Real Madrid’s rising star, Jude Bellingham, seems to be stirring up intrigue off the field as well as on it, hinting on social media at a connection with Dutch model Laura Celia Valk.
The 20-year-old midfielder, currently dazzling on the field in Spain, subtly hinted at the possible romance when he recently interacted with Laura’s latest social media post—though eagle-eyed fans noticed the “like” was swiftly removed.
Laura, known for her captivating presence online, had fans buzzing with her latest photo series, where she posed confidently, donning a pink corset. The post attracted plenty of attention, but it was Bellingham’s brief interaction with it that got fans talking. Though he may have quietly unliked the post afterward, the intrigue surrounding the pair only seems to be growing.
The rumors began swirling earlier this year, with Laura reportedly meeting Bellingham during one of her trips abroad. She even added fuel to the rumor mill back in September, appearing at a London event for Charlotte Tilbury in a chic black dress. Her appearance, noted for its elegance and style, was quickly linked to Bellingham, as fans speculated about her connection with the English sensation.
Represented by The Four Models agency, Laura has already made a name for herself in the fashion industry, featuring in collaborations with major brands like Pretty Little Thing. It was during one of these modeling gigs that she reportedly let slip to colleagues about seeing the Real Madrid midfielder. A source hinted that by the end of the day, practically everyone on set knew about her rumored romance with Bellingham.

Interestingly, another source threw a different angle into the mix. According to the Daily Mail, this speculation could have been a clever publicity move orchestrated by Pretty Little Thing, suggesting the rumor may have been fueled to generate buzz for the brand. “It was one of those rumors that grew legs,” the source said, “and there doesn’t seem to be an awful lot to it.” However, the widespread attention did give the brand some free publicity—an unintended benefit of the alleged romance, perhaps.
Whether or not the relationship is genuine, Laura has certainly caught the attention of Bellingham’s fanbase. She’s often seen enjoying herself in various European hotspots, including Paris, seemingly unbothered by the growing media interest. Reports indicate she’s been making the most of her travels, adding an air of mystery as fans speculate about the nature of her connection with England’s budding star.
Despite the intrigue, it seems that Laura and Bellingham are keeping things under wraps, with no public confirmation from either party. Some fans remain hopeful for an official glimpse of the two together, while others take the rumors with a grain of salt, aware of how often these stories can be magnified for the sake of a headline.
The rumor has certainly given Bellingham’s fans something to discuss beyond his incredible on-field performances. Known for his focus and discipline in the game, this side of Bellingham’s personal life has sparked curiosity, with many intrigued by the thought of the 20-year-old striking up a romance with a rising model.
For now, though, it seems that any concrete details about their relationship, if it exists, will remain elusive. Fans are left piecing together clues from the model’s social media posts and Bellingham’s occasional likes and unlikes.
Whether it’s genuine romance or clever publicity, Bellingham’s off-field mystery has added an unexpected layer to his already thrilling story as one of football’s brightest young talents. And as for Laura, she seems more than content to keep fans guessing as she continues enjoying her time across the continent.
