Real Madrid star and heartthrob Jude Bellingham may be off the market. After being spotted with model Ashlyn Castro, the soccer player has reportedly left the celebrity dating app Raya.
© Diego SoutoCastro and Bellingham have not confirmed any rumors, but all signs are pointing to a relationship. In photos published on X, the 27-year-old was in the midfielder's family box at the Bernabeu during Madrid's 5-1 win over Red Bull Salzburg in the Champions League on January 22.
The model was even talking to his parent Denise and Mark, which, as we saw with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, is a pretty big step. Per Tribune, she even gave his mom a heartfelt hug.

Who is Ashlyn Castro?
Castro has more than 240k followers on her Instagram account at the time of this publication, where she shares beautiful photos of herself. She is also active on TikTok, where she has over 58k followers.
She is 27, but rumors started swirling around social media that she is actually older. While men date younger women all the time, the model caught an onslaught of hate with people saying she was too old for the 21-year-old, claiming she was actually over 30. She reportedly shut down speculation she was lying about her age on Instagram earlier in February.
Castro is no stranger to dating famous men. The beauty was also linked to Michael B Jordan in 2017, and they were photographed cozying it up and parting hard on the French Riviera.
She was also linked to NBA players LaMelo Ball and Terance Mann. There were rumors that she got linked up with Castro when she was dating Mann, but the basketball star, who plays for the LA Clippers, shut it down.
"Ashlyn is cool, people. I don’t know why everybody is on her head about anything. She’s cool. Me and Ash are cool," he said on TikTok live, per DailyMail, "We haven’t been together for a long, long, long time. She’s doing her thing. Let her do her thing. 90% of the stuff I see on the internet about Ash is false… it’s crazy!"
