Jude Bellingham, a Real Madrid player, has Kim Kardashian smitten: “Nothing is going to get in Kim’s way.”

According to an exclusive insider who speaks with Life & Style, Kim Kardashian has had a long-standing crush on Jude Bellingham, a midfielder for Real Madrid, and is currently making special efforts to “train” him as the new male face of SKIMS and get him ready for long-term absorption into her L.A. world.

“Kim’s so thrilled to have Jude on board and is bragging about him to everybody, sending pictures of him to her friends and sisters and saying having him as the face of her brand is going to take it to the next level,” according to a source.

“She’s watching his videos on repeat and made a big jet over to Spain to watch him play last week,” according to a source. On August 22, the 43-year-old reality star brought Saint, her 8-year-old son by rapper Ye, to see the rising talent perform at Valladolid. “The season is only just getting started and she’s planning to show up at a lot of the games, with her son Saint there as the perfect excuse since he adores soccer.” The Kardashians star, who hasn’t been lucky in love by a long measure, has been asking her kids for dating guidance, as another insider previously revealed to Life & Style.

“Even though North is only 11, Kim always raves about how wise and mature she is, and Saint is obsessed with basketball and soccer, so he knows all the players and is very up on whose star is on the rise,” according to a second source. “She figures her kids know who’s appropriate for her better than any celebrity matchmaker could.”

Kim revealed that her son hopes she would end up with one of his sports idols during a conversation about her dating possibilities with Jimmy Fallon on August 14 broadcast of The Tonight Show. She said, “Saint wants me to be with any basketball player or soccer player,” to the 49-year-old host. She joked, “If only you knew,” referring to her and her siblings’ history of unsuccessful relationships with athletes, which included marriages to Kris Humphries, Odell Beckham Jr., and Lamar Odom. Even though Jude, 21, is presently dating Dutch model Laura Celia Valk, there may be more in store for the soccer player from Kim than simply a skincare line endorsement, according to the first source.

“The more Kim meets Jude the more she likes him and the more she crushes on him, even if it is a pretty unlikely situation that she’s going to land the guy because he’s got a girlfriend,” according to the insider. “That being said, he couldn’t be more grateful that Kim’s hired him and obviously feels like the big man on campus now that he has her launching his fashion career.”

“Plus she’s putting a ton of money in his pocket and opening the doors for the VIP treatment when he’s in America.” “But there is that worry, particularly among his fans, that his game might ultimately suffer if he gets too ensconced in that kind of world, especially if it’s led by the Kardashians.” “But it seems nothing is going to get in Kim’s way.”
