Bellingham’s partner releases emotional statement after social media trolling: ‘It’s just been too much’

Jude Bellingham's girlfriend Ashlyn Castro has released an emotional statement on her dating history while refuting a number of rumours that had been doing the rounds on social media. Real Madrid and England midfielder Bellingham has been romantically linked to Castro, an influencer and model from Los Angeles with a massive social media following, since January.

In a video posted on social networking platform TikTok, Castro clarified that she has had only three boyfriends till date and that there are a lot of "made up" stories about her that are getting circulated on social media.

"I don't even know where to begin, but I'm going to try my best to just get into it. It makes me super uncomfortable talking on camera about my personal life. 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 said in the video.

Castro emphasises on 'mental health'

The 27-year-old added that she would want to use her platform to discuss topics such as mental health going forward.

"I'm like shaking because I'm not ready to talk about this on the internet. This is extremely personal. This is my real life. I shouldn't have to talk about this. But moving forward I will talk about things that are important such as mental health. This is something that I wanted to use my platform for but I just wasn't ready," Castro added.
