Inside Jude Bellingham’s Relationship With Influencer Ashlyn Castro.
Jude Bellingham has just made things public with Ashlyn Castro in a way that left no doubt about where they stand. After being away from social media for months, Ashlyn popped back onto Instagram, and her first post didn’t go unnoticed. Jude slid in with a green heart emoji, and Ashlyn responded with a kissing-face emoji. That one small exchange told a bigger story — this isn’t a secret fling anymore.
The pair first sparked headlines back in January, and since then, the Real Madrid star and the Los Angeles model have been spotted more than once. From catching a game at the Bernabéu with Jude’s mom to showing up after Madrid’s Champions League faceoff with Manchester City, they haven’t been hiding.
Ashlyn Castro, who is 27, works as a model and content creator. With more than 600,000 followers between Instagram and TikTok, she’s no stranger to attention. Still, being with a footballer of Jude’s level brought a wave of gossip and online drama. A viral clip on social media threw her name into wild conversations, tying her to a list of famous names — Michael B. Jordan, LaMelo Ball, Terance Mann, Lewis Hamilton, even Jamie Foxx — all based on little more than comments and likes. People online were quick to jump to conclusions.
Instead of letting the noise build up, Ashlyn stepped forward and addressed the rumors herself. She posted a ten-minute video on TikTok that laid everything bare. The title was honest and heavy: “The hardest part is not speaking the truth, but finding the courage to do it.”
In the video, she calmly explained that she’s only ever been in three relationships over the past eight years. She shot down the cheating claims completely and said she’s always kept her personal life low-key — until now.
Ashlyn talked about how dating a public figure back in 2017 changed everything. She went from being unknown to being dragged into gossip threads and judgment online. She said people made things up just to have a reason to hate her, and it took a toll. Every angle, every story, someone had something negative to say. The hate, the DMs, the disrespect — it built up and weighed her down.
Still, she found the strength to speak out. She admitted it wasn’t easy to talk about her private life on camera, but she felt it was time. Her message was clear: she’s not who the internet says she is.
Backing her up was NBA player Terance Mann, one of her exes, who jumped on a livestream to shut things down. “Ashlyn is cool, people. I don’t know why everybody is on her head about anything. She’s cool. Me and Ash are cool.” He also told viewers to stop pushing the cheating rumors, calling them false and tired.
Despite everything, Jude and Ashlyn seem more solid than ever. They aren’t letting online talk shake them. They’re living in the open, dropping little moments here and there, and doing it on their own terms.
