Ben Shelton has ‘hard launched’ his relationship with Trinity Rodman by sharing a loved-up social media post.
Rumors had been circulating for a while that USWNT star Trinity – the daughter of NBA legend Dennis Rodman – had linked up with two-time Grand Slam semi-finalist Shelton.
The pair have now gone public with a post on Instagram.
Following his run to the quarter-finals at Indian Wells last week, American tennis star Shelton shared a series of recent snaps on his feed.
The images were captioned: “I been focused, but I’m steady climbin’, I’m nowhere near my peak.”
His final picture showed Rodman planting a kiss on his cheek as the couple shared an elevator ride.
Rodman responded to Shelton’s post by commenting ‘Shooters shoot I guess’ and also included the ‘eyes’ emoji.
Soon after the 22-year-old shared his post, a number of other tennis stars reacted to his personal news.
“Hard launchhhhh!!” world No. 3 Coco Gauff wrote.
“We gram now,” Frances Tiafoe said, adding four of the ‘eyes’ emojis.
“HARDD LAUNCH!!!!!!” 2017 US Open winner Sloane Stephens added, echoing Gauff’s thoughts.
Shelton, who has two ATP titles to his name, currently sits No. 14 in the tennis rankings.
Rodman, meanwhile, has won 46 caps and scored 10 goals for her country at just 22 years of age.
She currently plays her club football with NWSL side the Washington Spirit, and secured gold at the Summer Olympics with the US in Paris.
Rodman is no stranger to the spotlight, having become the youngest player to be drafted in NWSL history when she entered the league aged 18 in 2021.
The forward was then nominated for the Ballon d’Or Féminin a year later.
Last December, Rodman also shared a rare insight into her personal life, when she discussed her relationship with father Dennis.
“He’s not a dad,” the Olympic gold medalist told Alex Cooper on the ‘Call Her Daddy’ podcast.
“Maybe by blood, but nothing else.
“We tried to live with him. But he’s having parties 24/7, bringing random b in.
“He loves the spotlight, he loves the cameras, he loves bringing his children on stage and being like, ‘oh these are my kids.’”
