Jude Bellingham and Ashlyn Castro Declare Affection Amid Controversy

London, England — Jude Bellingham, star midfielder for Real Madrid, publicly expressed his affection for girlfriend Ashlyn Castro on social media following her return to Instagram.

On Saturday, Castro shared her first post in nearly four months, catching Bellingham’s attention. The 21-year-old commented a green love heart on her photo, prompting Castro to reply with a kissing-face emoji, signifying their blossoming relationship.

Reports surfaced in January that the couple began dating, and they were seen together at Real Madrid games, including a recent outing with Bellingham’s mother, Denise.

However, their relationship has not been without controversy. Castro has faced scrutiny over her past romantic connections, including links to actor LaMelo Ball and NBA player Terance Mann. She recently addressed these rumors in a candid TikTok video, detailing her experiences with online harassment.

In her emotional 10-minute monologue, Castro stated, “I’ve dealt with people talking about me, making up things about me” regarding her dating history. She described the discomfort of discussing her personal life, emphasizing, “It makes me super uncomfortable talking on camera about my personal life.”

Castro clarified that she has had only three relationships over the past eight years. Her former partner Mann defended her, asserting that she is not unfaithful and advising critics to reduce their negativity.

With both Bellingham and Castro in the spotlight, the couple continues to navigate the challenges of public scrutiny while showcasing their affection. As rumors swirl, their bond appears to strengthen, with supporters cheering them on.
