England and Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham wasted little time making his feelings clear after his girlfriend Ashlyn Castro’s return to Instagram.
Castro had not posted in almost four months on the social media platform before her sharing her latest snaps on Saturday, but Bellingham was quick to comment with a green love heart.
The influencer and model then responded with a kissing-face emoji as the couple made a very public display of their affections.
It was revealed in January that Bellingham, 21, and Castro, 27, were dating, with the footballer going public with his new partner in February as he flew back from Real Madrid’s Champions League clash against Man City at the Etihad alongside her.
The pair have since been seen together on multiple occasions, including last month at the Bernabeu as they watched a Real game from the stands alongside Bellingham’s mum Denise.
However, the start of Castro’s relationship with Bellingham has been marred by claims about Castro’s past along with an escort site hoax.

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.
And, in an emotional monologue on TikTok of more than 10 minutes, Castro, who has more than 600,000 followers across Instagram and TikTok, 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 onto 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.’
Castro’s former partner Mann has previously publicly defended her and similarly refuted false allegations made about the influencer.
‘Ashlyn is cool, people,’ Mann told his viewers in a TikTok live stream. ‘I don’t know why everybody is on her head about anything. She’s cool. Me and Ash are cool.’
He added that he was certain Castro was not unfaithful and that people should ‘calm that narrative down’.
