Bellingham's new partner targeted by online trolls in viral 'escort site' hoax

Jude Bellingham's new girlfriend Ashlyn Castro has been targeted by online trolls over an 'escort website' hoax, after fans discovered her dating history.

Real Madrid star Bellingham recently went public with Castro and was spotted watching his side's game against Girona on Saturday alongside the American model.

The midfielder missed the game through suspension after being sent off in his side's draw with Osasuna when referee Jose Luis Munuera Montero dismissed the England international for swearing.

However, the biggest talking point from the match wasn't the 2-0 victory for Madrid but, instead, was the brutal hoax which fans pulled after pictures of Bellingham and Castro went viral.

One user on X shared a picture from a site called 'DynastySeries.com' - which some claimed was a luxury escort website - and a profile on it for 'Ashlyn Castro'.

However, shortly after, photographer Brian Parker debunked the wild fan theory and revealed that the site had taken pictures from a previous shoot he did with Castro.

Taking to Instagram, he wrote: 'This website has been taking photos from my Instagram page from actual photo shoots I've done.

'Ashlyn has never been associated with adult websites like you're claiming. All of these so called 'never before seen photos' are public and have been on Instagram where anyone can see & save the photos for whatever. It's common sense'.

Bizarrely, however, fans noted that Parker does in fact follow the supposed escort website on Instagram.

After the viral photo went viral, other users on X were quick to bring Castro's alleged dating history to light.

She was previously linked with Hollywood actor Michael B Jordan and NBA stars LaMelo Ball and Terance Mann, although there were rumours that the relationship with Bellingham began before the end of her previous romance.

However, the viral video also claimed that Castro had previously dated Lewis Hamilton and Jamie Foxx after making tenuous links between social media activity.

Castro and Mann are said to have stopped dating last November, around the time she and Jude began to interact, but sources close to the model denied this.

This has seemingly been confirmed by Castro's ex, LA Clippers guard Mann, who ended the rumours on a TikTok live stream.

'Ashlyn is cool, people,' Mann told his viewers. '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'.

Castro, who hails from Los Angeles, appears to live a varied and artistic life based off her exploits on Instagram.

The model has shared photographs from art galleries, skyscraper bars, mountain landscapes, and the gym, along with several selfies.

Meanwhile, Bellingham saw his side earn a comfortable 2-0 win on Saturday thanks to goals from Vinicius Jnr and Luka Modric.

With the win, Madrid once again moved level on points with arch rivals Barcelona in LaLiga, but they remain second on goal difference.
