The elder Bellingham brother is enjoying an Xmas break unlike British-based players.
The Real Madrid star, 21, seemed to soak up the festive atmosphere at Ewood Park, passionately backing Sunderland in their promotion battle. With the match played at the former stomping ground of Premier League icon Shearer, Bellingham’s reaction to the reworked chant—featuring a cheeky dig at the Newcastle legend—added a humorous twist to his appearance.
Sunderland supporters were thrilled to see Bellingham in the stands, and speculation over whether he joined in on the spirited song has only amplified the fun. Fans took to social media to share their admiration for the England midfielder’s lighthearted engagement, calling it a “legendary” moment during his holiday break.
Bellingham’s visit not only spotlighted his unwavering support for Jobe but also reinforced his charm as a fan favorite—both on and off the pitch.
Jude Bellingham’s playful demeanor stole the spotlight during Sunderland’s Boxing Day clash against Blackburn, as fans speculated he jokingly joined in a cheeky chant about Newcastle icon Alan Shearer.
The Real Madrid star, 21, was seen swaying to Sunderland supporters’ reworked version of a familiar tune, replacing “he wears a magic hat” with the unseasonal and not-so-wholesome “Shearer is a w****r.”
Captured smiling and appearing to mouth parts of the chant, Bellingham seemed to be enjoying his festive break while cheering on his younger brother Jobe. With Real Madrid out of action until January 6, Jude’s appearance in the stands delighted Sunderland fans, who appreciated his support in both spirit and song.
Fans online couldn’t contain their excitement, with one quipping, “Not something I expected to see this Christmas, but here we are. Legend!” Others chimed in with heartfelt admiration, calling him a “top bloke” and professing, “Can’t love the guy any more if I tried.”
For Sunderland supporters, Jude’s lighthearted moment added an extra sprinkle of joy to an already intense Championship battle.
Jude Bellingham’s 19-year-old brother, Jobe, continues to impress as he carves his own path in football, with many tipping him to reach the same heights as his Real Madrid star sibling.
While fans fixated on Jude’s potential involvement in a cheeky chant, Jobe’s focus remained on Sunderland’s dramatic Boxing Day clash at Blackburn.
The match saw Yuki Ohashi put Rovers ahead before Sunderland staged a swift turnaround with a Chris Rigg goal and a clever Wilson Isidor backheel. However, Blackburn’s Harry Leonard salvaged a point with a last-minute equalizer.
The result keeps Sunderland in fourth place, six points ahead of fifth-placed Blackburn, as both sides continue to chase Championship promotion dreams.
