Kim Kardashian reportedly has the hots for England footballer Jude Bellingham, whom she recently enlisted as a brand ambassador for her company, Skims. The reality star, 43, shared the first snap of Jude modelling for the Skims Men’s campaign earlier this month and expressed her excitement about working with the 20-year-old in a statement.
She gushed: “I’m thrilled to unveil Jude as the face of our new Skims Men’s campaign. He has always been a rising star within the football world but this year he’s truly cemented himself as an icon, and his influence on the next-generation of players and fans is undeniable!
“This is such an exciting time for the brand, and this campaign is another example of Skims’ ability to create global cultural moments, especially within sports.”
Now, an insider has suggested that Kim isn’t just impressed by his skills on the pitch, but also by his “his looks, style and intelligence”. They revealed: “Getting Jude on board with Skims was a huge deal. He’s one of the hottest properties in the game at the moment, so it’s a major coup for her.”
The source added to Heat Magazine: “He lives in Madrid and she’s heard he’s in a relationship, but it’s no secret that if he were to become available, Kim would be there.”
They also claimed that “Kim can’t stop talking about how hot Jude is” and is “very excited” about the idea of working together. With a 23-year age difference between the pair, this has reportedly led to some light-hearted teasing about Kim being a “cougar”, but she “doesn’t care” about the label, reports the Mirror.
“Jude is hot and she sees nothing wrong with her crush,” they added. The Mirror has reached out to Kim, Jude, and Laura Celia Valk’s representatives for comment.
Despite Kim’s reported interest in Jude, he’s said to be dating Laura Celia Valk, a Dutch model. The couple are yet to confirm their speculated romance, but according to The Sun, Laura recently spilled on their time together during a photoshoot.
An insider told the publication: “Laura has been telling everyone about the relationship. She’s been staying at his place in Madrid over the past few weekends and is completely smitten.”
While Jude hasn’t spoken about his personal life, he has expressed his enthusiasm about being the face of Kim’s latest campaign. He said: “The opportunity to be featured in Skims Men’s latest campaign is incredible. It’s so important for me to have flexibility and comfort when I’m playing and training, or even off-duty, and Skims meets these needs.
“I believe in embracing individuality and feeling comfortable in your own skin, so I’m excited to partner with a brand that embodies and celebrates these values.”
