Jude Bellingham whisks girlfriend Ashlyn Castro away to Sardinia for holiday on £1m superyacht as Real Madrid star misses start of season due to shoulder surgery

England international Bellingham has plenty of spare time on his hands at present as he continues his recovery from shoulder surgery. An operation to fix a long-standing problem means that the 22-year-old midfielder has missed the start of the 2025-26 campaign.

With no competitive action to contend with for club and country, Bellingham has - as reported by The Sun - headed off for a relaxing break with his model and social media influencer partner.

Bellingham and Castro have been spotted in Sardinia, Italy, on a £1 million superyacht that can be hired for £25,000-a-week. They have been bathing in the sun and cosying up for the odd romantic clinch.

Bellingham and Castro have tried to keep their relationship as private as possible, with little insight being offered through their respective social media channels. Castro has, however, become a regular at Real Madrid games alongside Bellingham’s family.

She also posted after helping the Three Lions star to celebrate his 22nd birthday: “Most thoughtful, kind hearted, hard working, incredible human I've ever met. You bring so much light into this world.”

Bellingham would like to be back in action at some point in October, but may see his return date pushed back into November as no risks are taken on his fitness. Castro will be hoping to see Bellingham grace her native United States with England at the World Cup finals next summer.
