Ashlyn Castro from California works as a model and influencer. She and Jude Bellingham have largely kept their relationship out of the spotlight, despite several public appearances together. Castro was also spotted cheering on England during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Ashlyn Castro rose to prominence with one of the biggest stars in soccer.
The American model and content creator has been linked to England international and Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham since early 2025. Since then, the pair have appeared together in public several times, from Real Madrid games to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, but the details of their relationship have largely been kept out of the spotlight.
Long before she started making headlines with Bellingham, Castro was already building a career as a model and influencer, with a large following on social media.
Here’s everything you need to know about her.
She is from California.
Mr. Castro was born on December 17, 1997 in California.
Although she has shared glimpses of her journey and career online over the years, she has kept much of her personal life private from the public, including details about her family and upbringing.

Castro built a career as a model and influencer.
She has amassed over 700,000 followers on Instagram, where she shares content that combines fashion, beauty, travel, and lifestyle. Her page also features partnerships with brands such as Clarins.
Beyond social media, Castro appeared in DJ Khaled’s 2021 “Pop Star” music video.
She and Jude Bellingham have been dating since early 2025.
Neither Castro nor Bellingham have spoken publicly about their relationship, but they have been photographed together numerous times since early 2025.
The first photo was released in January, when they were seen having lunch together in Madrid after Real Madrid’s Champions League match against RB Salzburg.
Shortly after, Castro was spotted in a private box with Bellingham’s family during a match between Real Madrid and Girona, further fueling speculation about their relationship.
In the months that followed, the couple continued to appear in public together, including at the Madrid Open in April.
In June 2026, Mr Castro was also photographed greeting England with a kiss after the opening match between England and Croatia in Dallas.
They have gradually been sharing glimpses of their relationship.
Although the couple has kept their romance mostly private, they have occasionally given us small glimpses of their life together.
In June 2025, Castro celebrated Bellingham’s 22nd birthday with a series of Instagram Stories featuring the couple singing karaoke, dancing together, and kissing. Along with one clip, she called him her “best karaoke partner,” and in another she described him as her “best dance partner.”
Later that summer, they were photographed vacationing together in Sardinia while Bellingham was recovering from shoulder surgery in preparation for the new season.
She has stayed away from social media for most of her life.
Although Mr. Castro has a large online audience, he generally avoids sharing many details about his personal life.
Instead, her Instagram primarily focuses on fashion, beauty, travel, and brand collaborations rather than daily updates.
That approach continues despite growing interest in the relationship with Bellingham. Although the two have been photographed together numerous times, neither has spoken publicly about their relationship in interviews.
She also became a familiar face at the 2026 World Cup.
As England compete in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Castro has often been seen cheering Bellingham on in the stands.
She was photographed celebrating with the midfielders after England’s first win over Croatia, and later featured in several of the team’s matches during the tournament.
On 1 July, she attended England’s 2–1 win over the Democratic Republic of the Congo, arriving before kick-off and was captured by a cameraman cheering on Bellingham and the team from the stands.
As England progressed through the tournament, Castro continued to travel around the United States to support Bellingham. She posted the photo from Florida on July 12 after England played Norway in the quarter-finals at a stadium in Miami. “Sunny state 💛,” she captioned her Instagram.
Bellingham left an adorable comment: “🫠😍.”
