Ashlyn Castro had already built a career as a model and content creator before her relationship with England midfielder Jude Bellingham brought her wider international attention during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The California-born influencer has worked with brands including Clarins, built an Instagram following of more than 700,000 people and appeared in DJ Khaled's 2021 music video for 'Popstar'.
The 28-year-old has been linked with the Real Madrid midfielder since early 2025. The pair have largely kept their relationship private despite appearing together at Real Madrid matches, the Madrid Open and England fixtures during the World Cup.
