Ben Shelton and Dennis Rodman’s daughter, Trinity, are officially a couple, and they made it known to the world with a bold Instagram “hard launch.” The 22-year-old rising tennis star and the talented U.S. soccer player confirmed their relationship in a post that immediately went viral, sending fans and the sports world into a frenzy.

On March 17, Shelton posted a carousel of photos on Instagram, but it was the last image that caught everyone’s attention—a mirror selfie of Trinity Rodman kissing him on the cheek in an elevator.
Alongside the post, Shelton wrote, “I been focused, but I’m steady climbin’, I’m nowhere near my peak.” While the caption seemed to reference his professional career, fans quickly realized it also marked his public acknowledgment of his new romance.
Rodman responded in the comments with a cheeky four-word phrase: “Shooters shoot I guess .” Her playful comment instantly sparked reactions from fans and fellow athletes, with some calling them one of the next great sports power couples.
Shelton’s on-tour friends, including Coco Gauff and Frances Tiafoe, reacted with excitement, with Gauff writing, “Hard launchhhhh!!” and Tiafoe adding, “We gram now .”
This announcement didn’t come as a total shock, as fans had already speculated about their relationship thanks to a series of flirty TikToks. On March 6, Shelton posted a video listening to GloRilla and Jorjiana’s song, “ILBB2,” which includes the lyrics: “They say shooters shoot, Duke Dennis what’s up with you.”
The next day, Rodman seemingly responded with her own TikTok, mouthing the same lyrics while adding a message, as she smiled and pointed at the words. This back-and-forth exchange set off speculation that the two were dating, and just over a week later, they confirmed it.
Trinity Rodman is no stranger to the spotlight. As the daughter of NBA Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman, she has made a name for herself in professional soccer. At just 18 years old, she became the youngest player ever drafted into the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) and has since emerged as one of the league’s brightest stars.
Despite her success, Rodman has publicly spoken about her complicated relationship with her father. In December 2024, she appeared on the Call Her Daddy podcast, where she described Dennis Rodman as an absentee parent. Following the interview, Dennis posted a public apology, stating, “Sorry I wasn’t the Dad you wanted me to be, but I still tried and I still try and never will stop.”
Trinity has also previously been in a public relationship with NFL wide receiver Trinity Benson, but the two have since broken up.
Shelton, on the other hand, is a fast-rising star in men’s tennis. The 22-year-old American made headlines in 2023 by reaching the U.S. Open semifinals, becoming the youngest American to do so since Michael Chang in 1992. His father, Bryan Shelton, is a former pro tennis player and coach, so it’s no surprise that Ben has quickly risen through the ATP ranks.
Currently ranked No. 14 in the world, Shelton has already captured two ATP titles and has proven himself as one of the brightest young players on the tour.
With both Shelton and Rodman at the peak of their respective sports, fans are already labeling them as the next great sports power couple. Trinity has already won an Olympic gold medal with the U.S. Women’s National Team, while Shelton is looking to add Grand Slam titles to his growing resume.
Now, with their relationship public, fans will be keeping an eye on this duo—both on and off the court.
