England Midfielder Jude Bellingham’s Partner Ashlyn Castro Gains Spotlight at 2026 World Cup
During the 2026 World Cup, alongside Jude Bellingham’s impressive performances for England, his partner Ashlyn Castro has attracted significant attention. Castro, a 28-year-old American model and social media influencer from California, has been seen supporting Bellingham from the stands throughout the tournament. She has a substantial online following on Instagram and TikTok, where she shares content related to fashion, beauty, lifestyle, and travel.
Castro’s career includes collaborations with brands like Clarins and PrettyLittleThing, as well as appearances in music videos such as DJ Khaled’s “Popstar” featuring Justin Bieber and rapper Baby Keem’s clip. Before gaining fame, she worked in a restaurant, was signed to a modeling agency, and was involved in her late father’s business ventures. She also explored music in her youth.
The couple’s relationship began drawing public interest in late 2024 after interactions on Instagram. By early 2025, Castro was spotted at a Real Madrid match with Bellingham’s mother, marking the start of their public appearances together. They have since been seen at various events, including the Madrid tennis tournament, and Castro has become a regular presence at England’s World Cup games. The pair were even caught sharing a private moment after one of England’s victories.
Despite media attention, Bellingham and Castro maintain privacy about their relationship. Reports suggest they met via the dating app Raya, though this remains unconfirmed. Castro has previously been linked to celebrities like actor Michael B. Jordan and NBA players, but she has never confirmed those rumors. As Bellingham rises as a football star, Castro’s independent career and growing public profile make her a notable figure beyond just being his partner.
