Jude Bellingham, the 23-year-old Real Madrid and England midfielder, is building a £7 million home in the Worcestershire village of Barnt Green, according to estate agents Partridge Homes. The two-acre estate will feature a private trophy room, home gym, cinema room, spa with sauna, indoor swimming pool, and a private barbershop. Landscaped gardens will wrap around the property for added privacy.
Barnt Green: A Footballer Haven
Barnt Green has become a hotspot for footballers. Manchester City's Jack Grealish grew up there, and Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins and former Villa boss Ron Atkinson have also invested in the village. Bellingham's £7 million home adds to the area's elite footballing reputation.
Who Is Jude Bellingham's Girlfriend?
Bellingham is dating US influencer and model Ashlyn Castro, 28, from California. Castro has been spotted supporting him at World Cup matches, wearing an England shirt against Panama and photographed with him after the Croatia game on June 17. She has 705,000 Instagram followers. The pair sparked dating rumours in early 2024 after interacting on Instagram, and were later seen with Bellingham's parents at a Real Madrid game in early 2025. It is believed they connected on the celebrity dating app Raya in late 2024.
Living with Mum in Madrid
When Bellingham joined Real Madrid in 2023, his mother Denise relocated to the Spanish capital to help manage his schedule. They lived in a lavish villa in La Finca, Madrid's most exclusive residential estate, also home to Cristiano Ronaldo. Bellingham said: 'The role my mum is playing is massive. It is probably the biggest role of anyone, more than my coaches and managers, to be honest. Without my mum, sometimes I’d get too low with the lows or too high with the highs and I stay pretty humble because I’ve got her around. It’s also great to have her there because she’s a great laugh as well.' Denise had also accompanied him to Germany when he played for Borussia Dortmund in 2020.
Parents' Separation
In 2025, it was widely reported that Bellingham's parents, Denise and Mark, had separated after 20 years of marriage. They were photographed sitting apart while watching him play for Dortmund in October 2025. Sources confirmed the split to the Daily Mail, noting the couple had lived largely apart in recent years while supporting their sons' careers in Spain and Germany. Bellingham's younger brother Jobe, 20, also plays football.
World Cup Performance
On Wednesday night, Bellingham was one of the few England players to earn credit as the team beat DR Congo in the World Cup knockout stages, with two late goals from captain Harry Kane. England now prepares to face Mexico on Monday morning.
