Suspicion has been mounting over the nature of their relationship – if there even is one – with Laura’s latest post doing little to quash rumours.
She sent her 514,000 Instagram followers wild as she shared a gallery of bikini-clad snaps, writing: ‘a lovely work trip to Ibiza. I can’t wait to share the results..
‘And I can’t wait for a proper long vacation here.’
Dutch model Laura looked incredible in the snaps as she showed off her bronzed bikini body in a tiny red two-piece.

Suspicion has been mounting over the nature of their relationship – if there even is one – with Laura’s latest post doing little to quash rumours
The posts, taken 879 miles away from Cologne, Germany indicated that she won’t be cheering on Jude when England takes on Slovenia at 8pm on Tuesday,
However, the Mail on Thursday revealed the mystery surrounding their ‘romance’ – because they don’t appear to be in a relationship at all.
Instead, weeks of rumours were prompted by a publicity stunt orchestrated by an opportunistic executive at Manchester-based clothing company PrettyLittleThing, where Laura is a model.
It was at a glamourous lingerie photoshoot in Madrid that she apparently confided in make-up artists and hairdressers that she and Bellingham, 20, had got close.
In details believed to have been leaked by the firm to a red top newspaper, Laura, 25, was said to be ‘completely smitten’ and had spent time at his home in the Spanish city where he plays for Real Madrid.
While neither party has commented on reports of a relationship, two months on from Laura’s photoshoot the pair still haven’t been seen together and there are claims that Jude is still on the exclusive dating app Raya.
A source close to PrettyLittleThing said that when bosses overheard that she knew Jude, an employee at the company contacted the newspaper.
‘It was one of those rumours that grew legs and there doesn’t seem to be an awful lot to it. But what was evident from the leak is that it got PrettyLittleThing a lot of publicity.
She sent her 514,000 Instagram followers wild as she shared a gallery of bikini-clad snaps, writing: ‘a lovely work trip to Ibiza. I can’t wait to share the results..’
‘The story that Laura and Jude were dating went everywhere, and each time the story was repeated, PLT got a mention. It’s quite clever, really.
‘The world has been waiting for a glimpse of Laura but it doesn’t look like that is going to happen, she seems to be doing her own thing in Paris and having a jolly old time, too.’
Jude’s impact on the pitch has been unquestionable and according to one expert he could soon eclipse future teammate Kylian Mbappe as the sport’s most valuable star
‘Bellingham has the potential to exceed Ronaldo and Messi in terms of marketability.’ Wilson continued.
‘If we had this conversation in ten years’ time and Bellingham continues his trajectory with Real Madrid, then I think he will surpass Mbappe considerably.
‘They are at the beginning of that journey; Mbappe would be more established than Bellingham as he has been around for a little bit longer, but the potential for both players would be significantly more than the transfer fee that you would need to sign either of them.
‘Mbappe is worth more now than Bellingham, but the England midfielder has a degree more marketability about him and he is in the earlier part of his career as well.’
