In the world of football, superstition is as common as a corner kick, but when you throw the Kardashians into the mix, things get a whole lot more intriguing. If you thought the Kardashian curse was reserved for rappers and reality stars, think again.
Jude Bellingham, Real Madrid's golden boy, might just be the latest victim of this infamous phenomenon. And if history is any guide, he better watch his step—literally.

A Look At Kim Kardashian's Net Worth Since Divorcing Kanye West
Kim Kardashian knows how to leverage her fame, so it's no wonder her divorce has barely made a dent in her net worth.
The Kardashian Curse Has Impacted Many Men
Fresh off a stellar season where he added a UEFA Super Cup to his trophy cabinet, Jude’s rise has been nothing short of meteoric. However, it seems that not even football’s brightest young star can outrun the reach of the Kardashian curse.
The curse, for those not in the know, is the eerie pattern of bad luck that seems to follow anyone who gets too close to the Kardashian-Jenner clan. Just ask Kanye West, Scott Disick, or Tristan Thompson—they’ve all seen their fortunes take a nosedive after entangling themselves with America’s most famous family.
But back to Bellingham. Real Madrid recently announced that the 20-year-old midfielder has been sidelined by an injury to his plantaris muscle. In a statement, the club said, "Following tests carried out today on Jude Bellingham by Real Madrid’s medical team, the player has been diagnosed with an injury to the plantaris muscle in his right leg. His progress will be monitored."
Manager Carlo Ancelotti didn’t seem too concerned, saying, "[Bellingham] got a knock. We’re evaluating it." Yet fans, ever the conspiracy theorists, are already pointing fingers at a different culprit: Kim Kardashian.
Jude Recently Collaborated With Kim
That’s right. As Bellingham embarks on his road to recovery, fans are speculating that he might have been cursed by none other than Kim K herself. The timing is suspicious, after all. Bellingham recently rubbed shoulders with the reality TV queen when he was announced as one of the new faces of her wildly successful shapewear brand, SKIMS.
The two even took selfies together at Real Madrid's training ground, where Kardashian brought her football-obsessed kids—North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm—to meet the squad. What should have been an innocent photo-op has now got fans buzzing that the curse has claimed yet another victim.
The idea of the Kardashian curse first hit the beautiful game in 2023. Kim Kardashian and her family showed up to watch Arsenal take on Sporting Lisbon in the Europa League. The result? Arsenal crashed out of the competition that night on penalties.
A few days later, the Kardashians were in Paris to catch a Paris Saint-Germain match, and wouldn't you know it? PSG lost 2-0 to Rennes, a defeat that snapped their 35-game unbeaten streak at home.

How Khloe Kardashian's Net Worth Reached $60 Million
Khloe Kardashian has made millions for herself through TV, brand deals, endorsements, and her clothing line Good American.
It seems wherever the Kardashians go, chaos follows. Even Manchester United and Roma fans can tell you that their teams suffered losses after Kim was spotted wearing their merchandise. It’s no wonder Real Madrid supporters are on edge. With Jude already injured, the last thing they want is for their new star to fall prey to the Kardashian curse.
So, while Jude focuses on his rehab, we’re left to wonder: Is this just a case of bad timing, or has the Kardashian curse claimed yet another victim? One thing’s for sure—if you see Kim K in the stands at your team’s next match, you might want to start worrying.
