The role of a mother
Jude stated that his mother Denise, who works in human resources, still makes his bed in December while Jude was representing England at the World Cup in Qatar.
When he returned to Gareth Southgate’s training camp after doing that, his teammates made fun of him.
But he also talked about the role that the Bellingham clan’s matriarch played in helping him get to the top.
“My mother is playing a huge role,” he remarked.
To be really honest, I believe it to be even more crucial than my coaches and supervisors at this time.
She assisted Jude in staying grounded as football world glory loomed.
Borussia Dortmund rewarded his hometown club Birmingham City £22 million in 2020 following an outstanding year that led to the club retiring his No. 22 shirt.
While Jude’s father Mark, a retired police sergeant, stayed in the Midlands with younger son Jobe, Denise joined him in Germany and helped him settle in.
They made the sacrifice so that both of their sons would have the support they needed, with Denise being able to help Jude concentrate solely on football and avoid growing up spoiled by money.

Jobe, who was 17 at the time, said of his father’s career: “If I get anywhere near that, I’ll have had a great career.” I’ll put my all into it!
“All the sacrifices my mother, father, brother, and grandparents have made have led to me being here today.”

A £15 million proposal for the talent has been linked to Premier League newcomers Burnley.
Sunderland is rumored to be interested as well, but manager Lee Bowyer has cautioned.
Everyone would expect him to act like his brother whenever he enters the field of play now, the former Leeds player said.
Don’t subject him to it. It’s inappropriate for him. He will play by his own rules. We believe he will succeed.
