Miss Universe Fátima Bosch has addressed speculation over a potential romance with 'handsome' Midland World Cup star Jude Bellingham, after viral social media posts paired them together. The 26-year-old Mexican model was approached at an airport and questioned about their supposed relationship, during which she confirmed she had never met the Stourbridge-born Real Madrid midfielder.
Social Media 'Shipping' Sparks Rumours
Bosch opened up about the rumours during an interview conducted in Spanish, which was later shared widely online. She said she had noticed numerous social media posts from supporters 'shipping' them—a term referring to fans voicing their wish to see two celebrities in a relationship. Despite conceding that Bellingham was both 'handsome' and talented at football, she stated that her partner being a decent person was the most crucial quality to her.
Bellingham's Existing Relationship
The rumours could have proven tricky for Bellingham, 23, who is already in a serious relationship. According to NeedToKnow, he has been dating Ashlyn Castro since 2024. The 28-year-old influencer has rapidly established herself as a WAG favourite. Bellingham scored six goals at the World Cup before England were knocked out by Argentina at the semi-final stage on Wednesday night, July 15. The South American side were taking on Spain in the final on Sunday, July 19.
