Meet England footballer Jude Bellingham’s parents, Denise and Mark
Mark is a retired non-league footballer, while Denise was an HR professional – but now they’re both involved in their 2 sons’ football careers
“My mum’s been telling me all week to watch my language, watch my tackles, watch my face, watch my emotions,” he told the media. “So yeah, I think she drilled it into me all week about being careful of that yellow card.”
So, who are the football superstar’s parents, Mark and Denise Bellingham? Here’s what we know.
Jude Bellingham’s dad is a former footballer
It seems that football is in Jude’s blood. His father, Mark Bellingham, 50, was a non-league footballer, scoring over 700 goals across many different clubs, including Stourbridge and Leamington.
“We talk about footballing heroes, and my dad was like my first,” said Jude in an interview with The Football Association in 2021. “When you go and watch him play every week in non-league, you know it’s not the Premier League or anything, but seeing the way that he played and the atmosphere – it made me fall in love with football, so he was probably my first hero.”
