England’s World Cup 2026 campaign is in full swing, and fans can't get enough of Jude Bellingham – both for his prowess on the field and his romantic life off it. Fresh from helping England clinch a victory over Norway, the 23-year-old Real Madrid star is making waves, but he's not riding solo. Enter Ashlyn Castro, the woman capturing his heart.
So, who exactly is Ashlyn Castro? Born on December 17, 1997, this California native is a 28-year-old influencer, model, and content creator. With over 700k Instagram followers, Ashlyn is no stranger to the spotlight. Her social media is a vibrant mix of tropical selfies, brand partnerships with Clarins, and chic lifestyle content. Despite being five years older than Jude, the age difference is just another number for this dynamic duo.
“The couple is very private about their relationship, but their chemistry is undeniable,” shared a close source.
The couple first sparked rumors in late 2024 when they reportedly matched on the celebrity dating app, Raya. Ashlyn was soon spotted with Jude’s family at a Real Madrid game, solidifying the whispers. Their relationship, though private, is peppered with public outings – from a Dallas soccer match to the Spanish tennis open.
Ashlyn isn't new to high-profile relationships. She was linked to Oscar-winning actor Michael B. Jordan back in 2017, although neither confirmed the buzz. There were also whispers of a connection with NBA star LaMelo Ball. Jude’s history isn’t without intrigue either. He was reportedly enamored with model Laura Celia Valk in 2024 and previously linked to TikTok creator Azra Mian and model Asantewa Chitty.
The world is watching as Jude Bellingham and Ashlyn Castro navigate their budding romance, and with their combined star power, this story is far from over.
