Midfielder Jude Bellingham has recently caught the attention of social media after liking a photo of Dutch beauty Laura Celia Valk.

Rumors about Bellingham’s relationship with Valk first surfaced in April 2024. At the time, Marca reported that the 26-year-old model and director, who runs a private company, frequently visited Bellingham’s villa in Madrid, where the two were said to enjoy time together.

Spanish media outlets have revealed that Valk has shared the news of her relationship with family and friends, although both she and Bellingham have kept their romance largely private. However, the secret didn’t last long, as Bellingham recently confirmed the relationship.

The two began following each other on social media, and Bellingham made headlines by liking one of Valk’s photos on Instagram.

This gesture caused a stir online, especially on Valk’s personal page. Since news of their relationship broke, Valk’s career has soared, with her gaining increased visibility and securing more advertising contracts.

Meanwhile, Bellingham’s performance at Real Madrid has been a bit more subdued in the 2024/25 season. After a successful year with the club, the former Dortmund star has yet to score in the league, registering only three assists after 12 matches.
