The studio lights of Madrid’s most-watched late-night show burn hot against my skin. I sit on the plush interview sofa, ostensibly here to promote a new modeling campaign, but the electricity in the air has nothing to do with fashion. For weeks, the rumor mill has churned, linking my name with Jude Bellingham’s. The host, Lorenza, turns to me, her smile sharp and knowing. She nods to the massive screen behind us, where photos from the recent Madrid derby materialize—grainy shots of me in the stands, a jacket pulled tight, my back turned to obscure any sign of allegiance. The audience falls into a hushed, expectant silence, waiting to see how I’ll navigate her teasing probe about 'a certain footballer.'
