Jude Bellingham has seemingly fueled dating rumours around his reported romance with American model Ashlyn Castro after leaving high-profile dating app Raya.
Real Madrid superstar Bellingham has been rumoured to be dating glamorous model Castro, 27, and the couple were spotted heading out for lunch in Madrid just last month.
Castro has already met the midfielder's parents and chatted to his mum Denise and dad Mark in the family box at the Bernabeu during Madrid's 5-1 win over Red Bull Salzburg in the Champions League on January 22.
Friends say they have been on several dates after they began liking each other's social media posts although neither has officially confirmed the relationship.
According to The Sun, the England international was thought to have a profile on dating app Raya despite the rumours of his burgeoning romance with Castro, though reports would now suggest he has left the service.
A source told The Sun: 'I couldn't believe it when I saw Jude was active on Raya. This isn't your average dating app and the profile is linked to his verified Instagram account.

Bellingham has thrived in Madrid since arriving from Borussia Dortmund ahead of last season
'Let's hope he just forgot his was active - or that he's made a prior arrangement with Ashlyn.'
Castro, who has over 140,000 followers on Instagram, was previously linked with Hollywood actor Michael B Jordan and NBA star LaMelo Ball, though there were rumours that the relationship began before the end of her previous romance.
They are said to have stopped dating last November, around the time she and Jude began to interact. Sources told the outlet that the speculation was 'all lies'.
This has seemingly been confirmed by Castro's ex, LA Clippers guard Terance Mann, who ended the rumours once and for all on a TikTok live.
'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'.
Bellingham had been linked with Dutch model Laura Celia Valk last year, though she last month described herself as 'single'.
Bellingham has thrived since joining Real Madrid last season, winning a Champions League and LaLiga double in his first campaign in the Spanish capital.

Real Madrid will take on Pep Guardiola's Manchester City in the Campions League play-offs
However Los Blancos' European defence is not going completely to plan, with the Spanish giants now facing a mouth-watering clash with Manchester City in the play-offs to reach the last-16.
With 10 goals and 10 assists in 31 games this term, though, it has been another successful campaign so far in front of goal for 21-year-old Bellingham, who is fast becoming a talismanic figure at the Bernabeu.
Along with fellow stars Vinicius Junior, Kylian Mbappe and Rodrygo, Bellingham forms something of a 'Fab Four' at Real Madrid - a prospect that would terrify most managers.
Ahead of his side's clash with Real in the play-offs on Tuesday, Pep Guardiola has admitted Manchester City will find it hard going keeping all four stars quiet.
'It's impossible in 90 minutes to control these four players,' said Guardiola. 'Everyone knows it. We have to reduce their involvement as much as possible, knowing it will (not always) happen and accept that. Both teams had problems with injuries through the season.
'Madrid handled it much better than us, top of LaLiga. They have shown the consistency and in the tough moments they bring their best. We have to make two big games to go through.'
