Jude Bellingham has blown the expectations out of the water. Much was expected from the $114 million rated midfielder following his transfer from Borussia Dortmund. Yet, not only has he excelled as a midfielder but has also seemingly replaced Karim Benzema with his goalscoring prowess (17 goals). The ‘Jude craze’ is well and truly a global phenomenon and he even has admirers in the Kim Kardashian & Kanye West family. Could there be more backdrop in this seemingly unexpected linkup?
Real Madrid are competing well on all fronts. A La Liga and a Champions double would likely Jude Bellingham cement as the 2024 Ballon d’Or winner and further cement his celebrity status. Not likely a problem for the English starlet if he continues racking up admirers like the Kardashians.

It remains to be seen if Bellingham follows Kim Kardashian. However, one thing is clear. He follows her half-sister Kendal Jenner and even labelled her as his celebrity crush previously. Could the Kardashians have been taking notes?
Bellingham is not the only soccer player famous in the Kardashian household. Bukayo Saka is one of her favorite players and the duo have even face-timed each other. Kardashian who made her name as a celebrity fashionista has been spotted in a lot of soccer matches recently, including Lionel Messi’s MLS debut. However, it seems her love for soccer is not a new-found interest.
