Jude Bellingham declares his love for model girlfriend Ashlyn Castro as she returns to Instagram for the first time in three months
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'.

Brentford to drive hard bargain for Bryan Mbeumo after Man Utd links
Brentford may ask for a higher fee for Bryan Mbeumo after claims that he has decided to join Manchester United. The Premier League club have had no contact with United over Mbeumo and have, as yet, not even quoted a transfer value to potential suitors for the 25-year-old forward. There is therefore irritation at Brentford as to how the potential deal is now apparently being played out in public. One source said it would 'all look a bit silly' for United if a fee was not agreed after the latest reports. Mbeumo has one year left on his contract at Brentford, although it includes an option for the club to extend for a further 12 months. Thomas Frank, the head coach, has already spoken about the possibility of the France-born Cameroon international leaving this summer – but later qualified this by saying it would take 'a nice, nice amount, it is a lot' to sign Mbeumo. Despite his apparent desire to join United, Brentford also know there are other clubs interested in Mbeumo. That includes Newcastle United, who have been scouting him for several years and can offer Champions League football. There is a belief that it would cost about £60 million to sign Mbeumo, which might be too much for Newcastle. Brentford are known as tough negotiators when it comes to player sales, and there is no release clause in his contract. Last season was Mbeumo's most productive since joining from French club Troyes in 2019, with 20 league goals and seven assists as he stepped up following the sale of Ivan Toney and helped lead Brentford to a 10th-place finish.

Former European champions set to be offered 70,000-seater new stadium as mayor backs ‘$1billion' new project
FORMER European champions Hamburg could be offered a brand new stadium as part of Germany's Olympic bid. The city is set to enter the race to become the nominee for Germany for the second time. 2 2 Hamburg residents previously rejected the opportunity to become the select city for Germany to host the games at the ballot box in 2015. But now they could be persuaded by the promise of a new stadium, which would become home to Hamburg after the Games. The new $1billion arena could boast a capacity between 60,000 to 70,000. And it will be built even if Germany's bid to host the summer Olympics fails, according to Germany Interior Senator Andy Grote. Hamburg mayor Peter Tschentscher has backed the project and handed over the necessary bid documents to the DOSB - Germany's Olympic body. He said: "The bids of previous decades consisted of a city being rebuilt to accommodate the Olympic Games. And we reversed this principle." The city shouldn't adapt to the Games, "but rather we adapt the Olympic concept to our city," he added. The new stadium would be built right next to Hamburg's iconic Volksparkstadion, which has been their home since 1953. A refurbishment of the ground was completed in 2000 for the 2006 World Cup - it seats 57,000 fans. Germany's Olympic body still needs to decide whether to bid for the 2036, 2040 or 2044 Summer Games. Germany last hosted the Olympics in 1972 in Munich. Bids from Berlin for 2000 and Leipzig for 2012 failed, while Munich's bid for the 2022 Winter Games was also stopped by a referendum.

Here come the boys... As Dior picks British man as its top designer, just ONE of the leading fashion houses is now led by women
British designer Jonathan Anderson has been announced as the creative director of Christian Dior womenswear, finally confirming the worst kept secret in fashion and ending its longest game of musical chairs. Although if you want to have a seat at fashion's top table, you need more than a chair. Increasingly, it seems, you also need to be a man. Already head of Dior menswear since April, Anderson replaces outgoing designer Maria Grazia Chiuri as head of womenswear – leaving British designer Sarah Burton, creative director at Givenchy, as the only female heading up one of the 14 couture houses. After Virginie Viard left her position as head of Chanel last year, she was replaced by Matthieu Blazy, and only last month Dario Vitale took over Versace after Donatella stepped down. Of more concern than Anderson's gender, however, is whether he's man enough to rise to the challenge of designing 18 collections a year. As creative director, he will oversee four Dior womenswear collections per year, as well as four more for menswear. He's also charged with designing two haute couture collections a year, his first time at turning his hand to fashion's most demanding level of craftsmanship. But Anderson, 40, also helms his own label, JW Anderson, which demands six collections a year, as well as the two collections he's contracted to design for Uniqlo. Only Karl Lagerfeld has managed such a prolific output. Clearly Bernard Arnault, chairman and CEO of luxury behemoth LVMH, which owns Dior, has faith in Anderson. In Monday's statement announcing the move, Arnault described the softly spoken Northern Irishman with a prodigious work ethic as 'one of the greatest creative talents of his generation'. Indeed, not since Christian Dior himself has the house been united under one creative vision. Unusually for a fashion designer, Anderson is as good at marketing as he is at making clothes. Like Lagerfeld, he is a polymath, as interested in art, literature and film as fashion. It's this cross-cultural pollination that makes Anderson so valuable. During 11 years at Loewe, the house he helmed before Dior, revenues soared from around 200million euros (£169million) to more than 1.5billion euros (£1.27billion). Thanks to a knack for creating a buzz on social media, Anderson ensured a cultural reach that went far beyond fashion. With sales at LVMH down 5 per cent, a lot is resting on Anderson's midas touch. But he has some loyal teams to help him. It's just as well: his first Dior menswear collection is to be unveiled in just 24 days' time on June 27. His first womenswear show follows on October 1 at Paris Fashion Week. Forget cracking open the champagne: it might be time to open the Red Bull.
