American tennis player Ben Shelton and Olympic soccer star Trinity Rodman hard launched their relationship Monday on social media.
Taking to his Instagram, Shelton included a snapshot with Rodman, who is a forward for the USWNT and the Washington Spirit, as the last slide in a carousel post.
“I been focused, but I’m steady climbin’, I’m nowhere near my peak,” Shelton, 22, wrote.
“Shooters shoot I guess 🤭👀,” Rodman, also 22, who is the daughter of Bulls legend Dennis Rodman, said in the comments.
The tennis community especially enjoyed their reveal.
Fellow players Coco Gauff and Sloane Stephens said it was a “hard launch” by the couple.
Francis Tiafoe added, “We gram now 👀👀👀👀.”
It’s unclear exactly how Shelton and Rodman met and when they started dating.
It appeared as though some of the tennis community in the comments might’ve known about the couple.
Rodman previously dated NFL wide receiver Trinity Benson, who last played with the Cleveland Browns in 2023.
Rodman made thier relationship official in a since-deleted post on Instagram in May 2024.
“Trinity squared 🫣😘,” she wrote, including two photos of the pair at that time.
It’s unclear when they split.
Shelton was previously linked to Florida University heptathlete Anna Hall.
Rodman is usually private about her personal life.
Last December, she made headlines for discussing her upbringing and her strained relationship with her father during an appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast.
After the former NBA player issued a public apology to his daughter, she said she was “done” with him.
