Castro later fueled relationship speculation in early 2025 when she attended a Real Madrid match alongside the football player's parents.
Public appearances followed at the Spanish Open tennis tournament in April and following England's World Cup victory against Croatia in Dallas on June 17.
Before dating the England international, Castro was linked to Hollywood actor Michael B. Jordan.
"Late 2017, after she was seen with him at a private event in Los Angeles, where photographs showed her sitting on his lap," reported Fashion Times.
Neither individual confirmed those rumors, and The Sun has also previously linked Castro to 23-year-old NBA player LaMelo Ball.
