Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham and his new girlfriend, Ashlyn Castro, have been at the center of social media buzz since confirming their romance last week.
However, their budding relationship has not been without its share of rumors and controversies. Amid the swirling speculation, sources have now stepped forward to dispel false claims about the couple, setting the record straight once and for all.
Jude Bellingham, the 21-year-old English football sensation, recently went public with his relationship with Ashlyn Castro, a 27-year-old LA-based Instagram model. While many fans were thrilled to see the couple confirm their romance, others quickly began circulating rumors about Ashlyn’s age and dating history.
One of the most persistent claims was that Ashlyn was still involved with her ex-boyfriend, an NBA player, when she began dating Jude. This rumor sparked heated debates online, with some fans questioning the timeline of her previous relationship and her connection to the Real Madrid star.
Ashlyn’s Statement on Her Age
Earlier this week, Ashlyn took to social media to address one of the most widespread rumors about her age. Several publications had falsely claimed she was older than 27, prompting her to release a statement on Sunday, January 26, to clarify the facts.
“I’ve seen a lot of false information going around about my age, so I just want to set the record straight. I’m 27, not older, as some people are claiming. It’s important to me to be honest and transparent with everyone,” Ashlyn wrote.
Her statement was met with support from fans, who appreciated her willingness to address the rumors head-on.
Sources Dispel Dating Rumors
Now, a source close to Ashlyn has come forward to debunk the claims that she was still involved with her ex when she started dating Jude. The insider dismissed the rumors as baseless and untrue.

“It’s all lies. People are obviously going to come up with different tales, but none of it is true. It’s funny how they imagine new theories every day about someone they know nothing about. Just weird!” the source said.
The insider confirmed that Ashlyn’s previous relationship with the NBA player had ended by November of last year, though the exact reason for their split remains unclear.
Around that time, Jude and Ashlyn had begun casually interacting on social media, exchanging likes on Instagram. However, it is still unknown when exactly they decided to take their relationship to the next level.

Despite the controversy, Jude and Ashlyn appear to be focused on their relationship and enjoying their time together. The couple’s public debut has been met with a mix of excitement and skepticism, but they seem determined to rise above the noise.
Jude, who has been in stellar form for Real Madrid this season, has remained tight-lipped about his personal life, choosing to let his actions on the pitch speak for themselves. Meanwhile, Ashlyn has continued to share glimpses of her life on social media, showcasing her vibrant personality and strong sense of self.
