The jet-set life of English star Jude Bellingham with his famous brother, stunning girlfriend and connection to Kim Kardashian

Jude Bellingham has built a successful career on the football pitch, playing for teams such as Real Madrid and the England national team, but his career is growing off the pitch too. The 20-year-old, who led England to victory in their first game at Euro 2024, recently revealed his new high-profile job – and it couldn’t be more different.

On Tuesday, June 11, it was announced that Jude is the new face of Kim Kardashian’s brand SKIMS, meaning he will appear in campaigns for the brand alongside Kate Moss, Megan Fox and Cardi B.

With his latest career move, the midfielder has also followed in the modelling footsteps of his rumoured girlfriend Laura Celia Valk. On Instagram, 25-year-old Laura has an impressive 509,000 followers, where she shares stunning snaps from her lavish life.

The couple’s relationship was first reported in April this year. A source told The Sun: “Laura has been telling everyone about the relationship. She has been staying with him in Madrid for the last few weekends and is absolutely smitten.”

Jude, whose football career took him to Spanish club Real Madrid, lives in the La Finca district, while Laura is based in Amsterdam.

Despite his success, Jude is not the only professional footballer in his family. His younger brother Jobe, 18, is a rising star. Jobe currently plays for Sunderland, but does not wear “Bellingham” on the back of his shirt, just “Jobe”.

“I think he’s trying to create his own identity,” said former Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray. “He doesn’t want to live off his brother’s name; he wants to be the footballer he is and show people what he can do.”

Jude is also very close to his parents Mark and Denise and has previously spoken about how much his mother means to him. “The role my mother plays is enormous. To be honest, it’s probably the biggest role of all, more than my coaches and managers,” he said at his launch at Real Madrid.

Speaking to MailOnline in 2022, he added: ‘Without my mum, sometimes I’d be too down at the lows or too overwhelmed at the highs, and I stay pretty humble by having her around.

“It’s also great to have her around because she’s also very funny. We get along so well and always do things together.”
