Jude Bellingham has given a rare glimpse into his romantic lifestyle with his model girlfriend Ashlyn Castro.
The Real Madrid star, 22, paid a heartfelt tribute to the 28-year-old American on her birthday with a post on Instagram.
Bellingham and Castro have enjoyed a fairly public relationship since it was revealed that they were dating back in January.
Castro sometimes watches Bellingham at the Santiago Bernabeu and they have been seen together on multiple occasions, though they don’t post each other often on social media.
In his latest revelation, the England star shared various photos of them spending time together and called her ‘my love’.
One of those shows images Castro sitting by a fire and wearing a Real Madrid shirt with his name and number on the back.
Some other photos show the duo wearing colour-coordinated outfits as they spend time on the sofa and hugging on a night out.
And Bellingham was only returning the favour after Castro posted a glowing tribute for him back in June.
In June, Castro declared that she ‘loves Bellingham so much’ in a post to her half a million Instagram followers.
The influencer also revealed a short clip of the pair singing karaoke together, though fans hopeful of hearing the England star’s vocal talents will be left disappointed by the audio of SZA’s ‘Snooze’ played over the clip.
The adorable window into their relationship included Castro’s claim of Bellingham being ‘the best karaoke partner’, equalled by her affirmation in the following image of him as the ‘best dance partner’.
In another snap, the pair were pictured in a tight embrace in a red room.
Bellingham and Castro have been seen together on multiple occasions since going public earlier this year, including last month at the Bernabeu as they watched a Real game from the stands alongside Bellingham’s mum Denise.
Castro also sat shoulder-to-shoulder with Denise as the pair watched Madrid star put in a 90-minute shift during England’s 1-0 win against Andorra. At recent matches, fans suggested that there may be tension between Castro and Bellingham’s mother but at their latest outing, all seemed well between the two.
The 27-year-old’s penultimate reveal in her catalogue of loved-up images showed the pair out for dinner and contained her most impassioned ode to the young footballer.
She wrote: ‘Most thoughtful, kind hearted, hard working, incredible human I’ve ever met. You bring so much light into this world.’
The start of Castro’s relationship with Bellingham was marred by claims about her past along with an escort site hoax.
This led to her taking a four-month break from social media, only returning earlier this month, with Bellingham quick to react to her post.
She was previously linked with Hollywood actor Michael B Jordan and NBA stars LaMelo Ball and Terance Mann, while a viral video also claimed that Castro had dated Lewis Hamilton and Jamie Foxx after making tenuous links between social media activity.
In an emotional monologue on TikTok of more than 10 minutes, Castro put to bed several false rumours.
‘I don’t even know where to begin, but I’m going to try my best to just get into it,’ she said in a video that was titled ‘The hardest part is not speaking the truth, but finding the courage to do it’.
She went on to debunk several claims made about her, including allegations of being unfaithful.
‘It makes me super uncomfortable talking on camera about my personal life,’ Castro added. ‘I’ve never even really spoken on camera too many times, so bear with me.
‘Every angle you can think of, people have attacked me, harassed me, been so disrespectful. It’s just been too much.
‘Let’s talk about this dating history. I’ve had three boyfriends over the last eight years. In 2017, I was in my very first relationship and he’s a public figure, so because of that, I’ve dealt with people talking about me, making up things about me.
‘There was nothing on the internet about me prior, so people kind of just made up a bunch of things to justify hating me because of who I was dating at the time.
‘And then over the last six years after that, I’ve dated two people. So three relationships in total.’
