Jude Bellingham’s Personal Life Takes a Turn
Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham, the 21-year-old English midfielder, seems to be navigating a significant chapter in his personal life. Reports suggest that Bellingham has deleted his profile from Raya, an exclusive celebrity dating app, a move that has sparked widespread speculation about his romantic life. The deletion of his Raya account comes after he and American model and influencer Ashlyn Castro, 27, have been seen together in Madrid. The couple’s growing closeness has been evident, as Castro even attended a Champions League match at the Santiago Bernabeu, sitting in the family box with Bellingham’s parents. This visible display of intimacy has fueled rumors that their relationship is becoming serious.
The Raya Profile Deletion: A Sign of Commitment?
Until recently, Bellingham’s Raya profile was still active, which surprised many. A source told The Sun, "I couldn’t believe it when I saw Jude was still on Raya. This isn’t a regular dating app. His profile was linked to his verified Instagram account. Let’s hope he just forgot it was active or has an understanding with Ashlyn." However, recent reports from The Daily Mail indicate that Bellingham has now removed his Raya profile. This action is seen as a strong indication that he is ready to commit to Castro. The deletion of his dating app profile suggests a level of seriousness in their relationship, a step that many fans and media outlets are interpreting as a positive sign of a blossoming romance.
Who is Ashlyn Castro?
Ashlyn Castro, a 27-year-old model and influencer with over 140,000 Instagram followers, has a colorful dating history that has been well-documented in the media. She has been linked to several high-profile celebrities, including Hollywood actor Michael B. Jordan and NBA star LaMelo Ball. Rumors also surfaced that she was still involved with basketball player Terance Mann when she started seeing Bellingham. However, Mann addressed these rumors on TikTok, saying, "Ashlyn is cool. People need to stop making things up." Similarly, Bellingham was linked to Dutch model Laura Celia Valk last year, but Valk has since stated that she is single. Despite the media scrutiny, Castro and Bellingham appear to be navigating their relationship with grace and maturity.
Bellingham’s Stellar Performance on the Field

Pep Guardiola’s Praise and the Upcoming Match

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has acknowledged the difficulty of containing Real Madrid’s dynamic attack. "It’s impossible to control all four of them for 90 minutes," Guardiola admitted, referring to Bellingham, Vinicius Jr., Mbappe, and Rodrygo. This recognition from one of the world’s top managers is a testament to Bellingham’s growing influence and the strength of the Real Madrid squad.
