Jude Bellingham Spotted with Instagram Model Ashlyn Castro in Madrid

MADRID, Spain — Real Madrid superstar Jude Bellingham, 21, has been seen publicly for the first time with his rumored new girlfriend, American Instagram model Ashlyn Castro, 27. The couple reportedly met Bellingham’s parents during a Real Madrid match this week, sparking speculation about their relationship.

The pair were spotted in Real Madrid’s family box on Wednesday, where Castro chatted with Bellingham’s mother, Denise, 56, and father, Mark, 48. Witnesses noted that Castro hugged Denise as Bellingham’s team secured a 5-1 victory against Salzburg. The following day, the couple was seen having lunch together in Madrid.

Friends close to the pair revealed that they have been on several dates after initially connecting through social media. Bellingham was reportedly drawn to a November Instagram post featuring Castro in a low-cut dress. Castro, who boasts 140,000 Instagram followers, is from the U.S. and has previously been linked to actor Michael B. Jordan and NBA player LaMelo Ball, 23.

In July 2021, Castro faced personal tragedy when her father died from COVID-19 at age 59. She paid tribute to him on social media, calling him her “superman.” Meanwhile, Bellingham was named Britain’s most eligible bachelor by Tatler magazine in October, with rumors suggesting he was active on the celebrity dating app Raya.

This is not the first time Bellingham’s love life has made headlines. Earlier this year, he was linked to Dutch model Laura Celia Valk, 26, who later confirmed she was single. In 2023, he was reportedly dating Ghanaian model Asantewa Chitty and U.S. star Azra Mian.

Neither Bellingham’s agent nor Castro responded to requests for comment. The couple’s public appearance has fueled speculation about their relationship status, with fans eagerly watching for further developments.
