Jude Bellingham and Girlfriend Ashlyn Castro: Real Madrid Star Shares Rare Birthday Tribute

Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham has delighted fans by sharing a rare glimpse into his private life with a romantic birthday tribute to his girlfriend, Ashlyn Castro. Despite keeping their relationship largely away from social media since they began dating in January, the England international took to Instagram on Wednesday to post a series of "loved-up" photos. Captioned simply, "Happy birthday my love," the post confirms that the couple is stronger than ever, effectively silencing any lingering breakup rumors that surfaced earlier this autumn.

While Bellingham continues to find his form under manager Xabi Alonso in La Liga, Ashlyn Castro—an American model experienced in navigating the limelight—remains a steady support figure, often spotted in the stands at the Santiago Bernabéu. This public display of affection comes at a pivotal time for the 22-year-old star as he bounces back from summer shoulder surgery. With three goals in his last five matches and a recent return to Thomas Tuchel’s England squad, Bellingham is proving he can handle the pressure of both his high-profile career and a high-profile relationship as Real Madrid chases Barcelona at the top of the table.
