Ben Shelton and Trinity Rodman confirmed their relationship with a loved-up Instagram post in March 2025
Trinity Rodman and Ben Shelton are an athletic power couple.
Less than two weeks after sparking dating rumors on TikTok in early March 2025, the pair confirmed their relationship with a hard launch on Instagram. Fans and friends, including tennis pros Coco Gauff and Frances Tiafoe, excitedly commented on the post.
Shelton and Rodman are choosing to keep aspects of their relationship private, including how they met, but they have continued to gush over each other on social media, and Rodman made her players’ box debut at Shelton’s BMW Open semifinals match in Munich in April 2025.
The soccer pro opened up to ESPN’s SportsCenter about making her and Shelton’s relationship public. When asked about the response to their Instagram post, Rodman said with a laugh, “I mean, I’m just another person in a relationship and people know about it.”
Rodman previously dated NFL player Trinity Benson — the pair confirmed their romance on Instagram in May 2024.
