- Jude Bellingham and his dad shared a heart-warming reunion in Italy this week

Jude Bellingham enjoyed a heart-warming reunion with his father after recently winning the Golden Boy 2023 award recognising the best young men’s player.
The England and Real Madrid midfielder was voted for the individual accolade at an awards ceremony in Turin, Italy and shared a hug with his dad afterwards.
Bellingham’s parents – Mark and Denise – have supported both Jude and younger brother Jobe throughout their footballing careers and are currently settled in different countries.
Jobe joined Sunderland from Birmingham in the summer, while Jude secured a £115m transfer to Real Madrid after previously starring at Borussia Dortmund.
Their parents made the difficult decision to individually relocate with Denise moving to Madrid with Jude, while Mark stayed in England to support Jobe at Sunderland.

Bellingham and his father warmly embraced as the pair enjoyed some time together in Italy and social media was delighted to witness the special parent and child moment.
The 20-year-old has starred since moving to Spain’s capital scoring 15 goals in all competitions so far and breaking Cristiano Ronaldo’s record for the most goals scored in a players first 15 games at the Spanish giants.

However, some on social media hilariously questioned how both parents decided on who was moving to Spain, while the other remained in England’s north east.
Mail Sport’s Liverpool and Everton correspondent Lewis Steele quipped: ‘Must have been an intense game of rock paper scissors to decide who lives in Madrid and who lives in Sunderland.’
Meanwhile, a Sunderland supporter added online: ‘One brother plays for the biggest club in the world, the other plays for Real Madrid.’
Another added: ‘Talk about making sacrifices for your kids – mother and father not seeing each other on a regular basis just so that their kids can excel at what they do.’
