Madrid, Spain – Real Madrid superstar Jude Bellingham sent shockwaves across social media last night with an emotional Instagram post confirming that his long-term partner, Dutch model Laura Celia Valk, is pregnant with their first child. The 22-year-old Englishman broke the news alongside a black-and-white photo of the couple, writing: “I can’t stay silent this time… we’re expecting.”

In a twist that stunned fans worldwide, Bellingham revealed the couple are expecting a baby girl and that the due date falls in early March 2026 – meaning he could miss key Champions League and La Liga fixtures, including a potential El Clásico. The timing has sparked intense debate among Madrid supporters about how the club will cope without their midfield talisman.

Within hours the post amassed over 12 million likes, instantly overshadowing preseason predictions and turning Bellingham into the most talked-about figure in football. Neither Real Madrid nor Bellingham’s representatives have commented further, but sources close to the player say the couple are “overjoyed” despite the unexpected schedule clash.
