Jude Bellingham made a very public statement on Instagram about his relationship with rumored girlfriend Laura Celia Valk, sending fans wild.
The Real Madrid star, 21, and the Dutch influencer, 25, have been linked since April this year, but in June sources claimed it was all a publicity stunt.
However, eagle-eyed fans noticed that the footballer was loving a series of racy photos the model posted on Thursday.
In one photo that caught Jude’s eye, Laura was seen in a pink dress and corset, which showed off her enviable figure.
Another was a mirror selfie, wearing a plunging black leotard and pink ballet shoes.

The beauty then shared a sizzling snap in white lace lingerie panties as she struck a smoldering pose.
Laura has received almost 40,000 likes on the post and one of them is Jude, which is driving fans wild.
Considering the reactions, one fan wrote, “Jude liked it!”
Another said: ‘Hey Jude Bellingham.’
In June it was said that their ‘romance’ was a publicity stunt orchestrated by an opportunistic director of Manchester-based clothing company Pretty Little Thing, where Laura is a model.
It was during a glamorous lingerie photo shoot in Madrid that Laura apparently confided in makeup artists and hairdressers that she and Bellingham had become close.
In details believed to have been leaked by the company to a red top newspaper, Laura is said to be ‘completely in love’ and to have spent time at his home in the Spanish city.
It was also claimed that she saw him play at Real’s Santiago Bernabeu stadium.

And while neither party has responded to reports of a relationship, the pair were not seen together for two months after Laura’s photoshoot and there were claims that Bellingham is still on exclusive dating app Raya.
A source close to PrettyLittleThing said that when bosses heard she knew Jude, a company employee contacted the newspaper.
“It was one of those rumors that started spreading and there doesn’t seem to be much to it. But what became clear from the leak is that it got PrettyLittleThing a lot of publicity.
“The story that Laura and Jude were dating was all over the place, and every time the story was repeated, PLT was mentioned. It’s actually very clever.
“The world has been waiting for a glimpse of Laura, but it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen. She seems to be doing her own thing in Paris and having a good old time too.”
Laura regularly shares bikini and lingerie snaps with her 560,000 Instagram followers.

During a glamorous lingerie photo shoot in Madrid, Laura apparently confided to makeup artists and hairdressers that she and Bellingham had bonded.
In addition to modeling, she is the owner of a social media consultancy firm, after studying creative business administration at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences.
Jude reportedly dated Ghanaian model Asantewa Chitty last year, but she kept the relationship private and never shared photos of the player on her social media pages.
However, the star midfielder was spotted in a series of images on celebrity dating app Raya in June 2023, shortly after announcing his move to Real Madrid.
He is also said to have dated model Asantewa Chitty and American TikTok star Azra Mian.
