THE BIGGER PICTURE
According to The Sun, Bellingham and Castro have been dating for several months, with the American influencer first making an appearance at the Santiago Bernabéu during Real Madrid’s commanding 5-1 Champions League victory over RB Salzburg in January. The day after that match, the pair was seen enjoying a lunch outing in Madrid. More recently, Castro was present at the Etihad Stadium, witnessing Bellingham’s dramatic late winner that helped Real secure a crucial away win against City.
DID YOU KNOW?
Castro hails from Los Angeles, the same city where Bellingham and his England teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold spent part of their post-Euro 2024 holiday last summer. Notably, the 20-year-old football sensation recently deactivated his account on the celebrity dating app Raya, a move that many believe signals his growing commitment to his relationship with Castro.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR BELLINGHAM?
With Real Madrid now holding the advantage in their Champions League knockout tie, Bellingham will shift his focus to the second leg at the Santiago Bernabéu next week, where his side will aim to finish the job and advance to the quarter-finals.
Aside from their European campaign, Los Blancos remain serious contenders for multiple titles this season. They are battling to retain their La Liga crown while also advancing in the Copa del Rey, where they have secured a place in the semi-finals. With Bellingham in exceptional form, Real Madrid is well-positioned to challenge for silverware across all fronts.
