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.
The club never showed me any concern, says Real Madrid's manager Carlo Ancelotti
Carlo Ancelotti has claimed that Real Madrid never showed any concern about his future when the team were underperforming. Rather, the club has always been supportive.
Speaking in a post-match conference after the 4-2 victory against Sevilla in the league, Ancelotti said (via Madrid Zone):
"The club never showed me any concern. They have always shown affection, calm and tranquillity. This is what a coach needs in difficult times. I trust them and they have been very clear with me.”
This comes after speculations concerning his future as the manager emerged due to the club's poor run of form, particularly in the UEFA Champions League. However, Ancelotti has been able to turn things around for good.
Los Blancos are ranked second in the 2024-25 La Liga standings, having registered 40 points from 18 games. Ancelotti was recently named FIFA's 2024 coach of the year (via Fabrizio Romano).
