French TV star and influencer Polska Ssoukali has admitted she regrets rejecting Jude Bellingham after the Real Madrid and England midfielder became a World Cup hero. The 26-year-old claims Bellingham slid into her Instagram DMs several years ago, but she chose to ignore his advances.
Influencer's Snapchat Admission
Polska Ssoukali, who boasts 431,000 Instagram followers, posted the confession on Snapchat alongside a picture of the Real Madrid star. She wrote: "The least profitable rejection of my life." The influencer, known online as Polska, was born Pauline in Poland before moving to France at age five.
Career and Earnings
Polska first rose to fame on Instagram before landing a TV gig on Cyril Hanouna's daily show Tout Beau Tout Neuf. She is best known as a former panellist on the hit talk show Touche Pas à Mon Poste and for appearances on TBT9. She once revealed on the show that she earns around €20,000 a month from social media, as reported by creatorzine.com. However, that pales compared to Bellingham's staggering earnings. His base salary at Real Madrid is approximately £345,000 per week, equating to roughly £18 million annually before bonuses and sponsorships, with a total net worth thought to be around £43 million.
Bellingham's World Cup Success
At 23, Bellingham has been one of the standout players of the 2026 World Cup. In the quarter-final against Norway, he scored both goals in a dramatic 2-1 comeback. He will look to deliver another masterclass against Argentina in the semi-final on Wednesday evening, as England chases a first World Cup win since 1966. Bellingham is currently dating stunning model Ashlyn Castro, 28, who has more than 650,000 Instagram followers. They first went public last year, and she has become a fixture in the stands at the Bernabeu and in North America supporting him.
