Dutch model Laura Celia Valk makes relationship status clear amid rumors linking her with Real Madrid ace Jude Bellingham

According to Daily Mail, Dutch model Laura Celia Valk has stated that she's not in a relationship with Real Madrid's midfielder Jude Bellingham. This comes after the pair were reportedly rumored to be in a private relationship.

The dating rumors gained relevance when Pretty Little Thing, a Manchester-based clothing line, posted a publicity stunt. In detail, the stunt was basically during a lingerie photoshoot in Madrid. It was rumored that the Dutch model reportedly told some makeup artists and hairdressers that she and Bellingham had become very close.

This information was reportedly leaked to a red-top publication, which claimed that the model spent some time in the Englishman's home in the Spanish capital.

However, the Dutch model provided an answer during a question-and-answer session with her 567 K Instagram followers.

One netizen asked her on Instagram (via Daily Mail):

"Do you have a boyfriend?.”

And she responded by stating that:

"No, I don't.”

Thus ending any romantic rumors with Bellingham with whom she has previously been linked.

The Englishman has been an important player for Real Madrid this season. In 22 appearances across all competitions, he has scored seven goals and registered six assists.
