NBA star ex-boyfriend of Jude Bellingham's new love interest Ashlyn Castro speaks out on cheating rumours that involve Real Madrid midfielder

England international Bellingham is being romantically linked to influencer Castro. They have been spotted dining in the Spanish capital, while the American model recently joined Bellingham’s parents in their family box for Real’s Champions League win over RB Salzburg.

The pair are said to have enjoyed several dates, but questions have been asked of when they got together. Castro has faced accusations of linking up with Bellingham while still in a relationship with basketball player Mann.

A source has told Game Set & Match that said speculation is “all lies”, and LA Clippers guard Mann has now responded to the rumours during a TikTok live session. He said: “Ashlyn is cool, people. I don’t know why everybody is on her head about anything. She’s cool. Me and Ash are cool. We haven’t been together for a long, long, long time. She’s doing her thing. Let her do her thing. 90% of the stuff I see on the internet about Ash is false…it’s crazy! Let her live, let her do her thing, let her be herself. When I met Ash, she had her own stuff, had her own money, her own wave. We met through a friend…there wasn’t no…. she wasn’t out here trying to like see who I was or do any of that.

“Y’all just on her back, on her body about nothing. Y’all mad that she what??? Like c’mon. She ain’t do nothing; she’s cool. She ain’t no gold digger. Y’all just doing too damn much. No! She did not cheat. We haven’t been together in.....I don’t know how long. So calm that narrative down. You could let that go. And that’s that on that!”

Bellingham was recently linked to Dutch model Laura Celia Valk and Spanish popstar Aitana, although both of those supposed relationships have been played down. He now appears to have coupled up with Castro, with unwelcome gossip there also being cleared up.
