and I, plus our friends, over for dinners.”*#newsafro_
