Jude Bellingham's American girlfriend in bitter feud with her homeless mother

Jude Bellingham has been caught in a bitter family feud after it emerged his American girlfriend's mother is living in a homeless shelter in Los Angeles.

As the England star prepares for Wednesday's World Cup opener against Croatia, his influencer partner Ashlyn Renee Castro is embroiled in a social media spat with ex-model Tina Marie Young.

'Who is this Jude Bellingham?' the 61-year-old posted on TikTok, addressing her daughter. 'You disobeyed your mum, lied about her, left her in shelters.'

Addressing the Real Madrid midfielder himself, she added: 'Come on, Jude Bellingham, who are you with my beautiful daughter, who has left her mum in shelters, lying about her? Who are you? Are you lying too?'

She bemoaned her plight in shelters as her daughter travels the world: 'I'm being attacked, bedbugs, cockroaches. People say they feel safer on the street – it's true.'

Ms Castro, 28, has claimed that her mother is schizophrenic and 'been off her medication for over ten years'.

Hitting back, her mum said: 'It's devastating that I have a family and... a daughter that just continues to lie.'

Speaking from the shelter in Los Angeles, she continued with a thinly veiled swipe at Ms Castro's heavy makeup and filtered social media videos, saying: 'I don't get on there trying to be somebody I'm not. This is me, real me, no makeup, plain.'

Former Birmingham City star Bellingham, six years Ms Castro's junior at 22, has been dating her since January last year. She has more than 646,000 followers on Instagram and another 245,000 on TikTok, and shares with them her travels around the world.

She is often in Spain, watching Bellingham play for Real, and has a home in LA.

Bellingham, who made his World Cup debut in Qatar in 2022, has called Ms Castro 'my love'. She has described him as 'the most thoughtful, kind-hearted, hard-working, incredible human I've ever known.'

But her mother has a less favourable view of Bellingham's belle, complaining that her daughter has cut her off, posting on Instagram: 'Not a call or nothing!!!'

Ms Castro rarely speaks publicly about her personal life, but last year was prompted by a tsunami of misinformation to film a lengthy video explaining herself.

Despite rumours she had dated numerous celebrities, including Oscar-winning actor Michael B Jordan, she insisted: 'I've only had three boyfriends over the last eight years.'

She also said that explicit photos under her name on adult website OnlyFans were not her.

Perhaps moved by her mother's plight, Ms Castro hopes to work with the mentally ill, saying last year: 'I've been working on a non-profit organisation to help people struggling with mental illness.'

Ms Young claims to have become a born-again Christian after suffering a shattering divorce and finding herself on the streets. She brands Ms Castro's late father, who ran California medical spas and a car detailing service, as 'a narcissist sociopath'.

In another post, she said: 'I'm praying for my beautiful daughter Ashlyn to wake up and speak the truth about me. They tried to silence me, they tried to lock me in hospitals, and jack me with s**t saying I was crazy. But guess what? God saved me, didn't he, and I'm here speaking the truth.'

Ms Young also insisted that she was a good mother, adding: 'Maybe in time she [Ashlyn] will come to see, I was there, I cared.'
