Jude Bellingham’s Girlfriend Ashlyn Castro Embroiled in Public Family Dispute as England Push On at 2026 World Cup

A private family dispute has entered the public domain following a series of social media posts by Tina Marie Young, the mother of Ashlyn Castro, who is in a relationship with England and Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham. Young, a former model currently residing in a Los Angeles shelter, used TikTok to publicly criticise her daughter and appeal directly to Bellingham, according to a Daily Mail report.

In the videos, Young addressed Bellingham by name, questioning his character in connection with her daughter’s alleged behaviour. “Who is this Jude Bellingham? You disobeyed your mum, lied about her, left her in shelters,” Young said in one post. In a separate message, she added: “Come on, Jude Bellingham, who are you with my beautiful daughter, who has left her mum in shelters, lying about her? Who are you? Are you lying too?”

Young also reportedly described the conditions she has faced while living in the shelter system, citing issues including bedbugs and cockroaches, and claiming she sometimes feels greater safety outside such facilities, according to the Daily Mail.

Castro, 28, has rarely spoken publicly about her family background. However, according to the same report, she has previously stated that her mother lives with schizophrenia and has not taken medication for more than a decade. Castro has also reportedly expressed interest in mental health advocacy and has been involved in initiatives supporting individuals dealing with severe mental illness.

Bellingham and Castro have been publicly linked since early 2025, and the pair have become one of football’s more prominent couples. Castro has been a regular presence at Real Madrid fixtures, and public interest in the relationship has grown in line with Bellingham’s status as one of the sport’s most recognisable figures. The 2024-25 season saw Bellingham continue to establish himself at the Santiago Bernabéu following his high-profile move from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2023.

The dispute has drawn heightened attention given its timing during England’s 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign, though the matter has no bearing on Bellingham’s professional commitments. England are among the contenders at the tournament, with Bellingham serving as one of the team’s key players under their current management setup.

As of the time of publication, neither Bellingham nor Castro has issued any public statement in response to Young’s social media posts. The situation remains a personal and unresolved family matter that has been drawn into public view through social media.
