England midfielder Jude Bellingham has kept his eyes on the World Cup 2026 even as his relationship with girlfriend, Ashlyn Castro, has dominated headlines in recent weeks. Both Bellingham and Castro appear to value their privacy despite being publicly together for two years.
Who Is Ashlyn Castro?
Ashlyn Castro was born on December 17, 1997, in California, where she grew up. Interestingly, she is six years older than Bellingham, who was born in 2003. Castro is a popular social media influencer who has collaborated with numerous brands. Her content focuses on fashion, makeup, and travel vlogs, and she maintains an active online presence.
Currently, Castro boasts over 650,000 followers across her social media platforms, making her one of the most prominent influencers in recent times.
Relationship Details
While it is not publicly known how Bellingham and Castro first met, their relationship appears serious. Castro has been spotted cheering for Bellingham at matches and interacting with his parents. However, both remain strictly private about their high-profile romance.
Past Link to Michael B. Jordan
In 2017, photos of Castro sitting on Hollywood actor Michael B. Jordan's lap at a party sparked rumors. Neither Jordan nor Castro commented on the speculation and have remained silent on the matter.
World Cup 2026 Focus
For Bellingham, winning the World Cup 2026 for England remains a top priority. In an interview with Lion's Den, he stated: "The first thing is that everyone has to be ready, because I've learned that the player who scores the decisive goal in a World Cup final isn't always the most obvious name."
He added: "The other thing is that you have to savor these moments. You have to appreciate the training sessions, the matches, the suffering when you're on the pitch; you have to enjoy the feeling of being up against the wall. And when you win, you have to fully enjoy the feeling of having overcome another country. Because it's a huge success."
