Jude Bellingham's Girlfriend Stuns In Sizzling Swimsuit Photo
England soccer star Jude Bellingham appears to be thriving on and off the pitch.
Bellingham was the hero for England in the Round of 16, scoring two goals in a 3-2 win over Mexico. Despite being down a man for most of the second half, England's defense held strong in the closing minutes at Azteca Stadium.
"I've never been more proud of a group of lads, a squad, a nation," Bellingham said. "It was a country's performance. It felt like everything I've seen this week is the country behind us. All we've talked about this week is how difficult it's going to be in an unbelievable atmosphere against a very good team. To get this win is the best night of my England career so far, for sure."
England's win over Mexico guaranteed them a date with Norway in the quarterfinals.
With England set to compete in the quarterfinals this Saturday, it appears Bellingham's girlfriend, Ashlyn Castro, is going viral.
Castro, a social media influencer with over 730,000 Instagram followers, reportedly matched with Bellingham on the celebrity dating app Raya in 2024. They were eventually seen together at a Real Madrid game in 2025.
Well before the World Cup even started, Castro was turning heads on social media.
Castro posted a few swimsuit photos that legitimately left her Instagram followers speechless.
Bellingham isn't lacking confidence.
Prior to this Saturday's quarterfinal, Bellingham expressed a tonn of belief in England's squad.
"Each player has a different responsibility on the pitch in terms of their roles, but I know what I can offer to the team, but we've got 26 lads out there who can do exactly what I just did tonight, I'm convinced of it and I hope that a win like this can give them that same conviction," Bellingham said. "We shouldn't fear anyone, we shouldn't wait 40 minutes, 50 minutes, 60 minutes to realize that we're a very good team. So I hope that this winning instils that belief in the squad because they deserve to feel that way about themselves."
We'll see if England books a spot in next week's semifinals.
