Kim Kardashian ‘crushes’ on England star during Euros as fans jokingly call her ‘cougar’
Kim Kardashian said she is “thrilled” to have England’s Euro 2024 star Jude Bellingham fronting her Skims Men’s campaign and branded him “an icon”.
Kim Kardashian is said to have a crush on England footballer Jude Bellingham, whom she recently signed up as a brand ambassador for her company, Skims. Alongside the first picture of Jude modelling for the Skims Men’s campaign earlier this month, Kim, 43, expressed her excitement over working with the 20-year-old.
She said in a statement: “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, a source has claimed that Kim isn’t only impressed by his talents, but also by his “his looks, style and intelligence”. They said: “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.”
They 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 went on to claim that “Kim can’t stop talking about how hot Jude is” and is “very excited” about working with him.
With a 23 age-gap between them, Kim is said to have been teased about “being a cougar”, but “doesn’t care” about this title.
“Jude is hot and she sees nothing wrong with her crush,” the source added.
The Mirror has contacted a representative for Kim, Jude and Laura Celia Valk, who is reportedly in a relationship with the footballer, for comment.
