Love Match: Rodman Cheers on Shelton at Wimbledon
The soccer star shows support for her tennis pro boyfriend across the pond.
Their relationship seems to be heating up as USWNT’s Trinity Rodman was recently seen supporting her boyfriend, tennis player Ben Shelton, at Wimbledon, months after the pair went Instagram official.
Wimbledon Appearance
Rodman previously made an appearance in Shelton’s box during the BMW Open semifinals match in Munich in April. Now, she’s taking her support to one of tennis’s most prestigious tournaments.
Dating within professional sports appears to be on the rise; for example, golfer Rory McIlroy recently filed for divorce from tennis star Erica Stoll after seven years of marriage (USA Today).
Relationship Timeline
After making their relationship public in March, Rodman, daughter of former NBA player Dennis Rodman, discussed the attention it garnered on ESPN’s SportsCenter.
According to Rodman, “I mean, I’m just another person in a relationship and people know about it. I’m obviously very happy and hopefully some of the world’s happy.”
Social Media Displays
Since going public, both athletes have frequently featured each other on social media, creating TikToks, Instagram posts, and birthday messages on the grid.
