Here to stay? Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham’s new girlfriend Ashlyn Castro 'knows how to navigate the limelight'

The England international has been romantically linked to American model and influencer Castro after the pair were spotted dining together in the Spanish capital. They have since made time to see each other outside of Bellingham’s professional commitments.

Castro has joined Bellingham’s friends and family at Champions League games, with the 27-year-old well versed in dating prominent personalities. She has previously hooked up with Hollywood actor Michael B Jordan and NBA star Terence Mann.

She has another A-lister on her arm in ‘Galactico’ Bellingham, but questions are already being asked of how long their relationship will last. Castro is, however, being backed to handle the demands of seeing her private life thrust under the microscope.

An insider has told The Mirror: “What is certain is that Ashlyn knows how to navigate the limelight. With several years of experience in the world of A-listers, she understands how to maintain intrigue while keeping her private life private. Whether she becomes a permanent fixture in Jude's world or fades into the background remains to be seen. But for now, the only certainty is that wherever Ashlyn goes, attention follows.”

Bellingham appears to be smitten, as he has removed his profile from the celebrity dating app Raya. He has also been distanced from Dutch model Laura Celia Valk and Spanish popstar Aitana, with talk of supposed link ups there being played down.
