Jude Bellingham is England’s star midfielder and the Three Lions’ World Cup 2026 talisman, but off the pitch his life is just as headline-grabbing. The 23-year-old Real Madrid superstar shares his world with a five-year-older influencer, a £5m mansion in Madrid, and his mum.
Who is Jude Bellingham dating?
Bellingham’s romance with 28-year-old influencer Ashlyn Castro began in 2024, when fans spotted their social-media flirtation. The pair went public in late 2024, dined together in Madrid in January 2025, and were soon seen courtside at the Bernabéu. Castro, a Californian model and business owner, has attended multiple World Cup 2026 matches in the USA, including England’s 4-2 group-stage win over Croatia on 18 June. She posted a kiss on his cheek after that game.
How old is Ashlyn Castro?
Castro is five-and-a-half years older than Bellingham, born in 1998 to a family with deep roots in the beauty industry. She runs The Four Models, her own talent agency, and has worked with brands like Clarins and DJ Khaled. In a 2025 TikTok video, she defended her personal life after online trolls dug into her past relationships.
Where does Jude Bellingham live?
Bellingham owns a £5m mansion in Madrid’s most exclusive districts, a retreat from the Bernabéu’s glare. The property sits among the city’s luxury real-estate hotspots, reflecting his status as one of world football’s top earners. He has also been spotted living with his mum during downtime, a detail that adds a homely touch to his high-profile lifestyle.
What’s next for Bellingham?
On Wednesday night, Bellingham steps into the World Cup 2026 semi-finals against Argentina in what’s already the biggest match of his career. The 23-year-old has six goals in the tournament so far, including braces in back-to-back knockout wins over Mexico and Norway. With Harry Kane injured, Bellingham carries the Three Lions’ hopes against Lionel Messi’s Argentina. Off the pitch, his romance with Castro continues to make headlines as he chases glory in North America.
