MODEL beauty Ashlyn Castro has turned Jude Bellingham’s head – and already charmed his parents.
The American influencer, 27, has enjoyed a string of dates with the Three Lions hero in Madrid.
Ashlyn and Bellingham were snapped heading for a lunch date in the Spanish capital earlier this week.
It came after she watched the Real Madrid star from a private box at the Bernabeu alongside his parents Denise, 56, and dad Mark, 48.
A model and influencer, Ashlyn hails from Los Angeles, California.
She has been linked with a string of A-listers in recent years, including Creed actor Michael B. Jordan.

Jordan and Ashlyn were snapped dancing the night away as the pair swigged from bottles of champagne at a St. Tropez club.
A year later, she denied online whispers she was dating basketball star LaMelo Ball.
The rumour mill went into overdrive after one of Ashlyn’s followers congratulated her on the apparent relationship.

Castro originally liked the comment but later confirmed it was a mistake, insisting she was just friends with the NBA star.
Ashlyn enjoys the jet-setting lifestyle and shares her worldwide travels to 154,000 Instagram fans.
While her bikini-clad snaps from beaches around the world have amassed thousands of admirers.
She has recently posted snaps from high-end eateries in New York, LA and Madrid.
The influencer is also a big hit on TikTok, posting regular makeup tutorials and amassing over 1 million likes.
Despite her globetrotting lifestyle online, Ashlyn likes to keep her personal life away from the spotlight.
After tragically losing her father to Covid in 2021, she wrote on Instagram in a moving tribute: “I’ve never been one to share anything too personal on [social media].
“I keep the people I love most closest to my heart, I want to protect them at all costs.”
Bellingham, 21, has been dubbed one of the world’s most eligible bachelors.
In the space of four years, the Stourbridge native went from playing in the Championship with Birmingham to lifting the Champions League trophy with Real.
He penned a monster £70million contract after joining Real from Dortmund in a £115m deal.
Bellingham and England teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold went on holiday to LA after last summer’s Euros.
Shortly after, he and Castro began exchanging likes on their respective Instagram pages.
The £220,000-a-week midfielder split from Ghanaian model Asantewa Chitty in 2023.
He was linked with a “completely smitten” Laura Celia Valk last summer.
But the Dutch beauty has since confirmed she is single in a recent Q&A with fans.
Bellingham has settled into life in the Spanish capital, living in the exclusive La Finca neighbourhood alongside a host of A-list stars.
Properties fetch up to £11million in the area, which offers the privacy that Bellingham craves.
Jude’s teammate Kylian Mbappe has also bought in the district, which is guarded by round-the-clock security and infrared cameras.
Bellingham’s mum Denise moved over with her boy to get him adjusted to life in Spain.

He explained: “My mum is there to just keep everything neutral really.
“Without my mum, sometimes I’d get too low with the lows or too high with the highs and I stay pretty humble because I’ve got her around.”
