England's World Cup hero Jude Bellingham is having the tournament of his life, but off the pitch, it's his girlfriend who's setting social media ablaze. Ashlyn Castro, a social media influencer with a massive following, posted a swimsuit photo that left fans absolutely speechless.
Castro, who has over 730,000 followers on Instagram, matched with the Real Madrid star on the exclusive dating app Raya back in 2024. Their relationship went public when they were spotted together at a Real Madrid match in 2025, and since then, she's become a fan favorite among football enthusiasts.
The photo in question, posted well before the World Cup kicked off, shows Castro rocking a sizzling swimsuit that instantly went viral. It's the kind of snapshot that makes you do a double take—and her followers certainly did.
While Castro is making waves online, Bellingham is doing his thing on the field. He scored twice in England's dramatic 3-2 win over Mexico in the Round of 16, a match that saw the Three Lions play with ten men for much of the second half. The victory was a testament to the team's grit and determination.
“I’ve never been more proud of a group of lads, a squad, a nation,” Bellingham said after the game. “It was a country’s performance. It felt like everything I’ve seen this week is the country behind us. To get this win is the best night of my England career so far, for sure.”
The win sets up a quarterfinal clash with Norway, and Bellingham is brimming with confidence. “Each player has a different responsibility on the pitch, but I know what I can offer to the team,” he said. “We’ve got 26 lads out there who can do exactly what I just did tonight. We shouldn’t fear anyone.”
It's a sentiment that echoes the recent swimsuit photos from Tyler Herro's girlfriend, which also took the internet by storm. But for Bellingham, the focus remains on the pitch.
England's defense held strong against Mexico, and the team's belief is sky-high. “I hope this win instills that belief in the squad because they deserve to feel that way about themselves,” Bellingham added.
As the World Cup quarterfinals approach, all eyes will be on Bellingham to see if he can lead England to the semifinals. Meanwhile, Castro will likely keep posting content that keeps her fans engaged—and maybe even a few more swimsuit shots to keep things interesting.
