Miss Universe Fátima Bosch has spoken out about the swirling rumours linking her romantically to Jude Bellingham, the Midland-born footballer who recently starred at the World Cup. The Mexican model acknowledged noticing the numerous social media posts where fans “shipped” her with the 23-year-old England and Real Madrid midfielder.
Despite the buzz, Bosch clarified that she has never met Bellingham. During an airport interview, she described him as both “handsome” and a talented athlete but emphasized her own relationship with her partner, whose kindness she values most.
The rumours could have created complications, considering Bellingham’s serious relationship with influencer Ashlyn Castro, aged 28, who has quickly become a well-known figure among football WAGs.
