The very glamorous new woman in football star Jude Bellingham’s life is model and businesswoman Laura Celia Valk.
The Dutch beauty, 25, is a model, TikTok star, clothing designer and even a media consultant.
With more than half a million followers on Instagram, the star often treats followers to a glimpse of her glamorous lifestyle which more recently has include photos of sunny Madris where her new flame Bellingham happens to have an apartment.
Bellingham is set to be a key player on the England team during the Euro 2024 tournament in Germany.
Although the star midfielder has drawn attention on the football pitch, Bellingham has always maintained the utmost privacy when it comes to his relationships – but not this time around.
The model is so smitten with her footballer beau she can’t keep it to herself so the Euros this June may be the perfect stage for the young couple to make their public debut.
Born in the Netherlands on September 16, 1998, Laura is five years older than the Real Madrid midfielder she is believed to be dating.
Laura grew up alongside her younger brother Jasper.
In a sweet throwback post on Instagram, a young Laura sports a yellow spotted shirt with denim dungarees as her wide-eyed sibling peers into the camera beside her.
After finishing school, Laura studied communication and creative business at the Amsterdam University of Applied Science.
The course, which is fully taught in Dutch, allows students to learn about ‘trends in the media world and how to be a content creator within an inspiring, internationally-oriented environment’.
The blonde bombshell proved she’s got brains and beauty and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in 2020.
Keen to capitalise on her good looks, the model and entrepreneur was quickly snapped up by the prestigious modelling agency The Four Model, based in Manchester.
And the Dutch businesswoman who seems to have stolen Bellingham’s heart became almost an instant success.
As well as becoming an ambassador for global brands such as PrettyLittleThing, she is also the face of numerous collections and boasts designer brand deals with the likes of Gucci.
When she’s not jetting around the world, striking a pose, the 25-year-old is the co-founder and owner of a social media consultancy agency called Bobby Rose.
But this is not the only string in her bow – Laura has previously been a presenter at commercial radio network RTL and Subdued as well as a marketing consultant at Xerox, according to her profile on the Bobby Rose website.
It reads: ‘Laura’s passion for marketing and her extensive experience make her a valuable asset in the industry.’
Laura clearly keeps herself busy and never stays in one place for long – the ambitious model’s Instagram shows how she regularly flits between luxurious hotels across Europe.
But more recently the stunning CEO has been posting regularly from Madrid where her new flame Bellingham happens to have an apartment.
Bellingham is set to be a key player on the England team during the Euro 2024 tournament in Germany.
Although the star midfielder has drawn attention on the football pitch, Bellingham has always maintained the utmost privacy when it comes to his relationships.
His ex-girlfriend, Ghanian model Asantewa Chitty, never shared photographs on her social media of the player during their relationship, which is believed to have ended before his move to Madrid.
The beauty was recently pushed into the spotlight after a video of the model hitting back at haters who claimed she had plastic surgery has re-emerged ahead of the Euros.
The old TikTok video posted by the Dutch model seems to address rumours that she had plastic surgery to achieve her gorgeous looks.
The video flicks through pictures of Laura as a child and then as a teenager in an attempt to disprove the cruel rumours.
In a short message to her followers, the model said: ‘Throughout the years, so no I didn’t get anything done.’
But the spotlight doesn’t seem to bother Laura who has struggled to stay quiet about her new high profile relationship.
According to The Sun, a source said: ‘Laura was quite loose in telling all the make-up artists about seeing him during her latest job.
‘Practically everyone on set knew about it by the end of the day.
‘She’s been staying at his place in Madrid over the past few weekends and is completely smitten.’
He may be in contention to win the Ballon d’Or but Bellingham seems to have his eyes on another prize.
